Temperature Reset Based on Return Fluid Temperature Ð The control system is capable of providing leaving ¯uid tem- perature reset based on return ¯uid temperature. Because the temperature difference between leaving and return tempera- ture is a measure of the building load, return ¯uid tempera- ture reset is essentially an average building load reset method.

Under normal operation, the chiller maintains a constant leaving ¯uid temperature approximately equal to chilled fluid set point. As building load drops from 100% down to 0%, entering cooler ¯uid temperature drops in proportion to load. Thus, temperature drop across the cooler drops from a typi- cal 10 F (5.5 C) at full load to a theoretical 0° F (0° C) at no load. See Fig. 5.

At partial load, leaving chilled ¯uid temperature may be lower than required. If this is allowed to increase (reset), the efficiency of the chiller increases. Amount of reset can be de®ned as a function of cooler temperature drop, as shown in Fig. 5. This is a simple linear function that requires 3 pieces of input data for the set function that will vary de- pending on measurement method used as follows (see Table 11):

NOTE: Reset set points are not accessible unless the reset function is enabled ®rst. This is done as a ®eld

con®guration. Select one of the 4 choices for type of reset: Return Fluid Reset, External Temperature Reset, 4-20 mA External Signal Reset, or 4-20 mA Internal Signal Reset.

If dual set point control is enabled (see Field Wiring sec- tion on page 69), the amount of reset is applied to whichever set point is in effect at the time.

Examples 5A-5C demonstrate how to activate reset. Ex- ample 6 demonstrates how to change the type of reset. As- sume that reset is to be based on return ¯uid temperature, the desired reset range is to be 0° to 10° F (0° to 5.5° C) and full load is a 10° F (5.5° C) drop across the cooler. See Fig. 5.

Activating reset based on external temperature or 4-20 mA signal is done the same way, except the reference set point range is ±40° to 240° F (±40° to 115° C), or 4 to 20 mA depending on which method was selected at the ®eld con®guration step.

Example 5A Ð External Reset

In this example, the unit set point is reset from full load at 90 F (32 C) to a maximum reset value of 10 F (5.5 C) at 20 F (±6.7 C) outdoor ambient.

NOTE: All temperatures given in this example are in F.
