It differs depending on indoor units of different capacity.When the indoor unit starts Cooling, Heating, Auto and Fan modes, fan capacity values of the indoor units arealways monitored by the DMS. DMS gathers capacity of zero value when they stop operating.❹ Stand-by capacityStand-by capacity is constant for all indoor units regardless of their operations. Since stand-by power isconsumed all the time by PCBs and preheating coils in the outdoor unit, whose value is monitored with thesame fraction which is relatively small compared to main capacity or fan capacity.Here, Demand capacity = Main capacity + Fan capacity + Stand-by capacity05-3_control systems(082~141) 3/6/08 14:04 Page 105
