Abstract
An air conditioner unit includes a refrigeration loop comprising an outdoor heat exchanger, an indoor heat exchanger, a compressor for circulating refrigerant, and an electronic expansion valve. A controller performs a first operating cycle of the air conditioner unit with the compressor at a first compressor speed and the electronic expansion valve in a first valve position, receives a command to perform a second operating cycle at a target compressor speed, determines that the target compressor speed of the second operating cycle corresponds to the first compressor speed, and initiates the second operating cycle with the electronic expansion valve positioned at the first valve position. The controller is further configured to determine that the first valve position is below a predetermined position threshold at an end of the first operating cycle and open the electronic expansion valve to the predetermined position threshold after the first operating cycle.
