COMPONENT FUNCTION cont.
Compressor
The compressor is managed by the control module and switches
on
whenever a demand for cooling
is received.
There are situations
of
cooling demand
in
which the compressor remains off. These are as follows:
1.
Compressor protection: the compressor switches
on
once a minimum safety time lag has
elapsed since the last power-off, thereby allowing the refrigerant gas pressure to reach a point
of
equilibrium
in
the refrigerant circuit. The same minimum safety time is observed
in
the event
of a mains power interruption (voluntary or involuntary). This compressor protection strategy is
observed only after the product has been operating continuously for the number
of
hours defined
in
the module memory.
2.
Long periods of activity: if the compressor remains on for more than the time parameter set
in
module memory, it
is
switched off, even
in
the presence
of
a cooling demand.
3.
Pause after defrost: at the end of the defrost cycle the compressor observes a protection time
parameterised
in
the module memory so that the water formed during the defrost can be
completely drained.
