Chapter 4 Cooling tower with two-speed fan example<br />

Reviewing the sequence of operation<br />

In this scenario a cooling tower with a two-speed fan delivers condenser<br />

water to a small chiller plant. The following specifications apply to control<br />

of the cooling tower.<br />

Condenser water pump<br />

When condenser water is requested by the chiller plant, command the<br />

condenser water pump to start. If condenser water flow fails to be confirmed<br />

within 30 seconds, command the pump to stop, indicate a pump<br />

failure at the operator display, and turn on the alarm output. A user must<br />

be able to reset the alarm at the operator display.<br />

Note:<br />

The instructions for writing the condenser water pump module<br />

are not included in this chapter. If you are working through the<br />

book chapter by chapter, you will write this module in<br />

Chapter 5. Otherwise, see “Writing the condenser water pump<br />

module” on page 94.<br />

Cooling tower fan<br />

If condenser water flow is established and if the condenser water temperature<br />

rises 2.5°F above the setpoint, start the fan at low speed. Switch the<br />

fan to high speed if the condenser water temperature rises to 5.0°F above<br />

the setpoint. Turn off the fan when the condenser supply water temperature<br />

falls below the setpoint minus 2.5°F. A minimum 30-second delay is<br />

required between starting the fan at low speed and switching to high<br />

speed.<br />

Sump heater<br />

Turn on the sump heater if the sump temperature falls below 40°F (this<br />

value is adjustable at the operator display). If the outdoor air temperature<br />

falls below 32°F, turn on the sump heater continuously. If the sump<br />

temperature remains below 36°F (this value is adjustable at the operator<br />

display) for 15 minutes, or if the sump temperature falls below 32°F, indicate<br />

an alarm at the operator display and turn on the alarm output.<br />

Alarms<br />

In addition to the alarm requirements mentioned in the previous<br />

sequence of operation components, indicate an alarm at the operator display<br />

and turn on the alarm output when any temperature sensor fails.<br />

Analysis of this scenario results in Figure 47 on page 49. The corresponding<br />

data definition is presented in Table 5 on page 49, and a wiring diagram<br />

is presented in Figure 48 on page 51.<br />
