The PIC II can interface with the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) if desired. It can communicate with other PIC I or PIC II equipped chillers and other CCN devices.

The PIC II consists of 3 modules housed inside 3 major components. The component names and corresponding control voltages are listed below (also see Table 1):

all extra low-voltage wiring (24 v or less)

power panel

230 or 115 v control voltage (per job requirement)

up to 600 v for oil pump power

starter cabinet

chiller power wiring (per job requirement)

CHILLER VISUAL CONTROLLER (CVC) — The CVC is the “brain” of the PIC II. This module contains all the operating software needed to control the chiller. The CVC is mounted to the control panel (Fig. 12) and is the input center for all local chiller set points, schedules, configurable functions, and op- tions. The CVC has a stop button, an alarm light, four buttons for logic inputs, and a backlight display. The backlight will au- tomatically turn off after 15 minutes of non-use. The functions of the four buttons or “softkeys” are menu driven and are shown on the display directly above the softkeys.

The viewing angle of the CVC can be adjusted for optimum viewing. Remove the 2 bolts connecting the control panel to the brackets attached to the cooler. Place them in one of the holes to pivot the control panel forward to backward to change the viewing angle. See Fig. 12. To change the contrast of the display, access the adjustment on the back of the CVC. See Fig. 12.

INTERNATIONAL CHILLER VISUAL CONTROLLER (ICVC) — Incorporates all of the functions and operating soft- ware of the CVC with the added feature of 4 factory pro- grammed languages:

English (default) Chinese Japanese Korean

NOTE: Pressing any one of the four softkey buttons will acti- vate the backlight display without implementing a softkey function.

INTEGRATED STARTER MODULE (ISM) — This mod- ule is located in the starter cabinet. This module initiates com- mands from the CVC/ICVC for starter functions such as start- ing and stopping the compressor, condenser, chilled water pumps, tower fan, spare alarm contacts, and the shunt trip. The ISM monitors starter inputs such as line voltage, motor current,

ground fault, remote start contact, spare safety, condenser high pressure, oil pump interlock, starter 1M, and run contacts. The ISM contains logic capable of safety shutdown. It shuts down the chiller if communications with the CVC/ICVC are lost. The ISM can also act as the interface for PIC II to the VFD controller.

CHILLER CONTROL MODULE (CCM) — This module is located in the control panel. The CCM provides the input and outputs necessary to control the chiller. This module monitors refrigerant pressure, entering and leaving water temperatures, and outputs control for the guide vane actuator, oil heaters, and oil pump. The CCM is the connection point for optional de- mand limit, chilled water reset, remote temperature reset, re- frigerant leak sensor and motor kilowatt output.

OIL HEATER CONTACTOR (1C) — This contactor is lo- cated in the power panel (Fig. 13) and operates the heater at either 115 or 230 v. It is controlled by the PIC II to maintain oil temperature during chiller shutdown. The XR4 with split ring diffuser has a line voltage oil heater. Refer to the control panel wiring schematic.

OIL PUMP CONTACTOR (2C) — This contactor is located in the power panel. It operates all 200 to 575-v oil pumps. The PIC II energizes the contactor to turn on the oil pump as necessary.

HOT GAS BYPASS CONTACTOR RELAY (3C) (Optional) — This relay, located in the power panel, controls the opening of the hot gas bypass valve. The PIC II energizes the relay during low load, high lift conditions.

CONTROL TRANSFORMERS (T1, T2) — These transform- ers convert incoming control voltage to 24 vac power for the 3 power panel contactor relays, CCM, and CVC/ICVC.

OPTIONAL TRANSFORMER (T3) — This transformer pro- vides control power to Dataport™/DataLINK™ modules.

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.
