(10) Refrigerant recovery control
Refrigerant recovery is conducted to prevent refrigerant from accumulating in the stopped unit (fan unit), the unit under
cooling mode and that with heating thermostat being turned off.
1) Start of refrigerant recovery
1 Refrigerant recovery is started when the two items below are fully satisfied.
• 30 minutes has passed after finishing refrigerant recovery.
• The level detector detects AL = 0 for 3 minutes continuously, or the discharge SH is high.
2) Refrigerant recovery operation
• Refrigerant is recovered by opening LEV of the objective indoor units (indoor units under stop. fan, and
modes, and that with heating thermostat being turned off) for 30 seconds.

(Indoor unit LEV opening 500 pulse)
• The regular capacity control of the outdoor unit and the regular LEV control of the indoor unit are not applied
during refrigerant recovery operation, but are fixed with the value before the recovery operation. These
controls will be conducted one minute after finishing the recovery operation.
• Defrosting operation is prohibited during the recovery operation, and it will be conducted after finishing
the recovery operation.
(11) Outdoor unit heat exchanger capacity control
1) Control method
• In order to stabilize the evaporation temperature during cooling and the high-pressure pressure during heating
are required in response to performance needs, the capacity of the outdoor heat exchanger is controlled by
that
regulating the fan volume of the outdoor unit by phase control and controlling the number of fans and by using
the solenoid
valves to vary the number of out door heat exchangers being used.
2) Control
• When both of the compressors are stopped, the fans for the outdoor units are also
• The fans operate at full speed for 5 seconds after starting.
• The fans for the outdoor unit are stopped during defrosting.

Note 1: When there is conductivity at SV5b and SV8, it is closed. When there is no conductivity at SV5b and
SV8, it is open.
Note 2: When there is conductivity at SV7, it is open. When there is no conductivity at SV7, it is closed.
Note 3: When the unit is stopped, and SV5b and SV8 are open. SV7 is close.
