1.
SV2 gas balance control
This control function is aimed at achieving gas balance by opening SV2 while
compressors are turned off so as to reduce their startup load the next time they are
turned on.
1)
Control conditions
• In cooling, compressors have been turned off.
• In heating, the
outdoor
unit has been shut down.
2)
Control details
• The control point is changed according to P (P
D
pressure - P
S
pressure) registered
just before the compressors were turned off.
• When P
P1, SV2 is opened. When this results in P < P2, SV2 is closed.
• When P < P1, SV2 is closed.
2.
SV2 high pressure release control
This control function is aimed at mitigating pressure.
1)
Control conditions
•
Heating operation and cooling operation is in progress (except periods of defrosting
control).
2)
Control details
<Heating>
• When PD pressure becomes 3.4 MPa, SV2 is opened.
• When PD pressure becomes
<
2.8 MPa, SV2 is closed.
<Cooling>
• When PD pressure becomes
3.75 MPa, SV2 is opened.
• When PD pressure becomes
<
2.8 MPa, SV2 is closed.
3)
Termination conditions
<Heating>
• Shutdown, thermostat OFF, defrosting operation, or cooling operation.
<Cooling>
• Shutdown, thermostat OFF.
3.
SV2 low pressure release control
This control function is aimed at preventing a rapid fall in pressure during transient
operation.
The control is always provided except during periods of stoppage or
thermostat
OFF.
1)
Control details
• When P
S
pressure becomes 0.16 MPa, SV2 is opened.
• When P
S
pressure becomes > 0.20 MPa, SV2 is closed.
