OPERATING SEQUENCE
NOTE: The operating sequence described below re-
lates to operation after power has been applied
on a hot water start (such as start-up commis-
sioning). Under these circumstances, loading
will deviate from normal sequence and timing
previously described. When a compressor
starts, internal timers limit minimum time be-
fore another compressor can start to 1 minute.
Time between stages of loading is also limited
by internal timers to a minimum of 1 min., al-
though the micro would like to load at 30 sec.
intervals which may cause the lag compressor
to start before the lead system fully loads op-
tional steps. This also deviates from the nor-
mal sequence of loading. If rate control dictates,
time between stages of loading may be up to
150 sec. or may not occur at all. This will be
determined by rate control programming and
actual water temperature rate of change.
1. For the system compressor to run, all Manual Re-
set Cut-outs must be reset, the Flow Switch must
be closed, any remote cycling contacts must be
closed, the System Switches must be ON, the Daily
Schedule must be scheduling the chiller to run, and
temperature demand must be present.
2. As long as power is applied, the Crankcase Heat-
ers will be on and stay on as long as the compres-
sors are not running.
3. When power is applied to the system, the micro-
processor will start a two minute timer. This is the
same timer that prevents an instantaneous start
after a power failure.
4. At the end of the two minute timer, the microproces-
sor will check for cooling demand as well as check
to see if any system safeties are exceeded. If all con-
ditions allow for start, the lead compressor will start
unloaded. Coincident with the start, the program-
mable anti-recycle timer will be set and begin count-
ing downward to 0. The liquid line solenoid valve
will open when the system is pumped down to the
suction pressure cut-out (Pumpdown on start-up.)
5.
After 4 seconds of run time,
the motor current of
the lead compressor must be >14% FLA and <115%
FLA. Oil pressure must be 5 PSID or greater. If these
conditions are not met, the lead compressor will shut
down.
6.
After 30 seconds of run time,
the oil pressure of
the lead compressor must be a minimum of 20 PSID
and the suction pressure must be a minimum of 50%
of cut-out.
7.
After 60 sec. of run time,
if cooling demand re-
quires and no safeties have been exceeded, the
lead compressor will load, if cooling demand (tem-
perature and rate control) requires.
8.
After 90 seconds of run time,
if cooling demand
requires and no safeties have been exceeded the
lag compressor will start unloaded. Coincident with
the start, the programmable anti-recycle counter will
be set and begin counting downward to 0. The
liquid line solenoid will open when the system is
pumped down to the suction pressure cut-out.
9.
After 94 seconds of run time,
the oil pressure of
the lag compressor must be a minimum of 5 PSID
and suction pressure must be greater than 50% of
cut-out.
10.
After 2 minutes of run time,
the lead compressor
will continue to load, if cooling demand (temperature
and rate control) requires and extra steps of capac-
ity are present. The oil pressure of the lag compres-
sor must be a minimum of 20 PSID and the suction
pressure must be a minimum of 50% cut-out.
11.
After 2 minutes and 30 seconds of run time,
the
lag compressor will load, if cooling demand (tem-
perature and rate control) requires.
12.
After 3 minutes of run time,
the lead compressor
will load, if cooling demand (temperature and rate
control) requires, and extra steps of capacity are
present.
13.
After 3 minutes and 30 seconds of run time,
the
lag compressor will load, if optional stages of load-
ing are present and cooling demand requires.
14.
After 4 minutes of run time,
the lead compressors
suction pressure must be greater than the pro-
grammed cut-out. In addition, the oil pressure of
the lead compressor must be greater than 25 PSID.
15.
After 4 minutes and 30 seconds of run time,
the
lag compressor will load, if optional stages of load-
ing are present and cooling demand requires.
16.
After 5 minutes and 30 seconds of run time,
the
lag compressors suction pressure must be greater
than the programmed cut-out. In addition, the oil
pressure of the lead compressor must be greater
than 25 PSID.
17.Operation beyond 6 minutes will be dictated by cool-
ing demand. Anti-recycle timers will time out and
system safety thresholds will continue to be moni-
tored.
