At very low ambient temperatures, the compressor may operate with a higher compression ratio, which affects the discharge temperature.

What is the discharge temperature

It is the temperature of the refrigerant immediately after the compressor.

Why does it increase

A larger pressure difference and high required water temperature increase the thermal load of the compressor.

Why is it monitored

Excessively high temperature can affect the oil, insulation, and long-term reliability.

Control

The controller can limit compressor frequency or supply temperature for protection.
