7.35 Check for Outdoor Unit
7.35.1 Check for Causes of Rise in High Pressure
Check No.01
Referring to the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) shown below, probe the faulty points.
A temperature
difference in excess of
10
°
C between the inlet
and the outlet is
deemed to be
abnormal.
Short-circuit
Rise in high
pressure
Local
pressure
rise
High pipe
resistance
Stop valve closed
Bent or crashed pipe
Clogging of foreign
particles
←
Check to be sure the stop valve is open.
←
Conduct visual checks for pipe conditions.
←
Is there any temperature difference caused
before and after the filter or branch pipe.
[In cooling]
If the outdoor unit electronic
expansion valve is throttled:

normal?
←
Is the pressure value checked with the
Service Checker corresponding to the
measurement of the pressure sensor?
[In cooling]
High suction

temperature
of the
condenser
[In heating]
High suction air
temperature
of outdoor unit
Short-circuit
High ambient
temperature
←
Is the suction air temperature not more than
46
°
C?
←
Is the outdoor temperature not more than
46
°
C?
High suction
air temperature
of indoor unit
High ambient
temperature
←
Is the suction air temperature not more than
27
°
C?
←
Is the indoor temperature not more than
27

Faulty suction air thermistor of indoor unit
High suction air temperature of outdoor unit
Faulty outdoor temperature thermistor of outdoor unit
←
Is the connector properly connected?
Are the thermistor resistance characteristics normal?
←
Is the outdoor temperature not more than 16
°
CWB?
←
Is the connector properly connected?
Are the thermistor resistance characteristics normal?
Dirty condenser
Mixing of non-condensable gas
←
Is the heat exchanger clogged? (In cooling)
←
Is air or else mixed in the refrigerant system?
Decreased
fan airflow
rate
←
Can the fan motor be rotated with hands?
Are the motor coil resistance and
insulation normal?
←
If a spare PCB is mounted, is the capacity
setting properly made?
Faulty control
PCB
(Including
capacity setting)
High air
passage
resistance
Dirty filter
←
Is the air filter clogged?
Obstacle
←
Is there any obstacle in the air passage?
Excessive refrigerant charging
Improper model selection
[In heating]
←
Refer to troubleshooting "
F6
".
←
Is the indoor unit too small compared to
the large-sized outdoor unit?
*1: In cooling, it is normal if the outdoor unit electronic expansion valve (Y1E) is fully open.
*2: In heating, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve is used for “subcooled degree control”.
(For details, refer to “Electronic Expansion Valve Control”.)
