9-4-2. Simplified flow of reverse cycle defrost
Reverse cycle defrost is performed in systems where only 1 outdoor unit is connected to the refrigerant system.
Frost detection does not occur for 5 minutes after operation starts.
(2) Frost is detected when either condition 1 or 2 below is met.
Condition 1:
L2 line or below is detected twice, each time continuously for 4 minutes, when the compressor
is operating.
Condition 2:
L1 line or below is detected for a total of 60 minutes when the compressor is operating.
