2.6.2Oil Cooler Fan Control

The Compressor Module temperature is controlled by managing module oil flow and temperature. The module’s precise temperature control is critical to system performance and equipment life. Maintaining proper temperature control also reduces the possibility of gas condensing into liquids during operation.

Cooling fans require 24VDC, 4.5A (105 Watts) x 2 (9A 210W total) for the Compressor Module. Fan speed is controlled by a 0-10VDC control signal that is applied to the yellow lead on the fan terminal strip. Standard Compressor Modules use a nonlinear PTC thermistor to monitor oil temperature and provide a speed signal.

High temperature Compressor Modules use a linear NTC thermistor to monitor oil temperature. This signal is available to support a customer-provided fan speed control circuit.

All power connections are wired to terminal strips in a junction box on the Compressor Module.
