The Dometic VARC (Variable Chiller) controls is a microcontroller-based unit designed to control multiple chillers. This design
allows the user flexibility in the application and improved controls and protection. The VARC Chiller uses a PID loop control to
manage the capacity of the chiller in single or multistage application. This completely variable capacity chiller uses a VFD to
modulate the speed of the compressor to achieve the desired chilled water setpoint. This allows the compressor to be ran at a
minimum speed of 30Hz to a maximum of 240 Hz.
The VARC48 uses a precision PID (proportional integral derivative) loop control algorithm that modulates the compressor speed
and balances chiller output with required load. This smooth operation eliminates large swings in current on the generator. The
VARC48 also uses the advanced technology of an Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV). This provides more precise control of
superheat across a broad range of conditions with no erratic swings as the valve reacts to temperature and pressure changes (no
“hunting”). Using an advanced algorithm, superior superheat control is maintained over extreme operating conditions.
This application supports the following:
The three main interfaces supported will be the LCD display, referred to as the PGD1 or PLDPRO display, and the HMI
touchscreen.

o Selection and sequencing of one chilled water pump and one sea water pump
o Selection and sequencing of up to 4 EH heaters
o Sequencing of devices for runtime equalization

The VARC chiller is a PLC based control system that uses a PID control loop to manage the capacity requirements of the system.
This control loop allows for finite control to match the capacity of the chiller to the thermal load demand on the system. This system
differs greatly from the on/off control of a standard chiller system, as it will modulate the speed of the compressor to increase or
decrease its capacity allowing for reduced current consumption by the electrical system.
The chiller system will come programmed from the factory with the options enabled for that system. Although the system offers
flexibility, these options can only be enabled by a factory representative.
The user will be able to select between Normal, Econo and Boost mode operation in single stage configuration. In a multistage
configuration the user will also be able to select between Normal or Accelerated startup to bring the system chilled water temperature
down faster or in the case of heat mode temperature higher.
The VARC controller is internally grounded with isolation between inputs and outputs. Additionally, the output relays offer double
isolation so that different voltages can be used for groups of relays.
The system will utilize various sensor types for measuring analog temperatures and pressures. For temperature measurements, the
system will use NTC type 10K@77° thermistors. Pressure transducers are ratiometric 0-650 PSI (45 bar) range for both suction and
discharge monitoring.
DIGITAL
IN
PUTS
Digital inputs are used to monitor the status of the protection circuits for the system.
Safety Inputs
All discrete inputs will be checked before the system will be enabled. Any faults detected on start-up must be verified and cleared
via the VARC before system will start normal operation.
Chilled Water Flow Switch
With the system in either heating or cooling mode the Flow switch must be closed prior to system starting or a stage being enabled.
In operation if Flow is lost for more than 10 consecutive seconds, the compressor or heat relay will be disabled. A flow switch fault
will be recorded and displayed.
A CW Flow fault will be recorded and system will be in lockout and a manual restart will be required. The VARC will not allow the
compressor or electric heat relay to be energized for the stage that has lost flow or the whole system if a common flow switch is being
used.
Fault must be manually acknowledged via the VARC and cleared prior to re-enabling the system or stage.
Refrigerant
The VARC will immediately acknowledge an open circuit if the HI pressure switch is tripped and de-energize the compressor. It will
record and display high pressure fault on the alarm screen. If the VARC detects a high pressure fault during operation, a HP fault will be
displayed and recorded. The VARC will not allow the compressor relay to be re-energized, until switch is in the closed position.
The fault must be manually ac knowledged via the VARC and cleared prior to re-enabling the system or stage.
High Side Pressure Limit
ANALOG INPUTS
High Limit Temperature Setpoint
The high limit temperature sensor is continuously monitored whether in Cooling, Reverse Cycle or Electric Heat mode.
This sensor is used to detect a high temperature condition in the supply water from the chiller. If the chilled water temperature is sensed
to be greater or equal to 125°F (51.7°C), all enabled compressor relays will be de-energized, turning off the compressor(s) if operating
in reverse cycle mode. If electric heat is being used, all enabled heater relays will be de-energized, turning off the heating element(s).
5
As the temperature falls, the compressor or electric heat relay will re-energize when the temperature reaches 110°F (43.3°C).
A high temperature fault will be recorded and displayed if the system exceeds the alarm set point. In a high te mperature situation,
VARC will not allo w the compressor or electric heat relay to be energized. The fault must be manually acknowledged on the active alarm
screen and cleared prior to re-enabling the system or stage.
If a temperature sensor is bad or not connected, the VARC will display an alarm for that sensor.
Freeze Temperature Setpoint
The low limit temperature sensor is continuously monitored whether in Cooling, Reverse Cycle or Electric Heat mode.
This sensor is used to detect a freeze condition in the supply water of the chiller. If the chilled water temperature is sensed to be equal to
or less than 38°F (3.3°C), then the compressor relay will be de-energized, shutting off the compressor. As the temperature rises, the
compressor relay will re-energize when the temperature reaches 42°F (5.6°C).
A low temperature fault will be recorded and displayed if the system falls below the alarm set point. In a low temperature situation,
VARC will not allow the compressor or electric heat relay to be energized. The fault must be manually acknowledged on the active
alarm screen and cleared prior to re-enabling the system or stage.
If a temperature sensor is bad or not connected, the VARC will display an alarm for that sensor.
Condenser Freeze Protection
The system is equipped with a temperature sensor mounted to the condenser coil. This sensor is there to sense the coil temperature. In
heat mode if the coil temperature drops below 40 °F, the VARC controls will automatically lower the speed of the compressor to half the
speed that it was currently running. The display will indicate “Freeze Defrost” while performing this operation.
PRESSURE
Suction Pressure
The suction pressure is continuously monitored by the VARC. If the suction pressure is below the alarm set point for longer than the
programmed time delay, a fault will occur. This low suction fault will be recorded and displayed on the alarm screen.
The fault must be manually acknowledged via the VARC and cleared prior to re-enabling the system or stage.
Discharge Pressure
The discharge pressure is continuously monitored by the VARC. If the discharge pressure is above the alarm set point for longer than the
programmed time, a fault will occur. This high pressure fault will be recorded and displayed on the alarm screen.
The fault must be manually acknowledged via the VARC and cleared prior to re-enabling the system or stage.

Power-up
MODBUS
The VARC comes with a 3 wire Modbus connection as part of the electrical box. This connection is used for multistage configuration,
touchscreen and networking to a boat management system.
Startup
The VARC Chiller controller can be operated as a single or a multistage chiller plant. During initial setup, the system will be configured for
the number of stages and the available options. System is set for Return water control but can be modified for Supply water control if
needed. The user has the option to select between metric values being displayed or Imperial values being displayed during operation of
the system.
In a multistage configuration the user will be able to change the different operating startup modes. The two startup modes are: normal
stage startup or accelerated mode startup. The normal startup is when the system has a time delay between the staging up of the various
stages. Stage one will be initiated and will start its operation once the PID determines that more capacity is required the second stage will
be initiated. While in operation and the system has maintained the chilled water loop and the PID has determined that that no additional
stage is required or has met capacity demand it will reduce the speed of the compressors. The compressors will operate at minimal
speed to maintain the chilled water loop. If the speed of the compressor still exceeds the demand the stage with the most run hours will
be turned off.
The VARC chiller allows the user to select between three operating modes. Econo mode, normal mode and boost mode. These three
modes allow the user to have predefined current limits. The economy mode is the energy efficient mode where the compressor is limited
to default five amp configuration. The normal mode is the typical mode of operation where the current limit is set to 9 Amps for both heat
and cool modes. The boost mode allows the system to run at maximum capacity without current limitation other than the full limits of the
frequency drives which is 12 amps.
Chilled water setpoint will be entered for Cool and Heat mode.
Once enabled, CW and SW pumps will be turned on for operation.
Operational
Once the VARC is enabled the system will conduct pre-startup checks. The VARC program will check all CW flow switches for faults. The
VARC will also check HP and LP (optional) switches for faults.
Individual stage faults will only disable that stage.
Checks
Compressor Startup
The VARC utilizes a BLDC compressor that is capable of operating at a very high frequency. This requires that the compressor have a
ramped startup to establish proper lubrication as to not damage the compressor. This startup has a ramp time and a minimal speed
operation that will last for 100 seconds to allow the compressor to properly warm-up before operating at maximum speed.
The compressor minimum on time is 100 seconds and minimum off time is also 100 seconds with a minimum time between starts of 120
seconds. These default parameters allow the compressor to operate in a safe mode that will not damage the compressor.

POINTS
Cooling
Cooling setpoint is a VARC adjustable parameter from 42°F (5.56°C) (for Supply control and 48°F Return control) to 55°F (13°C) in one
degree increments. To adjust the cooling setpoint, simply touch the VARC screen and change to desired new setpoint. In cooling mode,
you will not be able to enter a number outside of this range.
Heating
Heating setpoint is a VARC adjustable parameter from 100°F (38°C) to 114°F (45.56°C) in one degree increments. To adjust the
heating setpoint, simply touch the VARC screen and change to desired new setpoint. In heating mode you will not be able to enter a
number outside of this range.
C
ompressor Staging Time
Compressor staging time is a VARC adjustable parameter where 2 modes are selectable between normal and accelerated staging.
The accelerated staging is only available in a multistage configuration. The normal staging works the same as the on off system where
there is a time delay between the multiple stages driven by the PID loop. The accelerated staging is only available during initial startup
in a multistage configuration. This accelerated startup is when all available stages are turned on simultaneously. The stages will start
the ramp-up process at the same time after the fixed startup delay. After this delay the units will ramp the maximum speed to achieve
maximum capacity.
ooling
Compressor rotation is active during run mode. The compressor with the lowest running hours will be enabled first and compressor with
the highest running hours will be disabled first.
First stage will be enabled and the compressor will start after CW and SW flows are stable for 10 seconds (default).
First stage will continue to run for 1 minute before enabling the next stage. If the PID loop requires demand, then the next stage will be
enabled with a startup delay of 3 minutes before running up to required speed.
Compressor rotation is active during run mode. The compressor with the lowest running hours will be enabled first and compressor with
the highest running hours will be disabled first.
Enable Reverse Cycle Heat only for the system.
First stage heating will be enabled and the compressor will start after CW and SW flows are stable for 10 seconds.
First stage will continue to run for 5 minutes before enabling the next heater stage. If the PID loop requires demand, then the next
stage will be enabled with a startup delay of 3 minutes before running up to required speed.
(optional heater barrel)
Heater rotation is active during run mode. The heater with the lowest running hours will be enabled first and the heater with the highest
running hours will be disabled first.
Enable Electric Heat only for the system.
First stage will be enabled and the electric heater will start after CW flow is stable for 10 seconds.
First stage will continue to run for 5 minutes before enabling the next heater stage. If the PID loop requires demand then the next
stage will be enabled.

The sea water pump will have a selectable operating mode between continuous operation or cycle with compressor operation. The
default configuration is to cycle with the demand.
The sea water pump relay shall close 5 seconds before the compressor starts in heating or cooling modes and will open 5 seconds
after the last compressor cycle is completed. If immersion heating is available and used, the sea water pump will be disabled.
In a multistage configuration the pump outputs can be daisy chained at the back of the unit to supply power to the pumps. This will
allow any stage to supply power to the pumps when being staged on and off and as a redundant control for the pumps.

Cooling Mode
Cooling mode is entered when Cool is selected on the touchscreen or with the display buttons. The system will automatically start cooling
depending on temperature setpoint. The pumps will operate as described in the pump operation section.
oThe board will energize the compressor relay if return water/supply water temperature is above the cooling setpoint and the
staging delay has elapsed.
oThe compressor will continue to run until the cooling setpoint has been reached or an alarm condition exists. A stage will have a
minimum run time of 100 seconds before it can be turned off and a minimum off time of 120 seconds before it can be re-enabled.
This minimum on time is required to ensure that the system is not cycling on and off and not allowing the compressor to properly
warm-up. This ensures proper oil lubrication of the system
o If the system calls for a stage to be toggled on/off, the next available stage will be used that meets the staging criteria.
o Load shedding will occur in multistage operation when approaching chilled water setpoint.
o The reversing valve is toggled to relieve head pressure at the end of a compressor run cycle.
Heating Mode
Reverse Cycle Heating mode is entered when Heat is selected on the touchscreen or with the display buttons. The system will
automatically start heating depending on the temperature setpoint. The pumps will operate as described in the pump operation section.
o The reversing valve relay will be energized to change the unit to operate in Reverse Cycle Heating mode.
o The VARC will energize the compressor relay if return/supply water temperature below the programmed heating setpoint and
the staging delay has elapsed. The compressor will continue to run and the reversing valve will remain energized until the
heating setpoint has been reached or an alarm condition exists. As setpoint is reached, the compressor will reduce its speed to
maintain the water temperature. Once it has reached temperature and a hysteresis of 1 degree the unit will turn off the
compressor. Once it has turned off the compressor the reversing valve will de- energize after a 2-second delay.
oA stage will have a minimum run time of 3 minutes before it can be turned off and a minimum off time of 3 minutes before it
can be re-enabled. If the system calls for a stage to be toggled on/off, the next available stage will be used that meets the
staging criteria.
Electric Heating mode is entered when Electric Heat is selected on the touchscreen or with the display buttons. The system will
automatically start heating depending on the temperature setpoint.
oThe VARC will energize the heater relay if return/supply water temperature is below the programmed setpoint and the staging
delay has elapsed in a multistage configuration.
