[In heating]
¬Refer to P.112.
¬Is the indoor unit too small compared to
the large-sized outdoor unit?
*1:
In cooling, it is normal if the outdoor unit electronic expansion valve (EV1) is fully open.
*2: In heating, the indoor unit electronic expansion valve is used for “subcooled degree control”.
A temperature difference in excess of 50
°
F
between the inlet and the outlet is deemed abnormal.
