Freeze prevention
During COOL or DRY operation, freezing is detected and
operation is stopped when the temperature of the indoor heat
exchanger matches the conditions below.
1.
Freeze-prevention operation is engaged when the
temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is below 43°F(6°C).
2.
Restart after freeze-prevention operation occurs when the
temperature of the indoor heat exchanger reaches 46°F(8°C)
or above.
a.
Area: Automatic capacity control
b.
When the temperature drops below Point A, the operation
frequency is reduced by a certain proportion.
c.
Area: Frequency increase is prohibited.
d.
When the temperature reaches Point C or above, freezing
prevention is ended and control is the same as in the
a
area.
* When the temperature drops to below 36°F(2°C)
(continuously for 2 minutes or longer), the compressor stops.
Once the freeze condition is detected, the air conditioner will
work less than the maximum frequency until it is turned off.
