General — The 19XR hermetic centrifugal liquid chiller contains a microprocessor-based control center that monitors and controls all operations of the chiller (see Fig. 9). The microprocessor control system matches the cooling capacity of the chiller to the cooling load while providing state-of-the-art chiller protection. The system controls cooling load within the set point plus the deadband by sensing the leaving chilled water or brine temperature and regulating the inlet guide vane via a mechanically linked actuator motor. The guide vane is a vari- able flow pre-whirl assembly that controls the refrigeration ef- fect in the cooler by regulating the amount of refrigerant vapor flow into the compressor. An increase in guide vane opening increases capacity. A decrease in guide vane opening decreases capacity. The microprocessor-based control center protects the chiller by monitoring the digital and analog inputs and execut- ing capacity overrides or safety shutdowns, if required.

PIC II System Components — The chiller control system is called the PIC II (Product Integrated Control II). See Table 1. The PIC II controls the operation of the chiller by monitoring all operating conditions. The PIC II can diagnose a problem and let the operator know what the problem is and what to check. It promptly positions the guide vanes to main- tain leaving chilled water temperature. It can interface with auxiliary equipment such as pumps and cooling tower fans to turn them on when required. It continually checks all safeties to prevent any unsafe operating condition. It also regulates the oil heater while the compressor is off and regulates the hot gas by- pass valve, if installed. The PIC II controls provide critical pro- tection for the compressor motor and controls the motor starter.

19XR, XRV specifications

The Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers are sophisticated cooling solutions that represent the forefront of HVAC technology. Designed for large commercial and industrial applications, these chillers provide exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and reliability, making them ideal for a variety of environments ranging from hospitals to manufacturing facilities.

One of the most significant features of the Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers is their advanced scroll compressor technology. These units employ a tandem scroll design that enhances efficiency while minimizing operational noise. This makes them ideal for urban environments where noise restrictions may be in place. Moreover, the compressors are equipped with variable speed drive options in the 19XRV model, which allows for greater energy savings by adjusting cooling output based on real-time demand.

In addition to their advanced compressors, the 19XR and 19XRV units incorporate the Carrier GreenChoice refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential compared to traditional refrigerants. This innovative choice not only meets regulatory requirements but also contributes to sustainability goals, making these chillers a responsible choice for environmentally conscious organizations.

The units are engineered with a robust heat exchanger design, which enhances heat transfer efficiency and overall system performance. This ensures optimal operation even in extreme conditions. They feature a microprocessor-based control system that allows for precise monitoring and control of the chiller’s performance, enabling operators to make real-time adjustments to maximize energy efficiency.

The Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers also prioritize serviceability. The design incorporates easy access to key components, simplifying maintenance procedures and reducing downtime. This focus on maintainability extends the lifespan of the equipment, leading to lower lifecycle costs.

In terms of connectivity, these chillers are equipped with advanced Building Management System (BMS) integration capabilities. This allows for seamless monitoring and control of the chillers using a centralized platform, facilitating energy management and operational optimization.

Overall, the Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers stand out in the market for their blend of cutting-edge technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. They are engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern commercial and industrial applications, making them a preferred choice for facility managers seeking reliable cooling solutions.
