6. OPERATION DESCRIPTION

FILE NO. SVM-05019

6-1. Outline of Air Conditioner Control

This air conditioner is a capacity-variable type air conditioner. The capacity proportional control

compressor which can change the motor speed is mounted. The indoor unit motor drive circuit is mounted to the indoor unit. The compressor and the inverter to control outdoor unit motor are mounted to the outdoor unit. The entire air conditioner is mainly controlled by the indoor unit controller.

The indoor unit controller drives the indoor fan motor based upon command sent from the remote controller, and transfers the operation command to the outdoor unit controller.

The outdoor unit controller receives operation command from the indoor unit side, and controls the outdoor fan and the pulse modulating valve.

Besides, detecting revolution position of the compressor motor, the outdoor unit controller controls speed of the compressor motor by controlling output voltage of the inverter and switching timing of the supply power (current transfer timing) so that motors drive according to the operation command. And then, the outdoor unit controller transfers reversely the operating status information of the outdoor unit to control the indoor unit controller.

As the compressor adopts four-pole brushless DC motor, the frequency of the supply power from inverter to compressor is two-times cycles of the actual number of revolution.

(1) Role of indoor unit controller

The indoor unit controller judges the operation commands from the remote controller and assumes the following functions.

• Judgment of suction air temperature of the

indoor heat exchanger by using the indoor temp. sensor.

• Temperature setting of the indoor heat ex-

changer by using heat exchanger sensor (Prevent-freezing control)

• Louver motor control

• Indoor fan motor operation control

• LED display control

• Transferring of operation command signal

(Serial signal) to the outdoor unit

• Reception of information of operation status

(Serial signal including outside temp. data) to the outdoor unit and judgment/display of error

(2) Role of outdoor unit controller

Receiving the operation command signal (Serial signal) from the indoor controller, the outdoor unit performs its role.

• Compressor operation

control

• Operation control of

outdoor fan motor

•

P.M.V. control

• Detection of inverter input current and current

release operation

• Over-current detection and prevention opera-

tion to transistor module (Compressor stop function)

• Compressor and outdoor fan stop function

when serial signal is off (when the serial signal does not reach the board assembly of outdoor control by trouble of the signal system)

• Transferring of operation information (Serial

signal) from outdoor unit to indoor unit

• Detection of outdoor temperature and opera-

tion revolution control

• Defrost control in heating operation (Temp.

measurement by outdoor heat exchanger and control for 4-way valve and outdoor fan)

(3) Contents of operation command signal (Serial

signal) from indoor unit controller to outdoor unit controller

The following three types of signals are sent from the indoor unit controller.

• Operation mode set on the remote controller

• Compressor revolution command signal

defined by indoor temperature and set temperature (Correction along with variation of room temperature and correction of indoor heat exchanger temperature are added.)

• For these two types of signals ( [Operation

mode] and [Compressor revolution] ), the outdoor unit controller monitors the input current to the inverter, and performs the followed operation within the range that current does not exceed the allowable value.

• Temperature of indoor heat exchanger by

indoor heat exchanger sensor (Minimum revolution control)

FILE NO. SVM-05019

(4) Contents of operation command signal (Serial

signal) from outdoor unit controller to indoor unit controller

The following signals are sent from the outdoor unit controller.

• The current operation mode

• The current compressor revolution

• Outdoor temperature

• Existence of protective circuit operation For transferring of these signals, the indoor unit

controller monitors the contents of signals, and judges existence of trouble occurrence.

Contents of judgment are described below.

• Whether distinction of the current operation

status meets to the operation command signal

• Whether protective circuit operates

When no signal is received from the outdoor unit controller, it is assumed as a trouble.

6-1-1. Capacity Control

The cooling capacity is varied by changing compressor motor speed. The inverter changes compressor motor speed by changing AC 220–240V power to DC once, and controls capacity by changing supply power status to the compressor with transis-tor module (includes 6 transistors). The outline of the control is as follows : The revolution position and revolution speed of the motor are detected by detecting winding electromotive force of the com pressor motor under operation, and the revolution speed is changed so that the motor drives based upon revolution speed of the operation command by changing timing (current transfer timing) to ex change inverter output voltage and supply power winding.

Detection of the revolution position for controlling is performed 12 times per 1 revolution of compressor.

The range of supply power frequency to the com pressor differs according to the operation status (COOL, DRY).

6-1-2. Current Release Control

The outdoor main circuit control section (Inverter assembly) detects the input current to the outdoor unit. If the current value with compressor motor speed instructed from indoor side exceeds the specified value, the outdoor main circuit control section controls compressor motor speed by reducing motor speed so that value becomes closest to the command within the limited value.

6-1-3. Power Factor Improvement Control

Power factor improvement control is performed mainly aiming to reduce the current on much power consumption of cooling/heating operation. Controlling starts from the time when input power has reached at a certain point. To be concrete, IGBT of the power factor improvement circuit is used, and the power factor is improved by keeping IGBT on for an arbitrary period to widen electro-angle of the input current.

FILE NO. SVM-05019

6-1-4. Prevent-Freezing Control

The indoor heat exchanger sensor detects refrigerant vapor temperature in COOL/DRY operation. If the temperature is below the specified value, compressor motor speed is reduced so that operation is performed in temperature below the specified value to prevent-freezing of indoor heat exchanger.

6-1-5. P. M. V. (Pulse Modulating Valve)

Using P.M.V., refrigerant flow of refrigeration cycle is varied for the optimum temperature. Controlling each unit separately by four P.M.V. corresponds to difference of pipe length, fan speed, and unit temperature.

If an error occurs on cycle temperature when power source of the air conditioner has been turned on, and if start/stop times of the outdoor unit are 30 times, move the valve once until it hits on the stopper for positioning of the valve. In this case, ticktack sound may be heard.

6-1-6. Louver Control

(1) Vertical air flow louvers

Positions of vertical air flow louvers are automatically controlled according to the operation status (AUTO, COOL, DRY, HEAT). Besides, positions of vertical air flow louvers can be arbitrarily set by pressing the [FIX] button. The louver position which has been set by the [FIX] button is stored in microcomputer, and the louver is automatically set at the stored position in the next operation.

(2) Swing

If the [SWING] button is pressed during running operation, vertical air flow louvers start swinging. When the [SWING] button is pressed again, swinging stops.

6-1-7. Indoor Fan Control

The indoor fan is operated by motor speed non-step variable drive system motor. For flow rate, motor speed is controlled manually in five steps and with the unit of 10 rpm from upper limit to lower limit in AUTO mode as described in Table 6-1-2. It is not selected by relay, so selecting sound does not generate.

6-1-7. Outdoor Fan Control (DC Fan Motor)

Although the outdoor fan motor drives the outdoor fan by non-step variable system of the revolution speed, the revolution speed is restricted to three steps on the convenience of controlling.

If a strong wind is lashing outside of the room, the operation may be continued as the outdoor fan stops in order to protect the outdoor fan motor.

If a fan lock occurred due to entering of foreign matter, the air conditioner stops and an alarm is displayed.

6-2. Description of Operation Circuit

• Turning [ON] the breaker flashes the operation lamp. This is the display of power-ON (or notification of po wer failure).

• When pushing [ ] button of the remote controller, receive sound is issued from the main unit, and the next operations are performed together with opening the vertical air flow louvers.

6-2-1. Fan Only Operation

(The Remote controller [MODE] Button is Set to the FAN ONLY Operation)

• This mode is only for the cooling only model.

• Once the setting is made, the operation mode is memorized in the microcomputer so that the same operation can be effected thereafter simply by pushing [ ] button.

• When the [FAN] button is set to the AUTO position, the indoor fan motor operates as shown in Fig. 62-1. When the [FAN] button is set to LOW, LOW MED, MED+, or HIGH, the motor operates with a constant air flow.

• ECONO, Hi POWER and COMFORT SLEEP

In normal operation

(1) Cooling capacity control

• The cooling capacity and room temperature are controlled by changing the compressor motor speed according to both the difference between the temperature detected by the room temperature sensor and the temperature set by [TEMP] button and also any change in room temperature.

• When compressor has been activated or reactivated, it operates with Max. 33 rps for 2 minutes and with Max. 57 rps from 2 to 4 minutes passed.

• When room temperature is lower than set temperature and indoor fan motor is operated at fan speed L– as shown in Fig. 6-2-2 while the outdoor unit stops.

(2) Prevent-freezing control

If temperature of indoor heat exchanger detected by the indoor heat exchanger sensor is 5°C or lower, compressor motor speed is gradually lowered to pre vent freezing of the indoor heat exchanger. If temperature is 7°C or higher, return the operation to the above item (1).

(3) Current release control

The input current of compressor and outdoor fan motor (Precisely inverter main circuit control section) which occupy most of air conditioner input is detected by the outdoor current sensor , and compressor motor speed is gradually lowered so that current value does not exceed 11.5A if current value exceeds 11.5A. When the current value lowers to 11.0A, return the operation to the above item (1).

(5) Limit for maximum compressor motor speed

by indoor fan speed

When outdoor temperature sensor detected 32°C or lower, and indoor heat exchanger sensor detected 17°C or lower, the maximum compressor motor speed is limited by the indoor fan speed.

For example, when 1 unit only operates, the compressor motor speed is limited as described in the table below.

(6) Louver control

The vertical air flow louvers are automatically set to horizontal or cool memory position.

When temperature of indoor heat exchanger becomes 5°C or lower by the prevent-freezing control and the compressor is turned off, the vertical air flow louvers close once and then return to the position of previous time.

(7) Discharge temperature control

The discharge temperature of refrigerant gas from the compressor is detected by the discharge temperature sensor, and controls operating compressor motor speed.

1) Control 1 (A zone) : Normal operation zone

When TD detect value is 101°C or lower, the operation is performed with operating motor speed instructed by the serial signal.

2) Control 2 (B zone) : Slow-up zone of motor

speed When TD detect value is 101°C or higher,

operating motor speed is slowly up.

3) Control 3 (C zone) : Keep zone

When TD detect value is 108°C or higher, operating motor speed is not changed if raising operation speed.

4) Control 4 (D zone) : Slow down zone of motor

speed When TD detect value is 111°C or higher,

operating motor speed is slowly down.

5) Control 5 (E zone) : Normal down of motor

speed When TD detect value is 115°C or higher,

operating motor speed is down.

6) Control 6 (F zone) : Operation stop zone

If TD detect value exceeds 120°C during operation, stop the operation immediately.

Then, restart the operation when TD detect value becomes 108°C or lower.

2) Changing of air flow (Fan setting : AUTO) When the Hi POWER is started, the fan of the

indoor unit operates at higher air flow level than normal air flow AUTO (normal air flow AUTO is shown in Fig. 6-2-2). Because of the

difference between room temperature and set temperature are increased automatically.

3) Changing of air flow (Fan setting : One of 5 levels) When the Hi POWER is started, the fan of the

indoor unit operates at higher consecutive air

flow level. (Fan speed on the display of remote control does not change)

4) Changing of louver position If the room temperature is higher than setting temperature by 3.5 °C or more, the louver is

automatically set to the maximum air flow

position. If it is not, position of louver is not change. When room temperature is reach to

setting temperature. The louver moves back to set position.

(11) Quiet operation control.

When the [QUIET] button is pushed, the fan is

restricted the revolution speed at L- level until

the [QUIET] button is pushed once again

(cancel QUIET operation). Remarks :

QUIET operation is appropriate to work with less cooling load condition. Because of the fan speed L- may cause not enough the cooling capacity.

6-2-3. DRY Operation

(The Remote controller [MODE] Button is Set to the DRY Position)

• Once the setting is made, the operation mode is

memorized in the microcomputer so that the same operation can be effected thereafter simply by pushing [ ] button.

• Dry operation signal is transmitted to outdoor unit.

• The Cooling operation giving priority to dehumidi-

fying, which restrains the indoor fan speed and compressor motor speed, is performed.

• The indoor fan motor operates as shown in Fig. 6-2-7. (Fan speed is AUTO only.)

• The outdoor unit controls the outdoor fan relay

R01, R02 and R03, and the compressor motor speed according to the operation command signal sent from the indoor unit.
