(10) Refrigerant recovery control
Refrigerant recovery is conducted to prevent refrigerant from accumulating in the stopped unit (fan unit), the unit under
cooling mode and that with heating thermostat being turned off.
1) Start of refrigerant recovery
1
Refrigerant recovery is started when the two items below are fully satisfied.
• 30 minutes has passed after finishing refrigerant recovery.
• The level detector detects AL = 0 for 3 minutes continuously, or the discharge SH is high.
2) Refrigerant recovery operation
• Refrigerant is recovered by opening LEV of the objective indoor units (indoor units under stop. fan, and cooling
modes, and that with heating thermostat being turned off) for 30 seconds.
• The regular capacity control of the outdoor unit and the regular LEV control of the indoor unit are not applied during
refrigerant recovery operation, but are fixed with the value before the recovery operation. These controls will be
conducted one minute after finishing the recovery operation.
• Defrosting operation is prohibited during the recovery operation, and it will be conducted after finishing the recovery
operation
(11) Outdoor unit heat exchanger capacity control
1) Control method
• In order to stabilize the evaporation temperature during cooling and the high-pressure pressure during heating that
are required in response to performance needs, the capacity of the outdoor heat exchanger is controlled by regulat-
ing the fan volume of the outdoor unit by phase control and controlling the number of fans and by using the solenoid
valves.
2) Control
• When both of the compressors are stopped, the fans for the outdoor units are also stopped.
• The fans operate at full speed for 10 seconds after starting.
• The fans for the outdoor unit are stopped during defrosting.
3) Capacity control pattern
Note 1: When there is conductivity at SV5b, it is open. When there is no conductivity at SV5b, it is closed.
Note 2: When the unit is stopped, and SV5b are open.
