For example, if the temperature set point is 20°C when cool mode is entered at a room temperature of 21°C, the controller will start the cool mode cycle to cool the room.

The cycle still continues when the room temperature later lowers to 20°C. It finally stops when the room temperature lowers further to 19°C.

If the room temperature subsequently rises to 20°C again, the cool mode cycle will still not start. The cool mode cycle will only start when the room temperature rises further to 21°C.

In heat mode (applicable on Heat Pump Unit only), the heat mode cycle starts and stops according to the following rules:

Room temperature

< Set pt-1°C

= Set pt-1°C

= Set pt.

= Set pt+1°C

> Set pt+1°C

For example, if the temperature set point is 20°C when heat mode is entered at a room temperature of 19°C, the heat mode cycle will start to raise the room temperature.

The cycle still continues when the room temperature later rises to 20°C, and eventually stops when the room temperature raises further to 21°C.

If the room temperature subsequently falls to 20°C again, the cycle will still not start. The heat mode cycle will only start when the room temperature descents further to 19°C.

5.Indoor Coil Protection Against Icing in Cool Mode

After switching on the compressor for 10 minutes in cool mode, the electronic air-con controller will detect the indoor coil temperature. If indoor coil temperature <6°C, the indoor fan will operate in accordance with the following table:

ID Coil Temp. Tr

Tr ≤ 4 °C

4°C<Tr<°6C

Tr≥6°C

ID Fan

*Maintain current State

Indoor coil de-icing will be executed if indoor coil temperature is found to be less than 2ºC for 2 minutes. De-icing operation will stop if the indoor coil temperature reaches 10ºC or higher for 2 minutes. If not, it will be end de-icing operation after 10 minutes. While the indoor coil is being de-iced, the green LED on the LED board will blink at approximately 95 times per minute.

To de-ice the indoor coil, the air-con controller discontinue cooling it by turning off the compressor and outdoor fan. At the mean time, the indoor fan is left running at its set speed to speed up the ice-melting process via convection.

Normal cool mode operation will be maintained at its current state for the initial 3 minutes of de-icing operation. After this, the compressor and outdoor fan will be switched off.

R407C specifications

Fedders R407C is a commonly used refrigerant that has made significant strides in the air conditioning and refrigeration industries. Developed as a replacement for R22, R407C blends three refrigerants: R32, R125, and R134a. This combination gives it versatile applications and makes it a popular choice in residential and commercial systems.

One of the main features of R407C is its zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). This is crucial in an era where environmental regulations are stricter and focus on reducing substances that could harm the ozone layer. R407C also boasts a relatively low global warming potential (GWP) compared to other refrigerants, which aligns with the growing demand for low-impact environmentally friendly solutions.

Technologically, R407C is compatible with many existing systems, particularly those designed for R22, making it a favored transitional refrigerant during the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances. However, it is vital to note that R407C operates at a higher pressure than R22, meaning that certain system components may need upgrading to ensure optimal performance and safety.

In terms of thermodynamic characteristics, R407C has a refrigerating effect similar to R22, making it efficient for cooling purposes across various applications. It has good heat transfer properties, which translates to efficient energy use in both residential and commercial installations. The refrigerant operates effectively across a broad temperature range, making it an ideal choice for air conditioners, heat pumps, and chillers.

Moreover, R407C is a near-azeotropic blend, which implies that it maintains its composition during evaporation and condensation. This characteristic helps in minimizing the risks of refrigerant fractionation, allowing for consistent performance over time.

Another noteworthy aspect of Fedders R407C is its favorable safety profile. It has a lower toxicity level compared to some other refrigerants, which enhances its suitability for varied applications. Additionally, it is non-flammable under normal conditions, making it a safe option for different installations.

In conclusion, Fedders R407C is characterized by its environmental safety, excellent thermodynamic qualities, and compatibility with existing refrigeration systems. As industries strive to meet new environmental regulations, R407C serves as a reliable option, providing performance without compromising on ecological concerns. Its pivotal role in transitioning to greener alternatives makes it a critical refrigerant in today’s climate-conscious market.
