Working Principle of Air Conditioner Unit ● Working Principle of HOME-GMV outdoor unit system Electronic magnetic valve "A" Variable frequency motor Filter Filter Heat exchanger One-way valve ERG cooler One-way valve 4-way Valve "A" Capillary HV sensor Solenoid By-pass air capillary valve "B"...
When working under heating mode, the 4-way valve AB will be activated, so that the refrigerant will circulate in reverse to the cooling process. The refrigerant gives out heats in indoor heat exchanger (Under specific conditions, the electric heating elements will start to work and give out heats). In the outdoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant will absorb heat to perform heat pump heating cycle, so as to achieve the purpose of heating.
