Danfoss requires a minimum compressor running
time of 2 minutes to ensure proper oil return and
sufficient motor cooling.
Additionally, compressor must not exceed 12
starts per hour.
In some cases, oil management can be enhanced
by control logic:
• If oil return test failed, a function can be
integrated in control logic to run all compressors
simultaneously during 2 minutes every hour in
order to boost oil return. Time and delay can
be fine-tuned by oil return test N°1 in section
“Manage oil in the circuit”. During oil boost, pay
special attention to superheat management to
avoid liquid flood back.
• In manifold system, after running long time in
full load, oil unbalance may appears. A function
can be implemented in control logic to stop all
manifold compressors during one minute every
two hours in order to balance oil. Time and delay
can be fine-tuned by Oil balancing test N°2 in
section “Manage oil in the circuit”.
In reversible systems, the defrost logic can be
worked out to limit liquid flood back effect by:
1. Running full load during defrost to share liquid
refrigerant between all compressors.
2. Reducing refrigerant flooding to compressor
by transferring liquid refrigerant from one
exchanger to the other before reversing valve
thanks pressures.
The following defrost logic combines both
advantages:

* EXV Opening degree and time have to be set to keep a minimum pressure for 4 way valve moving.
In any case, defrost logics must respect requirements and tests described in sections “Manage superheat” and “Manage operating envelope”.
In reversible systems, to ensure compressor reliability, the 4-way valve must not reverse when the compressor is stopped due to heating or
cooling demand (stop on thermostat).
