Introduction General Description Daikin Type WGZ water chillers are designed for indoor installations Equipment room temperature for operating and standby conditions is 40°F to 122°F (4.4°C to 50°C). They are available with water-cooled condensers (Model DW), or arranged for use with remote air-cooled or evaporative condensers (Model DA).

Unit Configuration The chiller units have two refrigerant circuits, Models WGZ 030 to WGZ 130 have two tandem scroll compressors (total of four), a single two-circuited brazed plate evaporator, a single two-circuited water- cooled condenser, interconnecting refrigerant piping and a control panel with associated sensors and transducers.
11. Make sure all wiring and fuses are of the proper size. Also make sure that all interlock wiring is completed per Daikin Applied diagrams. 12. Verify that all mechanical and electrical inspections by code authorities have been completed.

Warranty Form” (Form No. 206036A) be completed to establish commencement of the warranty period. Be sure to list the pressure drop across both vessels. This form is shipped with the unit and after completion should be returned to Daikin Applied service department through your sales representative.
11. Check that the MicroTech II controller is set to the desired chilled water temperature. 12. Check resets of all equipment protection controls. 13. Switch the unit circuit breakers to “on.” 14. Start the system by setting the system switch S1 to “on.” CAUTION Most relays and terminals in the control center are powered when S1 is closed and the control circuit disconnect is on.

Start Up Temp is the LWT at which the first compressor starts. The start up temperature equals the stage up temperature plus the Start Delta temperature. A high Start Delta will keep the unit off longer and reduce unit cycling at low loads. However, this high Start Delta will cause a larger excursion from the LWT setpoint before the unit starts.
Page 15
When staging down, one compressor on each circuit will be left on until each circuit has only one compressor running. In other words, the compressor, on either circuit, with the most run-hours will stop first. The compressor with the most run-hours on the other circuit will stop next. One compressor on each circuit will be running.
directions and the sequence of operation can be found on page 65. Some means of discharge pressure control must be installed if the condenser water temperature can fall below 60°F (16°C). Condenser Fan Control Model AC chillers equipped with air-cooled or evaporative-cooled condensers usually require some form of discharge pressure control.

When the alarm occurs due to this trigger, it can auto reset the first two times each day, with the third occurrence being manual reset. For the auto-reset occurrences, the alarm will reset automatically when the evaporator state is Run again. This means the alarm stays active while the unit waits for flow, then it goes through the recirculation process after flow is detected.
Page 26
When the evaporator pressure goes below the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload set point, a timer starts. If this timer exceeds the freeze time, then a ‘Evap Press Low Cir N’ alarm trip occurs. If the evaporator pressure rises to the unload set point or higher, and the freeze time has not been exceeded, the timer will reset.

Alarm Log An alarm log stores the last 25 alarms and/or events to occur. When an alarm or event occurs, it is put into the first slot in the alarm log and all others are moved down one, dropping the last entry. In the alarm log, the date and time the alarm occurred are stored, as well as a list of other parameters.

Controller Operation Calculations The Control Band defines the temperatures around the Controlling Leaving Water Temperature set point where compressors will be staged on or off. In cool mode, the controlling leaving water temperature set point will be Evap LWT. In heat mode, the controlling leaving water temperature set point will be Heat LWT.
Page 32
The Stage Down temperature is calculated as: Stage Down Temperature = Heat LWT + (Control Band/2) The Heat Start up and Shutdown temperatures are calculated from the Control Band. The Start Up temperature determines when the first compressor on the unit will start. The Start Up temperature calculation is shown below: Start Up Temperature = Stage Up Temperature - Start Up Delta Temperature The Shutdown temperature defines when the last running compressor will shutdown.

Evaporator Saturated Temperature Evaporator saturated temperature is calculated from the evaporator pressure for each circuit. R410a Evaporator Saturated Temperatures When R410a refrigerant is selected the refrigerant pressure will be fitted to a curve made up of 24 straight-line segments. The accuracy of calculated saturated temperatures are less than +/- 0.5°F when compared to standard look up tables for R410a.

Power Up Start Delay After powering up the unit, the motor protector modules may not reset for up to 150 seconds. After the control is powered up, no compressor can start for 150 seconds. Motor protect inputs are ignored during this time so as to avoid tripping a false alarm.

Primary/Standby Pump Staging The pump designated as primary will start first. If the evaporator state is start for a time greater than the recirculate timeout set point and there is no flow, then the primary pump will shut off and the standby pump will start.

When stage down occurs or the saturated temperature rises back within the Stage Down dead band the Stage Down Error Accumulator is reset to zero. Forced Fan Stage at Start Fans may be started simultaneously with the compressor based on outdoor ambient temperature. When the compressor starts, and after compressor operation is verified by either a 1 psi drop in evaporator or 1 psi rise in condenser pressures, a Fantrol stage is forced based on the following table.

compressor will shutdown if the evaporator pressure gets down to 5.0 psi. For R410a, the absolute limit for low evaporator pressure is 20.0 psi. When the Low OAT Start Timer has expired, if the evaporator pressure is greater than or equal to the Low Evaporator Pressure Unload set point, the start is considered successful and normal alarm and event logic is reinstated.

Manual EXV Control The EXV position can be set manually. Manual control can only be selected when the circuit is in the run state. At any other time, the EXV control set point is forced to auto. When EXV control is set to auto, the manual EXV position setting follows the auto control position. When EXV control is set to manual, the EXV position is equal to the manual EXV position setting.

Compressor Motor protection Module The 20, 26, and 30 HP compressors are equipped with an module that provides protection against: • High motor temperature • High scroll temperature • Phase missing • Phase reversal • Low control circuit voltage The module also has a LED display in the upper right- hand corner that gives information on compressor operation.

longer than 6 hours. Once the module has locked out the compressor, a power cycle or Modbus reset command will be required to clear the lockout. Code 3 – Short Cycling: The module will flash the red Alert LED three times indicating the compressor is locked out due to short cycling.
Optional Controls Phase/Voltage Monitor (Optional) The phase/voltage monitor is a device that provides protection against three-phase electrical motor loss due to power failure conditions, phase loss, and phase reversal. Whenever any of these conditions occur, an input relay is deactivated, disconnecting power to the thermostatic control circuit. The compressor does a rapid shutdown including a pump down cycle.
System Maintenance General To provide smooth operation at peak capacity and to avoid damage to package components, a program of periodic inspections should be set up and followed. The following items are intended as a guide to be used during inspection and must be combined with sound refrigeration and electrical practices to provide trouble-free performance.
