3.3 Defrosting Operation
The defrosting operation is performed to solve frost on the outdoor unit heat exchanger when
heating, and the heating capacity is recovered.
[Conditions to start]
The defrosting operation is started referring following conditions.
îš„
Outdoor heat exchanger heat transfer co-efficiency
îš„
Outdoor heat exchanger temperature (Tb)
îš„
Timer (2 hours at the minimum)
In addition, outdoor heat-exchange co-efficiency is derived from Tc, Te, and the compressor
load.
* From the preparation to the defrost operation, and from the defrost operation to the post
defrost operation, the compressor stops for 1 minute to reduce noise on changing of the four
way valve.
