Overview of the TT/TG Compressor 2 Overview of the The TT/TG Centrifugal series of compressors is a group of compressors that covers the TT/TG Compressor nominal capacity range from 90 to 200 Tons (TT) and 70 to 150 Tons (TG) tons. The TT/TG series of compressors are an oil free centrifugal design based on magnetic bearing technology.
Humidity: 0-95% Non Condensing NOTE • Contact Danfoss Turbocor for lower ambient temperature operations. Refer to “Operating Envelopes, ” for details of the operating conditions. These conditions are in line with the AHRI 540 Standard. • All compressors/components should be protected from environments that could cause corrosion to exposed metals. For outdoor installations, a weather-proof enclosure with vents is recommended to house the compressor.
Overview of the TT/TG Compressor 2.5 Compressor Module This section provides a brief overview of the Compressor Module. The Compressor Module is comprised of three (3) portions: • Aerodynamics - The aerodynamics portion manages the compression of refrigerant through the compressor from suction to discharge comprising centrifugal and IGV technologies.

Functional Description 3 Functional Description Compressor operation begins with a call for cooling from a chiller controller. The compressor controller then begins compressor ramp-up. 3.1 Main Fluid Path The following paragraphs describe the flow of refrigerant from the intake to the discharge port of the compressor (see Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2).
Functional Description 3.3 Inlet Guide Vanes The Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) assembly is a variable-angle guiding device that is used for capacity control. The IGV assembly consists of movable vanes and a motor. The vane opening is determined by the BMCC and controlled by the Serial Driver. The IGV position can vary between 0-110% where 0% is fully closed and 110% is fully open with the vanes at a 90°...
Functional Description 3.4.1 Motor Drive System Normally, AC power to the compressor remains on even when the compressor is in the idle state. The compressor motor requires a variable-frequency three-phase source for variable- speed operation. The AC line voltage is converted into a DC voltage by Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs).
Functional Description 3.4.6 Expansion Valve The on-board Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV) driver uses manual control only. Control Depending on the application, a load balancing (hot gas bypass) valve can be manually driven by the auxiliary EXV output. Load balancing allows the compressor to obtain lower capacities at higher pressure ratios.
Functional Description 3.4.10 Bearing PWM The Bearing PWM Amplifier supplies current to the radial and axial magnetic bearing Amplifier actuators. The PWM Amplifier consists of high-voltage switches that are turned on and off at a high frequency, as commanded by the PWM signal from the BMCC. 3.4.11 Serial Driver The Serial Driver module performs serial-to-parallel conversion on the stepper motor drive signals from the BMCC.
Functional Description 3.4.13 High-Voltage DC- DC-DC converters supply and electrically isolate the high and low DC voltages that are DC Converter required by the control circuits. The HV DC-DC Converter delivers 24VDC and 250VDC from an input of 460-900VDC. The 24VDC and 250VDC are used to power the Backplane and magnetic bearing PWM Amplifier, respectively.

Installation 20 Installation 20.1 Unpacking and The compressor should be carefully inspected for visible signs of damage. Check for loose Inspection bolts and damage to covers or outer casing. Damage should first be reported to the carrier, not DTC. DTC Customer Support and Service can be contacted to assist in determining the extent of damage or if compressor should be returned to DTC.
Installation 20.4 Mounting Base The compressor must be mounted on a rigid surface of sufficient structural integrity to support the weight of the compressor and valves (see Figure 16-4b and Table 16-2). A mounting kit is available to isolate the compressor from the supporting structure and to minimize vibration from other rotating equipment.
