6 Special Control 
6.1 Oil Return Operation 
In order to prevent the compressor from running out of oil, the oil return operation is conducted to recover oil that has 
flowed out of the compressor and into the refrigerant piping.   
 
The oil return operation starts when the following condition occurs: 
  When the compressor cumulative operating time reaches 6 hours. 
 
The oil return operation ceases when any one of the following three conditions occurs: 
  Oil return operation duration reaches 5 minutes. 
  Compressor stops. 
 
Tables 3-6.1 show component control during oil return operation in cooling mode.

6.2 Defrosting Operation 
In order to recover heating capacity, the defrosting operation is conducted when the outdoor unit air side heat exchanger 
is performing as a condenser. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, air side 
heat exchanger refrigerant outlet temperature and the compressor running time.

6.3 Force Cooling Operation 
The force cooling operation helps the refrigerant recovering before removal the water side heat exchanger.   
The force cool mode can be ended by pushing the button on the outdoor refrigerant system main PCB  FORCE  
5s or this mode will be ended automatic if the system has operated force cool mode for more than 30 minutes.
