Cooler Freeze Protection — The control will try to prevent
shutting the chiller down on a Cooler Freeze Protection alarm
by removing stages of capacity. If the cooler fluid selected
is Water, the freeze point is 34 F (1.1 C). If the cooler fluid
selected is Brine, the freeze point is the Brine Freeze Point (Set
 
Points FRZ BR.FZ). This alarm condition (A207) only
references leaving fluid temperature and NOT Brine Freeze
point. If the cooler leaving fluid temperature is less than the
freeze point plus 2.0° F (1.1° C), the control will immediately
remove one stage of capacity. This can be repeated once every
30 seconds.
Low Saturated Suction Protection — The control will try to
prevent shutting a circuit down due to low saturated suction
conditions by removing stages of capacity. These circuit alert
conditions (T116, T117) compare saturated suction tempera-
ture to the configured
 
Points FRZ BR.FZ). The Brine Freeze point is a user-
configurable value that must be left at 34 F (1.1 C) for 100%
water systems. A lower value may be entered for systems with
brine solutions, but this value should be set according to the
freeze protection level of the brine mixture. Failure to properly
set this brine freeze point value may permanently damage the
brazed plate heat exchanger. The control will initiate Mode 7
(Circuit A) or Mode 8 (Circuit B) to indicate a circuit's capaci-
ty is limited and that eventually the circuit may shut down.
Head Pressure Control —
(MBB) controls the condenser fans to maintain the lowest
condensing temperature possible, and thus the highest unit
efficiency. The MBB uses the saturated condensing tempera-
ture input from the discharge pressure transducer and outside
air temperature sensor to control the fans. If OAT is greater
than 70 F before a circuit is starting, then all condenser fan
stages will be energized. A fan stage is increased based on
SCT (saturated condensing temperature). When the highest
SCT is greater than the Fan On Set Point (Set
 
Points HEAD F.ON), then an additional stage of fan will

need low-ambient operation, the lead fan on a circuit can be
equipped with the Motormaster V head pressure controller op-
tion or accessory. The controller is energized with the first fan

The first stage of fan operation is controlled by the Motormas-
