Under normal operation, the chiller will maintain a constant leaving fluid temperature approximately equal to the chilled fluid set point. As the cooler load varies, the entering cooler fluid will change in proportion to the load as shown in Fig. 20. Usually the chiller size and leaving-fluid temperature set point are selected based on a full-load condition. At part load, the flu- id temperature set point may be colder than required. If the leaving fluid temperature was allowed to increase at part load, the efficiency of the machine would increase.

Return temperature reset allows for the leaving temperature set point to be reset upward as a function of the return fluid temperature or, in effect, the building load.

Demand Limit — Demand limit is a feature that allows the unit capacity to be limited during periods of peak energy us- age. There are 3 types of demand limiting that can be config- ured. The first type is through 2-stage switch control, which will reduce the maximum capacity to 2 user-configurable percentag- es. The second type is by 4 to 20 mA signal input which will re- duce the maximum capacity linearly between 100% at a 4 mA input signal (no reduction) down to the user-configurable level at a 20 mA input signal. The third type uses the CCN Loadshed module and has the ability to limit the current operating capaci- ty to maximum and further reduce the capacity if required.

NOTE: The 2-stage switch control and 4 to 20-mA input sig- nal types of demand limiting require the energy management module (EMM).

To use demand limit, select the type of demand limiting to use. Then configure the demand limit set points based on the type selected.

DEMAND LIMIT (2-Stage Switch Controlled) — To con- figure demand limit for 2-stage switch control set the Demand Limit Select (ConfigurationRSETDMDC) to 1. Then configure the 2 Demand Limit Switch points (Configura- tionRSETDLS1) and (ConfigurationRSETDLS2) to the desired capacity limit. See Table 27. Capacity steps are controlled by 2 relay switch inputs field wired to TB6 as shown in Fig. 6 and 7.

For demand limit by 2-stage switch control, closing the first stage demand limit contact will put the unit on the first demand limit level. The unit will not exceed the percentage of capacity entered as Demand Limit Switch 1 set point (DLS1). Closing contacts on the second demand limit switch prevents the unit from exceeding the capacity entered as Demand Limit Switch 2 set point. The demand limit stage that is set to the lowest de- mand takes priority if both demand limit inputs are closed. If the demand limit percentage does not match unit staging, the unit will limit capacity to the closest capacity stage.

To disable demand limit configure DMDC to 0. See Table 27.

EXTERNALLY POWERED DEMAND LIMIT (4 to 20 mA Controlled) — To configure demand limit for 4 to 20 mA control set the Demand Limit Select (Configura- tionRSETDMDC) to 2. Then configure the Demand Limit at 20 mA (ConfigurationRSETDM20) to the maximum loadshed value desired. Connect the output from an externally powered 4 to 20 mA signal to terminal block TB6, terminals 1 and 5. Refer to the unit wiring diagram for these connections to the optional/accessory energy management module and terminal block. The control will reduce allowable capacity to this level for the 20 mA signal. See Table 27 and Fig. 21.

CAUTION

Care should be taken when interfacing with other manufac- turer’s control systems, due to possible power supply differences, full wave bridge versus half wave rectification. The two different power supplies cannot be mixed. ComfortLink™ controls use half wave rectification. A sig- nal isolation device should be utilized if a full wave bridge signal generating device is used.
