Liquid flood
back test
Steady-state
A
Liquid flood back testing must be carried out under expansion
valve threshold operating conditions:
• Lowest foreseeable evaporation, and highest foreseeable
condensation.
• Minimum number of compressor running.
For reversible system, perform test in both heating and cooling
mode.
Suction superheat >5K (9°F)
and the oil superheat shall not
be more than 60 sec below the
safe limit defined in the Dilu-
tion Chart. (see
Check expansion valve se-
lection and setting.
◦
For Thermostatic ex-
pansion valve (TXV)
check bulb position...
◦
For Electronic expan-
sion valve (EXV) check
measurement chain
and PID....
Add a suction accumulator

Tests must be carried out with most unfavorable conditions :
• fan staging,
• compressor staging
• …
Oil superheat shall not be more
than 60 sec per hour below the
safe limit defined in the Dilu-
tion Chart. (see
Defrost test

cle
Defrost test must be carried out in the most unfavorable condi-
tions (at 0°C (32°F) evaporating temperature).
Oil superheat shall not be more
than 60 sec per hour below the
safe limit defined in the Dilu-
tion Chart. (see
)
Check defrost logic. In re-
versible systems, the de-
frost logic can be worked
out to limit liquid flood-
back effect. (for more de-
tails see Control logic).
Add a suction accumulator
(1)
Suction accumulator offers protection by trapping the liquid refrigerant upstream from the compressor. The accumulator should be sized at
least 50 % of the total system charge. Suction accumulator dimensions can impact oil return (gas velocity, oil return hole size…), therefore oil
return has to be checked according to section
.

Placing oil temperature sensor
Oil temperature sensor must be placed on the bottom of the baseplate. Some thermal paste shall be used to
improve the conductivity. The sensor must also be correctly thermally insulated from the ambiance.
The Oil superheat is defined as: (Oil temperature - Evaporating temperature)
