Function Setting; Operation Characteristics In Relation To The Refrigerant Charge - Mitsubishi Electric PURY-(E)P-YLM-A (-BS) Installation Manual

11-2. Function setting

Make function settings by setting the dipswitches SW4, SW6, and SWP1 on the main board.
Write down the switch settings on the electrical wiring diagram label on the front control box panel for future reference
when the control box needs to be replaced.
・Take the following steps to make temperature unit (ºC or ºF) settings.
① Set the 10th bit of SW6 to ON.
② Set SW4 as shown in the table below to select the setting item No.921. (The setting item No. will be displayed
on LED1.)
③ Press SWP1 for two seconds or longer to change the settings. (The settings can be checked on LED3.)

* Do not change the factory settings of SW5-3 through SW5-8.
* Unless otherwise specified, leave the switch to OFF where indicated by "–," which may be set to OFF for a reason.

11-3. Operation characteristics in relation to the refrigerant charge

It is important to have a clear understanding of the characteristics of refrigerant and the operation characteristics of air
conditioners before attempting to adjust the refrigerant charge in a given system.
・During cooling operation, the amount of refrigerant in the accumulator is the smallest when all indoor units are in
operation.
・During heating operation, the amount of refrigerant in the accumulator is the largest when all indoor units are in
operation.
・Refrigerant undercharge creates a tendency for the discharge temperature to rise.
・Changing the amount of refrigerant in the system while there is refrigerant in the accumulator has little effect on the
discharge temperature.
・The higher the high pressure level, the more likely it is for the discharge temperature to rise.
・The lower the low pressure level, the more likely it is for the discharge temperature to rise.
・When the amount of refrigerant in the system is adequate, the compressor shell temperature is 10 to 60ºC (50 to
140ºF) higher than the low-pressure saturation temperature. If the temperature difference between the compressor
shell temperature and low-pressure saturation temperature is 5ºC (41ºF) or less, refrigerant overcharge is
suspected.
