Electronic Expansion Valve PI Control

Main Electronic Expansion Valve EV1 Control
Carries out the electronic expansion valve (Y1E) PI control to maintain the evaporator outlet
superheated degree (SH) at constant during heating operation to make maximum use of the
outdoor unit heat exchanger (evaporator).
SH = Ts - Te
The optimum initial value of the evaporator outlet superheated degree is 5°C (9°F), but varies
depending on the discharge pipe superheated degree of inverter compressor.
Subcooling Electronic Expansion Valve EV2 Control
Makes PI control of the electronic expansion valve (Y2E) to keep the superheated degree
of the outlet gas pipe on the evaporator side for the full use of the subcooling heat exchanger.
SH = Tsh -Te
