Low Temperature Lockouts
Some manufacturers of heat pumps have previously controlled
their units so the compressor was locked out below a specified
outdoor temperature. This was done because of the stress
placed on the compressor b
the very cold temperatures, and
the fact that efficiency drops off at low temperatures.
Other manufacturers sa
that although efficiency is low at cold
temperatures, the problem of starting the cold compressor is
the most critical point. It is more important to keep the
compressor runnin
than to shut it off and try to restart it when
the temperature warms up to +10°F (-12°C). Also the
crankcase heater, which can run onl

NOTE: To determine the COP of a heat pump, use the fol-

Another factor favoring this control strategy is that newer heat

Crankcase Heat
In any mechanical refrigeration system, refrigerant tends to
migrate to the coldest part of the equipment and condense
there. In a heat pump, this coldest spot could be the compressor
because it is usuall
outdoors. In addition, the oil in the com-
pressor crankcase is capable of absorbing a high concentration
erant. On compressor startup, there are two risks: (1) the
of refri
uid refrigerant, which is noncompressible, can be drawn into
li
the cylinder, and (2) considerable oil can be entrained in the
erant and swept out of the crankcase through the
refri
eover valve and dispersed in the piping and coils.
chan
So the mi
because it can interfere with s
ration of refrigerant to the crankcase is undesirable
stem lubrication and because the
liquid refrigerant must be kept from going through the compressor.
Addin
a crankcase heater creates enough temperature
differential to prevent this migration because the compressor
is no lon
not mi
er the coldest part of the system so refrigerant does
rate to it.
Compressor Fault Relay
Another very simple method of detecting a compressor failure
has been developed. It uses the volta
capacitor in a permanent split capacitor compressor motor.
The principle involved is that virtuall
reduce the volta
e across the motor capacitor. By carefully
selecting the correct coil voltage, the normally closed relay
does not pull in unless the proper volta
