information on a specific topic.
The definitions of temperatures are classified as following.
Room temperature: temperature of lower part of the room
Set temperature: temperature set by remote controller
Room thermistor temperature: temperature detected by room temperature thermistor
Target temperature: temperature determined by microcomputer
The temperature of the room is detected by the room temperature thermistor. However, there is a
difference between the temperature detected by room temperature thermistor and the temperature
of lower part of the room, depending on the type of the indoor unit or installation condition. In
practice, the temperature control is done by the target temperature appropriately adjusted for the
indoor unit and the temperature detected by room temperature thermistor.
1.2 Frequency Principle
Control
Parameters
Inverter PrincipleTo regulate the capacity, a frequency control is needed. The inverter makes it possible to control
The frequency of the compressor is controlled by the following 2 parameters:
The load condition of the operating indoor unit
The difference between the room thermistor temperature and the target temperature
The target frequency is adapted by additional parameters in the following cases:
Frequency restrictions
Initial settings
Forced cooling operation
the rotation speed of the compressor. The followings explain the inverter principle:
Phase 1
The supplied AC power source is converted into the DC power source for the present.
Phase 2
The DC power source is reconverted into the three phase AC power source with variable
frequency.
When the frequency increases, the rotation speed of the compressor increases resulting in an
increase of refrigerant circulation. This leads to a larger amount of heat exchange per unit.

When the frequency decreases, the rotation speed of the compressor decreases resulting in a
decrease of refrigerant circulation. This leads to a smaller amount of heat exchange per unit.
The following drawing shows a schematic view of the inverter principle:
Inverter FeaturesThe inverter provides the following features:
The regulating capacity can be changed according to the changes in the outdoor temperature
and cooling/heating load.
Quick heating and quick cooling
The rotation speed of the compressor is increased when starting the heating (cooling).
This enables to reach the set temperature quickly.
Even during extreme cold weather, high capacity is achieved. It is maintained even when the
outdoor temperature is 2C (35.6°F).
Comfortable air conditioning
A fine adjustment is integrated to keep the room temperature constant.
Energy saving heating and cooling
Once the set temperature is reached, the energy saving operation enables to maintain the room
temperature at low power.

1.3 Airflow Direction Control
Power-Airflow
Dual Flaps
The large flap sends a large volume of air downward to the floor and provides an optimum control in
cooling, dry and heating operation.
Cooling/Dry
During cooling or dry operation, the flap retracts into the indoor unit. Then, cool air can be blown far
and distributed all over the room.
Heating
During heating operation, the large flap directs airflow downward to spread the warm air to the
entire room.
Wide-Angle
Louvers
The louvers, made of elastic synthetic resin, provide a wide range of airflow that guarantees
comfortable air distribution.
Auto-SwingThe following tables explain the auto-swing process for cooling, dry, heating and fan:

3-D AirflowAlternative repetition of vertical and horizontal swing motions enables uniform air-conditioning of
the entire room.
When the horizontal swing and vertical swing are both set to automatic operation, the airflow
becomes 3-D airflow. The horizontal and vertical swing motions are alternated and the airflow
direction changes in the order shown in the following diagram.
(1) The vertical blades (louvers) move from the right to the left.
(2) The horizontal blades (flaps) move downward.
(3) The vertical blades (louvers) move from the left to the right.
(4) The horizontal blades (flaps) move upward.
COMFORT
The flaps are controlled not to blow the air directly at the people in the room.
AIRFLOW
Operation
The airflow direction is upward while in cooling operation, and downward while in heating operation.
This function prevents cold or warm air from blowing directly on the occupants in the room.
