Expansion valves (EEV)
Cooling mode
EEV-C regulates so that overheating is 4 K.
EEV-H is fully open when the compressor is in opera-
tion.
Heating mode
EEV-H regulates so that overheating is between 3 and
5 K.
EEV-C controls so that sub-cooling is as shown in the
diagram.

Defrosting
Start conditions for defrosting
If the following conditions A or B are fulfilled the de-
frosting starts.
Defrosting conditions A:
■
a) When the accumulated run time for the com-
pressor exceeds 37 minutes after the previous defrost-
ing, and more than 30 minutes after heating opera-
tion started.
■
b) At least 5 minutes after the compressor started.
■
c) When one of the following conditions is met:
■
c1) When the association between the outdoor
unit's heat exchanger temperature (Tho-R1 or -R2,
whichever is the lowest) and the outdoor temper-
ature (Tho-A) is in the temperature range for de-
frosting start.
■
c2) When the association between the suction gas
evaporation temperature (SST) and Tho-A is within
the temperature range.
Defrosting will not start under the following condi-
tions c2:
- Less than 10 minutes have passed since the com-
pressor started.
- The outdoor temperature is greater than +4 °C.
