ABSTRACT:
A thermally protected heater element is located in an oil sump such that it is normally located beneath the surface of the oil whereby the oil is heated and acts as a heat sink relative to the heater element. If the oil level drops below the heater element, the thermal protection disables the heater element and the compressor whereby the location of the heater element defines the nominal minimum oil level.
