5.1  Device control system
Control subject
Purpose
Cooling operation Heating operation Defrost operation
Control frequency of inverter 
compressor
The frequency control is determined 
with the next parameters:
•  Ratio (I.U. capacity/O.U. ca-
pacity) for individual operation.
•  Temperature difference be-
tween air inlet temperature and 
setting air temperature.
The frequency control is determined 
with the next parameters:
•  Ratio (I.U. capacity/O.U. ca-
pacity) for individual operation.
•  Temperature difference be-
tween air inlet temperature and 
setting air temperature.
Fixed frequency 
(For RAS-(2-2.5)HVNP and RAS-
3HVNC: stop compressor during 30 
sec. After defrosting condition was 
completed)
Opening degree expansion 
valve of outdoor unit
Fully open
•  Control range of expansion 
valve opening degree is deter-
mined to optimize temperature. 
on the top of compressor.
•  When number of I.U. is de-
creased, determined with I.U. 
capacity. Ratio of (before/after 
decrease or with above condi-
tion) for individual operation.
Fully open
Opening degree expansion 
valve of indoor unit
•  Control range of expansion 
valve opening degree is deter-
mined to optimize I.U. gas pipe 
temp. (Tg) - I.U. liquid pipe 
temp. (Tl) difference.
•  The expansion valve opening 
degree is controlled according 
to the number of connected I.U 
for individual operation.
•  Specied opening degree at 
normal control starting. After-
ward, controlled to optimize 
I.U. liquid pipe temp. (Tl)
•  The expansion valve opening 
degree is controlled according to 
the number of connected I.U for 
individual operation.
Specied opening degrees control-
led by temp. on the top of compres-
sor. (Td).
Outdoor fan control
•  Fan step is operated for O.U. 
liquid pipe temp. (Te) stabiliza-
tion control.
•  Fan Step is controlled accord-
ing to O.U. liquid pipe temp. 
and temp. on the top of com-
pressor.
Fan stop.
4-Way valve (RVR) OFF ON OFF
Solenoid valve (SVA) (Equalised 
pressure valve)
•  Turn ON at starting.
•  Pd increase protection control. 
RAS-(4-12)H(V)N(P/C)(E)
•  Turn ON at starting.
•  Pd increase protection control. 
RAS-(4-12)H(V)N(P/C)(E)
Turn ON at starting.
RAS-(4-12)H(V)N(P/C)(E)
Solenoid valve (SVC) (Hot gas 
discharge bypass)
—
Turn ON depending on I.U. dis-
charge / suction temperature, 
outdoor temperature, outdoor liquid 
temperature, etc.
RAS-(3-12)H(V)N(P/C)(E)
—
Solenoid Valve (SVF) (Oil return)
Turn ON at compressor operation
RAS-12HN(P/C)
Turn ON at compressor operation
RAS-12HN(P/C)
Turn ON during defrosting
RAS-12HN(P/C)
High/Low pressure balance
RAS-(2-2.5)HVNP / RAS-
3HVN(P/C)(E): 
Performed at the indoor expansion 
valve.
RAS-(4-12)H(V)N(P/C)(E): 
Turn ON SVA during stop.
RAS-(2-2.5)HVNP / RAS-
3HVN(P/C)(E): 
Performed at the outdoor expan-
sion valve.
RAS-(4-12)H(V)N(P/C)(E): 
Turn ON SVA during stop.
