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. Gas-liquid separator:
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(ST1):
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. 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 5 minutes, the compressor restarts.

2 Stop Operation
The stop operation occurs for one of the two following reasons:
1. Abnormal shutdown: in order to protect the compressors, if an abnormal state occurs the system makes a 'stop with
thermo off' operation and an error code is displayed on the outdoor unit digital displays.
2. The system stops when the set temperature has been reached.
20
3 Standby Control
3.1 Crankcase Heater Control
The crankcase heater is used to prevent refrigerant from mixing with compressor oil when the compressor is stopped. The
crankcase heater is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature and the compressor on/off state. When the
outdoor ambient temperature is above 3°C or the compressor is running, the crankcase heater is off; when the outdoor
ambient temperature is at or below 3°C and either the compressor has been stopped for more than 3 hours or the unit has
just been powered-on (either manually or when the power has returned following a power outage), the crankcase heater
turns on.
Part 3 - Control
21
4 Startup Control
4.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control
When the ODU is powered on again and the compressor delays about 7 minutes to start. After the compressor stops
running, it takes about 4 minutes to restart, in order to prevent frequent compressor on/off and to equalize the pressure
within the refrigerant system.

Part 3 - Control
5.2 Compressor Output Control
The compressor rotation speed is controlled according to the load requirement. Before compressor startup, the outdoor
unit first estimates the indoor unit load requirement according to the nominal capacity of indoor units currently running,
and then correct for ambient temperature. The compressors then start up according to the corrected load requirement.
During operation the compressors are controlled according to the nominal capacity of indoor units currently running and
the indoor unit heat exchanger temperatures.
5.3 Compressor Step Control

The running speed of the compressors in rotations per second (rps) is one third of the frequency (in Hz) of the electrical
input to the compressor motors. The compressor speed can be altered in increments of 1 rps.
5.4 Electronic Expansion Valve Control

The position of electronic expansion valves EXV is controlled in steps from 0 (fully closed) to 480 (fully open).
In cooling mode:
 When the outdoor unit is in standby:
 EXV is at position 304 (steps).
 When the outdoor unit is running:
 EXV is controlled according to discharge temperature.
In heating mode:
 When the outdoor unit is in standby:
 EXV is at position 304 (steps).
 When the outdoor unit is running:
 EXV is controlled according to discharge temperature.

6 Protection Control
6.1 High Pressure Protection Control
This control protects the system from abnormally high pressure and protects the compressors from transient spikes in
pressure.
Figure 3-6.1: High pressure protection control
Normal operation
Pc > 4.4MPa Pc < 3.2MPa
High pressure protection, error code P1 is displayed
Notes:
1. Pc: Discharge pressure
When the discharge pressure rises above 4.4MPa the system displays P1 protection and the unit stops running. When the
discharge pressure drops below 3.2MPa, the compressor enters re-start control.
6.2 Low Pressure Protection Control

This control protects the system from abnormally low pressure and protects the compressors from transient drops in
pressure.
Figure 3-6.2: Low pressure protection control
Normal operation
Pe < 0.05MPa Pe > 0.14MPa
Low pressure protection, error code P2 is displayed
Notes:
1. Pe: Suction pressure
When suction pipe pressure drops blow 0.05MPa the system displays P2 protection and the unit stops running. When the
suction pipe pressure rises above 0.14MPa, the compressor enters re-start control.
6.3 Discharge Temperature Protection Control

This control protects the compressors from abnormally high temperatures and transient spikes in temperature. It is
performed for each compressor.
Figure 3-6.3: High discharge temperature protection control
Normal operation
Discharge temperature ≥ 115°C Discharge temperature < 90°C
High discharge temperature protection, error code P4 is displayed
When the discharge temperature rises above or equal to 115°C the system displays P4 protection and the unit stops
running. When the discharge temperature drops below 90°C, the compressor enters re-start control.
24
6.4 Compressor and Inverter Module Protection Control
This control protects the compressors from abnormally high currents and protects the inverter modules from abnormally
high temperatures.
Figure 3-6.4: Compressor current protection control
Normal operation
Current ≥ Currentmax Current < Currentmax
Compressor current protection, error code P3 is displayed
6.5 Disable Cooling Control

When the outdoor ambient temperature drops below or equal to -5°C， cooling mode is disabled to prevent low
compression ratios which can result in insufficient compressor internal oil lubrication, and prevent humid compressed in
low superheat of compressor bottom conditions. When the outdoor ambient temperature rises above or equal to -4°C, the
compressor enters re-start control.

7 Special Control
7.1 Oil Return Operation
In order to prevent compressors from running out of oil, the oil return operation is conducted to recover oil that has
flowed out of the compressor(s) and into the piping system. This operation is performed for all units including units that
are in standby.
Timing of oil return operation:

 When the initial cumulative operating time reaches every 8 hours.
Tables 3-7.1 and 3-7.2 show component control during oil return operation in cooling mode.

7.2 Defrosting Operation

In order to recover heating capacity, the defrosting operation is conducted when the outdoor unit heat exchanger is
performing as an evaporator. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor
heat exchanger temperature, indoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor unit running time. When the outdoor unit is
running in defrosting, the digital display on outdoor main PCB will display “df”.

Notes:
1. Measure the resistance among the three terminals of the pressure sensor. If the resistance is of the order of mega Ohms or infinite, the pressure sensor
has failed.
2. An insufficiency of refrigerant causes compressor discharge temperature to be higher than normal, discharge and suction pressures to be lower than
normal and compressor current to be lower than normal, and may cause frosting to occur on the suction pipe. These issues disappear once sufficient
refrigerant has been charged into the system.
3. A low pressure side blockage causes compressor discharge temperature to be higher than normal, suction pressure to be lower than normal and
compressor current to be lower than normal, and may cause frosting to occur on the suction pipe.
4. In cooling mode check indoor heat exchangers, fans and air outlets for dirt/blockages. In heating mode check outdoor heat exchangers, fans and air outlets
for dirt/blockages.

2.23.11 Compressor replacement procedure Figure 6-2.5: Draining oil from a compressor
Step 1: Remove faulty compressor and remove oil
 Remove the faulty compressor from the outdoor unit.
 Before removing the oil, shake the compressor so as to not allow
impurities to remain settled at the bottom.

 Drain the oil out of the compressor and retain it for inspection.
Normally the oil can be drained out from the compressor discharge
pipe.
Step 2: Inspect oil from faulty compressor

 The oil should be clear and transparent. Slightly yellow oil is not an indication of any problems. However, if the oil is
dark, black or contains impurities, the system has problems and the oil needs to be changed. Refer to Figure 6-2.7 for
further details regarding inspecting compressor oil. (If the compressor oil has been spoiled, the compressor will not
be being lubricated effectively. The scroll plate, crankshaft and bearings will wear. Abrasion will lead to a larger load
and higher current. More electric energy will get dissipated as heat and the temperature of the motor will become
increasingly high. Finally, compressor damage or burnout will result.)
Step 3: Check oil in other compressors in the system

 If the oil drained from the faulty compressor is clean, go to Step 6.
 If the oil drained from the faulty compressor is spoiled (lightly or heavily), go to Step 4.
Step 4: Replace oil separator and accumulator

 If the oil from a compressor is spoiled (lightly or heavily), drain the oil from the oil separator and accumulator in that
unit and then replace them.
Step 5: Check filters(s)

 If the oil from a compressor is spoiled (lightly or heavily), check the filter between the gas stop valve and the 4-way
valve in that unit. If it is blocked, clean with nitrogen or replace.
71
Step 6: Replace the faulty compressor and re-fit the other compressors Figure 6-2.6: Compressor piping
 Replace the faulty compressor. Discharge pipe

 If the oil had been spoiled and was drained from the non-faulty compressor Suction pipe
in Step 3, use clean oil to clean them before re-fitting it into the unit. To
clean, add oil into the compressor through the discharge pipe using a funnel,
shake the compressor, and then drain the oil. Repeat several times and then
re-fit the compressors into the units. (The discharge pipe is connected to the
oil pool of the compressor by the inner oil balance pipe.)
Step 7: Add compressor oil

 Add oil to each of the compressors from which oil was drained in Step 3.
 Only use RB75EA oil. Different compressors require different types of oil.
Using the wrong type of oil leads to various problems.
 Add oil to the accumulator from which oil was drained in Step 4.
Step 8: Vacuum drying and refrigerant charging

 Once all the compressors and other components have been fully connected, vacuum dry the system and recharge
refrigerant.
