1.10 4-way Valve Control
Purpose
The purpose of the 4-way valve control is to control how the superheated refrigerant passes
through the 4-way valve. The 4-way valve control carries out the changeover switching of the 4-
way valve. This changeover switching is only carried out during operation, because a certain
pressure difference is required to move the internal cylinder.
