[Conditions to start]
The defrost operation is started referring following conditions.
Outdoor heat exchanger heat transfer co-efficient
Temperature of heat-exchange (Tb) < T
def
*
Timer (25 min. the minimum)
In addition, outdoor heat-exchanger co-efficient is derived from Tc, Te, and the compressor
load.
*T
def
can vary but is at least -10°C
[Fan defrosting]
When compressor stops, 80 sec. at low RPM
At start up compressor, 30 sec. at 950 RPM (step 9)
