Abstract
A thermally responsive valve establishes a discharge to suction bleed responsive to the actuation of a thermal actuator. The thermal actuator is responsive to the temperature of the floor of the fixed scroll in a region near the outlet so that the actuator is responsive to local conditions indicative of impending failure.
