GENERAL INFORMATION

6.1.1

Specific features

(1) Equipped with an inverter scroll compressor.

¡Low noise. Low vibration and compact.

(2) The long piping makes the location of the inside and units flexible.

¡No need for additional charge of refrigerant : 20 m

¡Maximum piping length : 30 m

(3) Connectable indoor capacity

Number of connectable units : 1 to 2 units

Total of indoor units (class kW) : 6.5 kW

(4) Indoor units are available with 5 capacities.

5 capacities ········ 22, 25, 28, 32, 40

(5) Inverter (Frequency converter) for multi-steps power control

¡Heating / Cooling

The rotational speed of a compressor is changed in step in relation to varying load, to interlock with the indoor and outdoor unit fans controlled to changes in frequency, thus controlling the power.

¡Allowing quick heating/cooling operation during start-up period. Constant room temperature by fine-tuned control after the unit has stabilized.

(6) Fuzzy control

Fuzzy control calculates the amount of variation in the difference between the suction air temperature and the setting temperature in compliance with the fuzzy rules in order to control the air capacity and the inverter frequency.

(7) Self diagnosis function

We are constantly trying to do better service to our customers by installing such judges that show abnormality of operation as

follows. (See Page 225)

Remarks

The sequence for o rps instruction shows one example.

(f) Low Hz continuous operation protection control

The following controls are performed to return oil to the compressor when the outdoor unit speed of 28 rps or more to 40 rps or less is continuously operated for 20 minutes.

1) The decision speed is forced to operate at 40 rps for 2 minutes.

2) The outdoor fan and electronic expansion valve are operated according to the outdoor unit speed.

3) If there is an instruction exceeding 40 rps during this forced 40 rps operation, this control ends and the operation follows that instruction.

(g) Heating low temperature protection control

The following controls are performed when the outdoor unit is in heating operation at a speed other than 0 rps and the outdoor temperature is 2

°

C or less for 1 continuous minute.

1) The outdoor unit fan speed is forced to 5th speed.

2) This control is ended when the outdoor temperature reaches 4

°

C or more.

(h) Current safe control

1) When converter in port current is detected at the current sensor (CT) and it exceeds the set amperage, the speed is reduced

2 rps. This is rechecked after one second and if it still exceeds the set amperage, the speed is reduced another 2 rps.

2) If the actual speed operated at 28 rps or less, the inverter is stopped. It is restarted after a 3 minute delay. However, if it is restarted repeatedly within an interval of 1 hour, it will not start on the 5 times.

(i) Current cut

This detects converter output current at the shunt resistor and if it exceeds the set value, the inverter is stopped. It is restarted after a 3 minute delay. However, if the current cut operates again when the actual speed is less than 20 rps, it will not start on the 4 times.

(j) Compressor overheat protection

The detection temperature of the compressor dome thermistor (Tho-D) is used to prevent oil deterioration and damage to the motor wire due to overheating of the compressor.

1) If Tho-D becomes 125

°

C, the inverter is stopped. After the stop mode has been activated, the inverter will be restarted when Tho-D becomes < 95

°

C. However, if it is restarted repeatedly within an interval of 1 hour, it will not start on the 3 times.

2) When 105

(2) After 20 seconds, if the temperature of the compressor dome has decreased, it is lowered 2 rps. If the temperature has risen or is the same, it is lowered another 8 rps.

(3) If the temperature of the compressor dome is 95

°

C or more and less than 105

°

C, the speed of the outdoor unit is maintained. If operation is maintained at the same speed for 6 minutes or more or if the temperature is 95

°

C or less, control is returned to normal operation.

(k) Serial transmission abnormality protection

If the compressor is operating with an outdoor speed other than 0 rps and a serial signal cannot be received from all indoor controls with outdoor controls having serial signals other than “stop - 0 rps” continuously for 1 minute and 55 seconds, the inverter is stopped.

After the inverter has been stopped, it will be restarted after the compressor start delay if a serial signal can be received again from the indoor control.

213

(l) Compressor lock

If the motor for the compressor does not turn a half a turn approximately 0.3 seconds after it has been started, it is determined that a compressor lock has occurred and the inverter is stopped.

(m) Compressor dome thermistor broken wire protection control

1) When the outdoor unit speed is other than 0 rps and after the compressor has started to operate, if after 10 minutes there is a compressor dome thermistor temperature10-second interrupt signal (less than 7

°

C), it is immediately placed in stop mode and restarted. (This detection is only performed once when the compressor is on.)

2) If an error continues for 4 times continuously, a permanent stop is made. (Restoration requires resetting the power supply.)

(n) Outdoor unit failure

This is a function for determining when there is trouble with the outdoor unit during air conditioning.

The inverter is stopped if any one of the following in item 1), 2) is satisfied. Once the unit is stopped by this function, it is not restarted.

1) When the input current is measured at 1 A or less for 3 continuous minutes or more.

2) If the outdoor unit sends a 0 rps signal to the indoor unit 3 times or more within 20 minutes of the power being turned on.

Servicing

(1) Evacuation

The evacuation is an procedure to purge impurities ...... noncondensable gas, air, moisture from the refrigerant equipment by using a vacuum pump. Since the refrigerant R22 is very insoluble in water, even a small amount of moisture left in the refrigerant equipment will freeze, causing what is called water clogging.

¡ Evacuation procedure

(a) Check to ensure that there is no internal pressure in the unit. If there is an internal pressure, it should be relieved through the check joint.

(b) Connect the service hoses of the gauge manifold to the check joint of the gas & liquid piping.

(c) Connect a vacuum pump to the charge hose A . Repeat evacuation in the following sequence.

Liquid side

Start the vacuum pump.

Compound pressure gauge indicates –0.1 MPa (–76 cmHg)

Gas side

Operate the vacuum pump for more than 15 minutes after –0.1 MPa

( –76 cmHg) is indicated.

Check joint

Close low pressure valve 1 of gauge manifold.

Service hose

Stop the vacuum pump.

Gauge manifold

Charge hose

Refrigerant cylinder

Notes (1) Do not use the refrigerant pressure to expel air.

(2) Do not use the compressor for evacuation.

(3) Do not operate the compressor in the vacuum condition.

Vacuum pump

(2) Refrigerant charge

(a) Discharge refrigerant entirely from the unit and evacuate the unit.

Note: Addition of refrigerant without evacuation is unreasonable, because it will result in low charge or overcharge.

(b) Keep the gauge manifold and connect a refrigerant cylinder to the unit.

(c) Record the weight of the refrigerant cylinder on the balance. This is necessary for making sure of the charged refrigerant amount.

(d) Purge air from the charge hose A

Firstly loose the connecting portion of the charge hose A at the gauge manihold side and open the valve 3 for a few seconds, and then immediately retighten it after observing that gas is blow out from the loosened portion.

(e) Open the valve 1 and 3 after discharging air from the charge hose A , then the gas refrigerant begins flowing from the cylinder into the unit. Be sure to erect the refrigerant cylinder upright to let gas refrigerant flow into the unit.

(f) When refrigerant has been charged into the system to some extent, refrigerant flow becomes stagnant, when that happens, start the compressor in cooling cycle until the unit is filled with gas to the specified weight.

(g) Making sure of the refrigerant amount, close the valve 3.

(h) Disconnect the charge hose from the unit. Cover the valve ports of the refrigerant piping with caps and tighten them securely.

(i) Check for gas leakage applying a gas leak detector along the piping line.

(j) Start the air conditioner and make sure of its operating condition ...... high side and low side pressures and temperature difference between suction air and outlet air.
