Defrost detection and release

Reverse-Cycle Defrosting

Defrosting Sequence

Heating operation

Outdoor fan ON 4-way valve ON

Frost sensing

Defrost detection occurs in either of the following cases:

•The temperature of the heat exchanger remains at or below the L1 line for 3 minutes after the start of HEAT operation.

•The temperature of the heat exchanger remains at or below the L2 line for 120 minutes after the start of HEAT operation.

Outdoor heat

exchanger temp.

Ambient temp.

Frosting area

Reverse-cycle defrosting operation

Compressor 1 minute after it is stopped, compressor is ON.

Outdoor fan OFF

Indoor fan OFF

4-way valve OFF

Operation lamp Repeatedly switches between red and orange illumination.

Releasing of defrosting

Outdoor heating exchanger temp. is over 68°F(20°C).

Defrosting operation lasts 12 minutes (maximum). 2 minutes after it is stopped, compressor is ON.

4-way valve is ON. Outdoor fan is ON.

NOTE

If the air conditioner is turned off during the defrosting cycle, it will continue defrosting and turn itself off after defrosting is completed.

CT (Peak current cut-off control)

•This function prevents the circuit breaker or fuse from operating to open the circuit. This function works when electrical current

has increased due to an increase in the cooling / heating load, or to a decrease in the power supply voltage. In these cases, operation frequency is reduced or operation is interrupted auto- matically to control the electrical current for operation.

•When the cause of the increase in electrical current is rectified, the system will resume operation in the original mode.

CZ-18BT1U, CS-KE12NB41, CS-KE18NB4UW, CU-KE18NKU, CU-KE12NK1 specifications

The Panasonic CS-KE18NB4UW and CU-KE12NK1, along with the CS-KE12NB41, CZ-18BT1U, and CU-KE18NKU, represent a suite of advanced air conditioning solutions built with cutting-edge technologies designed to provide optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality in various settings.

One of the standout features of this lineup is the inverter technology. Inverter air conditioners adjust the compressor speed to maintain the desired temperature efficiently. This leads to significant energy savings compared to traditional air conditioners, which tend to frequently cycle on and off, consuming more power. By continuously regulating the temperature, the Panasonic units not only save electricity but also prolong the lifespan of the compressor.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the nanoe™ technology integrated into some of these models. Nanoe™ technology uses hydroxyl radicals to purify the air, minimizing harmful bacteria and allergens. This makes the Panasonic units particularly suitable for users with allergies or respiratory issues, providing a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

In terms of design, these models are sleek and compact, allowing them to fit seamlessly into any room decor, whether in a home, office, or commercial space. The quiet operation is another advantage, making them ideal for bedrooms and study areas where minimal noise is essential.

Furthermore, the CS-KE18NB4UW and CU-KE12NK1 offer a range of powerful cooling and heating capacities, making them versatile solutions for various climate conditions. The cold climate performance ensures consistent heating in colder regions, while the robust cooling capabilities make them perfect for hot summer months.

The user-friendly features include a smart remote control system, allowing users to adjust settings with ease from a distance. Some models are equipped with Wi-Fi capability, enabling integration with smart home systems for enhanced control and programmability.

In conclusion, the Panasonic CS-KE18NB4UW, CU-KE12NK1, CS-KE12NB41, CZ-18BT1U, and CU-KE18NKU air conditioning units exemplify innovation and efficiency. With their inverter technology, air purification features, compact designs, and smart functionalities, they stand out as ideal choices for maintaining comfortable and healthy indoor environments throughout the year.
