Abstract

See full text

A method to reduce/prevent liquid refrigerant flooding in the compressor is disclosed herein. The method may include closing down the ETV when there is a risk of compressor flooding. The method may include closing down the ETV to a desired value when there is a risk of the compressor flooding. A failure to provide the superheated refrigerant vapor in a desired superheat temperature by the compressor may indicate a risk of the compressor being flooded by liquid refrigerant. The method may include measuring a refrigerant discharge temperature of the compressor, and closing down the ETV when a difference between the refrigerant discharge temperature of the compressor and a refrigerant saturate temperature is below a desired temperature threshold.
