Total Cap. (Total Unit Capacity) and Cir. Cap. (Circuit Capacity)are approximate percentage values.2. Example is to determine minimum load control, staged circuitloading, and automatic circuit select.The capacity control algorithm runs every 30 seconds. Thealgorithm attempts to maintain the Control Point at the desiredset point. Each time it runs, the control reads the entering andleaving fluid temperatures. The control determines the rate atwhich conditions are changing and calculates 2 variables basedon these conditions. Next, a capacity ratio (SM2) is calculatedusing the 2 variables to determine whether or not to make anychanges to the current stages of capacity. This ratio valueranges from –100 to +100%. If the next stage of capacity is acompressor, the control starts (stops) a compressor when theratio reaches +100% (–100%). If the next stage of capacityis the Minimum Load Control, the control energizes (deenergizes)the Minimum Load Control when the ratio reaches+60% (–60%). If installed, the minimum load valve solenoidwill be energized with the first stage of capacity. The controlwill also use the minimum load valve solenoid as the last stageof capacity before turning off the last compressor. If the closecontrol feature (Configuration→UNIT→HGBP=2) is enabledthe control will use the minimum load valve solenoidwhenever possible to fine tune leaving fluid temperature control.A delay of 90 seconds occurs after each capacity stepchange with Minimum Load Control. A delay of 3 minutes occursafter each compressor capacity step change.BRINE CHILLER OPERATION — For chiller sizes 120 to390 with the factory-installed brine option, discharge and liquidline solenoids are added to all circuits (Circuit B only forsize 120). The control system must be correctly configured forproper operation. The minimum load valve option must be enabled(Configuration→UNIT→HGBP=1) and the fluid typemust be set to medium temperature brine (Configuration→SERV→FLUD=2). The discharge and liquid line solenoidvalves are wired in parallel so they will both open and close atthe same time. The main function of the solenoid valves is toisolate a portion of the condenser section when only a singlecompressor is running to allow for proper oil return to the compressors.A chart showing solenoid operation is shown below:CIRCUIT CAPACITYAll compressors offOne compressor startingTwo or more compressorsrunningReduction from two to onecompressor runningDISCHARGE/LIQUID SOLENOIDVALVE OPERATIONSolenoids energizedSolenoids deenergized after30-second delaySolenoids energizedSolenoids deenergized with nodelayCAPACITY CONTROL OVERRIDES — The following capacitycontrol overrides (Run Status→VIEW→CAP.S) willmodify the normal operation routine.
