5-2-9 Refrigerant Recovery Control
Refrigerant recovery is performed for each BC port during heating operation to prevent the refrigerant from accumulating in-
side the units that are stopped (in the fan mode), in the cooling mode, or in the heating Thermo-OFF mode.
It is also performed during cooling operation to prevent an excessive amount of refrigerant from accumulating in the outdoor
heat exchanger.
Starting criteria for the refrigerant recovery cycle (during Cooling-only, Cooling-main, Heating-only, or Heating-main
mode)
The refrigerant recovery mode starts when all of the following conditions are met:
1) When 5 minutes have passed in the Heating-only or Heating-main mode or 30 seconds have passed in the Cooling-only or
Cooling-main mode since the completion of the previous refrigerant recovery cycle AND the when following conditions are
met.
TH4 > 105°C [221°F]
2) When the port is not in the 4-minute restart delay mode
Starting criteria for the refrigerant recovery cycle (during Cooling-only, Cooling-main, Heating-only, or Heating-main
mode)
1) When the port is in the cooling Thermo-OFF, fan, or stop mode
SVC at the port turns on for 30 seconds.
2) The opening of LEV1 and LEV3 is increased.
5-2-10 Outdoor Unit Fan Control
(1) Control method

Depending on the capacity required, the rotation speed of the outdoor unit fan is controlled by the inverter to keep a constant
condensing temperature of (outside tempe10°C [50°F]) during cooling operation and a constant evaporation temper-
ature of (0°C [32°F] =0.71 <Pa [103psi]) during heating operation.

The OS in the multiple-outdoor-unit system operates at the actual outdoor unit fan control value that is calculated by the OS
based on the preliminary outdoor unit fan control value that the OC determines.
(2) Control

Outdoor unit fan stops while the compressor is stopped (except in the presence of input from snow sensor).

The fan operates at full speed for 5 seconds after start-up.(Only when TH7<0°C [32°F])

The outdoor unit fan stops during defrost operation.

On the P400, (E)P450,and (E)P500 models of outdoor units, before the second fan goes into operation, the capacity of the
first fan is reduced to 50%.
