Explanation of Tower Control Settings
There are five possible tower control strategies: (I)
NONE
,
(II)
VALVE SP
, (III)
VALVE STAGE
, (IV)
VFD STAGE
, and
(V)
VALVE SP / VFD STAGE
. These control strategies are
selected from the TOWER Setpoint Screen
) using
Setpoint 2. (In the following pages, “SP”
means “Setpoint.”) An explanation of each control strategy
follows this paragraph. Along with each explanation is a
diagram and graph to help illustrate the control strategy. Note
that these graphs illustrate the default conditions for each
strategy. See
"Setting Tower Control Using the HMI Panel"
for details on how to set these tower control
strategies.
(I)
NONE:
This control strategy is tower fan staging only.
This is not a recommended strategy
. In this mode
the tower fan staging (up to four stages) is controlled by
either the condenser Entering Water Temperature (EWT)
or LIFT pressure (difference between the condenser and
suction pressure). Tower bypass or fan speed are not
.

Temperature vs. Fan Stages
(II)
VALVE SP:
This control strategy is tower staging (up to
four stages) with a low-limit controlled bypass valve. The
tower fans are controlled as in (I), plus a tower bypass
valve is controlled to provide a minimum condenser EWT.
There is no interconnection between the fan control and
the valve control. See
Figure 38:
TOWER Setpoint - SP2 - (II) VALVE SP (II)
Figure 39:
VALVE SP - Valve Opening vs. Temperature
, the default temperature at which the
valve opens completely is 65°F. This temperature is the Valve
SP (also called Valve Target) and is adjustable.
(III)
VALVE STAGE:
This control strategy is tower staging (up
to four stages) with a stage-controlled bypass valve. In
this mode, the bypass valve controls between fan stages
