Part 2 - Component Layout and Refrigerant Circuits   
Key components: 
1.  Oil separator:   
Separates oil from gas refrigerant pumped out of the compressor and quickly returns it to the compressor. Separation 
efficiency is up to 99%. 
2.  Accumulator:   
Stores liquid refrigerant and oil to protect compressor from liquid hammering. 
3.  Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV): 
Controls refrigerant flow and reduces refrigerant pressure. 
4.  Four-way valve:   
Controls  refrigerant  flow  direction.  Closed  in  cooling  mode  and  open  in  heating  mode.  When  closed,  the  heat 
exchanger functions as a condenser; when open, the heat exchanger functions as an evaporator. 
5.  Solenoid valve SV2:   
Protects  the  compressor.  If  compressor  discharge  temperature  rises  above  100°C,  SV2  opens  and  sprays  a  small 
amount  of  liquid refrigerant  to  cool  the  compressor.    SV2  closes  again once  the  discharge  temperature  has  fallen 
below 90°C. 
6.  Solenoid valve SV4:   
Returns oil to the compressor. Opens once the compressor has run for 200 seconds and closes 600 seconds later and 
then opens for 3 minutes every 20 minutes. 
7.  Solenoid valve SV5:   
Enables  fast  defrosting.  During  defrosting  operation,  opens  to  shorten  the  refrigerant  flow  cycle  and  quicken  the 
defrosting process. Closed in cooling mode.   
8.  Solenoid valve SV6: 
Allows refrigerant to bypass the expansion valves. Open  in cooling mode when discharge  temperature exceeds the 
limit. Closed in heating mode or standby. 
9.  High and low pressure switches:   
Regulate system pressure. When system pressure rises above the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, the high or 
low pressure switches turn off, stopping the compressor. After 10 minutes, the compressor restarts.
