SiAF332111E Control for 4/5/10/12 HP Outdoor Unit
Part 4 Functions and Control 59
1.2.3 Electronic Expansion Valve PI Control
Injection Electronic Expansion Valve Control
Performs PI control of the electronic expansion valve Y2E (RXMQ10/12ARY1) to keep the
superheating degree (SH) of the outlet gas pipe on the evaporator side for full use of the
subcooling heat exchanger.
1.2.4 Cooling Operation Fan Control
In cooling operation with low outdoor air temperature, this control is used to provide an
adequate amount of circulation air with liquid pressure secured by high pressure control from
the outdoor fan.
Furthermore, when outdoor temperature 20°C, the compressor will run in Step 7 or higher.
When outdoor temperature 18°C, the compressor will run in Step 5 or higher.
When outdoor temperature 12°C, the compressor will run in Step 1 or higher.
