The change-over between the cooling and free-cooling
modes is automatically controlled (it is possible to block the
change-over to free-cooling by reconfiguring the machine -
see Controls IOM). The configurable parameters permitting
change-over are the outside air temperature and the leaving
water temperature set-point. As soon as the temperature
difference LWTstp - OAT is above 8 K the current capacity
in cooling mode is calculated and compared with the theo-
retical free-cooling capacity. This comparison authorizes/
stops the change-over to free-cooling.
After change-over to free-cooling all compressors are
stopped, the two (or four) two-way valves change to the free-
cooling position (the compressor functions are bypassed).
As soon as the valves open, the free-cooling pump is started.
This change-over logic takes around 4 minutes. Taking this
timing into consideration two cooling - free-cooling change-
overs are authorized per hour.
If the capacity supplied in the free-cooling mode is insuffi-
cient (set-point not reached), the unit automatically changes
over to cooling mode.
To optimize operation in free-cooling mode we strongly
recommend to use the set-point offset function. This favours
the change-over to free-cooling and increases the capacity
in free-cooling mode.
