A system and method for monitoring a floodback condition includes a compressor connected to a condenser, a discharge sensor that outputs a discharge temperature signal corresponding to a discharge temperature, and a control module connected to the discharge sensor. The control module receives compressor power data or compressor current data, determines a saturated condensing temperature based on the compressor power data or compressor current data, calculates a discharge superheat temperature based on the saturated condensing temperature and the discharge temperature, monitors a floodback condition of the compressor by comparing the discharge superheat temperature with a threshold, and, when the discharge superheat temperature is less than or equal to the threshold, increases the speed of the compressor or decreases an opening of an expansion valve associated with the compressor.

The system of claim 1 wherein the control module is configured to determine the saturated condensing temperature based on the compressor power data. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the control module is configured to determine the saturated condensing temperature based on the compressor current data. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the discharge sensor is external to the compressor. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein the discharge sensor is mounted on a discharge outlet of the compressor. 6. The system of claim 1 wherein the discharge sensor is internal to the compressor. 7. The system of claim 6 wherein the compressor is a scroll compressor having intermeshing scrolls and the discharge sensor senses a temperature of refrigerant exiting the intermeshing scrolls. 8. The system of claim 7 wherein the discharge sensor is located in an upper fixed scroll of the scroll compressor. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein the control module is configured to limit a speed range of the compressor when the discharge superheat temperature is less than or equal to the threshold. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the control module determines the saturated condensing temperature based on the speed of the compressor and the compressor power data by accessing compressor map data that correlates the compressor power data, compressor speed data, and condensing temperature data for the compressor. 11. A method comprising: receiving, with a control module, at least one of compressor power data and compressor current data of a compressor connected to a condenser;outputting, with a discharge sensor, a discharge temperature signal corresponding to a discharge temperature of refrigerant from the compressor;receiving, with the control module, the discharge temperature signal from the discharge sensor;determining, with the control module, a saturated condensing temperature based on a speed of the compressor and at least one of the compressor power data and the compressor current data;calculating, with the control module, a discharge superheat temperature based on the saturated condensing temperature and the discharge temperature;monitoring, with the control module, a floodback condition of the compressor by comparing the discharge superheat temperature with a threshold; andincreasing the speed of the compressor or decreasing an opening of an expansion valve, with the control module, when the discharge superheat temperature is less than or equal to the threshold. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the determining the saturated condensing temperature includes determining the saturated condensing temperature based on the compressor power data. 13. The method of claim 11 wherein the determining the saturated condensing temperature includes determining the saturated condensing temperature based on the compressor current data. 14.
