4.4 Four-way Valve Control
The four-way valve is used to change the direction of refrigerant flow through the water side heat exchanger in order to
switch between cooling and heating/DHW operations. Refer to Figures 2-3.1 and 2-3.2 in Part 2, 3 Refrigerant Flow
Diagrams .
During heating and DHW operations, the four-way valve is on; during cooling and defrosting operations, the four-way
valve is off.
4.5 Electronic Expansion Valve Control
The position of the electronic expansion valve (EXV) is controlled in steps from 0 (fully closed) to 480 (fully open).
When the outdoor unit is power on:
The EXV first closes fully, then moves to the standby position (304 steps). After compressor runs for 60-second,
EXV is controlled according to ambient temperature. After a further 180s, EXV is controlled according to different
modes.
When the outdoor unit is in standby:
The EXV is at position 304 (steps).
When the outdoor unit stops:
The EXV is fully closed firstly, then moves to the standby position (304 steps).
4.6 Outdoor Fan Control
The speeds of the outdoor unit fans are adjusted in steps, as shown below.
