3.2.25 Oil Recovery Operation
When the compressor runs at low frequency for a long time, the failure of recovering oil may
cause the shortage of oil level. Therefore, the oil recovery operation is performed by increasing
the compressor operation frequency for five minutes.
∗
The more the unit operates at low frequency, the higher the frequency of oil recovery
operation becomes.
3.2.26 Defrost Operation
When in heating mode, a defrost operation will be conducted in order to avoid ice formation on
the outdoor unit heat exchanger.
Starting Conditions
Defrost will start when the following conditions have been realized:
Defrost conditions
Defrost upper limit A
Depending on the defrost start setting (field setting mode of the indoor unit remote controller),
frost upper limit time A becomes as shown in the table below.
&
• Integrated compressor running time is 25 minutes or more since the completion of the
previous defrost operation.
OR
• Defrost upper limit time A is met.
• Outdoor unit heat exchanger temperature is within the defrost request area.
