ECONOMIZER WITH SINGLE ENTHALPY SENSOR -

When the room thermostat calls for cooling, the low voltage control circuit from “R” to “G” and “Y1” is com- pleted. The UCB energizes the blower motor (if the fan switch on the room thermostat is set in the “AUTO” position) and drives the economizer dampers from fully closed to their minimum position. If the enthalpy of the outdoor air is below the setpoint of the enthalpy con- troller (previously determined), “Y1” energizes the economizer. The dampers will modulate to maintain a constant supply air temperature as monitored by the discharge air sensor. If the outdoor air enthalpy is above the setpoint, “Y1” energizes the compressor and condenser fan motor only.

Once the thermostat has been satisfied, it will de-ener- gize “Y1”. If the compressor has satisfied its minimum run time, the compressor and condenser fan are de- energized. Otherwise, the unit operates the cooling system until the minimum run times for the compressor has been completed. After the compressor de-ener- gizes, the blower is stopped following the elapse of the fan off delay for cooling, and the economizer damper goes to the closed position. If the unit is in continues fan operation the economizer damper goes to the min. position.

ECONOMIZER WITH DUAL ENTHALPY SENSORS -

The operation with the dual enthalpy sensors is identi- cal to the single sensor except that a second enthalpy sensor is mounted in the return air. This return air sen- sor allows the economizer to choose between outdoor air and return air, whichever has the lowest enthalpy value, to provide maximum operating efficiency.

ECONOMIZER (SINGLE OR DUAL) WITH POWER EXHAUST -

This system operates as specified above with one addition. The power exhaust motor is energized 45 seconds after the actuator position exceeds the exhaust fan setpoint on the economizer control. When the power exhaust is operating, the second stage of mechanical cooling will not operate. As always, the “R” to “G” connection provides minimum position but does not provide power exhaust operation.

MOTORIZED OUTDOOR AIR DAMPERS -

This system operation is the same as the units with no outdoor air options with one exception. When the “R” to “G” circuit is complete, the motorized damper drives

open to a position set by the thumbwheel on the damper motor. When the “R” to “G” circuit is opened, the damper spring returns fully closed.

COOLING OPERATION ERRORS

Each cooling system is monitored for operation outside of the intended parameters. Errors are handled as described below. All system errors override minimum run times for compressors.

HIGH-PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH

During cooling operation, if a high-pressure limit switch opens, the UCB will de-energize the compressor, initi- ate the ASCD (Anti-short cycle delay), and, stop the condenser fan. If the call for cooling is still present at the conclusion of the ASCD, the UCB will re-energize the compressor.

Should a high-pressure switch open three times within two hours of operation, the UCB will lock-out the com- pressor and flash a code (see Table 32).

LOW-PRESSURE LIMIT SWITCH

The low-pressure limit switch is not monitored during the initial 30 seconds of a cooling system's operation. For the following 30 seconds, the UCB will monitor the low-pressure switch to ensure it closes. If the low-pres- sure switch fails to close after the 30-second monitor- ing phase, the UCB will de-energize the compressor, initiate the ASCD, and stop the condenser fan.

Once the low-pressure switch has been proven (closed during the 30-second monitor period described above), the UCB will monitor the low-pressure limit switch for any openings. If the low-pressure switch opens for greater than 5 seconds, the UCB will de-energize the compressor, initiate the ASCD, and stop the condenser fan.

If the call for cooling is still present at the conclusion of the ASCD, the UCB will re-energize the compressor.

Should a low-pressure switch open three times within one hour of operation, the UCB will lock-out the com- pressor and flash a code (see Table 32).

FREEZESTAT

During cooling operation, if a freezestat opens, the UCB will de-energize the compressor, initiate the ASCD, and stop the condenser fan. If the call for cool-

BQ 048, BQ 036, BQ 060 specifications

Johnson Controls has established itself as a leading player in the HVAC and building management industries, and its BQ series of chillers - including the BQ 060, BQ 036, and BQ 048 - reflects this commitment to innovation and efficiency. These models are designed to provide advanced cooling solutions suitable for a variety of commercial applications.

The BQ 060 is particularly notable for its high-performance capabilities. With a cooling capacity of 60 tons, it utilizes variable-speed compressors, allowing it to adjust its performance based on the cooling demand. This flexibility not only enhances energy efficiency but also reduces operational costs. The unit incorporates advanced microprocessor controls that facilitate seamless integration with building management systems, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustments.

Moving on to the BQ 036, this model is engineered for facilities that require a smaller footprint but still demand reliability and efficiency. With a cooling capacity of 36 tons, it features a compact design without compromising on performance. The BQ 036 also employs environmentally friendly refrigerants, aligning with Johnson Controls' commitment to sustainability. Enhanced insulation and sound-dampening technologies make it an ideal choice for noise-sensitive environments, ensuring comfort without sacrificing efficiency.

The BQ 048 lies in between the two, with a capacity of 48 tons, making it versatile for medium-sized commercial buildings. Its design incorporates a modular approach, allowing for easy scalability in future expansions. This model also features energy recovery options that can utilize excess heat to improve overall efficiency, further solidifying its role in sustainable building practices. Its user-friendly interface enhances operability, simplifying management for building operators.

All three models of the BQ series share key characteristics, such as robust construction to withstand diverse environmental conditions, and low maintenance requirements thanks to their durable components. They utilize advanced technologies for temperature control and energy efficiency, including an intelligent controller that automates more routine tasks. Together, the BQ 060, BQ 036, and BQ 048 offer comprehensive solutions that cater to the growing demands of energy efficiency, sustainability, and reliability in modern building operations.
