Method of Gas shortage detection I :
A gas shortage is detected by checking the power consumption value and the compressor
Malfunction
running frequency.
Detection
Gas shortage detection II :
A gas shortage is detected by checking the difference between indoor unit heat exchanger
temperature and room temperature as well as the difference between outdoor unit heat
exchanger temperature and room temperature.
Malfunction Gas shortage detection I :
Power consumption < 1862 / 256 (A/Hz) × Compressor running frequency + (-18)
Decision
However, when the status of running frequency > 61 (Hz) is kept on for a certain time.
Conditions
Note : The values are different from model to model.
Gas shortage detection II :
When the condition of the following 1-3 continued for a certain time.
1. During discharge pipe temperature control
2. Discharge pipe temp. > (255 / 256) × target discharge pipe temp. +20
3. Electronic expansion valve opening (the biggest value among operating units)
If a gas shortage error takes place 4 times successively, the system will be shut down. The error
counter will reset itself if this or any other error does not occur during the following 60-minute
compressor running time (total time).
