AUTO-FRESH DEFROST
During heating operation is stopped, and when auto-fresh condition is established, defrost operation will be performed while
operation is stopped.
Auto-fresh consists of balancing period at start of defrost for [TDF414] seconds
minutes.
(1)
Start conditions for auto-fresh
When all the following conditions are established, auto-fresh is executed:
1
Defrost request signal is present.
2
All indoor units are stopped.
3
15 minutes of auto-fresh inhibit period has elapsed.
4
Compressor is ON when operation is stopped.
5
Compressor delay command is sent from indoor unit when operation is stopped.
(2)
Release condition of auto-fresh
If any one of following conditions is established, auto-fresh is released:
Heat exchange temperature returns (heat exchange temperature ≥ DEFOFF)
1
2
12 minutes of defrost MAX time has elapsed.
3
Failure occurred.
4
Either unit 1 or unit 2 or unit 3 started operation.
Released during start of balancing period : Stopped or started after remaining balancing period has elapsed.
Released during reverse cycle period : Stopped or started after balancing for 3 minutes.
(3)
Outputs during auto-fresh
[Indoor unit defrost request]: Transmitted only to unit to which auto-fresh is applied (indoor unit stopped last).
[Compressor]: Accelerated by DFSTEP min
[Electric expansion valve]:
Unit auto-fresh not applied: FULL CLOSE when balancing for 30 seconds has elapsed at start of defrost.
Unit auto-fresh applied : Synchronized with step-up of rotation speed of compressor, opened by [DFSPPS] pulses and
