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 LWT
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
4
in free-cooling mode.
