Abstract
An example method of controlling a component of a climate control system includes discharging a multiphase fluid from a condenser of the climate control system. In addition, the method includes flowing the multiphase fluid though a conduit that is downstream of the condenser, the multiphase fluid including a liquid portion and a gas portion and diverting a portion of the multiphase fluid out of the conduit and into a receptacle. Further, the method includes determining a parameter of the multiphase fluid in the receptacle, the parameter corresponding to a composition of the liquid portion and the gas portion of the multiphase fluid. Still further, the method includes controlling the component of the climate control system based at least in part on the parameter.
