4. Capacity
control
1) The indoor units from A to D determine the respective instruction revolutions from the difference between
the remote controller setting temperature (Ts) and the indoor temperature (Ta), and transmit this to the
outdoor unit.
2) The outdoor unit receives the instructions from the indoor units, and the inverter operates the compressor
at the calculated revolutions.
3) The compressor operation range in each operating mode is shown in the left table.
5. Current
release
control
This function prevents troubles on the electronic parts of the
compressor driving inverter.
This function also controls drive circuit of the compressor speed so
that electric power of the compressor drive circuit does not exceed
the specified value.
1) The input current of the outdoor unit
is detected in the inverter section of
the outdoor unit.
2) According to the detected outdoor
temperature, the specified value of
the current is selected.
3) Whether the current value exceeds
the specified value or not is judged.
4) If the current value exceeds the
specified value, this function reduces
the compressor speed and controls
speed up to the closest one
commanded from the indoor unit
within the range which does not
exceed the specified value.
