8.2 - Heating/Cooling/Standby
The control determines the heat/cool state of the unit.
Chillers fitted with a boiler may operate in cooling or
heating mode. Without a boiler, the unit remains in
Cooling mode. Heat pumps may operate in cooling or
heating mode.
When the chiller is in
Heating mode
, the control utilises
the boiler to satisfy the heating demand. For heat pumps,
the boiler is used when mechanical heating is impossible
or insufficient. Additionally, when the outside air
temperature is very low, electric heaters can be used as a
form of supplemental heating.
When
Cooling mode
is selected, the unit will operate in
the Cooling mode and, as a result, the boiler or electric
heating will not be activated.
If the unit is in
Standby mode
, it does not cool or heat and
compressors are stopped. The pump is running with no
mechanical cooling or heating unless configured otherwise.
The pump may be stopped depending on pumps
configuration (
pump_sby,
PUMPCONF – Pump
Configuration).

8.2.1 - Operating mode control
The operating mode, i.e. cooling or heating, is determined
based on the following parameters:
•
Control type:
Local, Remote or Network.
•
Local heat/cool selection [hc_sel]:
Heat/Cool
selection when the unit is running in Local mode.

•
Remote heat/cool selection [onsw_cr]:

selection when the unit is running in Remote mode.
•
Network heat/cool selection [HC_SEL]:
Heat/Cool
selection when the unit is running in Network mode.
•
Outdoor air temperature [OAT]:
