FLOTRONIC PLUS CONTROL SYSTEM
General
T h e
Flotronic Plus chillers
feature microprocessor-based electronic controls and an
electronic expansion valve (EXV) in each refrigeration
circuit.
The Flotronic Plus control system cycles compressors
and compressor unloaders to maintain the selected leav-
ing water temperature set point. It automatically posi-
tions the EXV to maintain the specified refrigerant
superheat entering the cylinders of the compressor.
Safeties are continuously monitored to prevent the unit
from operating under unsafe conditions. A scheduling
function, programmed
by
the user, controls the unit
occupied/ unoccupied schedule. The control also operates
a Quick Test program that allows the operator to check
input and output signals to the microprocessor.
The control system consists of a processor module
(PSIO), low-voltage relay module (DSIO), electronic
expansion valve (EXV), EXV driver module (DSIO),
keyboard and display module (HSIO) and thermistors to
provide analog inputs to the microprocessor. The soft-
ware resides in the PSIO.
