GENERAL
During the cooling cycle, when the reversing valve solenoids
becomes energized, operation will be the same as any conven-
tional air conditioning system.
During the heating cycle, when the reversing valve solenoids
becomes de-energized, compressor discharge gas will be di-
verted to the indoor coil and the outdoor coil will become the
evaporator.
Refer to Figure 6 for illustration showing the flow of refrigerant
through a heat pump system.
CAUTION: Reversing valves and check valves are precise
mechanical devices and will not tolerate any me-
chanical abuse such as hammering. If a refrigerant
system isn't properly cleaned after a compressor
burn-out, scale may build up at these devices and
prevent them from operating properly.
SYSTEM SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The following sequences of operation are based on using the
manual changeover thermostat. Refer to the respective unit
wiring diagram.
COOLING OPERATION
1.
The following controls will be energized through terminal O
on the thermostat to put the system in the cooling mode.
•
Relays RY3, RY4, RY5, and RY6
2.
If the fan switch on the thermostat is in the “ON” position, in-
door section blower motor contactor 10M will be energized
through terminal G to provide continuous blower operation.
If the switch is in the “AUTO” position, the blower will oper-
ate only when the thermostat calls for cooling operation.
3. When TC1 of the thermostat closes on demand for cooling,
a circuit is made from the Y terminal on DC1 and DC2
