The heater in the thermostat is connected in series with a thermistor sensor that measures outdoor temperature. See

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 off, compensates for the lower compressor efficienc
when the compressor is
. So, it is equitable to let the heat pump run even with a coefficient of performance
COP) slightly less than one, rather than to turn it
off and have to run the crankcase heater.
NOTE: To determine the COP of a heat pump, use the fol-
formula:
lowin
COP =
Btu Out/Btu we pay for or Btuh Capacit Unit Wattage x 3.413 Btu/Watt
Another factor favoring this control strategy is that newer heat pump desi
ns maintain a level of efficiency even at outdoor
temperatures well below zero. Some brands do not reach

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
