Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vapor compression system includes a compressor configured to circulate a refrigerant through a refrigerant loop, a sump configured to receive a mixture of lubricant and the refrigerant from the compressor, and a controller having a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a temperature of the mixture within the sump, receive a second signal indicative of a pressure of the mixture within the sump, determine a relative amount of the refrigerant in the mixture based on the first signal and the second signal, and output a control signal in response to the relative amount of the refrigerant in the mixture exceeding a threshold value.
