4.2 Sub Cooling Bypass Valve
1. When the compressor starts, the sub cooling bypass valve is ON for minute. At this time, check whether
the noise or pipe vibration occurs In solenoid valve
2. Turn on the valve 5 seconds after stopping the compressor to quickly remove the difference of high /
low pressure
3. If the compressor suction pipe temperature drops below target temperature, turn on the sub cooling
bypass valve.
4. Depending on the cycle status, the sub cooling bypass valve may remain ON. This is not a malfunction.
5. The change of operation status by the solenoid valve operation can be confirmed by the temperature
before and after the bypass pipe and the refrigerant sound.
6. Insulation resistance in the state of connecting the valve to coil should be over 100mΩ when measure it
with DC mega tester(DC 500V)
