RATE CONTROL requires programming the temperature
range (RATE CONTROL TEMP) above the CONTROL
RANGE (CR) where rate control is desired. Additionally,
the actual rate of change (RATE SENSITIVITY) of water
temperature which the micro uses as a control reference
must also be programmed.
Refer to Fig. 17 as you read the following text. A typical
low limit water temperature of 44°F is used with a 44°-46°F
CONTROL RANGE (CR). A RATE CONTROL TEMP of
10°F. which is typical (10° above upper limit of the Con-
trol Range), is shown.
The RATE CONTROL TEMP establishes a temperature
range (0.1 - 20°F) above the Upper Limit of CONTROL
RANGE where the micro will limit loading if the rate of
change of water temperature exceeds the RATE SEN-
SITIVITY. In the Rate Control Range, the micro will pre-
vent loading or may cause unloading if the temperature
drop exceeds 2X the Rate Sensitivity regardless of
whether the 150 sec. loading timer and the deviation from
setpoint is calling for loading.
At temperatures below the CONTROL RANGE, unload-
ing will occur to bring temperatures back to within the
CONTROL RANGE. The unloading timer will cause un-
loading at 20 sec. intervals until temperatures fall back
into the CONTROL RANGE.
In the lower half of the Control Range between the Low
Limit Water Setpoint (LWT) and the Target Tempera-
ture (Desired Leaving Water Temperature), Rate Control
software will cause unloading if temperature drops faster
than 1X the Rate Sensitivity. Otherwise, no other loading
or unloading will result in this temperature range.
In the upper half of the Control Range between the TAR-
GET and the High Limit of the Control Range and in the
Rate Control Range, loading will take place in 150 sec.
intervals until temperature drops below the TARGET tem-
perature. The Rate Control software may prevent loading

or initiate unloading if temperature drops faster than 2X
the programmed Rate Sensitivity.
Above the RATE CONTROL TEMP RANGE, the micro
will attempt to load the chiller at 150 seconds intervals.
This allows the chiller to gain control of the water tem-
perature as quickly as possible while still avoiding over-
shoot and limiting pulldown demand as temperature drops
and rate control is implemented.
Since LWT Control does not have the water loop for buff-
ering after a load/unload response and utilizes a narrow
control (loading/unloading) range, compressor/loader
cycling can be a problem. This makes the selection of
RATE CONTROL TEMP and RATE SENSITIVITY values
very critical.
Before programming the RATE CONTROL TEMP, the user
should first determine if typically the fastest allowable
pulldowns are required or whether pulldown demand lim-
iting is desired. Programmable values from 0.1-20°F are
possible.
For normal pulldowns, and quick response, a RATE
CONTROL TEMP of 0.1°F is appropriate unless ex-
cessive overshoot is noted.
For demand limiting, energy efficiency, elimination of
overshoot, and minimum cycling, RATE CONTROL
TEMPS of 10°-20°F are advisable. This will cause the
controls to react to water temperature rate of change
well before the water temperature drops into the CON-
TROL RANGE. This may be required for small water
loops. However, if problems arise where the chiller does
not load and pull temperature down, select 0.1°F.
To program the RATE CONTROL TEMP, first press the
PROGRAM key. Repetitively press the ENTER key until
the display below appears.
Key in the desired value and press the ENTER key. The
new value will be entered into memory and the display
will advance to the next user programmable limit.
The micro will accept a range of programmable values
between 0.1-20°F.
NOTE: When programming values between 0.1-9.9°F,
it is required to first key in a 0 or 00. Exam-
ple: 0.5°-9.9°F
The next item which will require programming is the RATE
SENSITIVITY.
