<p>A compressor system with controlled lubricant reclaim includes a compressor circuit having a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator connected by refrigerant flow line; a lubricant circuit for circulating lubricant to the compressor; a reclaim vaporizer adapted to heat a refrigerant-lubricant mixture from the evaporator whereby the mixture is heated and lubricant and refrigerant are separated to provide reclaimed lubricant to the lubricant circuit and reclaimed refrigerant to the compressor circuit; and a control unit adapted to control flow of the mixture from the evaporator to the reclaim vaporizer based upon temperature of the mixture from the evaporator and temperature of reclaimed lubricant leaving the reclaim evaporator. Methods are also provided.</p> |
