When power is restored after the power failure and if the
compressor had been running, the oil pump will energise
for one minute before energising the evaporator pump.
AUTO RESTART will then continue like a normal start-up.
If power to the ICVC module has been off for more than 3
hours or the timeclock has been set for the first time, start
the compressor with the slowest TEMP PULLDOWN
DEG/MIN rate possible in order to minimise oil foaming.
The oil pump is energised occasionally during the time the
oil is being brought up to proper temperature in order to
eliminate refrigerant that has migrated to the oil sump
during the power failure. The pump turns on for 30 seconds at
the end of every 30-minute period until the chiller is started.
5.22 - Water/brine reset
Chilled water capacity control is based on achieving and
maintaining a CONTROL POINT temperature, which is
the sum of the LCW SET POINT or ECW SETPOINT
(from the SETPOINT screen) and a Water/Brine Reset
value, if any. CONTROL POINT is limited to a minimum
of +1.7°C for water, or -1.°C for brine. Three types of
chilled water or brine reset are available and can be viewed
or modified on the TEMP_CTL screen, which is accessed
from the EQUIPMENT SERVICE table.
The ICVC default screen indicates when the chilled water
reset is active. TEMPERATURE RESET on the MAINSTAT
screen indicates the amount of reset. The CONTROL
POINT will be determined by adding the TEMPERATURE
RESET to the SETPOINT. To activate a reset type, access the
TEMP_CTL screen and input all configuration information
for that reset type. Then, input the reset type number (1, , or
3) in the SELECT/ ENABLE RESET TYPE input line.
RESET TYPE 1: 4 to 0 mA (1 to 5 V d.c.) TEMPERA-
TURE RESET – Reset type 1 is an “automatic” reset using a
4 to 0 mA or 1 to 5 V d.c. analogue input signal provided
from any external sensor, controller, or other device which is
appropriately configured. Reset type 1 permits up to ±16.7 K
of reset to the chilled water set point. Inputs are wired to
terminals J5-3 (–) and J5-4 (+) on the CCM (for 4-0 mA
input). In order to utilise a 1 to 5 V d.c. input, a 50 ohm
resistor must be wired in series with the + input lead (J5-4).
For either input type, SW DIP switches should be set in the
ON (up) position. Inputs equivalent to less than 4 mA result
in no reset, and inputs exceeding 0 mA are treated as 0 mA.
RESET TYPE : REMOTE TEMPERATURE RESET
— Reset type is an automatic chilled water temperature
reset based on a remote temperature sensor input signal.
Reset type permits ± 16 K of automatic reset to the set
point based on a temperature sensor wired to the CCM
module (see wiring diagrams or certified drawings). The
temperature sensor must be wired to terminal J4-13 and
J4-14. To configure reset type , enter the temperature of
the remote sensor at the point where no temperature reset
will occur (REMOTE TEMP –> NO RESET). Next, enter
the temperature at which the full amount of reset will occur
(REMOTE TEMP –> FULL RESET). Then, enter the
maximum amount of reset required to operate the chiller
(DEGREES RESET). Reset type can now be activated.
