Does not operate

 

=

 

 

(at outside air temp. > -10°C (14°F))

 

 

 

=

 

 

 

Outdoor heat exchanger temp. < Outside air temp.

 

 

 

=

Integrating defrost

Compressor integrating operation time

More than 240 minutes

More than 213 minutes

Less than 10 minutes

(For continuous operation)

(For continuous operation)

( For intermittent operation )

Outdoor heat exchanger

Outdoor heat exchanger

OFF count of the compressor

temperature below -3°C (-6°F)

temperature below -5°C (-10°F)

40 times

 

 

 

If the compressor continuous operation time is less than 10 minutes, the OFF number of the compressor is counted.

If any defrost operated, the compressor OFF count is cleared.

2. CONDITION OF THE DEFROST OPERATION COMPLETION

Defrost operation is released when the conditions become as shown in Table 19. (Table 19 : Defrost Release Condition)
