Control for 4/5/10/12 HP Outdoor Unit SiAF332111E
60 Part 4 Functions and Control
1.3 Special Control
1.3.1 Startup Control
This control is used to equalize the pressure in the suction and discharge sides of the
compressor prior to the compressor startup, thus reducing startup loads. Furthermore, the
inverter is turned ON to charge the capacitor.
In addition, to avoid stresses to the compressor due to oil return or else after the startup, the
following control is made.
Pc : High pressure sensor detection value
Pe : Low pressure sensor detection value
Ta : Outdoor air temperature
