PID control
Proportional Integral Derivative control with an automatic capacity balancing circuit:
– enables the use of lengthy piping up to 100 meters (actual length)
– consists of two control systems:
1 Oil control system that controls the refrigerant oil volume to prevent it from raising or backing up in the pipes
2 Refrigerant flow stabilization mechanism: prevents refrigerant drift, caused by level difference of indoor units in the same system.

Operation control of small capacity indoor units
If the operating frequency is minimal, the refrigerant pressure and outdoor temperature are detected, the number of control steps are calculated, and
capacity of outdoor unit heat exchanger (refrigerant accumulates in coils) and air flow of outdoor unit fans (controls pole change of the two fans) are
controlled.
If operating a small-capacity indoor unit, the bypass valve is controlled (ON/OFF), with capacity control being executed at a minimum of 14% for a 5HP
outdoor unit (when operating one 20-class indoor unit), or a minimum of 8% for 8 and 10HP outdoor units (when operating one 20-class indoor unit.
