(17) Generator Solution
Temperature Limit Control

As the solution temperature increases, the control system
will limit machine energy input attempting to keep the
chiller operational. Limited energy input to the first-stage
generator begins when the strong solution leaving the
temperature exceeds 315°F.

The control system will enter limit loading from 315 to
325°F; on further temperature increase will:
•

hold at 325 to 330°F and

•

unload at 330 to 335°F and

•

shut down the machine above 335°F.

Operation at or above solution temperatures above 335°F
will cause rapid solution inhibitor depletion and potential
operational problems.

The resulting machine shutdown causes a manual reset-
MMR- diagnostic. The high limit must be cleared and
problem corrected before a restart is attempted. The
control range is fixed in the software.
