Fig. 22—Typical Heat Pump Operation, Cooling Mode
1. Hot gas from compressor flows through the 4-way valve and is directed to the outdoor coil. It is then condensed and subcooled through the coil circuits. Refrigerant leaves
the outdoor coil by way of the OD Accurater in the bypass position to the liquid line.
2. The refrigerant then feeds the indoor coil through the ID Accurater device in the metering position and distributes to each circuit.
3. Each circuit evaporates the refrigerant and the circuits are combined in the indoor coil header.
4. The refrigerant then flows through the 4-way valve, accumulator, and back to the compressor.
