CHECK 11
Check for overcharge of refrigerant.
In case of VRV Systems, the only way to judge as the overcharge of refrigerant is with operating
conditions due to the relationship to pressure control and electronic expansion valve control.
As information for making a judgement, refer to information provided below.
Diagnosis of overcharge of refrigerant
1. High pressure rises. Consequently, overload control is exercised to cause scant cooling
2. The superheated degree of suction gas lowers (or the wet operation is performed).
3. The subcooling degree of condensate rises. Consequently, in heating operation, the

Consequently, the compressor becomes lower in discharge pipe temperature despite of
