Leveling unit
Unit must be level when installed to ensure proper oil
return to the compressors.
While most outdoor locations are suitable for 30GB
units, the roof is a common site that presents a problem
if roof has been pitched to aid in water removal. To
assure proper oil return, be sure that unit is level,
particularly in its major lengthwise dimension, as com
pressor oil return piping runs in that direction.
It should be determined prior to installation if any
special treatment is required to assure a level installation.
Cooler temperature
1. Maximum leaving chilled water temperature (LCWT)
for Model 30GB is 70 F (21 C). Unit can start and pull
down with up to 95 F (35 C) entering water tempera
ture due to MOP (maximum operating pressure)
feature of the expansion valve. For sustained opera
tion, it is recommended that entering water temperature
not exceed 85 F (29.4 C).
2. Minimum LCWT for standard Model 30GB is 40 F
(4.5 C). It is permissible to use a standard micro
processor-controlled Flotronic chiller with leaving
water temperatures in the range of 34 F (1°C) to 39.9 F
(4.4 C) only if a protective brine solution (20% antifreeze
solution, or greater) is used and microprocessor dip
switch is properly set. (See Controls and Trouble
shooting book for further information.) Special order
medium temperature brine units must be ordered for
operation with leaving water temperatures in the range
of 34 F (1°C) to 15 F (-9C). For ratings below 40 F

Leaving water temperature reset
Accessory board* may be installed in 30GB chillers to
provide reset of LCWT in constant water flow systems.
Reset reduces compressor power usage at part load when
design LCWT is not necessary. Humidity control should
be considered since higher coil temperatures resulting
from reset will reduce latent heat capacity. Three reset
options are offered;
From return water temperature* — Increases LCWT
temperature set point as return (or entering) water tem
perature decreases (indicating load decrease). Option
may be used in any application where return water provides
accurate load indication. Limitation of return water reset is:
LCWT may only be reset to value of design return water
temperature. Return reset is the simplest of 3 reset acces
sories available, as return water sensor is already installed.
From outdoor temperature* — Increases LCWT as
outdoor ambient temperature decreases (indicating load
decrease). This reset should be applied only where outdoor
ambient is an accurate indication of load. An accessory
thermistor is required.
From space temperature* — Increases LCWT as space
temperature decreases (indicating load decrease). This
reset should be applied only where space temperature is
an accurate indication of load.
For details on applying a reset option, refer to 30GB
Controls and Troubleshooting Instructions.
*Obtain ordering part numbers from current price pages.

flow rate to be reduced 12%.

Maximum cooler flow (> 5 gpm/ton or < 5 F range
[>0.09 L/s . kW or <2.7 C range]) results in practical
maximum pressure drop through cooler.
a. Return water may bypass the cooler to keep pressure
drop through cooler within acceptable limits. This
permits a higher AT with lower water flow through
cooler and mixing after the cooler.
b. Special cooler baffling is available by special order,
to permit a cooler flow rate increase of 10%.

Cooler flow range
Ratings and performance data in this publication are
for a cooling range of 10°F or 6°C. Flotronic^" chillers with
microprocessor control may be operated at a different
temperature range provided flow limits are not exceeded.
For minimum flow rates, see Table. High flow rate is limited
by pressure drop that can be tolerated. If another range is
used, apply LCWT correction as given in selection example.
Minimum cooler flow (maximum cooler temperature
range) for standard units is shown in Table. When gpm
(L/s) required is lower (or range higher), follow recom
mendations below:
a. Multiple smaller chillers may be applied in series, each
providing a portion of the design temperature range.
b. Cooler water may be recirculated to raise flow rate.
However, mixed temperature entering cooler must
be maintained a minimum of at least 5°F (2.8°C) above
the leaving chilled water temperature.
Variable cooler flow rates may be applied to a standard
30GB chiller. Unit will, however, attempt to maintain a
constant leaving chilled water temperature. In such cases,
minimum flow must be in excess of minimum flow given in
Table and flow rate must change in steps of less than 10%
per minute. Apply 6 gallons per ton (6.5 liters per kW) water
loop volume minimum if flow rate changes more rapidly.
Water loop volume — In circulation must equal or
exceed 3 gallons (11.4 liters) per nominal ton of cooling
(3.25 liters per kW) for temperature stability and accuracy
in normal air conditioning applications. (For example, a
30GB060 would require 180 gallons in circulation in system
loop — see Table.) For process jobs where accuracy is
vital or for operation at ambient below 32 F (0°C) with low
unit loading conditions, there should be from 6 to 10 gallons
Page 4
Application data (cont)
per ton (6.5 to 10.8 liters per kW). To achieve this volume,
it is often necessary to install a tank in the loop. Tank
should be baffled to insure that there is no stratification
and that water (or brine) entering tank is adequately mixed
with liquid in the tank.

Cooler protection in form of ethylene glycol (or other

which experience temperatures below 32 F (0°C) to
protect cooler should there be a loss of cooler heater
power. Even though unit cooler is protected with insula
tion and an electric heater that protects the cooler down
to 10 F (-12 C), it does not protect water piping external
to unit. Use only antifreeze solutions approved for heat
exchanger duty. Use of automotive antifreezes is not
recommended because of the fouling that can occur once
their relatively short-lived inhibitor breaks down.
Draining cooler and outdoor piping is recommended if
system is not to be used during freezing weather condi
tions. See section below for low-ambient operation.

High-ambient temperature — Standard 30GB chillers
can operate to 115 F (46 C) ambient temperature.
Low-ambient operation
Flotronic^“ 30GB chillers with electronic expansion valves
(EXV) will start and operate at ambients down to 0°F
(-18 C) with following field provisions:
Wind baffles must be added for operation below 32 F (0°C).
A WARNING
Operation at low ambient is not recommended if
minimum load on chiller is below minimum step of
unloading.
Protection against freeze-up — It is recommended
that field-installed chilled water piping be protected at
lower ambient temperatures by wrapping with field-supplied
heating cable and covering with 2-in. (50-mm) thick closed
cell insulation.
Antifreeze solution must be added to water loop to
protect loop down to 15 F (8 C) below minimum operating
ambient temperature.
For operation of EXV-equipped chillers below 0°F
(-18 C) and for operation of TXV-equipped (factoryinstalled option) chillers below 32 F (0°C), down to -20 F
(-29 C), the Carrier Motormaster® condenser head pres
sure control and its associated components must be
added. Consult your local Carrier representative for
complete details.
Provide sufficient volume in the chilled water loop — At
least 6 gallons per ton of refrigerant (6.5 liters per kilowatt)
is recommended minimum, provided there is a moderate
system load.
Capacity Correction (Antifreeze)
Ethylene glycol (or other suitable brine) should be used in
installations where subfreezing temperatures are expected. Unit performance data must be corrected for
the addition of ethylene glycol as shown in following
example. Correction factors may be derived from follow
ing curves.
Example: Where a 5 F outdoor temperature is anticipated,
determine concentration of ethylene glycol to protect
system to -10 F ambient temperature at zero flow.
Enter the solution crystallization point curve at -10 F,
read 40% concentration of ethylene glycol is required to
prevent crystals from forming in solution.
Consider the 30GB060 unit from the Selection Pro
cedure (Water) example (refer to correction curves at
40% solution).

On cooler pressure drop curve, for 114.7 gpm, read
PD = 10 ft water gage. The pressure drop for 40% solution =
1.33 X 10.0 = 13.3 ft water.
Correct compressor power input (kW) — On power
correction curve, read 0.97 correction factor at 40%
EG concentration.
Power input from Selection Procedure example
= 71.1 kW.
Corrected power input = 0.97 x 71.1 = 68.9 kW.
Oversizing chillers
Oversizing chillers by more than 15% at design conditions
must be avoided as the system operating efficiency would
be affected adversely (resulting in greater/excessive
electrical demand). When future expansion of equipment
is anticipated, it is strongly recommended that a single
chiller be installed to meet present load requirements
and a second chiller added to meet the additional load
demand.
It is also recommended that the installation of 2 smaller
chillers be considered where operation at minimum load
is critical. The operation of a smaller chiller loaded to a
greater percent of minimum is preferred to operating a
single chiller at or near its minimum recommended value.
Multiple chillers
Where chiller capacities greater than 200 tons (703 kW)
are required, or where stand-by capability is desired,
chillers may be installed in parallel. Units should be of
equal size to ensure balanced water flows. Where a large
temperature drop (>25F [13.9 C]) is desired, chillers
may be installed in series. Water temperature sensors
need not be moved for multiple chiller operation. A 10-ft
(3-m) separation is required between units for airflow,
and a 6-ft (1.8-m) distance is required from units to
obstructions. See figure. See Physical Data for service
clearances.

Electrical/utility interests
Energy management — See 30GB Controls and Trouble
shooting manual and accessory installation instructions
for details.
Demand limiting (also called load shedding) — When
utilities demand for electricity exceeds a certain level,
loads are shed to keep electricity demand below a pre
scribed maximum level. Typically, this happens on hot
days when air conditioning is most needed.
Load shedding must be done intelligently. Demand
may be limited on Model 30GB by resetting water tem
perature, or by using a demand limit accessory that
unloads the chiller to a given predetermined percent of
the load. Both features require signal from an intelligent
central control. Do not cycle demand limiter for less than
10 minutes on and 5 minutes off.
Duty cycling cycles electrical loads at regular intervals
regardless of need. This reduces electrical operating
costs of a building by “fooling” demand indicating
devices. Duty cycling of compressors or fans is not
recommended since motor winding and bearing life
suffer from constant cycling.
Page 6
Application data (cont)
Time clock shutdown (or other controlled shutdown
not associated with leaving chilled water temperature)
requires use of accessory demand limit control module.
Second step of the demand limit control (0-50% of
capacity) is set for 0 (zero) capacity. This allows unit to
go through a normal pumpout cycle at shutdown.
Part-wind start
Not generally required on 30GB chillers due to use of
multiple compressors allowing smaller electrical load
increments, but is available if required. Maximum
instantaneous current flow (see ICF in Electrical Data)
should be used in determining need.
Vibration isolation
Compressors are spring isolated,
isolation is not generally required.
External vibration
Hot gas bypass usage (units with TXV only)
Hot gas bi^pass usage, while frequently specified, is not
normally recommended because it results in equipment
being applied below its normal application range. Before
applying hot gas bypass, it is recommended that use of 2
machines be considered, including one that can be run at
the system minimum load without addition of hot gas
bypass. In those instances where there is no alternative,
it is recommended that the appropriate hot gas bypass
package can be used with the factory option TXV unit.
Medium temperature brine application — Application
of 30GB outdoor chillers for brine duty within the 39.9 F
to 34 F (4.4 C to 1°C) range is possible with proper field
change of control configuration. Application in the
range 34 F to 15 F (1°C to -9.4 C) requires 30GB unit
with factory modification.
Selection procedure
I Determine unit size and operating conditions
required to provide specified capacity at given
conditions:
Leaving chilled water temperature ....................... 45 F
Chilled water temperature rise
Condenser entering air temperature (CEAT) .. 95 F
Loop volume
Ratings are based on 10 F rise and are suitable for rise
from 5 F to 15 F without adjustment. In this case,
however, greater accuracy is desired.
II Correct LCWT for 14 F cooler water tempera
ture rise.
Enter correction curve at 14 F and read a correction
of 0.3 F. Corrected LCWT is, therefore, 45 + 0.3 = 45.3 F.
III Determine capacity, unit size and power input.
Enter rating table at given CEAT and LCWT —
respectively 95 F and 45 F.
Read down capacity column until the capacity nearest
to but higher than specified required capacity is
reached. In this case, 60.9 tons is delivered by a
30GB060. Interpolate between 45 F and 46 F to find

IV Calculate corrected cooler water flow.
Water _ 24 x corr capacity in tons

V Calculate the cooler pressure drop.
Enter cooler pressure drop curve at the corrected
flow rate (105.1 U.S. gpm) and read, for the 30GB060,
a pressure drop of 9 ft of water.
VI Check loop volume and cooler water flow rate.
Minimum loop volume, from application data, is
180 gallons for 30GB060. Therefore, given volume of
230 gallons is satisfactory. Minimum water flow rate,
from application data, is 67 gpm for 30GB060. Flow rate
of 105.1 gpm is well above minimum required.
NOTES:
1 Above efficiency ratings obtained at 54/44 F (12.2/6.7 C) cooler
water; full load at 95 F (35 0).
2 The longer the time operating at low temperatures, the greater the
difference in operating costs favoring a Flotronic™ unit over a

Microprocessor — Microprocessor controls overall
unit operation. Its central executive routine controls a
number of processes simultaneously. These include
internal timers, reading inputs, A to D conversions, fan
control, display control, diagnostic control, output relay
control, demand limit, capacity control, head pressure
control and temperature reset. Some processes are
updated almost continuously, others every 2 to 3 seconds,
and some every 30 seconds.
The microprocessor routine is started by switching
control circuit ON-OFF circuit breaker switch to ON.
(This switch is also used to reset microprocessor should
any safety trip and also functions as circuit breaker for
electronic processor and relay boards.)
When the switch is closed, a 2-minute initialization
routine is begun. During this time, inputs are checked,
EXV and internal constants are initialized and a 20
appears on display. If display button is pushed during this
period, control goes into a 42-step Quick Test routine,
normally used for a readiness check during start-up, or
for service.
Microprocessor controls capacity of chiller by cycling
compressors and unloaders on and off at a rate to satisfy
actual dynamic load conditions. Control will maintain
leaving water temperature set with dial on display board
through intelligent cycling of compressors. Accuracy will
depend on loop volume, loop flow rate, load, outside air
temperature, number of stages, and particular stage
being cycled off. No adjustment for cooling range or
cooler flow rate is required, because the control auto
matically compensates for cooling range by measuring
both return water temperature and leaving water
temperature. This is referred to as leaving water tem
perature control with return water temperature
compensation.
The basic logic for determining when to add or remove
a stage is a time band integration of deviation from set
point plus rate of change of leaving water temperature.
When leaving water temperature is close to set point and
slowly moving closer, logic prevents addition of another
stage. If leaving water temperature is less than 35 F
(1.7 C) for water, or 6°F (21°C) below the set point for
brine units, the unit is shut off until the water tempera
ture goes 6°F (3.3°C) above the set point, to protect
against freezing.
If l°F/minute (0.6°C/minute) pulldown control has
been selected (factory setting), no additional steps of
capacity will be added as long as difference between
leaving water temperature and set point is greater than
4°F (2.2°C) and rate of change in leaving water tempera
ture is less than l°F/minute (0.6°C/minute).
If it has been less than 90 seconds since the last capacity
change, compressors will continue to run unless a safety
trips. This prevents rapid cycling and also helps return oil
during short on periods.
Where available (requires accessory unloaders on some
units), 2 sequences are used to obtain circuit lead-lag
operation, which evens out compressor operating hours.
First, as unit turns on, microprocessor functioning as a
random number generator, determines which circuit will
start first. Also, when decreasing from maximum stage,
control will again randomly select which circuit to run
longest.
The control also performs other special functions
when turning on or off. When a circuit is to be turned off,
EXV is closed first and compressor is run for an additional
10 seconds to pump out refrigerant that was in the cooler.
Again, at start-up, if compressor hasn’t run in the last
15 minutes, EXV is held closed for 10 seconds while
11

Controls (cont)
compressor runs to pump out any refrigerant that has
migrated to the cooler. The oil pressure switch is bypassed
for one minute during start-up and for 45 seconds during
normal operation.
Thermistors — Eight thermistors are used for tempera
ture sensing inputs to microprocessor. (A ninth [TIO]
may be used as a remote temperature sensor for optional
LCWT reset.)
T1 Cooler leaving chilled water temperature
T2 Cooler entering water (return temperature)
T3 Saturated condensing temperature — Circuit #1
T4 Saturated condensing temperature — Circuit #2
T5 Cooler saturation temperature — Circuit #1
T6 Cooler saturation temperature — Circuit #2
T7 Return gas temperature entering compressor
cylinder — Circuit #1
T8 Return gas temperature entering compressor
cylinder — Circuit #2
TIO Remote temperature sensor (accessory)
The microprocessor uses these temperatures to control
capacity, fan cycling and electronic expansion valve
(EXV) operation.
Electronic expansion valve (EXV) — To control flow
of refrigerant for different operating conditions, EXV
piston moves up and down over slot orifices through which
refrigerant flows to modulate size of opening. Piston is
moved by a stepper motor through 760 discrete steps. The
piston is repositioned by microprocessor every 3 seconds.
The EXV is used to control superheat in compressor.
Two thermistors in each circuit (T5 and T7/T6 and T8) are
used to determine superheat. One thermistor (T5/T6) is
located in cooler and other (T7/T8) in compressor after
motor in the gas passage entering the cylinders. The EXV
is controlled to maintain superheat entering pistons at
approximately 15 F (8.3 C) to20F (11.1 C), which results
in slightly superheated refrigerant leaving cooler.
Both on shutdown and start-up, unless compressor has
run in last 15 minutes, compressor runs for 10 seconds,
while EXV is closed and removes refrigerant from cooler.
These pumpout cycles minimize amount of excess
refrigerant that can go to compressor on start-up and cause
oil dilution which would result in eventual bearing wear.
The microprocessor software is programmed so that
EXV functions as an MOP. (maximum operating pressure)
valve, limiting the suction temperatures to 55 F (12.8 C).
This makes it possible to start unit at high water tempera
tures, up to 95 F (35 C), without overloading compressor.
Another feature that is factory set (which may be eliminated
in the field by repositioning a dip switch on the micro
processor) limits rate of pulldown to 1°F (0.6°C) per minute
thereby reducing the kW demand on start-up.
Accessory controls — Demand can be further limited
by keeping a selected number of compressors from
turning on by utilizing demand limit control accessory.
This interfaces with microprocessor to control unit so
that chiller’s kW demand does not exceed its setting.
It is activated from an external switch.
Microprocessor is programmed to accept various
accessory temperature reset options, based on return
water temperature, outdoor temperature, or space
temperature, that reset the LCWT. An accessory
thermistor (TIO, above) is required if outdoor tempera
ture or space temperature reset is elected.
Compressor protection and control system (CPCS)
(30GB060) — Compressor protection boards are used
to control and protect compressors. One board is used
for each compressor to control compressor contactor(s)
and crankcase heater(s) in response to a command from
microprocessor. The board also provides compressor
ground current protection, shutting off compressor if a
2 to 3 ampere ground current is sensed by a toroid around
the compressor power leads. A high-pressure protector
and a discharge gas temperature protector are connected
in series with CPCS board, so that if they open, compressor
stops. Microprocessor senses this through feedback
switch input.
The CPCS control system is available as an accessory
on 30GB060. The 30GB060 unit is factory equipped with
a control relay that operates same as CPCS except that
ground current refrigerant circuit protection is not
provided.
Complete electronic control system contains several
additional components.
Relay board — Relay board, connected to microprocessor
by a ribbon cable, drives all of 24-v, 115-v, or 230-v loads.
Relays control compressors, fans, and unloaders, if used.
Display board — Display board, also connected to
microprocessor by a ribbon cable, is used to communicate
with operator. In addition to leaving water set point
potentiometer, board contains 2-digit LED display. The
LED display is normally off after initialization period,
to extend its life. Pressing display button will result in
LED displaying the appropriate overload or status code.
If this is done, display will show from one to 3 codes
alternating every 2 seconds, as follows:

Control sequence
Off cycle — During unit off cycle, crankcase and, if
ambient temperature is below 36 F (2 C), cooler and
control box heaters are energized. Electronic expansion
valves are closed.
Start-up — After control circuit ON/OFF circuit breaker
switched ON, prestart process takes place for 2 minutes,
when microprocessor checks itself and waits for tem
perature to stabilize. First circuit to start may be no. 1 or 2,
(automatic lead/lag feature). The controlled pull down
feature limits compressor loading on start-up to reduce
demand on start-up and unnecessary compressor usage.
The microprocessor limits supply water temperature
decrease (start-up only) to 1°F (0.6 C) per minute.
Capacity control — On first call for cooling, micro
processor starts initial compressor and fan stage on lead
circuit. The electronic expansion valve remains closed
for 10 seconds, permitting a pumpout on start-up. After
pumpout, the valves open and, if necessary, additional
outdoor fans are energized. Crankcase heaters are de
energized when a compressor is started. As additional
cooling is required, lag circuit starts. If further cooling is
needed, compressors are added, alternating between
lead and lag circuits. Speed at which capacity is added or
decreased is controlled by temperature deviation from
set point and rate of temperature change of chilled water.
As less cooling is required, circuits shut down (or
unload) in an order that evens out each circuit’s com
pressor run time. When no further cooling is called for
On each compressor circuit), expansion valve closes and
compressor and fans continue to run while pumping
down cooler.
Low-temperature override feature prevents LCWT
from overshooting the set point and possibly causing a
nuisance trip-out by the freeze protection.
High-temperature override feature allows chiller to
add capacity quickly during rapid load variations.
Demand limit — If applied, unit step controls limit
total power draw of unit to selected point by controlling
number of operational compressors during periods of
peak electrical demand or time clock shutdown. Consult
Accessory Demand Limit Control Module Installation
Instructions for further details.
Reset accessory — If applied, microprocessor compares
either return water, space or outdoor temperature with
the accessory board settings, and adjusts leaving chilled
water temperature appropriately.
Electronic expansion valve and outdoor fan control —
Expansion valve opens and closes on signal from micro
processor to maintain an approximate 20 F (11C)
refrigerant superheat entering the compressor cylinders.
(The compressor motor increases the refrigerant super
heat from the approximate 5 F [3 C] leaving the cooler to
that entering the cylinders.) Outdoor fans (operated by
microprocessor) run to as low an ambient as possible to
maintain a minimum expansion valve pressure differential.
Abnormal conditions (alarm light) — All control safeties
in chiller operate through compressor protection board
or control relay and microprocessor. High-pressure switch
and discharge gas thermostat directly shuts down
compressor(s) through compressor protection board or
control relay. For other safeties, microprocessor (1) makes
appropriate decision to shut down a compressor due to
a safety trip or bad sensor reading (2) energizes alarm light
and (3) displays appropriate failure code on the display.
Chiller holds in safety mode until reset. It then reverts to
normal control when unit is reset.
Safeties include: Oil-pressure switch cuts out if pressure
differential is below minimum. Switch is bypassed on
start-up for 45 seconds. Loss-of-charge switch cuts out if
system pressure drops below minimum. High-pressureswitch cuts out compressors if compressor discharge
pressure increases to 395 psig (2724 kPa). Discharge gasthermostat opens when discharge gas temperature
exceeds maximum 295 F (146 C). Ground current safety
opens on sensing a current-to-ground in compressor
windings in excess of 2.5 amps. Loss of flow protection
provided by temperature differences between entering
and leaving water temperature sensors. Flow switch is
not required. Freeze-up protection provided by leaving
water temperature sensor if cooler temperature drops
to 35 F (1.8 C). Sensor failures are detected by the
microprocessor.
Diagnostics — Microprocessor may be put through
Quick Test (see Controls and Troubleshooting book)
without additional equipment or tools. Quick Test
confirms microprocessor is functional, informs observer
through LED display the condition of each sensor and
switch in chiller, and allows observer to check for proper
operation of fans and compressor(s).
