Compressor Operation:
Cooling Mode
Once the ambient temperature rises past the cool demand threshold (Cool Set Point + 1.5 ˚F) (see gure below), and
the compressor is not locked out, the cooling cycle begins. As shown in the gure below, the fan is started 5 seconds
prior to the compressor. Once the ambient temperature has been lowered to the cool set point (Cool Set Point minus
.25 ˚F), the cooling cycle starts to terminate by shutting off the compressor. After a 30 seconds delay, the fan is shut
off. (See gure below for graphic details)
The reversing valve only changes when required
to provide cooling or heat pump. The RV valve
stays in it's last state until required to change.
