ANALOG
SIGNAL
-- An analog signal varies in proportion
to the monitored
source. It quantifies
values between operating
limits. (Example:
A temperature
sensor is an analog device be-
cause its resistance
changes
in proportion
to the temperature,
generating many values.)
DISCRETE
SIGNAL
--A
discreW signal is a 2-position rep-
resentation
of the value of a monitored
source. (Example:
A
switch produces a discrete signal indicating
whether a value is
above or below a set point or boun&uy by generating an on/off.
high/low, or open/closed
signed.)
General
--
The 19XRV herlnetic
centrifuged liquid chiller
contains
a microprocessor-based
control panel that monitors
and controls
all operations
of the chiller
(see Fig. 7). The
microprocessor
control system matches the cooling capacity of
the chiller to the cooling
load while providing
state-of-the-art
chiller protection.
The system controls cooling load within the
set point plus the deadband by sensing the leaving chilled water
or brine temperature
and regulating
the inlet guide vane via a
mechanically
linked
actuator
motol:
The
guide
vane
is a
variable flow pre-whifl assembly that controls the refrigeration
effect in the cooler by regulating
the amount
of refrigerant
vapor flow into the compressor.
An increase
in guide vane
opening increases capacity. A decrease in guide vane opening
decreases
capacity. The microprocessor-based
control
center
protects the chiller by monitoring
the digital and analog inputs
and
executing
capacity
overrides
or safety
shutdowns,
if
required.
PIC III System
Components
-- The
chiller
control
system is called the PIC 1II (Product
Integrated
Control
[II).
See Table 1. The PIC III controls the operation
of the chiller by
monitoring
all operating conditions.
The PIC III can diagnose a
problem and let the operator
know what the problem
is and
what
to check.
It promptly
positions
the guide
vanes
to
m_fint_fin leaving
chilled water temperature.
It can interface
with auxiliary
equipment
such as pumps
and cooling
tower
fans to turn them on when required.
It continually
checks all
safeties to prevent any unsafe operating condition.
It also regu-
lates the oil heater while the compressor
is off and regulates the
hot gas
bypass valve, if installed. The PIC III controls provide
critical protection
for the compressor
motor and controls the
motor
stmlel:
The
PIC III can interface
with
the Carrier
Comfort Network
(CCN) if desired. It can communicate
with
other PIC I, PIC II or PIC III equipped
chillers and other CCN
devices.
The PIC [II consists
of 3 modules
housed inside 3 major
components.
The component
names and corresponding
control
voltages are listed below (also see Table 1):
