6-4. Temperature Detection Circuit
The Over heat thermistor circuit detects the temperature at the surface of the compressor head, the Defrost.
thermistor circuit detects the defrosting operation temperature.
A thermistor is a negative
negativ
negativ resistor element which has the characteristics that the higher (lower) the temperature,
the lower (higher) the resistance.
When the compressor is heated, the resistance of the Over heat thermistor becomes low and voltage to a

microcomputer judges that the compressor is overheated and stops operation.
When frost forms on the outdoor heat exchanger, the temperature at the exchanger drops abruptly.

6-5. Reversing valve control circuit
●
In this unit, reversing valve control circuit turns ON/OFF the power to the reversing valve coil by
opening/closing the reversing valve relay.
●
Opening/closing of relay will differ depending on the operation condition. (In the cooling cycle,
reversing valve relay is normally ON (close).)
●
Table 6-3 shows the circuit operation of each operation mode. If the following result is not obtained,
reversing valve control circuit may be defective.
