Claim 16:
17. A memory device of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system controller, wherein the memory device comprises computer-executable instructions stored thereon, and the computer-executable instructions, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to:
receive first data indicative of a first pressure within an evaporator;
receive second data indicative of a second pressure within a condenser;
determine a predicted energy level of operation of a compressor based on the first pressure and the second pressure, wherein operation of the compressor at the predicted energy level is expected to cause liquid droplet flow from the evaporator to the compressor;
determine an actual operating energy level of the compressor; and
control operation of the compressor based on a comparison of the predicted energy level and the actual operating energy level.
