3.2 Motor Cooling
Liquid refrigerant is channelled at full condenser pressure from the main liquid line to the
compressor to cool the electronic, mechanical, and electromechanical components (see
Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4).
The sub-cooled refrigerant enters the compressor through two solenoid valves and
associated fixed orifices located behind the service access cover. The orifices cause the
refrigerant to expand, thereby lowering its temperature. Both valves operate relative to the
temperature at the sensors that are located at the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
Inverter and motor cavity. When the temperature at either sensor reaches a pre-determined
threshold, one solenoid valve opens. If the temperature increases to the point where it
equals a higher temperature threshold, the second solenoid valve opens.
From the outlet of the orifices, the refrigerant is directed to the heatsink plate of the inverter
and then to the underside of the SCR heatsink. From there, the refrigerant passes through
grooves surrounding the motor stator. As the refrigerant flows through the grooves, it
vaporizes into a gas. At the coil outlet, the refrigerant gas is channeled back to the suction
inlet via the motor cavity, thereby cooling the rotor. All models with the exception of the
TT300 and TG230 use a split-cooling method where the motor and electronics portions are
cooled separately by refrigerant liquid.

A minimum operating pressure ratio of 1.5 is required to maintain adequate cooling of the compressor.
