Correlation of
Air- Conditioner's
Operation Status
and Pressure /
Running Current
What happens in comparison to normal values is summarized in the table below.
(Measured from 15 ~ 20 minutes or more after operation starts.)
When Cooling
When Heating
Note *1. Water in the refrigerant freezes inside the capillary tube or expansion valve, and is basically the
same phenomenon as pump down.
*2. Dirt in the refrigerant clogs filters inside the piping, and is basically the same phenomenon as pump
down.
*3. Pressure differential between high and low pressure becomes slight.
