HEATING CYCLE
1. Hot gas from compressor flows through the 4-way valve and is
directed to the indoor coil. It is then condensed directed through
subcooling circuits and out to the strainer and the check valve in
the heating liquid line.
2. The refrigerant then feeds the outdoor coil through the Acutrol
metering device on each circuit.
3. Each circuit evaporates the refrigerant and the circuits are com-
bined in the outdoor header with some of the circuits flowing through
the check valve.
4. The refrigerant then flows through the 4-way valve, accumulator,
and back to the compressor.
