METHODS AND DEVICES TO PREVENT FLUID MIGRATION IN A REFRIGERATION SYSTEM DURING AN OFF CYCLE

摘要

Embodiments to prevent Off Cycle fluid migration in a refrigeration system are described. The embodiments described herein allow a fluid, such as oil from a crankcase sump of a compressor of the refrigeration system, to flow into an anti-fluid migration apparatus positioned in-line along a suction line of the refrigeration system. The fluid can be accumulated in the anti-fluid migration apparatus. The accumulated fluid may form a fluid flow barrier to prevent Off cycle refrigerant migration in the suction line.
