11.6 FLOW FACTOR
The flow factor is used to compensate for deviating pressure drops in pipe system. A system with high pressure drop needs to be com-
pensated by a factor greater than 1 to get the full effect from outdoor unit. The preset value works for most systems. Keep in mind that a
high flow can create unwanted noise in the pipe system.
In this example: min flow=60% minimum flow for flow switch.
Maximum flow default 90%.
