    摘要: A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system is disclosed. The HVACR system includes a refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator fluidly connected. A controller is electronically connected to the compressor. The controller is configured to prevent the compressor from operating at a speed that is less than a minimum speed limit. A lubricant separator has an inlet fluidly connected between the compressor and the condenser and a plurality of outlets. A first of the plurality of outlets is fluidly connected to the condenser. A second of the plurality of outlets is fluidly connected to one or more components of the compressor to provide a lubricant to the one or more components.

    摘要: A heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system is disclosed. The HVACR system includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator fluidly connected to form a refrigerant circuit. A lubricant return line is fluidly connected to the compressor and to the evaporator. A pressure difference between the compressor and the evaporator induces a fluid flow of lubricant from the evaporator to the compressor.
