The only sure solution to avoiding migration is to get rid of all the refrigerant in the evaporator, suction line, and crankcase before the off cycle. This can be accomplished by an automatic pumpdown system. In such a system, a thermostat controlling box temperature is wired in series with a liquid line solenoid.
How do you stop liquid slugging?
The single best device to protect the compressor from slugging and floodback is the suction line accumulator. Accumulators are most often found on low temperature systems, but all refrigeration systems can benefit from this relatively low-cost protective device.Must Read
What prevents liquid from entering the compressor?
SUCTION LINE ACCUMULATORS. Suction line accumulators are designed to protect the compressor when refrigerant flooding and/or migration do occur. They should be installed between the evaporator and the compressor on the suction line, usually as close to the compressor as possible.
