  • Page 8 PRODUCT DESIGN The compressor increases the pressure of the gas, thus adding more heat, and discharges hot, high pressure super- heated gas into the outdoor condenser coil. In the condenser coil, the hot refrigerant gas, being warmer than the outdoor air, first loses its superheat by heat trans- ferred from the gas through the tubes and fins of the coil.
  • Page 9: System Operation

    SYSTEM OPERATION COOLING CYCLE When the indoor unit calls for cool, the COMP (PURPLE) wire connected to power by the indoor unit. The outdoor relay closes, energizing the contactor of the outdoor unit which starts both the compressor and the outdoor fan. When the indoor is satisfied, it disconnects power to the COMP (PURPLE) and the outdoor unit shuts down.
