The relationship between the start of the compressor with liquid and the migration of refrigerant and the solution

The relationship between the start of the compressor with liquid and the migration of refrigerant and the solution One, start with liquid First, let's define what is called liquid start. When the refrigeration unit is in the shutdown state, there is refrigerant liquid in the compressor casing. The next time the compressor is started, the refrigerant liquid will damage the lubrication of the compressor, and the refrigerant liquid will start in the compressor. It is called start with fluid. The main culprit with liquid start-up is the large amount of refrigerant mixed in the lubricant! When the compressor starts, the pressure suddenly drops, and these refrigerants will suddenly boil, causing the oil to foam. This phenomenon is very similar to the bubbling phenomenon of cola when people suddenly open cola bottles in daily life. The duration of blistering is related to the amount of refrigerant, which usually reaches several minutes or more than ten minutes. A lot of foam floated on the oil surface, even filling the crankcase. Once these bubbles are sucked into the air cavity through the air inlet, the bubbles will be reduced to a liquid. This liquid is a mixture of lubricating oil and refrigerant, which is easy to cause liquid shock. And how did the refrigerant that caused the start with liquid enter the crankcase? First of all, it is not ruled out that the imperfect design or commissioning of the system leads to part of the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor under the neutral effect when the compressor is stopped. Secondly, it enters the crankcase in the manner of "refrigerant migration". The flow of refrigerant under the influence of gravity is easy to understand, what about refrigerant migration? To solve the problem, we must first understand what "refrigerant migration" is to eliminate the root cause. Second, what is refrigerant migration? When the compressor is stopped, liquid refrigerant accumulates in the compressor crankcase, which is refrigerant migration. As long as the compressor temperature is lower than the temperature in the evaporator, this phenomenon will occur because the temperature difference will cause a pressure difference between the compressor and the evaporator, driving the refrigerant to move to a colder place. This phenomenon is most likely to occur in cold weather, but for air conditioners and heat pump devices, the condensing unit is far from the compressor, even if the ambient temperature is high, it may happen. Refrigerant migration is a slow process. The longer the compressor is stopped, the more refrigerant will migrate into the lubricant. This process will continue as long as there is liquid refrigerant in the evaporator. There are five suggestions for the measures to prevent the start of carrying liquid with refrigerant migration: There are five suggestions for the measures to prevent the start of carrying liquid with refrigerant migration: 1. Install the liquid pipe solenoid valve. After the unit is shut down, the solenoid valve is closed at the same time, and most of the refrigerant liquid is trapped on the high pressure side, which greatly reduces the possibility of liquid start. 2. Install the compressor electric heating belt. After the compressor is stopped, the electric heating belt is energized to heat the oil sump, maintain the heat input, maintain the high temperature of the oil sump, evaporate the refrigerant liquid in the oil sump, and avoid the influence of the liquid foam started next time. 3. The design of the return air pipeline is inverted U-shaped. After the shutdown, due to the high and low drop between the evaporator and the compressor, due to the effect of its own weight, the liquid in the evaporator migrates to the compressor. At the next start, the evaporator operates in advance to evaporate the liquid into gas to ensure Safety. 4. Install the gas-liquid separator. 5. The unit is pumped down.
