4.6.3 Compressor control
The compressor rotation speed is controlled according to the load requirement.
Before compressor startup, the outdoor unit determines the speed according to outdoor ambient temperature, the set-
point and actual water outlet temperature, as shown in paragraph 4.3.2.
Once the startup program is complete, the compressor runs at the set rotation speed.
During operation, the compressor speed is controlled according to the variation ratio of the water temperature, the
water pressure and the refrigerant temperature.
4.6.4 Compressor control step
The operation speed of six-pole compressors in rotations per second (rps) is one third of the frequency (in Hz) of the
electrical input to the compressor motor.
The frequency of the electrical input to the compressor motors can be altered at a speed of 1Hz per second.
4.6.5 4-way valve control
The four-way valve is used to change the direction of refrigerant flow through the water side heat exchanger in order
to switch between cooling and heating/DHW modes. Refer to paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3.
