Introduction
2. Heating
The refrigerant (R410A) coming out of the compressors flows into the indoor heat exchanger after passing
through the oil separator and the reversing valve. Dissipating heat to the room, the refrigerant condenses into
a liquid in the indoor heat exchanger.
After that, the refrigerant reduces its pressure at the indoor electronic expansion valve. The refrigerant then
passes through the subcooling heat exchanger and flows to two destinations: the outdoor heat exchanger
through the outdoor heat exchanger liquid flow control valve, and the sub heat exchanger through the sub heat
exchanger liquid flow control valve. These two valves further reduce refrigerant pressure. At the outdoor heat
exchanger the refrigerant evaporates by absorbing heat from the outside air, while at the sub heat exchanger
it evaporates by absorbing heat from the engine exhaust. The refrigerant from the outdoor heat exchanger
flows through the reversing valve and is mixed with the refrigerant from the sub heat exchanger before flowing
into the accumulator and returning to the compressors.
