Product data

d. Uponrequestto startthe compressor,thecon-
trol system shall start the chilled water pump,
condenser water pumps, and tower fans, if
appropriate, and verify that flows have been
established. The controller shall then com-
pare the entering/leaving chilled water tem-
perature with the chilled water set point. If
the chilled water temperature is less than the
chilled water set point plus a specified dead-
band, the control system will shut down the
condenser water pump and tower fans and
wait for the cooling load to be established.
e. A user-configurable ramp loading rate, effec-
tive during the chilled water temperature pull-
down period, shall control the rate of slide
valve opening to prevent a rapid increase in
compressor power consumption. The con-
trols shall allow configuration of the ramp
loadingrate ineither degrees/minuteof chilled
water temperature pulldown or percent mo-
tor amps/minute. During the ramp loading
period, a message shall be displayed inform-
ing the operator that the chiller is operating
in ramp loading mode.
f. The chiller controls shall be supplied as stan-
dard with a two chiller lead/lag and a third
chiller standby system. The control system
shall automatically start and stop a lag or sec-
ond chiller on a two chiller system. If one of
the two chillers on line goes into fault mode,
the third or standby chiller shall be controlled
as a lag chiller. The two chiller lead/lag sys-
tem shall allow manual rotation of the lead
chiller and a staggered restart of the chillers
after a power failure. Sequencing shall be
based on leaving or entering chiller water
temperature.
g. The control system shall include compressor
runtimetimers toprotect themotor fromrapid
cycling (a 15-minute minimum start-to-start
timer and a 1-minute minimum stop-to-start
timer). In addition, the compressor will be in-
hibited from restarting if more than 8 manual
starts within a 12-hour period have occurred.
h. The control system shall automatically shut
down the compressor to minimize energy us-
age whenever the leaving chilled water tem-
perature is5F(3C)below the desired chilled
water set point or the chilled water tempera-
ture is below its set point and the chilled wa-
tertemperaturedifference is less than a speci-
fied value. The chilled water pump will re-
main on, and when the leaving chilled water
temperature rises above the set point by a
user-configuredamount,thecompressor shall
automaticallyrestart. Duringthe shutdown pe-
riod, a message shall be displayed informing
the operator a recycle restart is pending.
i. The control center shall monitor line voltage,
and if loss of voltage, high or low line volt-
age, or single cycle dropout is sensed, the
chiller shall shut down. Upon restoration of
line voltage, if the auto-restart after power
failure algorithm is enabled, the chiller shall
automatically resume the mode of operation
prior to shutdown.
j. The control system shall allow configuration
of reset of the chilled water temperature set
point based on any one of the following
criteria:
Chilled water reset based on water tem-
perature rise across the evaporator.
Chilled water reset based on an external
4-20 mA signal.
Chilled water reset based on a remote tem-
perature sensor (such as outdoor air).
When reset is active, a message shall be dis-
played indicating the type of reset in effect.
k. The control center shall limit amp draw of
the compressor to the rated load amps (RLA)
or to a lower value (ranging from 40% to
100%) of compressor RLA. The control cen-
ter shall allow configuration of demand limit
based on either a user input or an external
4-20 mA signal. When demand limit is ac-
tive, a message shall be displayed indicating
the source of the demand signal.
STATUS FUNCTION
Inaddition to thedefault screen, statusscreens
shall be accessible to view the status of every
point monitored by the control center
including:
Evaporator pressure
Condenser pressure
Compressor discharge temperature
Motor winding temperature
Number of compressor starts
Control point settings
Discrete output status of various devices
Compressor motor starter status
Optional spare input channels (16
maximum)
SCHEDULE FUNCTION
The chiller controls shall be configurable for
manual or automatic start-up and shutdown.
In automatic operation mode, the controls
shall be capable of automatically starting and
stopping the chilleraccordingtoastoreduser
programmableoccupancy schedule. The con-
trols shall include built-in provisions for ac-
cepting a minimum of three, 365-day occu-
pancyschedules, (the local time schedule shall
be Schedule 01, the ice build time schedule
shall be Schedule 02, and the CCN default
schedule shall be 03). Each schedule shall al-
low a minimum of 8 separate occupied, un-
occupied periods. All of the 8 occupied pe-
riods can be scheduled by individual day for
anyday of theweek.A separate scheduleshall
be provided for holidays. Schedules shall al-
