Description
7. Defrost control
(Only in heating
operation)
(This function removes frost adhered to the outdoor
heat exchanger.)
The temperature sensor of the outdoor heat ex-
changer (Te sensor) judges the frosting status of the
outdoor heat exchanger and the defrost operation is
performed with 4-way valve reverse defrost system.
The necessity of defrost operation is
detected by the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature. The conditions to detect the
necessity of defrost operation differ in A,
B, or C zone each. (Table 1)
<Returning from defrost operation>
1) Stop operation of the compressor for
approx. 40 seconds.
2) Invert (ON) 4-way valve approx. 30
seconds after stop of the compressor.
3) The outdoor fan starts rotating at the
same time when the compressor starts.
<Defrost operation>
• Defrost operation in A to C zones
1) Stop operation of the compressor for
40 seconds.
2) Invert (OFF) 4-way valve 40 seconds
after stop of the compressor.
3) The outdoor fan stops at the same time
when the compressor stops.
4) When temperature of the indoor heat
exchanger becomes 38°C or lower,
stop the indoor fan.
<Finish of defrost operation>
• Returning conditions from defrost
operation to heating operation
1) Temperature of outdoor heat exchanger
rises to +8°C or higher for 3 seconds.
2) Temperature of outdoor heat exchanger
is kept at +7°C or higher for 60 seconds.
3) Defrost operation continues for
10 minutes.
