The suction valve prevents reverse rotation.• Replaceable core liquid line filter-drier and sight glass/moisture indicator are standard.Refrigerant Compatibility• Designed to operate with environmentally safe and economically smart HCFC-22 with proven efficiencyand reliability.• Consult factory for use with alternate refrigerants.4


DESIGN FEATURES: DIRECT DRIVE TWIN-ROTOR SCREW COMPRESSORS○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○Compressor AssemblyTherotary compressor is a positivedisplacement helical-axial design for use with highpressure refrigerants.• The compressor consists of two intermeshinghelical grooved rotors in a stationary housingwith suction and discharge gas ports.• Uniform gas flow, even torque and positivedisplacement, all provided by pure rotarymotion, contribute to vibration-free operationover a wide range of operating conditions.Intake and discharge cycles overlap effectively,producing a smooth, continuous flow of gas.Simplified Capacity ControlThe slide valve mechanism for capacity modulation andpart load operation is an outstanding feature:• Slide valve unloading provides the most efficientpart load unloading of any type of screwcompressor unloading.• Moving parts are simple, rugged and troublefree. The slide mechanism is hydrostaticallysupported with aid from a pressurized oilsupply.• Package capacity reduction can be as low as20% without HGBP by progressive movementof the slide valve.• Capacity reduction is programmed by anexclusive electronically initiated, hydraulicallyactuated control arrangement.• Any degree of part-load capacity at any headcondition can be accepted without duress forany period of time. The screw compressoractually operates cooler at partload conditions.Thrust BearingsEach rotor is fitted with a pair of preloaded, duplexmounted angular contact thrust bearings.These bearings are designed to safely carry thrust ineither direction at or near zero thrust loads. Additionallythe bearing races are mechanically locked to assure thatouter race rotation does not occur.Through the use of hydraulic counterbalancearrangements, the thrust bearings carry only a smallportion of the total thrust generated. This combinedsystem for carrying the thrust load is not affected byemergencies such as power outage, low oil pressuretrip-out or similar incidents.Main Journal BearingsHeavy duty, steel backed, field replaceable/serviceablebearings are conservatively loaded even at maximumoperating conditions. These bearings are center fed andsupplied with lubricant by an independently driven oilpump. Start-up lubrication is provided and “coastdown” lubrication is not required as the screwcompressor stops within a matter of seconds.RotorsThe latest <strong>Dunham</strong>-<strong>Bush</strong> patented asymmetrical designrotor profiles assure operation at highest efficiencies.Rotors are precision machined from AISI 1141 bar stockand dynamically balanced.CastingsCastings are manufactured with high grade, highdensity cast iron, externally ribbed for structural stabilityand efficient heat dissipation. Also, the cast ironprovides a high degree of noise reduction.Shaft SealA bellows type balanced shaft seal effectively seals thedrive rotor and provides a long operating life.6


DESIGN FEATURES: DIRECT DRIVE TWIN-ROTOR SCREW COMPRESSORS (CONT.)○○A. B. C.D.Compressor OperationNote: For clarity reasons, the following account of thecompressor operation will be limited to one lobe onthe male rotor and one interlobe space on the femalerotor. In actual operation, as the rotors revolve, all ofthe male lobes and female interlobe spaces interactsimilarly with resulting uniform, non-pulsating gas flow.Suction PhaseAs a lobe of the male rotor begins to unmesh from aninterlobe space in the female rotor, a void is createdand gas is drawn in tangentially through the inlet port- Fig. A. As the rotors continue to turn, the interlobespace increases in size - Fig. B, and gas flowscontinuously into the compressor. Before the point atwhich the interlobe space leaves the inlet port, the entirelength of the interlobe space is completely filled withdrawn-in gas - Fig. C.Compression PhaseAs rotation continues, the gas in the interlobe space iscarried circumferentially around the compressorhousing. Further rotation meshes a male lobe with theinterlobe space on the suction end and squeezes(compresses) the gas in the direction of the dischargeport. Thus the occupied volume of the trapped gaswithin the interlobe space is decreased and the gaspressure consequently increased.Discharge PhaseAt a point determined by the designed “built-in” volumeratio, the discharge port is uncovered and thecompressed gas is discharged by further meshing ofthe lobe and interlobe space - Fig. D. While the meshingpoint of a pair of lobes is moving axially, the next chargeis being drawn into the unmeshed portion and theworking phases of the compressor cycle are repeated.SLIDE VALVEFULLY CLOSEDFULL CAPACITYOUTLETFACEINLETFACEOUTLETFACESLIDE VALVEPARTIALLY OPENINLETFACEROTORHOUSINGROTORHOUSINGCapacity Control SystemFIGURE ASlide valve/rotor housing inlet endFigures A & B show the capacity control slide valvewithin the rotor housing. Axial movement of this valveis programmed by an exclusiveelectrically initiated (by variations in leaving chilled watertemperature) hydraulically actuated controlarrangement. When the compressor is fully loaded,the slide valve is in the closed position (Figure A).Unloading starts when the valve is moved back awayfrom the valve stop (Figure B). Movement of the valveFIGURE BSlide valve/rotor housing inlet endcreates an opening in the bottom of the rotor housing.Suction gas can then pass back from the rotor housingto the inlet port area before it has been compressed.Since no significant amount of work has been done onthis return gas, no appreciable power use is incurred.Reduced compressor capacity is obtained from the gasremaining in the rotors which is compressed in theordinary manner. Capacity reduction down to 20% offull load is possible by progressive movement of theslide valve away from the valve stop.7

WYE Delta starters utilizespecial wound motors that can be connected to the "Y"pattern for reduced starting torque. In the "Y"configuration, each set of phase windings is broughttogether at a common point. This increases the impedanceof the motor itself, reducing the current and torque to33% of normal. Three contactors and a timer are used toswitch the six leads brought out of the motor into the Y-then-Delta configuration in a two-step starting process."Closed Transition" WYE Delta starters utilize shunt resistersin the circuit during the transition phase of starting toprevent motor stalls or current spikes.

This valuable enhancement to the chiller systemallows the ultimate in serviceability. The microcomputeris equipped with history files as standard which recordsa history that may be retrieved via the phone modemperiodically. Now owners of multiple buildings have asimple and inexpensive method of investigatingpotential problems quickly and in a highly cost effectivemanner.Remote Monitoring and OperatingTerminalsThere are four methods of remote monitoring andoperating our package chillers.1) RMDT - Remote Monitor DisplayTerminalThe RMDT (Remote Monitor Display Terminal) can behard wired up to 50 feet away from the chiller orconnected thru a modem for remote monitoring andoperating of up to three chillers. The RMDT is suppliedwith a 14" monitor, two RS232 serial ports, a 6 foot115 volt power cord and an enhanced PC keyboard.This option allows remote start-stop, chilled water setpointchanges, and reading of all microcomputerscreens including operating conditions, faults and faulthistory.2) IBM PC Compatible Computer TerminalA customer's IBM PC Compatible computer withcommunication software installed (simple terminal) caninterface with the chiller in the same manner as theRMDT (Remote Monitor Display Terminal). Again, thismethod of communication interfaces with the chillermicrocomputer CPU and provides the same level ofcommunication.3) BMS - Building Management SystemTerminalA BMS (Building Management Systems) may interfacewith the chiller microcomputer and provide the samelevel of monitoring and operating control as above,when the BMS company has implemented thecommunications protocol.has an open communicationsprotocol policy with most BMS companies.15

This has been evidentin the past with the publication of our network protocol,and now once again through our interoperability withBACnet. In addition to BACnet, the modular design ofour ChillerLINK also supports Modbus protocol. Consultwith <strong>Dunham</strong>-<strong>Bush</strong> to verify compatibility with otherprotocols.’s ChillerLINK is a microprocessorbasedcommunication device designed to provideseamless, two-way translation between a <strong>Dunham</strong>-<strong>Bush</strong>microcomputer and a BACnet or MODBUS compliantnetwork or work station. ChillerLINK devices can beset for two Data Link/Physical Layer configurations:1. PTP (point-to-point) via EIA-232 standard2. EIA-485 standard for 2-wire or 4-wire systemsIn addition to providing seamless interoperability withBACnet or MODBUS systems, ChillerLINK can be speciallydesigned for full custom programmability of the dataflowing between the <strong>Dunham</strong>-<strong>Bush</strong>/BACnet/MODBUSnetworks.16


DESIGN FEATURES: PART-LOAD PERFORMANCE○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○<strong>IPCX</strong> Rotary Screw Water <strong>Chillers</strong>possess superior part-load performance characteristics.This is accomplished with the infinite capacity controlcapability of the slide valve equipped compressor.Actual process loads are significantly less than full loaddesign conditions, therefore chillers operate at full loadfor only a fraction of the operating time.<strong>IPCX</strong> Rotary Screw Water <strong>Chillers</strong>combine the efficient operation of the rotary screwcompressor with finite refrigerant management andmicroprocessor control to yield the best total energyefficiency and significant operating savings under anyload.When specifying process cooling equipment it isimportant to consider the system load characteristicsof the process application. In a typical city, the airconditioning load will vary according to changes in theambient temperature. Weather data compiled overmany years will predict the number of hours thatequipment will operate at various load percentages.The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI)has established a system, in ARI 550/590-98, formeasuring total chiller performance over full and partloadconditions. The Integrated Part-Load Value (IPLV)is an excellent method of comparing diverse types ofequipment on an equal basis. The IPLV is a singlenumber estimate of a chiller’s power use weighted forthe number of hours the unit might spend at eachpart-load point. IPLV’s are based on Standard ARI RatingConditions.For COP and EER:IPLVorNPLVFor kW/ton:= 0.01A+0.42B+0.45C+0.12D (1a)where: A = COP or EER at 100%B = COP or EER at 75%C = COP or EER at 50%D = COP or EER at 25%IPLVor =10.01 0.42 0.45 0.12+ + +A B C DNPLVwhere: A = kW/ton at 100%B = kW/ton at 75%C = kW/ton at 50%D = kW/ton at 25%(1b)Non-Standard Part-Load Values (NPLV) also give asingle number estimate for the part-load performanceof a chiller but at Selected Application RatingConditions.Integrated Part-Load Values and Application Part-LoadValues are available from your <strong>Dunham</strong>-<strong>Bush</strong>Representative and will be calculated for your specificconditions. These points, as well as the full loadselection point, are all covered under the ARI LargeTonnage Certification Program for Centrifugal andRotary Screw Water-Chilling Packages.17

INSTALLATION DATA○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○Chilled Water FlowThe<strong>IPCX</strong> Packaged Water Chilleris designed for a constant chilled water flow rate evenwhen the cooling load is varying. The machine willgenerally perform satisfactorily with steady flow ratesdeviating from design by as much as +10% to -50%.However, varying water flow rates can cause controlinstability which will result in undesirable system effects,particularly poor control of leaving chilled watertemperature. If two-way valves are used to control flowthrough cooling coils, some means such as an automaticmodulating valve should be provided in the system tomaintain steady flow through the cooler.Multiple Unit ControlOne of the most perplexing problems to systemdesigners is control of multiple chillers on the samewater loop. The first decision is whether to put thechillers in parallel or series on the chilled water side. Iflower pumping cost is paramount, then putting chillersin series is often preferable. If primary/secondarypumping is utilized with normal 10°F (6°C) range, thenputting chillers in parallel is normally used. In eithercase, themicrocomputer (withspecial programming) can control up to three chillers.This eliminates the need for external control interfacewhich often becomes difficult. Contact the factory ifmore than three chillers need to be networked.Condensing Water TreatmentCondensing water tends to leave silt, algae and mineraldeposits in the condenser tubes. This fouling graduallydecreases unit efficiency. For this reason, a program ofwater treatment should be employed. Also, at regularintervals depending an water quality, the unit shouldbe shut down, condenser heads removed and tubescleaned.FoundationA flat, level concrete foundation or floor capable ofsupporting the weight of the unit must be provided.The unit must be levelled to within 1/16 inch per foot(1.6mm per 30.5cm) for proper operation.Vibration IsolationWhere structure-borne vibration may be of concern, itis recommended that the unit be mounted on vibrationisolators. Spring isolators are available for this unit asoptional equipment. If spring isolators are installed, itis also necessary to provide isolation in condenser waterand chilled water pipes by means of flexible connectorsand in main power supply conduit through use offlexible conduit. Isolation of piping and electricalconduit is desirable in any event to avoid noisetransmission.Location and Installation Suggestions<strong>IPCX</strong> Packaged <strong>Chillers</strong> are typically designed forindoor application. Proper locations and installationprocedures for this equipment are very important forsuccessful trouble free operation. It is desirable to installthese units with sufficient service space on all sides ofthe unit. Tube cleaning and unit servicing requireconsiderable space at the ends of the units as shown inthe dimensional outline section of this catalog.Compressor and motor servicing require space at therear of the unit. NEC and Local Codes require a minimumof 36 to 48 inches in front of the unit depending onthe application location.Equipment Location and Unit SecurityThe <strong>IPCX</strong> is a quiet operating chiller but soundsensitivity should be considered when locating thisequipment. Equipment and equipment rooms need tobe located in areas of the building that will not disturbsurrounding occupied spaces. Equipment rooms canbe acoustically designed for sound sensitive installationsto minimize sound transmission into occupied spaces.It is suggested that an acoustical Engineer be consultedon critical sound and vibration applications before,rather than after, the equipment is installed. Unitsecurity and personal safety should also be consideredwhen locating this equipment. All state and local soundand safety codes should be considered when laying outor installing mechanical equipment.Cooler - Freeze ProtectionThe leaving water sensor mounted on the Cooler willshut down the unit if a cooler freeze condition shouldoccur. A water flow switch must be supplied andmounted in the water piping to protect the unit fromlow or no flow, which can cause cooler freezing.Electrical Connection OptionsAll wiring must be done in accordance with the NationalElectric Code (NEC) and all local and state codes. Acomplete set of wiring diagrams for all units is availablefrom ourSales Representative. Theunit will be shipped with wiring diagrams located inthe electrical panel.20

Maximum—LCFT (Leaving Chilled FluidTemperature) is 50°F (10°C). The unit can start andpull down with up to 90°F (32.2°C) entering watertemperature.2. Minimum—LCFT is 38°F (3.3°C) for all unit modelsbeing applied to water applications using standardcoolers. Consult factory for other operatingconditions below 38°F (3.3°C) using alternatecooling fluids.3a. Two Pass Flooded Coolers are considered Standardand are used for most Air Conditioning and ProcessApplications. They have a chilled fluid temperaturedifference range from 8° to 14°F (4.4° to 7.8°C).Consult factory for all special applications.3b. Single Pass DX Coolers are used for NarrowTemperature Range Applications, and have a chilledfluid temperature difference range from 3° to 10°F(1.7° to 5.6°C). Consult factory for specialapplications.4. Wide Range - Low Flow Chiller Operation can beaccomplished with a by-pass recirculation methodof piping, to allow the chiller to operate withacceptable flow rates as shown in Figure 26A. Thisis a suggested arrangement and special engineeringof piping, valving, and sensor locations is requiredto ensure proper operation.5. For Extra Narrow and Wide Range Applications,a by-pass piping arrangement can be used similarto Figure 26B. This is a suggested arrangement andspecial engineering of piping, valving, and sensorlocations is required to ensure proper operation.21

This “System Inertia Problem” is exaggeratedat low load conditions and causes chiller to short cycle.The small fluid volume in the system will be pulled downto setpoint in a very short period of time, and the chillerwill be shut down. The chiller's anti-recycle timer limitsthe number of starts to three per hour. The system looptemperature will warm up during this off cycle and mayrequire cooling before the anti- recycle timer has timedout. Once the anti-recycle timer has timed out the unitwill re-start and the chiller will again load up possiblyto 100% and pull the loop down again repeating theshort cycle pattern.The System Loop Volume should be sized to limit thetemperature rise that can occur during the off cycle.Air Conditioning ApplicationsThe chilled fluid loop volume must be at least 3 gallonsper nominal ton of cooling (3.25 L per kW).Process & Special Air Conditioning ApplicationsWhere leaving fluid temperature is often more critical,the chilled fluid loop volume should be increased to 10to 15 gallons per ton (10.8 to 16.2 L per KW).COOLERTEMPERATURESENSORSFLUID - OUTCONTACT FACTORY FOR ADDITIONAL SENSORAND CONTROL SCHEMEFLUID INCOOLER3. Series Chiller Applications (Figure 22B). Where alarge temperature range is required (generally over15°F [8.4°C]), the chiller may be piped in series. Ifload balancing is not required, the units arecontrolled independently. Chiller Number 1 willoperate up to full load when the systemrequirements are within its capability.If load balancing is required, special programmingand interconnecting wiring are required. The loadis progressive by temperature so the chillerselections are critical.Figure 22BMultiple <strong>Chillers</strong> Per Chilled Water System1. Where the load is greater than one can supply orwhere standby capacity is required or the loadprofile dictates, multiple chillers may be piped inparallel. Units of equal size help to ensure fluidflow balance, but balancing valves ensure balancedflows even with dissimilar chillers. Temperaturecontroller sensors may or may not need to bemoved to the common fluid piping depending onthe specific application.COOLERNo. 2TEMPERATURESENSORTEMPERATURESENSORCOOLERNo. 12.

Oversizing causes energy inefficiencyand shortened compressor life due to excessivecompressor cycling. Larger future load requirementsmay cause temporary oversizing of equipment whichwill require careful unit selection. It may be better toproperly size for the present load and add another unitlater for future expansion. It is also recommended usingmultiple units where operation at minimum load iscritical. Fully loaded equipment operates better andmore efficiently than large equipment running at ornear minimum capacity.Hot gas bypass should not be a means to allowoversizing of chillers. Hot gas bypass should only beused where the equipment is sized properly for fullload but the load turn down is less than the minimumunloading capacity available.Water (Fluid) StrainersIt is recommended that 40-mesh strainers be installedin the fluid piping as close to unit cooler as possible toprevent plugging or damage to the tubes.Cooling Tower Control and CondenserApplication Design DataCooling Tower and Head Pressure Control isimperative for proper trouble free chiller operation.There are several methods of tower and head pressurethat we will discuss below.Condenser Water Temperature should never go below60°F (15.6°C) and its rate of change should not be rapid.Rapid is defined as not exceeding 2°F (1.1°C) per minute.If this cannot be guaranteed, then other controls suchas tower dampers, tower sump heater, 3-way towerbypass valve, 2-way tower throttling valve or variablespeed condenser pumping must be utilized. This isnecessary because a chiller operates in a dynamicenvironment and is designed to maintain a preciseleaving chilled water temperature under varyingentering conditions. The additional dynamics of rapidlyvarying condenser water temperature subjects themachine to fluctuating pressure differentials across thecooler and condenser. This varies the refrigerant flowand, therefore, the capacity and efficiency of the chiller.If this occurs faster than the machine canaccommodate, the head pressure or suction pressurewill soon exceed their safety setpoints and the machinewill shut down. Through an optional analog outputboard, the microcomputer can control the bypass orthrottling valve directly from condenser pressure, bysending a 0 to 10 VDC signal to a direct current, valvemotor actuator.Themicrocomputer can provide adigital signal to enable the control circuit of the tower.Condenser Water Regulating Valves are a desirablemethod of head pressure control, because they responddirectly to changes in head pressure and provide themost stable method of head pressure control. Stablehead pressure control allows the chiller to operate atthe best efficiency for the load conditions. Regulatingvalves can be supplied as an option. These can beshipped loose or factory mounted and piped.Cooling Tower and Head Pressure Control can beattained via fan cycling if the tower is rated at the samecapacity as the chiller, and the machine will operate atdesign conditions under heavy load. On multiple chillerinstallations, a single tower may be sized, for a multipleof the individual chillers. If this is true and only onemachine is running, the tower is then oversized, relativeto the individual chiller needs, and head pressurecontrol becomes a challenge. On other installations,the tower/chiller might be oversized to the design loadand the machine and tower frequently cycle under lightloads. Under these conditions, fan cycling might resultin very rapid temperature swings, which creates adynamic situation that occurs faster than the chillercontrol system can accommodate. Variable speed fansor modulating valve control should be used to maintainsystem stability.Fan Cycling Tower Control is one method of headpressure control, but this type of control does not workfor all systems. We recommend that the condenserwater pump control through the unit interlock, in thechiller control panel, be used to enable and disablethe condenser water pumps. We further recommendthat the designer carefully evaluate the system todetermine a precise method of tower fan and waterpump temperature control for the most efficientmethod of head pressure control.1. Minimum—ECWT (Entering Condenser WaterTemperature) is 60°F (15.6°C) to start the unit, andmaintain head pressure control for proper unitoperation. The water temperature change ratemust be less than 2°F (1.1°C) per minute to assureproper chiller operating stability. This is necessarybecause it operates in a dynamic environment.Head pressure through water regulating controlvalves or bypass piping should be used where lowerECWT is expected.23

Maximum—ECWT (Entering Condenser WaterTemperature) is 95°F (35°C) without loss of unitcapacity or potential high condensing temperature/pressure shutdown. The water temperature changerate must be less than 2°F (1.1°C) per minute toassure proper chiller operating stability. For highercondenser entering water temperature, consult thefactory.3. Unit Operating Efficiency and trouble freeoperation is greatly influenced by the enteringcondenser water temperature, proper flow, and themean temperature of the condenser water.4. Wide Condenser Water Temperature Ranges forunits operating with 95° ECWT (35°C) and higher,and wider than 10°F (5.6°C) range, increases theunit condensing temperature and decreases theunit efficiency. This situation is usually found inapplications with undersized condenser watertowers.Glycol Freeze ProtectionIf the chiller or fluid piping may be exposed totemperatures below freezing, glycol protection isrecommended if the water is not drained. Therecommended protection is 10°F (5.6°C) below theminimum ambient temperature in the equipment roomand around piping. Use only glycol solutions approvedfor heat exchanger duty. DO NOT use automotive antifreeze.If the equipment is being used for applications below38°F (3.3°C), glycol should be used to prevent freezedamage. The freeze protection level should be 10°F(5.6°C) lower than the leaving brine temperature.Consult factory for use with other low temperaturefluids.5. Narrow Condenser Water TemperatureRanges are desirable for unit efficiency, because itreduces the mean condensing temperature.Table 24ATable 24BEthylene GlycolFREEZE POINT% E.G.By Mass °F °C10 26.2 -3.215 22.2 -5.320 17.9 -7.925 12.7 -10.830 6.7 -14.135 -0.2 -17.840 -8.1 -25.845 -17.5 -27.550 -28.9 -33.8Propylene GlycolFREEZE POINT% P.G.by Mass °F °C10 26.1 -3.315 22.9 -5.120 19.2 -7.225 14.7 -9.730 9.2 -12.835 2.4 -16.640 -6.0 -21.345 -16.1 -27.050 -28.3 -33.824

TYPICAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○TheRotary Screw Water Chillerdepends on its on-board microcomputer for control.For initial start-up, the following conditions must bemet:• Chilled fluid pump running• Chilled fluid flow switch made• Customer control contact closed• Control and compressor switches on• Main system voltage turned on• All safety conditions satisfied• Reset pressed on microcomputer keypad• Compressor has not started within the last 20minutes• Leaving chilled fluid temperature 2°F(1°C) ormore above set point• Oil sump temperature is greater than 70°F(21°C)The microcomputer starts the oil pump by energizing4CP (control point). If capacity indicator is below 8%and a minimum of 27 psid (186 kPa) oil pressure isestablished, seconds later the microcomputer signals2CR (control ready) which starts the compressor motor.When the compressor starts, the microcomputermonitors leaving water temperature, ramp schedule,and load limiting to control load and unload solenoids.The refrigerant level sensor and discharge temperatureare used to control the refrigerant modulating motor.When minimum compressor capacity exceeds systemload and water temperature falls below set point, thecompressor and oil pump are shut down.The control system is composed of severalmicrocomputer boards, a display board and analog anddigital sensors. The display board has a 20-key keypadand a 2 x 40 LCD display. The keypad and display canbe used to determine the status of the compressor, oilpump, and refrigeration system. Various set points canalso be displayed and altered.The status of the machine can also be monitored by acomputer terminal either locally or remotely by amodem. The terminal must be able to handle RS232communications.The microcomputer controls the leaving watertemperature within a narrow dead band by pulsing loadand/or unload solenoids on the compressor. The loadand unload solenoids position the compressor’s slidevalve to control the capacity. The microcomputerdetermines a desired level of loading and varies pulseduration depending on the difference between loadtarget and actual load. The load target is varied basedon rate of approach to desired temperature (derivativecontrol) preventing significant temperature oscillations.The current limit functions override the temperaturecontrol.When a maximum desired current is specified by amplimit, the compressor will not load above that point. Ifthe amps rise above the limit set point, the computerwill send an unload signal to the compressor until thecurrent drops below the set point.Another feature of the microcomputer is ramp control,which is the ability to vary load time of the packagefrom start. The user can program the computer so thatit loads at a pre-determined rate. Two variables areused to define the ramp profile: Ramp Rate and StartPoint. Ramp rate defines the length of time the unittakes to load from start point to full load. Start point isthe point of full load at which the ramp begins.When optional hot gas bypass has been supplied, anoutput from the computer controls the solenoid. Thesolenoid is turned on if the target percent capacity ofthe compressor drops below the hot gas bypass setpoint. If the target percent capacity then climbs abovethe hot gas bypass set point, the solenoid is turned off.If desired, the chilled water temperature can be(optionally) raised by a 0-5 VDC analog signal providedby an external controller. The reset signal must bebetween 0 VDC and 5 VDC, with 0 VDC being no resetand 5 VDC being maximum reset. The maximumtemperature reset (increase) desired must be stored inCWR MAX. For example, to raise the chilled water setpoint from 44°F (6.7°C) to 50°F(10°C) with a 5 VDC input,6.0(3.3) is stored in CWR MAX.If (optional) demand limiting is desired, a 0 to 5 VDCsignal must be supplied to the Demand Limit terminalsshown on the wiring diagram. Supplying 0 volts willhave no effect, and 5 volts will have maximum limiting.The demand limit works automatically by lowering theHOLD and UNLOAD amp limits for the compressor. Thisdoes not change the amp limit set points.If the condenser water control option is furnished, theanalog output signal is changed based on dischargepressure. If below the set point (typically 160 psig), theoutput will stay at OVDC. As pressure rises above theset point, the voltage increases linearly until the outputreaches maximum (5VDC or 10VDC) at the high set point(typically 190 psig).36
