ABSTRACT:
A method of regulating startup operation of a vapor compression refrigeration system to prevent oil pump cavitation during startup of the refrigeration system is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring the rate of decrease in evaporator pressure or temperature or monitoring compressor suction line pressure and then comparing this monitored rate to a rate of pressure or temperature decrease which is predetermined to prevent oil pump cavitation. If the monitored rate exceeds the predetermined rate control action is taken to adjust the capacity of the compressor to provide a desired rate of pressure drop which prevents oil pump cavitation. A microprocessor control system and a mechanical control system are disclosed for carrying out the disclosed method.
