outdoor unit fan run before compressor?
Hi
In cooling mode
I noticed in some mini split ac unit in the outdoor unit that fan and compressors not running in the same time but the fan starts then after 3 seconds the compressor run
and same when outdoor unit turn off
the compressor turn off then after 3 seconds the fan turn off
what are the advantage from such operation
