Compressor types

The following types of compressors can be used for regulation:
• Single-step compressors (one can be speed-regulated)
• Compressor with unloaders
• Scroll compressors (one can be a digital scroll)
• Copeland Stream compressor with one unloader (4 cylinders)
• Bitzer CRII compressor with two unloaders (4-cylinders)

Capacity regulation

The cut-in capacity is controlled by signals from the connected 

pressure transmitter/temperature sensor and the set reference.

Set a neutral zone around the reference .

In the neutral zone, the regulating compressor controls the  

capacity so that pressure can be maintained. When it can no  

longer maintain the pressure within the neutral zone, the control-

ler will cut out or cut in the next compressor in the sequence. 

When further capacity is either cut out or cut in, the capacity  

from the regulating compressor will be modified accordingly  

to maintain the pressure within the neutral zone (only where  

the compressor has variable capacity).

– When the pressure is higher than the “ref a half neutral 

zone”, cut-in of the next compressor (arrow up) is permitted.

– When the pressure is lower than the “reference - a half neutral 

zone”, cut-out of a compressor (arrow down) is permitted.

– When the pressure is within the neutral zone, the process  

will continue with the currently activated compressors. 

Control sensor

Normally, a suction group is controlled based on a signal from  

the Po pressure transmitter. 

If control on a brine, the S4 sensor must be the control sensor. The 

Po pressure transmitter must also be installed, as it is used for frost 

protection.

The reference

At set or variable reference can be used for regulation. For  

example, the variable reference can be used for a night time  

increase or Po optimisation. Enter a set point here so that a  

contribution from the Po optimisation or night time increase  

is added. This contribution can raise or lower the reference,  

as determined by the momentary cooling need. 

To limit the reference from values that are too high or too low, set 

a max. and min. limit.

Load shedding

When the load shedding function is activated, the maximum  

permissible compressor capacity will be limited to the set limit. 

In this way, the total electrical load in the store is limited.

The threshold value may not be set lower than the compressor’s 

lowest capacity step/”Start speed”.
