Chilled Water Pump Control
An evaporator water pump output relay closes when the
chiller is given a signal to go into the Auto mode of
operation from any source.The contact is opened to turn
off the pump in the event of most machine level
diagnostics to prevent the build up of pump heat.
The relay output is required to operate the Evaporator
Water Pump (EWP) contactor. Contacts should be
compatible with 115/240 VAC control circuit. Normally, the
EWP relay follows the AUTO mode of the chiller.Whenever
the chiller has no diagnostics and is in the AUTO mode,
regardless of where the auto command is coming from,
the normally open relay is energized. When the chiller
exits the AUTO mode, the relay is timed to open in an
adjustable (using TechView) 0 to 30 minutes. The non-
AUTO modes in which the pump is stopped, include Reset,
Stop, External Stop, Remote Display Stop, Stopped by
Tracer, Start Inhibited by Low Ambient Temp, and Ice
Building complete.
When going from Stop to Auto, the EWP relay is energized
immediately. If evaporator water flow is not established in
20 minutes (for normal transition) or 4 minutes, 15
seconds (for pump commanded ON due to an override
safety), the UC800 de-energizes the EWP relay and
generates a non-latching diagnostic. If flow returns (e.g.
someone else is controlling the pump), the diagnostic is
cleared, the EWP is re-energized, and normal control
resumed.
If evaporator water flow is lost once it had been
established, the EWP relay remains energized and a non-
latching diagnostic is generated. If flow returns, the
diagnostic is cleared and the chiller returns to normal
operation.
In general, when there is either a non-latching or latching
diagnostic, the EWP relay is turned off as though there was
a zero time delay. Exceptions whereby the relay continues
to be energized occur with:
•
Low Chilled Water Temperature diagnostic
(non-latching unless also accompanied by an Evap
Leaving Water Temperature Sensor Diagnostic)
or
•
Interrupt Failure diagnostic
in which a compressor
continues to draw current even after commanded to
have shutdown.
or
•
Loss of Evaporator Water Flow diagnostic
(non-
latching) and the unit is in the AUTO mode, after
initially having proven evaporator water flow.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
If the microprocessor calls for a pump to start and
water does not flow, the evaporator may be damaged
catastrophically. It is the responsibility of the installing
contractor and/or the customer to ensure that a pump
will always be running when called upon by the chiller
controls.
