Low Pressure Check
Referring to the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) shown below, probe the defective points.
Notes:
∗
1: For details of compressor capacity control while in cooling, refer to Compressor PI control.
∗
2: The low pressure protection control includes low pressure protection control and hot gas bypass
control.
∗
3: In cooling, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve is used for superheated degree control.
∗
4: In heating, the outdoor unit electronic expansion valve is used for superheated degree control of
outdoor unit heat exchanger.
