  • Page 19: Terminal Block

    COMPONENTS Terminal Block Compressor The compressor is a three phase DC inverter driven rotary type, capable of variable speed operation. The compressor operating frequency will be determined by the temperature difference between set point and room The outdoor unit is powered by 208/230 volt single phase electricity temperature.
  • Page 20: Temperature Sensors

    COMPONENTS 4-Way Valve Temperature Sensors These 3 sensors are part of an assembly and will all be changed together. Discharge Temperature Sensor The Discharge Temperature Sensor is a negative coeffıcient thermistor that senses the temperature of the compressor hot gas. The PCB monitors the temperature of the compressor hot gas and will make inverter speed The 4-Way Valve redirects the flow of refrigerant in the piping circuit to changes in response to input from this device.
  • Page 21: Accumulator

    COMPONENTS Accumulator The Accumulator is located in the suction line circuit at the entrance to the compressor. The accumulator helps prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor during run operation. Refrigerant Strainers The system has debris-catching strainers that protect internal system components from contaminants in the refrigerant.
