4-3-6. Outdoor unit cycle defrost
Outdoor unit cycle defrost is performed in systems where 2 outdoor units are connected to the refrigerant system.
Description of outdoor unit cycle defrost
With this defrost method, when 1 outdoor unit operates in defrost mode (heat exchanger operating as a con-
denser), another outdoor unit operates as an evaporator in the same way as in ordinary heating mode.
In this way, the other outdoor unit is heating the unit where defrost is occurring. When 1 outdoor unit completes
defrost, the other outdoor unit performs defrost in the same way.
Because the amount of time that the unit operates as an evaporator is very short, there is little danger of frost
forming again quickly. Rather, because the heat source is very powerful, it is possible to shorten the defrost
operating time.
Defrost sequence
Outdoor unit cycle defrost is always completed in 2 defrost operations.
