An apparatus for staged startup of air-cooled low charged packaged ammonia refrigeration system includes motorized valves on condenser coil inlets, a main compressor discharge motorized valve, a bypass pressure regulator valve in the main compressor piping, check valves on the condenser outlets and speed control of the condenser fans. The condenser inlet motorized valves provide precise control of gas feed to the condensers, so pressure can build without collapsing the oil pressure. The motorized valve in the compressor discharge piping includes a bypass with a mechanical pressure regulator to allow precise regulation at the minimum discharge pressure. Once discharge pressure rises above the minimum setpoint, the condenser inlet solenoid coils open one at a time. The discharge pressure regulating motorized valve simultaneously regulate the discharge pressure until the condenser coil has warmed up enough to maintain discharge pressure.
