3.11. Compressor related
3.11.1. Compressor does not start
3.11.2. Compressor does not increase frequency
Possible failures
Root cause
Check
Corrective action
Root cause category: software control
Compressor does not start
because water loop tempera-
ture is too low.
Special software control acti-
vated - Water loop tempera-
ture is too low (< 24°C)
causing only the backup
heater to operate. Compressor
will start when water tempera-
ture reaches 24°C or more.
Normal unit operation - no
specific countermeasure
required.
Compressor guard timer
active.
Compressor guard timer
active. Once compressor has
stopped it takes 180 seconds
before it can restart.
Normal unit operation - no
specific countermeasure
required.
Root cause category: component - electrical
Power cables (U, V, W) incor-
rectly connected to compres-
sor.
Wrong assembly during repair.
Confirm that the U, V, W wiring
is correctly connected. Refer
to wiring diagram for an indica-
tion how to connect correctly.
Correct the UVW wiring (see
page 144).
Possible failures
Root cause
Check
Corrective action
Root cause category: software control
Compressor frequency limited
- high discharge temperature
protection function active.
In case the discharge temper-
ature is higher than 105°C the
compressor frequency will be
reduced. When the discharge
temperature is lower than
105°C the frequency can
increase again.
Activation of the protection
function can be caused by var-
ious reasons, therefore we
recommend to check the fol-
lowing:
• Check
refrigerant
charge.
•
Check expansion valve for
correct operation (see
page 97) and check
suction thermistor (see
page 88).
• Check
discharge
thermistor (see page 88).
Based on the diagnosis exe-
cute one of the following
actions:
• Correct
the
refrigerant
charge (total charge:
1.8 kg)
•
Replace expansion valve
(see page 131) or suction
thermistor (see page 124).
• Replace
discharge
thermistor (see page 124).
Compressor frequency limited
- high pressure protection
function active.
In case high pressure is higher
than 38 barg the compressor
frequency will be reduced.
When the pressure drops
below 36 barg the compressor
frequency can increase again.
Activation of the protection
function can be caused by var-
ious reasons, therefore we
recommend to check the fol-
lowing:
•
Check pressure sensor
(see page 94)
•
Check high pressure side
plate type heat exchanger
for (see page 77) good
water flow and heat
exchange
•
Check the refrigerant
charge
Based on the diagnosis exe-
cute one of the following
actions:
• Replace
pressure
sensor
•
Optimize the water flow
through the high pressure
side plate type heat
exchanger
• Correct
the
refrigerant
charge (total charge:
1.8 kg)
Compressor frequency limited.
Inverter control active - target
water leaving temperature (tar-
get sat. high pressure)
reached.
Check if saturated high pres-
sure temperature is within
range to heat up the water to
the required temperature.
