1. Main Functions
1.1
Frequency Principle
The compressor is frequency-controlled during normal operation. The target frequency is set by the
Main Control
following 2 parameters coming from the operating indoor unit:
Parameters
The load condition of the operating indoor unit
The difference between the room temperature and the set temperature
Additional
The target frequency is adapted by additional parameters in the following cases:
Frequency restrictions
Control
Initial settings
Parameters
Forced cooling operation
Inverter Principle
To regulate the capacity, a frequency control is needed. The inverter makes it possible to vary the
rotation speed of the compressor. The following table explains the conversion principle:

The supplied AC power source is converted into a DC power source.
The DC power source is reconverted into a three-phase AC power source with variable

frequency.
When the frequency increases, the rotation speed of the compressor increases resulting
in increased refrigerant circulation. This leads to a higher amount of heat exchange per
unit.
When the frequency decreases, the rotation speed of the compressor decreases
resulting in decreased refrigerant circulation. This leads to a lower amount of heat
exchange per unit.
