Compressor assembly with liquid sensor

A compressor may include a shell, a compression mechanism, first and second temperature sensors, and a control module. The shell may define a lubricant sump. The compression mechanism may be disposed within the shell and may be operable to compress a working fluid. The first temperature sensor may b...

Zusammenfassung:A compressor may include a shell, a compression mechanism, first and second temperature sensors, and a control module. The shell may define a lubricant sump. The compression mechanism may be disposed within the shell and may be operable to compress a working fluid. The first temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a first position. The second temperature sensor may be at least partially disposed within the shell at a second position that is vertically higher than the first position. The control module may be in communication with the first and second temperature sensors and the pressure sensor and may determine whether a liquid level in the lubricant sump is below a predetermined level based on data received from the first and second temperature sensors. 种压缩机,该压缩机可以包括壳体、压缩机构、第温度传感器、第二温度传感器以及控制模块。壳体可以限定润滑剂池。压缩机构布置在壳体内并可以可操作成压缩工作流体。第温度传感器可以至少部分地布置在壳体内的第位置处。第二温度传感器可以至少部分地布置在壳体内的第二位置处,所述第二位置在垂直方向上高于所述第位置。控制模块可以与第温度传感器和第二温度传感器以及压力传感器进行通信,并且可以基于从第温度传感器和第二温度传感器接收的数据来确定润滑剂池中的液位是否在预定水
