temperature of the outside air fall below the set point, then, the
supply air fan will shut down, the supply air damper will close and
the unit goes into an exhaust cycle. The defrost cycle is
preprogrammed in the control borad. Once the temperature goes
back higher the set point, then the unit will go back to a normal
exchange mode.
Signle speed defrost:
The fans keep the same actual speed in defrost
And exchange mode.
Extended defrost:
The amount of defrost is extended for areas with
extreme temperature level, when a normal
defrost is not sufficiant.
