11 The system
produces
sounds.
Indoor unit
Immediately after turning ON
the power supply, indoor unit
produces ringing sounds.
These are operating sounds of the
electronic expansion valve of the
indoor unit. Normal operation.
This sound becomes low after a
lapse of approximately one minute.
Indoor and outdoor units
Hissing sounds are
continuously produced while in
cooling or defrosting operation.
These sounds are produced from
gas (refrigerant) flowing
respectively through the indoor and
outdoor units. Normal operation.
Indoor and outdoor units
Hissing sounds are produced
immediately after the startup or
stop of the system, or the
startup or stop of defrosting
operation.
These sounds are produced when
the gas (refrigerant) stops or
changes flowing. Normal operation.
Indoor unit

produced while in cooling
operation or after stopping the
operation.
These sounds are produced from
the drain discharge device in
operation. Normal operation.
Indoor unit

while in heating operation or
after stopping the operation.
These sounds are produced from
resin parts expanding and
contracting with temperature
changes. Normal operation.
Indoor unit
Sounds like trickling or the like
are produced from indoor units
in the stopped state.
On VRV systems, these sounds are
produced when other indoor units in
operation. The reason is that the
system runs in order to prevent oil
or refrigerant from dwelling.
Normal operation.
Outdoor unit
Pitch of operating sounds
changes.
The reason is that the compressor
changes the operating frequency. Normal operation.

stops. On VRV systems, small quantity of
refrigerant is fed to indoor units in
the stopped state when other indoor
units are in operation.
Normal operation.
