4 Way valve principle

Cooling operation :
-
The valve is not powered during cooling operation, a compressed high-pressure refrigerant is connected to the heat exchanger

Heating operation :
-
Power the valve during heating operation. When power is applied to the valve, the cap inside the body moves in the direction of A, and changes the direction of refrigerant flow.
-
The compressed high-pressure refrigerant is connected to the heat exchanger on the first side to deliver high temperature.
