Check of Density Limit 2. The standards for minimum room volume are as follows. (1) No partition (shaded portion) The room in which the air conditioner is to be installed requires a design that in the event of refrigerant gas leaking out, its density will not exceed a set limit.
3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 1. Introduction Control Functions The 3-WAY ECO-i is a system that allows multiple outdoor units to be connected. The outdoor units all contain inverter compressors, and the system does not utilize the sub units that were used in earlier systems. The outdoor unit where the unit No.
3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 2. Selecting Outdoor Unit for Operation Control Functions 2-1. Outdoor Unit Operating Rules Because in this system all outdoor units contain an inverter compressor, ordinarily there is no absolute order of priority for compressor operation. Therefore there is no order of priority for the outdoor units. However, it is possible to operate the outdoor units in sequence, beginning with unit No.

3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 3. Compressor Control Control Functions (3) Increasing/decreasing the heat exchanger capacity (when the outdoor unit heat exchanger is functioning as an evaporator) • Primarily when both the evaporation temperature (Te) and condensation temperature (Tc) are low This occurs when the cooling capacity (heat intake) is high and the heating capacity (heat discharge) is low. The outdoor heat exchanger capacity is increased, increasing the system evaporation capacity and raising the evaporation temperature (Te).

3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 6. Operation of Solenoid Valves Control Functions 6-1. Refrigerant Control Valve [RCV] The main purpose of this valve is to detect the flow of refrigerant (refrigerant volume) on the indoor-unit side when the outdoor unit heat exchanger is functioning as a condenser. When the valve determines that there are signs of a low refrigerant level, refrigerant is supplied from the receiver tank to the system.

3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 13. Discharge Temperature Control Functions <Alarm Information> (1) Discharge temperature protection alarm This device sets an upper limit discharge temperature of 105°C for all compressors. When the discharge tem- perature reaches 105°C, that compressor is stopped and restarted. If the same high discharge condition occurs 4 times, then an alarm occurs.
3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 14. Current Protection Control Functions (1) Fan motor Alarm Description Occurs when the fan motor detects overcurrent, or when the motor is locked and does not turn. (2) Inverter compressor Alarm Description Occurs during ordinary operation when overcurrent (32.5 A) is detected. Occurs under the same conditions as P16 when the inverter compressor is operating at or above 80 Hz.
3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 15. Low Oil Alarm Control Functions Ordinary operation is resumed after system oil recovery control is completed. If a stop occurs again as a result of a low oil level, this alarm occurs. This alarm will not occur if system oil recovery control has not already been performed.
3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 16. Pressure Sensor Failure Control Functions This system contains 2 types of pressure sensors: a high-pressure sensor and a low-pressure sensor. (1) High-pressure sensor failure Identification of a failure caused by a loose or displaced connector is based on the relationship between the pres- sure detected by the high-pressure sensor and the operation of the high-pressure switch, and on the relationship between the temperature detected by the high-pressure sensor and the various temperature thermistors.
3-WAY ECO-i SYSTEM 17. Backup Operation Control Functions <Field Application Functions> 17-1. Automatic Backup Operation This system includes a function for automatic backup operation.
