Low Refrigerant Temperature Cutout
The purpose of the low evaporator refrigerant temperature protection is to prevent water in the evaporator from freezing. When the Low Evaporator Refrigerant Temperature Cutout (LRTC) trip point is violated, a latching diagnostic indicating the condition is displayed. The Low Evaporator Refrigerant Temperature Diagnostic is active in both the Running and Stopped modes.
The Low Evaporator Refrigerant Cutout Setpoint is factory set to 36°F. This can be altered via the service tool. A Service Tool adjustable setpoint that should be based on the percentage of antifreeze used in the customer’s water loop. The Service
tool will display a warning message such as “Warning: Adequate Antifreeze required” for any Evaporator Refrigerant Temperature Cutout below 28°F and any Leaving Water Temperature Cutout below 35°F.
The percent of antifreeze required is a function of the leaving water temperature setpoint and the worse case (lowest permitted water flow) approach temperatures of the chiller’s evaporator design.
Head Relief Relay
Surge, condenser limit, and certain conditions in ice mode can energize the head relief relay. Note: There is a TechView programmable head relief relay filter time setpoint. The default is 1 minute.
