7. Quick heating
control
Operation flow and applicable data, etc.
This function quickens the starting of heating opera-
tion when indoor/outdoor temperature is low.
(Available only in heating operation)
When indoor temperature is low, this function stores
the heat by heating winding depended on the outdoor
temperature and then it enables the hot air blowing
out quickly.
Description
When the following conditions are
satisfied, winding is heated by output
varied by the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature.
Condition 1 :
The previous operation was heating.
Condition 2 :
2 hours passed after operation stop.
Condition 3 :
The room temperature is 20°C or lower.
The indoor temperature sensor detects
the room temperature.
If the detected room temperature is 20°C
or lower, the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature sensor detects the outdoor
heat exchanger temperature. As shown in
the left figure, winding of the compressor
is heated for each division of the tempera-
ture (
for each outdoor temperature) and
the heat is stored.
8. 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)
<Defrost operation>
• Defrost operation in A to C zones
1) Stop operation of the compressor for
20 seconds.
2) Invert (ON) 4-way valve 10 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.
2) Temperature of outdoor heat exchanger
is kept at +5°C or higher for 80 seconds.
3) Defrost operation continues for
15 minutes.
<Returning from defrost operation>
1) Stop operation of the compressor for
approx. 50 seconds.
2) Invert (OFF) 4-way valve approx. 40
seconds after stop of the compressor.
3) The outdoor fan starts rotating at the
same time when the compressor starts.
