To prevent flooded start damage due to off cycle migration, the accumulator may be configured on  
some systems to allow free drainage from the compressor to the accumulator during the off cycle. When the 
above configuration is not possible and the unit charge is over the charge limit shown in Table 5, a 
crankcase heater is required.
