LOW AMBIENT CONDENSER FAN CONTROL

LOW AMBIENT CONDENSER FAN CONTROL

For unit operation below 25°F (-3.9°C) a low ambient kit is required. The kit consists of a discharge pressure transducer(s) and reversing contactors.

With the low ambient kit installed and the unit pro- grammed for low ambient operation, the condenser fans will operate as shown in Tables 41 and 42.

FORM 150.62-NM1

Again, notice that condenser fan operation can be pro- grammed for either “temperature and discharge pres- sure control,” or “discharge pressure control only” as described under Condenser Fan Control.

The fan control on-pressure (ctrl_press) and the fan def- erential off-pressure (diff_press) are programmable un- der the PROGRAM key.
