1-18. DEFROST OPERATION CONTROL
1. CONDITION OF STARTING THE DEFROST OPERATION
The defrost operation starts when the outdoor heat exchanger temperature sensor detects
the temperature lower than the values shown in Table 10.
1-17. COMPRESSOR PREHEATING
When the outdoor heat exchanger temperature is lower than 0°C and after 30 minutes has passed
after power-on or operation stop, power is applied to the compressor and the compressor is heated.
(By heating the compressor, warm air is quickly discharged when operation is started.)
When operation was started, and when the outdoor temperature rises to 2°C or greater, preheating is ended.
2. CONDITION OF THE DEFROST OPERATION COMPLETION
Release Condition
Outdoor heat exchanger temperature sensor value is higher than +10°C or
Compressor operation time has passed 15 minutes.
