Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided and include a compressor for a refrigeration system and a duct assembly that includes a duct frame and a sensor unit. The duct frame provides a path for evaporating refrigerant from a lubricant sump of the compressor. The sensor unit obtains temperature measurements of the refrigerant and a lubricant within the lubricant sump and heats and evaporates the refrigerant located within the duct frame of the duct assembly. A control module receives temperature measurements from the sensor unit, determines a presence of liquid refrigerant within the lubricant sump of the compressor in response to a determination that an actual temperature change does not correspond with an expected temperature change for the lubricant, and in response to a determination that the actual temperature change corresponds with the expected temperature change for the lubricant, operates the compressor.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the control module is configured to:\n in response to a heating period elapsing, (i) discontinue supplying the heat signal to the sensor unit, and (ii) supply a measurement signal to the sensor unit; and receive the temperature measurements from the sensor unit based on the measurement signal.
