The fan speed regulation can be carried out by means of a pressure switch (FP) in ON/OFF modality or by means of a pressure transducer (speed
regulator).
1. Fan pressure switch (FP)
In these units a pressure switch detects the refrigerant compressor outlet pressure and controls the fan operation powering them on or
off.
The pressure switch FP is screwed to the refrigerant circuit piping with SCHRAEDER valves (with needle) which prevent leakage
during replacement.
The TRIP and RESET values of the pressure switch depend upon the refrigerant gas used and are listed in the table below:
Axial fans
Centrifugal fans (NOT present in models with 460/3/60 supply)
2. Speed regulator (NOT present in models with 460/3/60 Hz supply, with centrifugal fans and in TAEevo 015÷020)
The unit is furnished with a speed regulator of fan rotation, which operates to maintain the condensing pressure within a pre-fixed
value.
These units are furnished with a pressure transducer positioned on the refrigerant compressor outlet pipeline. It commutates the
measured pressure value into an electric signal, sent to the speed regulator. For example, if the temperature of the air sent to the
condenser decreases, the pressure transducer will measure a decreasing of the condensing pressure. This pressure decreasing is sent
to the speed regulator which will reduce the fan speed and consequently, the condenser air flow will be reduced. Analogously, when
the air temperature to the condenser and the condensing pressure increase, the regulator will increase continuously the fan speed to
increase the air flow through the condenser.
The following graphic shows the progress of the fan rotation speed according to the condensing pressure changings.
