Zusammenfassung:	A lubricant management system is provided. The lubricant management system may include a compressor, at least one sensor, and a controller. The compressor may include a lubricant sump, a driveshaft, and a bearing assembly. The compressor may circulate a refrigerant. The lubricant sump may be configured for containing a lubricant. The bearing assembly may be supported by the driveshaft. The at least one sensor may be configured to determine at least one operating condition of the compressor. The controller may be in communication with the at least one sensor to receive the at least one operating condition. The controller may be configured to determine a lubricant film thickness from the at least one operating condition and compare the lubricant film thickness to a threshold lubricant film thickness.
