frequency. If the refrigerant is short, the input current is smaller than the normal value.
Detection
Refrigerant shortage detection II :
Refrigerant shortage is detected by checking the discharge pipe temperature and the opening of
the outdoor electronic expansion valve. If the refrigerant is short, the discharge pipe
temperature tends to rise.
