AGSD-1 

Ice Mode Start Delay 

An adjustable start-to-start ice delay timer will limit the frequency with which the chiller 
may start in Ice mode.  The timer starts when the first compressor starts while the unit is in 
ice mode.  While this timer is active, the chiller cannot restart in Ice mode.  The time delay 
is user adjustable. 

The ice delay timer may be manually cleared to force a restart in ice mode. A setpoint 
specifically for clearing the ice mode delay is available.  In addition, cycling the power to 
the controller will clear the ice delay timer. 

Evaporator Pump Control 

The state-transition diagram shown below controls operation of the evaporator pump.

Transitions: 

 

T1

 – Transition from Off to Start requires 

any

 of the following 

 

Unit state = Auto AND If Low OAT Lockout is active then LWT <= 40 °F 

 

LWT < Freeze setpoint - 1 °F 

 

T2

 – Transition from Start to Run 

 

Flow ok for time > evaporator recirculate time 

 

T3

 – Transition from Run to Off requires 

any

 of the following 

 

Unit state = Off AND LWT > Freeze setpoint 

 

Low OAT Lockout is active AND No compressors running AND LWT > 70°F 

 

T4

 – Transition from Start to Off requires 

any

 of the following 

 

Unit state = Off AND LWT > Freeze setpoint 

 

Low OAT Lockout is active AND No compressors running AND LWT > 70°F 

 

T5

 – Transition from Run to Start 

 

Evaporator flow switch is open AND Evaporator state = Run for time greater than Flow 
Proof setpoint
