Cause of 
Trouble
Condition Mechanism of Fault Generation
Generation 
of refrigerant 
flow distur-
bance
Bending/Blocking of a pipe
EEV fault Closing of SVC Valve
Freezing of indoor device 
→  Reduced evaporation temperature due to 
excessive expansion of refrigerant.
Weak heating and cooling
→  Insufficient flow of refrigerant 
Frequent turning on/off of the compressor by 
the high/low pressure protection logic 
→  Accumulated refrigerant elevates the tem-
perature and reduces the pressure.
Wrong oil collection elevates the outlet tem -
perature of the compressor and damages the 
compressor.
