Capacity Control System
consists of a multiple-step
water temperature controller, electric cylinder bank
unloader(s) and liquid line solenoid
A hot gas
bypass arrangement on the final step of unloading is
factory supplied for models
60 Hz and 30GT0 15
50 Hz. Factory-installed stubs are provided to facilitate
field installation of hot gas bypass for all other units.
MULTIPLE-STEP CONTROLLER consists of load
switches actuated by pressures developed
sensing bulb located in the nozzle of the return water
line of the chilled water system.
To remove the sensing bulb, loosen the setscrew at the
top of well and pull the bulb out. Before replacing the
bulb, half fill the well with heat conductive
(multi-service grease for high or low humiditv conditions
can be used). Then insert the
entirely
the well
and tighten the setscrew. Be
collar is in the
well recess.
The controller is factory set to control from
return
water temperature through a cooling range of IO F
The sequence switches are factory calibrated and
sealed and should not require any field changes. Table 5
shows the
temperature steps for the
and
3-step controllers.
The return water

the last step of
capacity unloads is
by the leaving water tem-
perature design set point on the adjustable dial (Fig. 12).
Example: design set point is at 44 (6.7 C). On reduc-
tion in load, the capacity of the unit is reduced to zero

HOT GAS BYPASS VALVE is factory-installed on
Models
50 Hz and
Hz. It modu-
lates flow of hot gas into refrigerant circuit in response to
variations from preset suction pressure.
A
sudden de-
crease in suction pressure causes valve to admit more hot
gas to restore the preset pressure level. The hut gas enters
the refrigerant circuit through the connecting tube
between the thermal expansion
the cooler. With
hot gas
the
unit operates down to a lower
load condition; the result is less frequent off-on cycling
of the chiller.
The bypass valve is factory set to begin opening when
suction pressure drops to
62 psig (427
This
pressure corresponds to a chilled water controller
point of approximately
F (6.7 C). If the chilled water
set point is lower than 44F (6.7
it is necessary to
decrease the bypass valve setting for proper operation.
Conversely, for chilled water set points above 44F
the bypass valve setting must be increased. A
change in condensing temperature also requires a change
in bypass valve set point, As condensing temperature
decreases, decrease the bypass valve ser point until it
opens at desired conditions.
OPERATION
Refer to Control Circuit diagram on the unit, or in the
Wiring Diagrams publication.
Timer Functions (See
Fig. 13)
1. Switch A
A-A and A-A2) provides Time
function. Start
is delayed
approximately 5.5 minutes after shutoff. The
mum rime between starts of compressor is 8 minutes.
2. Switch B (contacts
and B-B2) starts compressor.
3. Switch D (contacts D-Dl) bypasses the low-pressure
switch (LPS) for 2.5 minutes at start-up for winter
start control.
