【 Features of Heating Operations 】

Basic principles and performances

• The unit absorbs heat from the outdoors air and transfers it indoors to heat the room air. The heating capabilities

through this principle of heat pump vary with the increase/decrease of the temperature outside.

• It only needs a fairly short time for such hot air circulation system to raise the room temperature.

• When the outdoor air temperature is very low, the system can be used together with other heating devices. Good

ventilation should be maintained to ensure safety and prevent accidents.

When the outdoor air temperature is very low and humidity is very high, frosting will occur to the heat exchanger of the

outdoor unit, which has negative impacts upon the efficiency of the heating performance. In such case the automatic

defrosting function will come into play. The heating operation will be stopped for 5-10 minutes to defrost.

• The fans of both outdoor and indoor units are stopped. During the defrosting operation, the pilot light will flash

• During the defrosting, the outdoor unit might generate some steam; it is caused by fast defrosting and is not a

• Upon the completion of the defrosting process, the heating operation is resumed.
