2. Processes and functions 2-1 Room Temperature Control The Unit adjusts room temperature by turning the outdoor unit’s compressor ON and OFF. This process is controlled by the thermostat located in the remote control unit. The figures on this and the next pages show how each part of the system performs when the room temperature changes and the thermostat activates the compressor to start (thermo ON) or stop (thermo OFF).
2. Processes and functions 2. Processes and functions 2-2 Freeze Prevention Freeze Prevention keeps the indoor heat exchange coil from freezing. Freezing reduces the efficiency of the unit, and frost buildup on the coil blocks cool air circulation from the indoor unit’s fan.
