Safety Considerations
Centrifugal liquid chillers are designed to provide safe and reliable service when
operated within design specifications. When operating this equipment, use good
judgement and safety precautions to avoid damage to equipment and property or injury
to personnel.
Be sure you understand and follow the procedures and safety precautions contained
in the machine instructions as well as those listed in this guide.
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building. Outlet from rupture disc
or r elief v alve must be ve nte d outdoor s in accordanc e wit h the lat e st e dition of
ASHRAE 15 (Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration). The accumulation of
ref rigerant in an enclos ed space can displ ace oxygen and cause asphyxi at ion.
PR OVIDE adequate ventilation in accordan ce with ASHRAE 15, especial ly for
enclosed and low overhead spaces. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is
harmful an d may cause heart irregu larities, unconsci ou snes s, or death . Misuse
can be fat al. V apor is heavier t han air and reduc es t he amount of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye and skin irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.
DO NOT USE OXYGEN to purge lines or to pressurize a machine for any purpose.
Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil, grease, and other common substances.
NEVER EXCEED specified test pressures, VERIFY the allowable test pressure by
checking the instruction literature and the design pressures on the equipment
nameplate.
DO NOT USE air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or dry nitrogen.
DO NO T VALVE O FF any safe t y device.
BE SURE that all pressure relief devices are properly installed and functioning
befor e ope r ati ng an y mac hine.

Machine Identification Label
The ide ntific ation label is located on the ri ght side of t he m ac hine co ntrol center panel. The
label contains information on model number, refrigerant charge, rated voltage, etc.
System C omponents
The components include the cooler and condenser heat exchangers in separate vessels,
motor-compressor, lubrication package, control center, utility vessel, and motor starter. All
connec tion s from pr essur e v es s els have exte r nal thre ads to enable each com pone nt to be

Cooler
This ves s el ( als o known as the evapo r ator) is loc ated under neath the cond ens er, next to the
utility vessel. The coole r is ma intained at lower tempe r ature/pr essur e s o that evaporating
refr igerant c an r em ove heat from water flowing through its inter nal tubes .
Condenser
The condense r oper ates at a higher temperature /pressur e than the cool er , and has water
flowing through its intern al tubes in or der to remove heat from the refr igerant.
Moto r-Co m pr essor
This component maintains system temperature/pressure differences and moves the heat
carrying refrigerant from the cooler to the condenser.
Control Center
The control center is the user interface for controlling the machine and regulates the machine
capac ity as required to main tain pro per leaving chil led water temperature. The control center :
•registers cooler, condenser, and lubricating system pressures
•shows machine operating condition and alarm shutdown conditions
•recor ds the tot al machine ope r ating hour s and how ma ny hours the machine has
been running
•sequences machine start, stop, and recycle under microprocessor control
•provides access to other CCN (Carrier Comfort Network) devices
Motor Starter (Purchased Separately)
The sta r ter allo ws for the pro per star ting and disconnect ing of the electr ic al energy for the
compressor-motor, oil pump, oil heater, and control panels.
Utility Vessel
Duri ng normal operat ion, this v es s el func tions as an ec onomizer, ret ur ning flash gas t o the
second stage of the compressor and increasing the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle. During
peri ods of shutdown an d s er v ic e, the ut ility ve s s el c an serv e as a s torage tank for the
refr igerant .
Ref rigeration Cy cle (
The machine compressor continuously draws large quantities of refrigerant vapor from the
cool er , at a rate determ ined by th e am ount of guide va ne openi ng. This c om pr essor s uc tion
reduces the pressure within the cooler, allowing the liquid refrigerant to boil vigorously at a fairly
low temperature (typically 38 to 42 F [3 to 6 C]).
The liquid refrigerant obtains the energy needed to vaporize by removing heat from the water
or brin e in the cooler tubes. The c old water or br ine can then be used in ai r co nditioning and/or
other pr ocess es .
After r em ov ing hea t from the water or br ine, the refrige r ant vapor ent er s the first s tage of the
compressor, is compressed and flows into the compressor second stage. Here it is mixed with
flash-economizer gas and is further compressed.
Figure 4
)
Compr es s ion rais es the refr igerant temperatur e above t hat of the water flowing t hr ough the
condens er tub es . When the warm (typically 98 to 102 F [37 to 40 C]) ref r igerant v apor com es
into contac t wit h the cond ens er tub es , the relativel y coo l c ondensing water ( typically 85 t o 95 F
[29 to 35 C]) remov es s om e of the heat and t he v apor c ondenses into a liquid .
The liq uid refrigerant pass es throu gh an orif ic e into the FLASC chamber. B ec ause th e
cool es t conde ns er water is flowing throug h the FLAS C, it is at a lower press ure and part of t he
entering li quid ref r igerant will flas h to vapo r , t her eby cooling the remaining liquid. The vapo r is
then recondensed by the condenser water flowing through the FLASC chamber.
The subcoole d liquid refri ger ant dr ains into a high-side valve c hamber which meters t he
refr igerant liquid into a flash ec onomizer cham ber. Pressure in this ch am ber is intermediate
betwe en c onden s er and cooler pres s ur es. At this lowe r pr es s ur e, some of the li quid ref r igerant
flashes to ga s , f ur ther cooling the remaining liquid . T he flash gas , havin g abs orbed heat, is
returned directly to the compressor second stage. Here it is mixed with discharge gas that is
already c om pres s ed by the firs t-st age impeller. S inc e the flash gas has to pas s through only
half t he c om press ion cyc le, to reac h c onden s er pr es s ure, there is a sav ings in power.
The cooled li quid ref r igerant in the eco nom iz er is me tered thr ough the low-side valve
chamb er into the c ooler. B ec ause pres s ure in t he c ooler is lower t han economizer pr essur e,
some of th e liquid flashes and cools the re m ainder t o ev aporat or ( c ooler) tempe r ature. The
cycle is now complete.
Motor/Oil Refrigeration Cooling Cycle
The mot or is c ooled by liquid re frigerant taken from the botto m of t he c onden s er v es s el
(Figure 4). Flow of refrigerant is mai ntained by the pre s s ur e differ ential that exists due to
compressor operat ion. After the re frigerant flo ws pas t an iso lation v alv e, an in- line filter, and a
sight glass/moisture indicator, the flow is split between motor cooling and oil cooling systems.
Flow t o th e m otor fl ows throug h an orifi c e and into the motor . On models with a so lenoid
valve , t he v alve will ope n if additional m otor cooling is re quired. Once past the orif ic e, the
refr igerant is dir ecte d ov er the motor by a s pr ay nozz le.
The ref r igerant coll ec ts in the bottom of the motor casing and then is drained ba ck into the
cooler through the motor refrigerant drain line. An orifice in this line maintains a higher pressure
in the motor shell than in the cooler/ oil sump. The motor is protected by a tempe r ature sensor
imbedded in t he s tator windin gs . On models with a so lenoid va lv e, higher m otor tem perat ur es
(above 125 F [51 C]) energize the solenoid to provide additional motor cooling. On all models, a
further increase in temperature past the motor override set point will override the temperature
capac ity control to hold, and if the motor tem per atur e r is es 10° F (5.5° C) ab ov e this set point,
will c los e the inlet guide vanes. If the temperature r is es above t he s afety lim it, th e c om pr essor
will s hut down.
On machines wit h E X c om pr es s ors , t he oil is also cooled by liq uid refrigera nt. Refrigera nt
that flows to the oil cooling system is regulated by a thermostatic expansion valve. There is
alway s a m inimum flow byp as s ing the TXV , whic h flows thr ough an or ifice. The TXV valve

Hermetic Machines (19 Series) Lubrication Cycle
Summary
The compre ssor oil p ump and oil reservoir a re l ocated in the compressor base. Oil is pumped
through an oi l c ooler and a filte r to rem ove heat and any forei gn parti c les . Part of t he oil flow is
directed to the compressor motor-end bearings and seal. The remaining flow lubricates the
compressor transmission, thrust and journal bearings and seal. Oil is then returned to the
reservoir to complete the cycle (Figure 5).
Details
Oil is charged into the reservoir (Item 1) through a hand valve (Item 4) which also functions
as an oi l dr ain. If there is refrige r ant in the mac hine , a pump is required for cha r ging. Si ght
glass es ( It em 10) on the reservoir wall permit obse r v ation of th e oil level. The normal opera ting
oil lev el is from the mid dle of the lower sight glass to the to p of the lower sight glass.
The mot or - dr iv en oil pump (I tem 8) disc harges oil to an oil cooler (Item 12) at a rate and
pressure controlled by an oil regulator (Item 7). The differential pressure (supply versus return)
is register ed at the control ce nter. Oil diffe r ential pr es s ure is m aintained between 18 to 30 psi
(124 to 207 kPa) .
The oil pum p disc har ges oil t o the oil co oler (It em 12) . Oil is then piped to the oil filt er
assembly (It em 9) . This filter is c apable of being va lv ed closed to per m it removal of the f ilter
without draining the entire oil system (see Scheduled Maintenance, Changin g Oil Filt er section
for det ails) . T he oil is th en piped to t he oil cooler (Item 12).
The oil co oler on th e E X co m pr es s or is a plate-and-fr am e type, r efrige r ant cool ed, heat
excha nger. T he E X c om pr essor oil cooler heat ex c hange r us es r efrige r ant from the conde ns er
as a coolant. The refri ger ant co ols the oil to a temper ature between 110 and 12 0 F (43 and
49 C) sup ply oil te m per atur e to the bearings.
The FA compres s or oil cooler heat ex c hange r is water cooled. Th e water flow thro ugh the
cool er is m anuall y co ntroll ed by a plug valve. The valve should be adjust ed to main tain
approx im ately 145 F (63 C) in the oil s um p during runn ing conditions.
As the oil leaves the oi l c ooler, it passes the oil pre s s ur e transducer (Item 14) and then the
thermos tatic ex pansion val v e bulb (Item 13). The oil flow is then div ided, and a portion flo ws to
the mot or - end bea r ing (It em 19) and seal. The remaind er lubricates the c om press or
transm is s ion (Item 2) and the thrus t and jour nal be ar ings (It em 3) . Thrus t beari ng tempe r ature
is indic ated at the Local Interface De v ic e ( LID). Oil from eac h c ir c uit re turns by gr av ity to the
reservoir.
A de m i s t e r (Items 17 an d 18) , by c en t rifug al actio n, dr a ws r efr ig erant gas f r om the
transmission area to the motor shell. The resulting pressure difference prevents oil in the transmission cavity from leaking into the motor shell.
Several saf ety features are part of the lubr ic ation s y stem:
In the ev ent of power fai lur e, a small oil reservoir ( Item 16) s upplie s su ff ic ient oil reser v e to
ensure continued lubrication until all compressor parts have come to a complete stop. The
bearing temperature sensor (Item 15) monitors thrust bearing temperatures and shuts off the
machine if th e temperature r is es above a select ed point. Low-o il pr essur e will shut down the
machine or prevent a s tart if oil pressur e is not adequate.
The PIC (Product Integrated Control) measures the temperature of the oil in the sump and
maintains t he tempe r ature du r ing shut down (see Contr ols , Oil Sum p Tempe r ature Co ntrol
sect ion). This tempe r ature is read on the LID default sc r een.
Duri ng the machine star t-up, the PIC will energize the oil pump and pro v ide 15 seconds of
prel ubr icat ion to the bearin gs after the oil pre s s ur e is v er ified and befor e the co ntrols start the
compressor. During shutdown, the oil pump will run for 60 seconds after the compressor
actually shuts dow n for the pur pose of pos t-lub r ic ation. The oil pump can also be en er gized for
testi ng purpos es in control s test.
Ramp loading ca n s low the rate of guide vane op ening t o m inimize oil foam ing at star t-up. If
the guide vanes open quickly, the sudden drop in suction pressure can cause any refrigerant in
the oil to f las h. The r es ulting oil foam c annot be pumped efficiently; oil pr es s ur e falls off, and
lubric atio n is poor. If oil pressure fa lls below 15 ps i ( 90 kPa) differential, the PIC will shu t down
the compressor.
Oil reclaim is accomplished by returning the system oil through the check valve/orifice (Item
11). A s oil builds up behind the second stag e im pelle r , it is dr ained by the check v alv e/or ifice
back in to the oil res erv oir . An oil /refri ger ant mi x ture is drawn up fr om the oper ating lev el of the
cooler into the guide vane housing. This assists the oil return system at low load operating
conditions.

Open-Driv e M achine s ( 17 S erie s) Lu brication Cycle
Summary
The main oil pum p and oil reser v oir ar e c ontained in the c om press or base. Oil is pumped
through an oi l c ooler and a filte r to rem ove heat and any forei gn parti c les . A port ion of the oil is
then di r ec ted to s haft-end bearing and the shaft seal. The balanc e of the oil lubr ic ates t he
compressor transmis s ion and the t hr us t and jour nal bearings. The beari ng and tran s m is s ion oil
returns directly to the reservoir to complete the cycle. Contact-seal oil leakage, however, is
coll ec ted in an atmospheric f loat cha m ber to be pum ped back to the main r es ervoir as the oil
accumulates .
Deta ils (See
Oil may be charged into the reservoir (1) through a hand valve (2) which also functions as an
oil drain. If t her e is refrigerant in th e m ac hine, however, a hand pum p will be r equired for
charg ing at this c onnection.
An oil-charging elbow ( It em 20) on the seal-oil retur n c ham ber allows oil to be added without
pumping. The seal-oil return pump (Item 21) automatically transfers the oil to the main reservoir.
Sight glasses ( Item 6) on the reserv oir wall permit obser v ation of the oil level.
A motor-driven oil pump (Item 5) discharges oil to an oil cooler (Item 7) at a rate and pressure
contr olled by an oil regulator ( It em 4) . The dif feren tial oil pr es s ure (bearing suppl y ve r s us oil
reserv oir) is r egiste r ed on the co ntrol pa nel.
Figure 6
)
Water flow through the oil cooler is manually adjusted by a plug valve (Item 9) to maintain the
oil at an oper ating temperatur e of appr ox im ately 145 F (63 C). Dur ing shutdown, the oi l
temperature is also maintained at 150 to 160 F (65 to 71 C) by an immersion heater (Item 3) in
order to minimiz e absorption of refr igerant by the oil.
Upon leaving the oil coo ler , the oil is filter ed (11) and a po rtion is directe d to the seal- end
bearing (17) and the shaft seal (18). The remainder lubricates the compressor transmission (15)
and the thrust an d journal bearings (10). Thrus t bear ing temp er ature is indicat ed by the PI C
controls. Oil from both circuits returns by gravity to the reservoir.
A demist er ( 13 and 16 ) , by c entrifugal action, draws refrig er ant gas from the trans m ission
area to a housin g that is ve nted to th e c ooler (It em 19). The r es ulting press ur e difference
preve nts oil f r om th e transm is s ion cavity fr om leaking into th e s eal.
The ope n c om pr essor dr iv e r equires tha t t he s haft seal (18) be k ept full of lubric ation oil,
even when the ma c hine is not oper ating, t o pr ev ent los s of refri ger ant.
If the mac hine is not oper ating and the oil pump has not oper ated dur ing the las t 12 hour s ,
the control system will automatically run t he oil pump for one minute in order to kee p the con tact
seal filled with oil.
IMP ORTANT : If t he control pow er is to be de energi z ed for more t han one day, the
machine refrigerant should be pumped over to the utility vessel.

General
The 17/19EX herm etic centri fugal liquid chiller contains a m ic r oprocessor - based c ontro l
center that monitor s and c ontro ls all operations of the mac hine. The microproces s or co ntrol
system matches the cooling capacity of the machine to the cooling load while providing state-ofthe-art machine protection. The system controls cooling load within the set point plus the
deadband by sensing the leaving chilled water or brine tem perat ur e, and regulat ing the inlet
guide v ane via a mec hanically lin k ed ac tuator m otor. The guide va ne is a v ar iable flow prewh ir l
assembly that controls the refrigeration effect in the cooler by regulating the amount of
refr igerant v apor flo w into the com press or . An increase in guide v ane open ing increases
capacity. A decrease in guide vane opening decreases capacity. Machine protection is provided
by the proc ess or which monitor s the digital and analog in puts and ex ec utes capacity ov er r ides
or saf ety shut downs, if required.

PIC System Components
The Product Integrated C ontrol (PIC) is the control system on the machine. See Table 1. The
PIC controls the oper ation of the mac hine by monitor ing all op er ating c onditions. The P IC can
diagnose a problem and let th e operat or k now what the prob lem is and wha t t o c hec k . It
promp tly positions the guide v anes to ma intain leaving chill ed water temperat ur e. It can
interface with auxiliary equipment such as pumps and cooling tower fans to turn them on only
when required. It continually checks all safeties to prevent any unsafe operating condition. It
also regulates the oil heater while the compressor is off, and the hot gas bypass valve, if
installed.
The PIC ca n be inter faced with the Car r ier Comfo r t Network ( CCN) if de s ir ed. It can
communicat e with other PIC - equipp ed c hille r s and other CCN devices .
The PIC consists of 3 modules housed inside the 3 major components. The component
names and the con trol voltage c ontained in each component are liste d below (also see
Table 1):
•control center
–all extra low-voltage wiring (24 v or less)
•pow er panel
–115 v control voltage
–up t o 600 v for oil pump power
•starter cabinet
–mac hine power wi r ing (per job requirement)

Pr ocessor Module (PSIO )
This module contains all of the operating software needed to contro l the machine. The opendrive ma c hines use a differ ent so ft ware pack age wi thin the PS IO than the hermet ic m ac hine s .
There are also control hardware differences between the two types of machines. The 19EX
uses 3 pressur e transducers and 8 ther m is tors t o s ens e press ur es and t em perat ur es . The
17EX uses 4 pressure transducers and 7 thermistors to sense pressures and temperatures.
These inputs ar e c onnect ed to the PS IO module. The PS IO also pr ov ides output s to t he:
guide vane actuator; oil pump; oil heater; hot gas bypass (optional); motor cooling solenoid; and
alarm contact. The PSIO communicates with the LID, the SMM, and the optional 8-input
modules for user inter face and star ter managem ent.
Starter Management Module (SMM)
This module is loc ated within the star ter cabinet. This m odule initiates PSIO co m m ands for
starter functions such as start/stop of the compressor, start/stop of the condenser and chilled
water pumps, start/stop of the tower fan, spare alarm contacts, and the shunt trip. The SMM
moni to r s star ter inputs s uc h as flow sw itches, line volt age, re m ote star t contac t, s par e safe ty,
condens er high press ur e, oil pum p inter lock, motor curr ent si gnal, star ter 1M and run contac ts,
and kW t ransducer input (optional). The SMM co ntains logic ca pable of safely shutting d own t he
machine if com m unicat ion with the PSI O is lost.
Loca l Interface De vice ( LID)
The LID is mounted to the control center and allows the operator to interface with the PSIO
or other CCN devices. It is the input center for all local machine set point s , sc hedul es , set-u p
funct ions, an d optio ns . The LID has a S TO P button, an alarm light, 4 button s for logic inputs,
and a display. The function of the 4 buttons or ‘‘softkeys’’ are menu driven and are shown on the
display direc tly abo v e the key.
6-Pack Relay Board
This device is a c lus ter of 6 pilot rel ay s loc ated in the con trol cent er . It is energized by the
PSIO fo r the oil pum p, oil heater, alar m , optional hot gas bypass relay , and mo tor cooling
solenoid (19E X m ac hine s ) on aux ilia r y oil pump (17E X m ac hine s ) .
8-Input Modules
One optional module is factory installed in the control center panel when ordered. There can
be up to 2 of these module s per c hiller with 8 spar e inputs eac h. They ar e used whenev er
chil led water r es et, demand reset, or re ading a spare sensor is re quired. The sensors or 4 to
20 mA signals are field- inst alled.
The spare temperature sensors must have the same temperature/resistance curve as the
other tempe r ature sensors on this un it. These sensors ar e rate d 5,000 ohm at 75 F (25 C) .
Oil Heater Contactor (1C)
This contactor is located in the power panel and operates the heater at 115 v. It is controlled
by the PIC to mai ntain oil tempe r ature du r ing machine shut down.
Oil Pump Contactor (2C)
This contact or is locat ed in the power panel. It oper ates all 200 to 575- v oil pumps. The PIC
energiz es the co ntact or to turn on th e oil pump as necess ar y .
Hot Gas Bypa ss Contactor Relay (3C) (Opti onal)
This relay, located in the power panel, controls the opening of the hot gas bypass valve. The
PIC energizes the rel ay dur ing lo w load, high lift conditions.
Oil Auxiliary Relay (4C)
This relay, supplie d only wit h open-drive mac hines, opens th e oil cooler solenoid va lv e and
interlocks the oil pump with the compressor.
Control Transformers (T1-T4)
These t r ans formers are loc ated in the power panel an d c onvert incoming contr ol volt age to
eithe r 21 v ac power fo r the PSIO mo dule and options mo dules, or 24 v ac power fo r 3 power

Control and Oil Heater Volt age Sel ecto r (S1)
It is necessar y to use 115 v in c om ing cont r ol power in the power pane l. The switch must be
set to t he 115-v pos ition.
Oil Differential Pressure/Power Supply Module
This module, which is located in the control center, provides 5 vdc power for the transducers
and LID backlight.
On open - dr iv e machines, this module outputs the difference between two pres s ur e
transducer input si gnals. The modul e s ubtract s oil supply press ur e from t r ans m ission sum p

for operational information.
Occupancy Schedule
This sc hedule determines when the chiller is either oc c upied or unoccupied.
Each sc hedul e c ons ists of from one t o 8 oc c upied /unoccupied time periods, se t by the
operator. These time per iods can be enabl ed to be in effe c t, or not in effe c t, on eac h day of the
week and for holidays. The day begins with 0000 hours and ends with 2400 hours. The machine
is in OCCUPIED mode un les s an unoccupie d time period is in eff ec t.
The machine will shut down whe n the schedule goes to UNOCCUPI E D. These s c hedule s
can be se t up to foll ow the bu ilding schedule or to be 100% OCCUP IED if the operator wishes.
The schedule s als o c an be bypassed by forcing the Start/Stop command on the PIC Status
screen to star t. The schedul es als o can be overridden to k eep the unit in an OCCUPIE D m ode
for up to 4 hour s , on a one- time ba s is .
Fig u re 19 shows a schedule for a typical office building time schedule, with a 3-hour, off-peak
cool down period from midnight to 3 a.m., following a weekend shutdown. Example: Holiday
peri ods ar e unoccupie d 24 hours per day. The build ing operates Mo nday through Friday, 7:00

midnight to 3:00 a.m. weeke nd c ool-down schedule.
Note: This schedule is for illustration only, and is not intended to be a recommended schedule
for chiller operation.
Whene v er the chiller is in t he LOCAL mo de, the mac hine uses Occupancy Sc hedul e 01.

Safety Controls
The PIC mo nitors all safe ty c ontro l inputs , and if required, s huts dow n the machine or li m its
the gui de v anes to pr otect the machine from pos s ible da m age from any of the f ollowi ng
condition s :
•high bearing temp er ature
•high m otor winding temperature
•high dis c harge temp er ature
•low oil pressure
•low cooler refrigerant temperature/pressure
•condenser high pressure or low pressure
•inadequate water/brine cooler and condenser flow
•high, low, or los s of voltage
•excessive motor acceleration time
•excessive starter transition time
•lack of motor current signal
•excessive motor amps
•excessive compressor surge
•temper atur e and transducer faults
Starter faults or optional protective devices within the starter can shut down the machine.
These devices are dependent on what has been purchased as options.
CAUTI ON
If comp ressor motor overlo ad or groun d fault occurs, check the motor for
grounded or op en phas es before at t empting a restart.
If the controller initiates a safety shutdown, it displays the fault on the LID with a primary and
a secon dar y m es s age, and energizes an alarm relay in the star ter an d blinks the alarm light on
the cont r ol center. The alarm is s tored in m em or y and can be viewe d in the PIC A lar m Histo r y
table along with a message for troubleshooting.
To give a better warning as to the operating condition of the machine, the operator also can
defin e alert limits on v ar ious monitor ed inputs . Safety c ontac t and aler t limits ar e defined in
Table 3. Alarm and alert me s s ages are lis ted in the Troubleshooting Guide section.
!
CAUTION
Shunt Trip
The optional shunt trip func tion of t he P IC is a saf ety trip . T he s hunt trip is wired from an
output on the SMM to the motor circuit breaker. If the PIC tries to shut down the compressor
through normal shutdown procedure but is unsuccessful for 30 seconds, the shunt trip output is
energiz ed and ca us es the circ uit br eak er to tr ip off. If ground fault protection has been applied
to the star ter, th e gr ound f ault trip will al s o energize the sh unt trip to trip the circuit brea k er .
Def a u lt Scr een Fr eeze
Whenever an alarm occurs, the LID default screen will freeze displaying the condition of the
machine at th e time of alar m . Know ledge of the oper ating state of th e c hiller at the tim e an
alarm occurs is useful when troubleshooting. Current machine information can be viewed on the
Status tables. Once all existing alarms are cleared (by pressing the RESET softkey), the defaul t
LID will retur n to normal oper ation.
Moto r Cooling Control (Herme tic Motors Only)
Motor te m per atur e is re duc ed by r efrige r ant entering the m otor shell and ev aporat ing. The
refrigerant is regulated by the motor cooling relay. This relay will energize when the compressor
is runn ing and mot or temperatur e is above 125 F (51.7 C). The relay will close when mo tor
temperature is below 100 F (37.8 C). Note that there is always a minimum flow of refrigerant
when th e c om pr essor is operating for m otor cooling; the relay only control s additional
refrigerant to the motor.
Note:
An additional motor cooling relay is not required for Hermetic FA style compressors.
Auxiliary Oil Pump Control (Open Drive Machines Only)
The auxiliary oil pump (optional) is controlled by the PIC. During start-up, if the main oil pump
cannot raise pr essur e to 18 psi d ( 124 kPa) , t he auxiliary oil pump wi ll be energized . During
compressor operat ion, the auxilia r y oil pum p will be ener gized if the oil pressure fa lls below the
alert t hr es hold (1 8 ps id [124 k P a]). Onc e r unnin g, the auxiliary oil pump will re m ain on until the
compressor is turned off and will deenergize with the mai n oil pump af ter the pos t-lu be time
peri od.
Shaft Seal Oil Control (Open Drive Machines Only)
All open dr ive m ac hines require t hat the shaft seal be bathed in oi l at all tim es , especially
when the machine is not running. This ensures that refrigerant does not leak past the seal. The
PIC control will energize the oil pump for one minute if the oil pump has not operated during the
past 12 hours.
It is importa nt to note that if cont r ol powe r is to be turned off for longer than this per iod, the
refr igerant c har ge must be pump ed ov er int o the utility vessel. Be c aus e the oil heater will also
be off during this time, stor ing the r efrig er ant will also prev ent re frigerant mi gr ation into the oil.
Ramp Loading Control
The ramp loading control slows down the rate at which the compressor loads up. This control
can pre v ent the c om pr essor from loading up dur ing the s hort pe r iod of time when the m ac hine
is star ted, and t he c hilled water loop ha s to be broug ht down to normal design co nditions . This
helps reduce electrical demand charges by slowly bringing the chilled water to control point.
Howev er , the to ta l power dr aw during this per iod remains almost unc hange d.
There are 2 meth ods of ramp loadi ng with the PIC. Ramp loadi ng c an be based on chi lled
water tempe r ature or on motor load.
1. Temperat ur e r am p load ing
chilled water temperature decreases by an operator-configured rate. The lowest
temperat ur e r am p table will be us ed the firs t time the machine is start ed (at
commissioning ) . T he lowest temperature ra m p r ate will als o be used if mach ine powe r has
been of f for 3 ho ur s or m or e ( ev en if the motor ra m p load is selecte d) .
2. Motor load ramp load ing
compressor motor load increases by an operator-configured rate.

Whene v er the mot or c ur r ent dema nd limit se t point is r eac hed, it activ ates a capacity
override, again with a 2-step process. Exceeding 110% of the rated load amps for more than 30
secon ds will initiat e a s afety sh utdown.
The compressor high lift (surge prevention) set point will cause a capacity override as well.
When t he s ur ge prevention set po int is reached, the contr oller normally will only ho ld the guide
vanes from opening. If s o equipp ed, the hot gas by pass v alv e will open inst ead of holding the

Oil Sump Temperature Control
The oil sump temperature control is regulated by the PIC which uses the oil heater relay
when th e m ac hine is s hut down.
As part of the pre-start checks executed by the controls, oil sump temperature is compared
against evaporator r efrig er ant temperat ur e. If the difference bet ween t hes e 2 temp er ature s is
50 F (27. 8 C) or les s , the s ta r t-up will be delay ed until the oil tempe r ature is 50 F (27.8 C) or
more. On c e this tem per atu r e is c onfirmed, the star t-up co ntinues .
The oil heater relay is energized when ev er the chi ller com pr es s or is off and the oil s um p
temperatur e is les s than 150 F (65.6 C) or the oil su m p temperature is les s than the coole r
refr igerant temperature plus 70° F (39° C). The oil heater is tu rn ed off when the oil sump
temperatur e is eithe r 1) mor e than 160 F (71.1 C) ; or 2) the oil s um p tempe r ature is mor e than
155 F (68. 3 C) and mor e than the coole r re frigerant temperatur e plus 75° F (41. 6° C). The oil
heate r is always off dur ing start- up or when the c om press or is r unnin g.
When a po wer fail ur e to the PS IO m odule ha s oc c ur r ed for more than 3 hour s ( i.e., initial
start-up), the compressor guide vane opening will be slowed down to prevent excessive oil
foaming that may result from refrigerant migration into the oil sump during the power failure.
The vane opening will be slow ed to a valu e of 2° F (1.1 ° C) per minute with temper ature ramp
loading.
Oil Cooler
The oil must be cooled when the compressor is running.
EX Compressors: This is accomplished through a small, plate-type heat exchanger. The heat
excha nger uses liquid conde ns er r efrig er ant as the c oolin g liquid . A r efrige r ant therm os tatic
expansion valve (TXV) regulates refrigerant flow to control oil temperature entering the
bearings. T her e is always a flo w of refri ger ant by pas s ing the TXV. The bulb for the expa ns ion
valve is str apped to t he oil supply line leav ing the heat exchanger and the val v e is s et to
maintain 110 F (43 C).
Note:
valve is manually set to maintain proper temperatures. Set the valve to maintain 145 F (63 C) oil
sump temperatures while the compressor is running.
The expansion valve is not adjustable. Oil sump temperature may be at a lower temperature.
FA Compressors: The oil cooler is a water cooled, tube-in-shell type heat exchanger. A plug
Remote Start/ St op Contr ol s

machine in excess of 2 or 3 times every 12 hours. If more than 8 starts in 12 hours occur, then
an Excessive Starts alarm is displayed, preventing the machine from starting. The operator
must reset the alarm at the LID in order to override the starts counter and start the machine. If
Autom atic Re s tart After a Power Failur e is not activ ated when a pow er failur e oc c ur s , and the

Auto. Restart After Power Failure
This opt ion may be enabl ed or disabled, and may be viewed/m odified in the Config table of
Equipment Configuration. If enabled, the chiller will start up automatically after a single cycle
drop- out, low, high, or loss of voltage has occ ur r ed, and the power is within ±1 0% of normal.
The 15-min start-to-start timer and the stop-to-start timer are ignored during this type of start-up.
When power is restored after the power failure, and if the compressor had been running, the

Demand Limit Control, Option (Requi res Optional 8-Inp ut Module)
The demand limit may be externally controlled with a 4 to 20 mA signal from an energy

Surge Prevention Algor ithm
This is an operator configurable feature which can determine if lift conditions are too high for
the compr ess or and then take corr ec tive ac tion. Lif t is defined as th e difference bet ween the
pressure at the impel ler ey e and the im pell er dis c harge. The maximum lift tha t a partic ular
impeller wheel can perfor m va r ies with the gas flow ac r oss the impel ler , and the size of the
wheel.
The alg or ithm f ir s t de termines if corr ecti v e ac tion is nec es s ary. T his is done by checking 2
sets of operator configured data points, which are the MINIMUM and the MAXIMUM Load
Points, (T1 /P1;T2/ P 2) . These points hav e default settings as defined on the Service1 table, or
on Table 4. These settings and the algorithm function are graphically displayed in Figure 21 and
Figu r e 22. The 2 sets of load points on this graph (default se tt ings are s hown) descr ibe a line
which the algorithm uses to determine the maximum lift of the compressor. Whenever the actual
diff er ential pr essur e between the co oler and conden s er , and the t em perat ur e difference
betwe en the en te r ing and le av ing chilled water are above the line on the graph (a s defined by
the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM Lo ad Points) the algorithm will go in to a co rrective action mode. If
the act ual values are below the line, the algor ithm tak es no acti on. Modi ficat ion of the default
set points of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM load points is described in the Input Service
Configurations section.
Corre c tive action can be taken by ma ki ng one of 2 c hoices. If a hot gas by pass line is

Lead/Lag Control
Lead/Lag is a control system process that automatically starts and stops a lag or second
chiller in a 2-chiller water system. Refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 for menu, table, and screen
selec tion in fo r m ation . O n m ac hines t hat have PSI O software with Lead/Lag capability, it is
possible to ut ilize t he P IC contr ols to pe r form the lead/lag function on 2 mac hine s . A th ir d
machine can be added to the lead/lag system as a standby chiller to start up in case the lead or
lag chiller in the system has shut down during an alarm condition and additional cooling is
required.
Note:
Lead/lag configuration is viewed and edited under Lead/Lag in the Equipment Configuration t able (located in the Service menu). Le ad/lag s tatus dur ing machine op er atio n is
viewed in the MAINT04 table in the Control Algorithm Status table. See Table 2.
Lead/Lag System Requirements:
•all mac hines m us t have PSIO soft war e capable of performing the lead/lag function
•water pumps M US T be ener giz ed fro m the PIC con trols
•water flows sh ould be constant
•CCN Time Schedules f or all machines mus t be identical
Operat ion Features:
•2 chiller le ad/lag
•addition of a thir d chiller fo r bac k up
•manu al r otation of lead chiller
•load balancing if c onfigur ed
•staggered restart of the chillers after a power failure
•chillers may be pipe d in parallel or in se r ies c hille d water flow
Common Point Sensor Installation
Lead/ lag operation does not r equire a com m on chilled water poin t sensor. Common point
sensors can be added to the 8-input option module, if desired. Refer to the certified drawings for
termination of sensor leads.

parallel, the water flow through the shutdown chillers must be isolated so that no water by-pass
around the operating chiller occurs. The common point sensor option must not be used if water
bypas s ar ound the operating ch iller is oc c ur r ing.
If the common point sensor option is chosen on a chilled water system, both machines
should have th eir own 8-input option m odule an d c om m on poin t sensor ins talled. Each
machine will us e its ow n c om m on poin t sensor for cont r ol, when that mac hine is designated as the lead chiller. The PIC cannot read the value of common point sensors

Lead/Lag Operation
The PIC co ntrol provides the ability to operat e 2 c hillers in the LE A D/LAG mo de. It also
provides the additional ability to start a des ignated stan dby c hille r when either the lead or lag
chil ler is faulted and ca pac ity require m ents are not met. The lead/lag option oper ates in CCN
mode only . If any other ch iller configur ed for le ad/lag is s et to the LOCA L or OFF modes, it will
be unavailable for lead/lag operation.

evaluates the need for additional capacity. If additional capacity is needed, the PIC initiates the
start up of the chiller configured at the LAG ADDRESS. If the lag chiller is faulted (in alarm) or is
in the OFF or LOCAL modes, then the chiller at the STANDBY ADDRESS (if configured) is
requested to start. After the second chiller is started and is running, the lead chiller shall monitor
conditions and evaluate whether the capacity has reduced enough for the lead chiller to sustain
the system alone. I f the capacity is re duced enough for the lead chiller to sustai n the CONTROL
POINT te m per atur es alone, then the operating lag ch iller is s topped.
If the lead chiller is stopped in CCN mode for any re as on other than an alar m ( *) c ondition,
then the lag and standby c hille r s ar e s topped. If the co nfigur ed lead chiller stops for and alar m

then the lag chiller shall be stopped and the standby chiller will be re queste d to start, if
configured and ready.
Standby Chiller Configuration and Operation
The conf igured stan dby c hille r is id entified as such by having the LEA D/LAG SELECT
configured to the value of ‘‘3.’’ The standby chiller can only operate as a replacement for the lag
chil ler if one of t he other two chill er s is in an alarm ( *) c ondition (as s hown on the LID panel). If
both le ad and lag ch illers ar e in an ala r m (* ) conditi on, the standby ch iller shall default to
operate in CC N mo de based on its configured Occup anc y S c hedule and r em ote co ntacts input.
