General Information
Sequencing - Balanced Starts and Hours
When desired to balance the wear between the compressors. This method will extend the time between maintenance on the lead compressor. When balanced starts and hours is selected, the compressor with the fewest starts will start. If that compressor is unavailable to start due to a circuit lockout (including
restart inhibit) or a circuit diagnostic, then the other compressor will be started. The second compressor will stage on when chiller capacity exceeds the Stage on Load point for 30 seconds. When chiller capacity falls below Stage off Load point for 30 seconds, the compressor with the most hours will be shut off.
