3.6 4-way Valve Control
Applicable units RYP71-250B
Purpose The purpose of the 4-way valve control is to control how the superheated refrigerant passes through
the 4-way valve. The 4-way valve control carries out the changeover switching of the 4-way valve. This
changeover switching is only carried out during operation, because pressure difference is required to
move the internal cylinder.
Method The table below describes the 4-way valve control operation.
Time chart The time chart below illustrates the 4-way valve control.
