Tower Fan Relay Ð Low condenser water tempera- ture can cause the chiller to shut down on low refrigerant temperature. The tower fan relay, located in the starter, is controlled by the PIC to energize and deenergize as the pres- sure differential between cooler and condenser vessels changes in order to prevent low condenser water temperature and to maximize chiller efficiency. The tower fan relay can only accomplish this if the relay has been added to the cooling tower temperature controller. The TOWER FAN RELAY is turned on whenever the CONDENSER WATER PUMP is running, ¯ow is veri®ed, and the difference between cooler and condenser pressure is more than 45 psid (310 kPad) [30 psid (207 kPad)] or entering condenser water temper- ature is greater than 85 F (29 C). The TOWER FAN RELAY is deenergized when the condenser pump is off, ¯ow is lost, the evaporator refrigerant temperature is less than the over- ride temperature, or the differential pressure is less than 40 psid (279 kPad) [28 psid (193 kPad)] and entering con- densing water is less than 80 F (27 C).
IMPORTANT: A ®eld-supplied water temperature con- trol system for condenser water should be installed. The system should maintain the leaving condenser wa- ter temperature at a temperature that is 20° F (11° C) above the leaving chilled water temperature.
The tower-fan relay control is not a substitute for a con- denser water temperature control. When used with a Water Temperature Control system, the tower fan relay control can be used to help prevent low condenser wa- ter temperatures.
Auto. Restart After Power Failure Ð This option may be enabled or disabled, and may be viewed/modi®ed in the Con®g table of Equipment Con®guration. If enabled, the chiller will start up automatically after a single cycle drop- out, low, high, or loss of voltage has occurred, and the power is within ±10% of normal. The 15- and 3-minute inhibit tim- ers are ignored during this type of start-up.
When power is restored after the power failure, and if the compressor had been running, the oil pump will be ener- gized for one minute prior to the evaporator pump ener- gizing. Auto restart will then continue like a normal start-up.
If power to the PSIO module has been off for more than
3 hours, the oil heat algorithm, discussed in the Oil Sump Temperature Control section on page 32, will take effect be- fore the compressor can start. Refrigerant normally migrates into the oil when the oil heater is left off for extended pe- riods of time. The PIC operates the oil pump for 1 to 2 min- utes to ensure that the oil is free of excess refrigerant. Once this algorithm is completed, the RESTART of the chiller will continue.
Water/Brine Reset Ð Three types of chilled water or brine reset are available and can be viewed or modi®ed on the Equipment Con®guration table Con®g selection.
The LID default screen status message indicates when the chilled water reset is active. The Control Point tempera- ture on the Status01 table indicates the chiller's current reset temperature.
To activate a reset type, input all con®guration informa- tion for that reset type in the Con®g table. Then input the reset type number in the SELECT/ENABLE RESET TYPE input line.
RESET TYPE 1ÐReset Type 1 requires an optional 8-input module. It is an automatic chilled water temperature reset based on a 4 to 20 mA input signal. This type permits up to
±30° F (± 16° C) of automatic reset to the chilled water or brine temperature set point, based on the input from a 4 to 20 mA signal. This signal is hardwired into the number one 8-input module.
If the 4-20 mA signal is externally powered from the 8-input module, the signal is wired to terminals J1-5(+) and J1-6(±). If the signal is to be internally powered by the 8-input mod- ule (for example, when using variable resistance), the signal is wired to J1-7(+) and J1-6(±). The PIC must now be con- ®gured on the Service2 table to ensure that the appropriate power source is identi®ed.
RESET TYPE 2ÐReset Type requires an optional 8-input module. It is an automatic chilled water temperature reset based on a remote temperature sensor input. This reset type permits ± 30° F (± 16° C) of automatic reset to the set point based on a temperature sensor wired to the number one 8-input module (see wiring diagrams or certi®ed drawings). The tem- perature sensor must be wired to terminal J1-19 and J1-20. To con®gure Reset Type 2, enter the temperature of the remote sensor at the point where no temperature reset will occur. Next, enter the temperature at which the full amount of reset will occur. Then, enter the maximum amount of re- set required to operate the chiller. Reset Type 2 can now be activated.
RESET TYPE 3ÐReset Type 3 is an automatic chilled water temperature reset based on cooler temperature differ- ence. This type of reset will add ± 30° F (± 16° C) based on the temperature difference between entering and leaving chilled water temperature. This is the only type of reset available without the need of the number one 8-input module. No wir- ing is required for this type as it already uses the cooler water sensors. To con®gure Reset Type 3, enter the chilled water temperature difference (the difference between enter- ing and leaving chilled water) at which no temperature reset occurs. This chilled water temperature difference is usually the full design load temperature difference. The difference in chilled water temperature at which the full amount of reset will occur is now entered on the next input line. Next, the amount of reset is entered. Reset Type 3 can now be activated.
Demand Limit Control, Option Ð (Requires Optional 8-Input Module) Ð The demand limit may be externally controlled with a 4 to 20 mA signal from an energy management system (EMS). The option is set up on the Con®g table. When enabled, the control is set for 100% demand with 4 mA and an operator con®gured minimum de- mand set point at 20 mA.
The Demand Reset input from an energy management system is hardwired into the number one, 8-input module. The signal may be internally powered by the module or externally powered. If the signal is externally powered, the signal is wired to terminals J1-1 (+) and J1-2 (±). If the sig- nal is internally powered, the signal is wired to terminals J1-3 (+) and J1-2 (±). When enabled, the control is set for 100% demand with 4 mA and an operator con®gured mini- mum demand set point at 20 mA.
Surge Prevention Algorithm Ð This is an operator con®gurable feature which can determine if lift conditions are too high for the compressor and then take corrective action. Lift is de®ned as the difference between the pressure at the impeller eye and the impeller discharge. The maxi- mum lift that a particular impeller can perform varies with the gas ¯ow across the impeller and the size of the impeller.
