Abstract

A multi-split system and a method and device for adjusting an oil volume of a compressor of a multi-split system. The adjusting method comprises the following steps: recycling oil back to an oil storage tank by controlling a switch unit to turn on and an oil volume adjusting unit to turn off; when a continuous time over which the oil storage tank recycles oil reaches a first pre-set time (t1), controlling the switch unit to turn off and controlling a multi-split system to perform a test run; obtaining, according to a low-pressure piping pressure loss (P1) and a refrigerant flow (Q), a low-pressure piping pipe diameter (D) and a low-pressure refrigerant density (Den), an excess oil volume (Q2) that needs to be recycled, and obtaining, according to the excess oil volume and a maximum oil storage volume (Qz) of the oil storage tank, an oil volume to be expelled (Q3).
