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. Accumulator:
Stores liquid refrigerant and oil to protect compressor from liquid hammering.
3. Electronic expansion valve (EXV):
Controls refrigerant flow and reduces refrigerant pressure.
4. Solenoid valve SV2:
Protects the compressor. If compressor discharge temperature rises above 100oC, SV2 opens and sprays a small
amount of liquid refrigerant to cool the compressor. SV2 closes again once the discharge temperature has fallen
below 90oC.
5. Solenoid valve SV4:
Returns oil to the compressor. Opens once the compressor has run for 200 seconds and closes 600 seconds later and
then opens for 3 minutes every 20 minutes.
6. Solenoid valve SV7:
Allows refrigerant to return directly to the compressor. Opens when indoor air temperature is close to the set
temperature to avoid frequent compressor on/off. Opens when superheat degree is insufficient to avoid liquid
hammer to compressor.
7. Low pressure switches:
Regulate system pressure. When system pressure falls below the lower limit, the low pressure switches turn off,
stopping the compressor. After 10 minutes, the compressor restarts.

2 Stop Operation
The stop operation occurs for one of the three 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.
3. A unit stops when the load demanded by the indoor units decreases and can be handled by fewer outdoor units.

3 Startup Control
3.1 Compressor Startup Delay Control
In initial startup control, compressor startup is delayed for 12 minutes in order to let the master unit search for the indoor
units’ addresses. In restart control (except in oil return operation), compressor startup is delayed such that a minimum of 7
minutes has elapsed since the compressor stopped, in order to prevent frequent compressor on/off and to equalize the
pressure within the refrigerant system.

4.2 Compressor Output Control

The compressor rotation speed is controlled according to the load requirement. Before compressor startup, the outdoor
units first estimate 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. If the actual load requirement can be provided by one unit alone, then only
one unit starts up. If the actual load requirement requires all outdoor unit modules to operate, the weighted average
actual load requirement is sent to each module and each module operates according to this distributed load
requirement.

4.3 Compressor Step Control

The compressor speed can be altered in increments of 1 rps (rotations per second) and decrease of 2rps.

4.4 Operating Priority and Rotation of Compressors

Figures 3-4.1 to 3-4.3 show the compressor operating priority and rotation in systems with one, two and three outdoor
units. In units with two compressors, inverter compressor A (BP1) operates in priority to inverter compressor B (BP2). In
multi-unit systems, units operate in rotation. In Figures 3-4.2 and 3-4.3 the master unit and slave units 1 and 2 are shown
from left to right in that order, and the circled numbers (①, ②, ③) indicate the rotation sequence.

6 Special Control
6.1 Outdoor Unit Duty Cycling
In systems with multiple outdoor units, outdoor unit duty cycling is used to prevent compressor burn out due to
unbalanced oil levels between outdoor units.

Timing of outdoor unit duty cycling:

 After oil return operation.
 On restart following compressor stop after set temperatures achieved.

Figure 3-6.1 shows an example of duty cycling in a system with 3 outdoor units.

6.2 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. When the outdoor unit is running in oil return, the digital display on outdoor main PCB will display “d0”.
Timing of oil return operation:
 When the initial cumulative operating time reaches 140 minutes and then every 8 hours.
Tables 3-6.1 and 3-6.2 show component control during oil return operation in cooling mode.

 Compressor replacement procedure
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. If the compressor oil has
been spoiled, the compressor will not be being lubricated effectively. 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 only lightly spoiled, go to Step 4.
 If the oil drained from the faulty compressor is heavily spoiled, check the oil in the other compressors in the system.
Drain the oil from any compressors where the oil has been spoiled. Go to Step 4.

Step 4: Replace oil separator(s) and accumulator(s)

 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.

Step 6: Replace the faulty compressor and re-fit the other compressors
 Replace the faulty compressor.
 If the oil had been spoiled and was drained from the non-faulty compressors in Step 3, use clean oil to clean them
before re-fitting them into the units. 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 2.3L of oil to each of the compressors from which oil was drained in Step 3.
 Only use FV50S oil. Different compressors require different types of oil. Using the wrong type of oil leads to various
problems.
 Add additional oil to the accumulators such that the total amount of oil is 4L in 8-12HP units, 5L in 14-16HP units 6L in
18-22HP units and 9L in 24-30HP units.

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. Refer to the V6 Engineering Data Book, Part 3.

3.2 Normal Operating Parameters of Refrigerant System
Under the following conditions, the operating parameters given in Tables 6-3.4 should be observed:
 The master outdoor unit can detect all the indoor units.
 The number of indoor units displayed on DSP2 is steady and is equal to the actual number of indoor units installed.
 All stop valves are open and all indoor unit EXVs are connected to their unit’s PCB.
 If the combination ratio is 100% or less, all the indoor units are currently running and if the combination ratio is more
than 100%, indoor units with total capacity equal to the total capacity of the outdoor units are currently running.
 The system is being run in cooling mode with the following settings: temperature 17°C; fan speed high.
 The system has been running normally for more than 30 minutes.
