4 Startup Control
4.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control
In initial startup control, compressor startup is delayed for 12 minutes in order to let the outdoor unit search for the indoor
units’ addresses. In restart control (except in oil return operation and defrosting operation), compressor startup is delayed
such that a minimum of 7 minutes has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor
on/off and to equalize the pressure within the refrigerant system.
4.2 Startup Control for Cooling Operation
Table 3-4.1: Component control during startup in cooling mode
Control functions and states
Controlled according to load requirement,
operating frequency increased by 1 step / sec
Fan speed
1
controlled according to discharge
pressure (P
c
):
At initial speed for 90 seconds.
Subsequently, P
c
checked every 10
seconds:
P
c
≥ 2.7MPa => 1 step increase.
P
c
≤ 2.1MPa => 1 step decrease.
Electronic expansion
valve A
Position (steps) from 0 (fully closed) to 480 or
3000 (fully open), controlled according to
discharge temperature
Electronic expansion
valve C
Position (steps) from 0 (fully closed) to 480
(fully open), controlled according to
temperature different between plate heat
exchanger inlet and outlet
Solenoid valve (oil
balance)
Closed for 200 secs, open for 600 secs, then
closed

to pressure
Solenoid valve (indoor
units bypass)
Controlled according to load requirement
Solenoid valve
(inverter compressor A
vapor injection)
Controlled according to inverter compressor
A
Solenoid valve
(inverter compressor B
vapor injection)
Controlled according to inverter compressor
B
Solenoid valve
(inverter compressor B
pressure balance)
Open before compressor B startup
