GENERAL
Packaged chillers are designed to cool water or other noncorrosive liquids. Water is circulated through the direct expansion cooler where it is cooled to the desired temperature
then circulated to cooling coils for air conditioning, or to
other types of heat exchangers for process cooling.
Care should be taken to see that the equipment is properly
installed and adjusted. An installer or operator should first
become familiar with the information contained in this
manual.
INSPECTION
When the equipment is delivered, it is important that the following inspection be completed in the presence of the carrier’s
representative.
LOCATION & CLEARANCE
Location of the equipment and the size of the equipment
room require careful consideration of the following factors:
1. Route by which the chiller will be moved within the build
ing to the equipment room. Make sure there are adequate
clearance and floor strength through doors and passage
ways.
2. Space required for final connections and for normal equipment maintenance. Sufficient clearance should be allowed,
between unit and walls, to permit cleaning or repair of
cooler tubes.
3. Effect of location on piping sizes and piping layout.
4. Location of service facilities; power supply, water and
approved drainage.
5. Motor starting restrictions of local power company.
1. Check all crates and cartons received against the Bill of
Lading/Shipping Papers to be sure they agree.
2. Check the model number and the electrical characteristics
on the nameplate to determine if they are correct.
3. Check for freight damage, shortages or other discrepan
cies and note them on the delivery receipt before
signing.
In the event that any damage is found, a damage claim should
immediately be filed by the purchaser against the delivering
carrier as all shipments are F.O.B. Factory.
STORAGE
The HRSC unit is designed for indoor use and should be
stored indoors and/or protected from the elements.
RIGGING
General - Each unit has been carefully tested and crafted at
the factory where every precaution is taken to assure that
the unit reaches you in perfect condition. It is very important
that the riggers and movers should use the same care and
precaution in moving the equipment into place. Make sure
that chains, cables, or other moving equipment are placed
so as to avoid damage to the unit or piping. The refrigerant
piping must not be used as a ladder or as a hand hold. Do
not attach a chain hoist sling to the piping or equipment.
Move the unit in an upright position and let it down gently
from trucks or rollers.
Another consideration which must be taken into account is
that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive
spaces and must have adequate support to avoid vibration
and noise transmission into the building. Units should be
mounted over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms or other
auxiliary areas where sound levels are not an important factor. Sound and structural consultants should be retained for
recommendations on critical installations.
FOUNDATION
A flat concrete foundation or floor, which can support the
weight of the equipment, must be provided. The unit must
be level for proper operation and functioning of controls.
VIBRATION ISOLATION
Under certain critical conditions, it may be necessary to install vibration isolators under the base of the Packaged Chiller.
Rubber-in-shear or spring vibration isolators are offered as
optional items. When spring isolators are used, flexible connections must be installed in the water piping system and in
the refrigerant lines of split systems. Note: These flexible connectors must be suitable for the fluid and pressures involved.
All piping which is external to the packaged chiller must be
supported by spring mounted hangers and any piping which
goes through the wall, ceiling or floor should be properly
sheathed to prevent transmission of piping vibration to the
structure.
Rigging and Moving - Any unit mounted on skids may be
moved with a forklift, but care must be taken not to damage
the unit with forks. The skids should not be removed until
the unit is at its final location.
The HRSC units are to be rigged thru the holes in the base
side rails. In all cases, spreader bars must be used between
rigging lines to prevent damage. The unit must be lifted
using All Rigging Points. Refer to Rigging Instructions on
pages 29 & 30.
When spring isolators are used, electrical service to the unit
must also be flexibly connected, by means of a 36" section of
flexible conduit.
PIPING CONNECTIONS
Water Connections, Chilled Water Piping - After the unit
has been leveled, the external water piping may be made
up. Be sure water piping is connected to the correct fittings.
The water out connection is closest to the expansion valve
(R-in) end. A chilled water flow switch must be installed in
the external chilled water outlet piping.
2
It must be located in a horizontal section on the pipe where
there are at least five (5) pipe diameters on both sides of the
flow switch before any other connections. The flow switch
paddle must be adjusted to the size pipe in which the paddle
is installed. Consult the wiring diagram accompanying
the unit for the electrical connections to interlock the flow
switch with the control panel.
Water flow through the cooler must remain constant for
proper chiller operation. Water pressure gauges are recommended to check the water pressure and flow rate in the
system, before and after the cooler, and to determine if variations occur in the cooler and system.
Method B. Install units the same as Method A, but add a
third thermostat in the return water, as shown in Figure 1 E.
This thermostat will be set to cycle off one of the units when
the load drops below 40%. When this condition is reached,
leaving mixed water temperature will rise, causing the return water temperature to rise and the unit operating will
load up. The “off” unit is sequenced to start again before
full system load temperature is reached.
This system will not provide as stable an operation as Method
A, but in normal air conditioning applications, this is not
detrimental. The advantage of Method B is a better part load
efficiency.
When installing pressure taps to measure the amount of
pressure drop across the water side of the cooler, the taps
should be located in the water piping a minimum of twentyfour (24) inches downstream from any connections (flange,
elbow, etc.).
There are many piping and control systems which may be
used to assure constant water flow through the cooler. A
typical system is shown in Figure 1 A. It uses a three way
motorized valve which operates in response to the discharge
air temperature of the cooling coil.
Another system which is sometimes used consists of a two
way modulating control valve, which also responds to the
discharge air temperature of the cooling coil, used in conjunction with a spring loaded bypass regulating valve as
shown in Figure 1B. The bypass valve must be set to assure
the full flow of circulating chilled water when the modulating valve is completely closed.
Other systems are noted in the ASHRAE Handbook and may
serve equally well. Whatever system is selected, water flow
must be constantly maintained through the chiller.
If the system is arranged for the dual purpose of cooling in
the summer and heating in the winter,
THE COOLER MUST
BE VALVED OFF DURING THE HEATING SEASON SO THAT
HOT WATER WILL NOT PASS THROUGH THE COOLER. THIS
MAY BE EITHER A MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC CHANGE-OVER
OPERATION. There are also times, such as early spring and
late fall, when both heating and cooling are required. This
should also be considered when designing heating and cooling systems. For various piping arrangements, consult the
ASHRAE Handbook.
Water Connections - Multiple Packaged Chillers - Multiple unit packaged chillers have been successfully applied
to parallel and series piping systems for years. Special attention, however, must be given to the particulars involved for
each application or serious operational problems can result.
Series Chilled Water Flow Units - Units should be equally
sized. The upstream unit will carry a larger load because it
cools higher temperature water. The controllers are to sense
leaving water temperatures (see Figure 1D). The number 1
unit controller should be set to start the unit at system design leaving water temperature plus 50% of the minimum
loading of the number 1 unit times unit number 1 design
temperature differential [example: system design supply
water temperature is 45°F, design temperature differential
is 12°F; Unit #1 minimum loading is 15% and the design
temperature difference is 6.5°F: (.5 x 12) + (.15 x 6.5) +45
= 52°F]. The number 1 unit controller should be set to cycle
the unit off at system supply water temperature plus number 2 unit design temperature differential times .9 [example:
45°F + (.9 x 5.5) = 50°F]. These settings will ensure enough
load on the number 1 unit to prevent short cycling.
The above series flow controller set points are for the electromechanical units. Contact the factory for microcomputer
controlled units.
Water Quality - Coolers used in these packages are made of
steel, copper and brass and are suitable for operation with
well-maintained water systems. However, if the water used
in cooler is corrosive, high in mineral content or entrained
solids, the water can cause reduced performance and even
failure of heat exchangers. Therefore, it may be necessary to
obtain the services of a water treatment consultant and to
provide and maintain water treatment. This is particularly
important with glycol systems.
For information concerning the installation, operation and
servicing of Dunham-Bush coolers, consult the latest revision
of Form 8110.
The following are guidelines which should be followed for
multiple unit application. NOTE: A constant chilled water
flow rate is assumed to be maintained through all coolers.
Parallel Chilled Water Flow Units - Method A. Both units
operate simultaneously, modulating with load variations.
Each packaged chiller operating controller senses leaving
water temperature using standard controls (see Figure 1 C).
The set point of each controller will be set to maintain the
desired unloading.

HRSC SYSTEM REFRIGERANT PIPING
• Horizontal lines must pitch 1/2" per 10 feet in the direction of refrigerant flow.
• Each refrigerant circuit must be piped independently.
• Lines must be sized according to latest edition of ASHRAE Handbook. Liquid lines should be sized based on 100°F liquid
subcooling at the condenser.
• Maximum of 50 linear feet of refrigerant line length (contact factory if application requires longer runs).
• All installations require authorized Dunham-Bush start up.
• Factory is to review all field piping.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All units are wired as completely as possible at the factory
prior to delivery. The connections which must be made by
the installer are to the main power source, control power
source, remote condenser, and interlocking the satellite
equipment. In connecting power wiring to the unit, the following precautions should be taken:
¥ All field wiring is to be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and state and local codes.
¥ Due to transport & rigging all wiring is to be checked
for damage and all terminal connections tested for tightness. Unit terminal blocks are to be connected with copper conductors only, sized per ampacity listed on unit
data plate.
¥ The power supply should match the unit nameplate in
volts, phase and Hertz. Voltage must be within ± 10% of
name-
plate value and voltage imbalance between
phases must not exceed 2%.
¥ For minimum circuit ampacity and maximum fuse
size, see Unit Nameplate.
Refer to the unit nameplate data for the minimum circuit
ampacity and maximum allowable dual element fuse size.
The factory supplied field power block is sized to accept
wires sized per NEC, 75C (3-in-conduit) up to 500MCM as
required. When multiple wires per pole are required to stay
at or below 500MCM, the power block supplied will have
multiple wire per pole capability.
A separate 15 amp 11 5V field power supply is required to
power the main control circuit (which includes the compressor sump heaters) unless the control transformer option is included.
GENERAL
The unit should be started up only by a refrigeration technician who is familiar with accepted operation practices for refrigeration systems.
Use small screw unit start-up report, Form NS1157 to record
all temperature, pressure, electrical readings and control set-
tings. A copy must be forwarded to Dunham- Bush, Inc., North
American Service, Harrisonburg, Virginia before the warranty
will be honored.
HRSC REMOTE AIR COOLED CHILLER START-UP
The unit is ready for start-up when the following procedures have been completed.
1. Water piping for the cooler is installed and tested.
(If cleaning agents are used to clean system, be sure to
select an agent that will not harm the chiller or other
system components. Do not allow water to stagnate and
corrode.
OPERATION - HRSC
2. Electrical connections are made and properly fused.
3. Unit has been leak tested, leaks corrected, and charge completed.
Compressor crankcase heater(s) has been energized for a
4.
minimum of 24 hours.
5. Calibrated refrigerant gages have been connected to the
suction and discharge.
6. Turn on the chilled water pump, check direction of rotation
and adjust the water flow through the cooler to the specified flow rate. Bleed off all entrained air.
7. Manually energize the fan starters and check the fan rotation. Fans should pull air through the condenser coil and
discharge vertically upwards.
8. Check all refrigerant valves to be sure they are open.
9. Proceed to System Start-up.
SYSTEM START UP
1. Request for Start-Up Representative - Start-up service is an
option for these units and is requested when the unit is
5
ordered. If you purchased start-up service, then after the
installation has been completed and checked, Form 9180
must be filled out and sent to the local Dunham- Bush
representative who sold the unit. Following receipt of this
signed form, a representative will be sent to the customer.
The purchaser should have competent service and operating personnel in attendance to assist in the work involved, and also to be trained in the operation and maintenance of this unit.
The representative will inspect the installation to determine whether it meets Dunham-Bush, Inc. requirements,
perform the initial start-up of the installation, determine
whether it is in satisfactory operating condition, and instruct specified customer personnel in its operation and
maintenance for the length of time specified in the purchase contract.
NOTE: Sump oil heaters should be energized a minimum
of 24 hours and the oil sump temperature must be at a
minimum of 100°F (38°C) prior to arrival of start-up representative. This will ensure that the oil is warm enough
to vaporize any dissolved refrigerant and that the oil is
within the normal operating temperature range.
3. Start compressor(s), check the gages and note if the
pressures are within the prescribed limits.
4. Check the refrigerant sightglass at the TX Valve to be sure
it is free of bubbles. If not, charge as required to clean
sight glass.
5. Stage unit down until all compressors are off and check
the compressor crankcase sight glass for oil level. It should
be 1/2 to 3/4 of the compressor sight glass. If not, see procedure for adding oil on page 7.
6. Restart the compressor. After an hour of operation, the
expansion valve superheat setting should be checked, it
should be between 9°Fand 12°F at full load design conditions. In some instances, it will be necessary to lower the
superheat setting to ensure proper distribution. Turn the
TX valve adjustment stem clockwise to increase the superheat setting and counterclockwise to decrease the setting.
Be sure and allow ample time between each adjustment
for the system to re-balance.
7. The electrical control settings should be checked and, if
necessary, reset to those settings indicated on the wiring
diagram. Safety controls are factory set and must be maintained at settings indicated on the wiring diagram.
2. Before starting the compressor(s), check all three phases
of supply voltage, of all legs of the motor. They must be
within ± 10% of the nameplate voltage. Check to be sure
compressor is not running backwards.
MAINTENANCE
COMPRESSOR
1. OIL LEVEL - The oil level in the compressor(s) should be
checked periodically, with the compressor stopped. Stage
the unit down until all compressors are off and check the
compressor crankcase sight glass for oil level. If the oil level
is below one half (1/2) the sight glass, oil must be added.
2. A. RECOMMENDED OIL FOR R-22 MACHINES

B. RECOMMENDED OIL FOR 407C MACHINES
DO NOT USE DB Karlube #10.
Compressor Models SSCA use DB Karlube #16 Oil.
Compressor Models SSCB use DB Karlube #21 Oil.
Contact factory for price.
The above-listed oils are synthetic lubricants of the Polyol
Ester (POE) type. Due to the complex nature of the POE,
great precaution must be taken to prevent any moisture
from entering the system when servicing or adding oil. POE
oil has a greater solvency for water. Water reacts chemically with the ester to form acids and alcohols in a process
called “hydrolysis”. POE molecules attract moisture. Moisture removal by evacuation is more difficult because the
POE “holds water more tightly” than mineral oil. Moisture
causes corrosion and copper plating at an unacceptable,
high level. This reaction occurs where temperatures are the
highest within the compressor.
To prevent moisture entering the system and contaminating
the oil, extra care is necessary. Follow the enclosed procedure to add or remove oil from the system.
A - The compressor is factory
8. The temperatures of the chilled water both in and out,
should be checked to insure the unit is operating within
the desired temperatures.
The holding tank must be clean and free of any moisture. (Evacuate tank to 200 microns). The holding tank
can be a receiver or reclaiming tank of a size large enough
for the total oil change and must be able to withstand
the operating pressure of the system. When adding oil, it
should be transferred from the container supplied to a
holding tank and then evacuated through the vapor port
down to 100 microns with no more than a 50 micron rise
per hour. Do not allow the container to vent to the atmosphere as the transfer must be done through a closed
loop. An oil pump will be required.
PROCEDURE FOR ADDING OIL
Manually close liquid line service valve. Lower return wa-
ter T-stat (4TAS) setting to start the compressor. Run compressor until unit shuts down on low pressure. Place the
control circuit on/off switch in the off position. Locate
the high pressure port adjacent to solenoid valve UL-3
(see drawing page 8) and remove the cap. Attach oil pump
to holding tank high pressure port. Pump oil into this
port until the oil level is 1/2 of the sight glass.
Replace the port cap, open the liquid line shut off valve
and place the control circuit on/off switch in the on position. Set the operating T-stat to the normal operating
temperature and reset the low pressure switch.
Oil can also be added, through the suction port of the
compressor, while running the compressor.
3. COMPRESSOR REPAIRS (internal) - Contact factory or an
authorized DB Service Agency if a compressor malfunction is suspected.
4. COMPRESSOR REPAIRS (External) - Proper operation of
unloaded start, loading, and unloading is controlled by
solenoid valves UL-1, UL-2 and UL-3. Any of these three (3)
solenoid valves may be repaired or replaced in the field,
as required. Also the compressor crankcase heater may be
replaced.
5. Standard oil acid test kit is not compatible with synthetic
oil. See DB color chart for oil condition.

SLIDE VALVE
UNLOADING SYSTEM
The DB screw compressor capacity control system for infinite
modulation consists of a slide valve and hydraulic piston/
cylinder operator internal to the compressor, plus three hydraulic solenoid valves (UL-1, UL-2, & UL-3) piped externally.
the oil return (low pressure) line. The slide valve will move
to the right (unloading) whenever UL-2 opens the oil supply
(high pressure) line, since the force of the oil exceeds that of
the discharge gas.
The slide valve forms a portion of the chamber wall in which
the rotors turn; thus, its position with respect to the rotors
determines the effective rotor length and thereby the percent of full load capacity.
Upon compressor start-up, UL-3 is opened (energized). This
allows oil pressure to act upon the hydraulic piston, holding
it in the fully unloaded position. After 30 seconds, during
which time full oil flow is established to all bearing surfaces,
UL-3 is closed (de-energized). At this point, temperature controller is free to open or close UL-1 and UL-2 in response to
the supply water temperature.
The slide valve will move to the left (loading) by force of
discharge pressure, whenever UL-1 opens to permit flow to
The temperature controller sends a series of electrical “pulses”
to the appropriate solenoid to adjust to load conditions. The
further the supply water temperature is from the controller
set point, the longer is the duration of the pulses. The series
of pulses will continue until the controller is satisfied. As the
water temperature approaches the set point, the pulses become quite brief to prevent overshooting the set point.
This method of compressor unloading, in conjunction with
supply water sensing, minimizes action/reaction lag time and
overshoot resulting in an exceptionally precise and stable
control of supply water temperature.

CONDENSER HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL
General
All units require some means to keep the condensing pressure high enough to insure adequate expansion valve feed
to the cooler to prevent low side pressure trips, particularly
during cold starts.
THE RECOMMENDED SPD-SD REMOTE AIR COOLED CONDENSER
Standard Factory Installed Fan Cycling
This commonly applied scheme cycles condenser fans “on”
and “off “ in response to head pressure to maintain the head
pressure within an acceptable range for proper system operation. This method will permit starting and sustained running to 30°F ambient.

The minimum ambient shown above reflects the performance
of the condenser surface exposed to the operational fan(s)
as well as that portion of the surface rejecting heat by natural convection with related fans “off”. To further assist low
ambient starts, all fans are held “off” until the head pressure
reaches 260 psig. This alone cannot insure sustained operation if the system load is not high enough to produce the
minimal pressures required.
Operational Variable Speed Fan Control
This scheme utilizes fan cycling but also adds speed control
to the lead fan of each refrigerant circuit. This feature not
only serves to stabilize the head pressure between normal
fan staging but also allows for virtually “no fan” operation
down to 0°F ambient.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION (TYPICAL) MODELS
The following sequence of operation is typical for all Electromechanical HRSC models. Refer to the wiring diagram furnished with the unit for specific information.
Important Note!
With all the control circuit switches (SW1-SW3) in the “off”
position and the staging thermostat (T1) to its highest temperature, there must be a 115 volts supplied to the compressor crankcase heaters (CCH1,2) for a minimum of 24 hours.
Preliminary Sequence
Close the main power disconnect switch. Check to see that
the red indicating light on the phase loss monitor (PLM1) is
lit. (Note: There will be two phase loss monitors, (PLM1) and
(PLM2) on dual power block models). This light must be on
to indicate proper phase rotation for the compressors. If the
light is not on, disconnect the main power and reverse any
two phase legs at the Main Incoming Power Terminal Block.
(Warning! DO NOT REVERSE THE LEADS ON THE PHASE
LOSS MONITOR FOR THIS WILL ALLOW THE COMPRESSORS
TO RUN BACKWARDS, CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE, AND
WILL VOID THE COMPRESSOR WARRANTY!).
The crankcase heater relay contacts are closed and are supplying power to the compressor crankcase heaters.
Control power goes through the control panel circuit breaker
(CB1) and customer supplied control (if supplied).
Start up the chilled water pump. An auxiliary contact on the
chilled water pump closes. The water flow is confirmed when
the water flow switch completes the electrical circuit. Set
the thermostat (T1) to the desired leaving water temperature (e.g. 44°F.). Set point Adjustment is accomplished directly on the control.
Place the three (3) control circuit switches (SW1-SW3) in the
“On” position, thus energizing the balance of the control
circuit. The system will be in the “Time-In” mode for five
minutes before the first compressor will start.
The low temperature freezestat (T2) must also be satisfied to
allow compressor operation.
Stage 1 Loading
Upon demand for cooling, the first step of the staging thermostat (T1) will close energizing relays (R1) and time delay
(TD1). If all the safety controls and switches are closed, (see
“Safety Controls” section for more detail) the control circuit
for Compressor No. 1 will energize, allowing the compressor
to start. Power is supplied to condenser fan interlock terminal CT19 and CT2 to enable the remote condenser fan circuit. Relay (R5) will energize, closing the normally open set
of contacts, which energizes the liquid line solenoid valve
(SOL1). Another set of normally open contacts on (R5) provide a series interlock with all the safety and operating controls, which will lockout the compressor if any safety trips
during normal operation. (See Note 6 on Wiring Diagram).
The last set of normally closed contacts on (R5) open and deenergizes (CCH1).
Time Delay (TD1) has two (2) sets of contacts: The first set of
(TD1) normally closed contacts provides a 30 second jumper
around the low pressure control (LP1) to prevent short cycling during start-up. The second set of (TD1) normally closed
contacts powers the unloader solenoid (UL3-1) which holds
the compressor in the full unload position for 30 seconds.
After (TD1) times out (30 seconds), the contacts for the
unloader solenoid (UL3-1) open and the normally open contacts close, which energizes the relay (R3). Upon energizing
relay (R3) the normally open contacts of relay (R3) are closed,
allowing the thermostat (T1) to energize the load (UL1-1)
and the unload solenoid (UL2-1) upon demand.
9
Stage 2 Loading
Subsequent to the start of Compressor No.1 an approximate
five minute time delay is incorporated into the microcomputer. After this time delay, and a further call for cooling, the
second step of the staging thermostat (T1) will close. This
will energize relay (R2) and time delay (TD2). If all the safety
controls and switches are closed, (see “Safety Control’ section for more details) the control circuit for compressor No.2
will energize, allowing the compressor to start. Power is supplied to condenser fan interlock terminal CT20 and CT2 to
enable the remote condenser fan circuit. Relay (R6) will energize, allowing the liquid line solenoid valve (SOL2) to energize. Relay (R6) will energize the safety controls the same as
compressor No.1 circuit.
SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE
Time delay (TD2) will provide a 30 second jumper around
the low pressure control (LP2) and will energize the full unload solenoid (UL3-2) for 30 seconds then energize relay (R4).
Upon energizing relay (R6), the crankcase heater (CCH2) is
de-energized and the normally open contacts of relay (R4)
are closed, allowing the thermostat (T1) to energize the load
solenoid (UL2-1) and the unload solenoid (UL2-2) upon demand. Relays (R1) and (R2) will interlock the water pump
starters.
Stage 2 Shutdown
After both compressors have unloaded fully and the leaving
water temperature is still lower than the set-point, the second step of the thermostat (T1) will open and de-energize
relay (R2), providing an approximate five minute time delay,
again integral with the microcomputer to the start of Compressor No.2. This will close the liquid line solenoid (SOL2)
condenser fan control contactor and turn off Compressor
No.2. Compressor No.1 will load and unload as required.
Compressor No. 2 will not be able to restart for five minutes
due to integral time delays.
STAR-DELTA STARTING
OPEN TRANSITION
Time delay relay (TD1) closes, energizing start contactor (S1)
and the five second transition timer (TD9). Contactor (S1)
closes, tying the center legs of the motor windings together
into the “Star” (wye) configuration. (S1) N.O. auxiliary contacts close and energize motor starter (C1), starting the compressor motor. This motor starter is then “held in” by (C1)
N.O. auxiliary contacts.
MICROCOMPUTER CONTROLLER
1. General Description
Your Dunham-Bush HRSC is controlled by an NC25 microcomputer system. The computer system is composed of a
main microcomputer board, several types of input/output (I/
O) boards, and sensors. The I/O boards are connected to the
microcomputer by ribbon cables. These hardware components are controlled by the software program in the microcomputer. The software determines the state of the output
relays based on the input values.
There are two types of inputs to the computer system. A
digital input indicates whether or not voltage is present at
the input. This could be used to determine whether or not a
contactor is pulled in, a water flow switch is made, or the
status of other on/off devices. Another type of input is an
analog input. An analog value is one that varies continuously, such as temperature, pressure, current, etc. An analog input must be converted to a digital value with an analog to digital (A/D) converter board before the computer can
process the data.
The computer system outputs are relays that switch the 115
VAC control devices such as contactors and solenoids.
The software for the computer is stored in three different

If the leaving water temperature is still lower than the setpoint, the first step of the thermostat (T1) will open and deenergize relay (R1). This will close the liquid line solenoid
(SOL1) condenser fan control contactor and turn off Compressor No.1 as long as it has run for approximately three
minutes. Compressor No.1 will not be able to restart for five
minutes.
After five seconds (TD9) N.O. contacts close, de-energizing
“Star’ contactor (S1) and energizing run contactor C2 through

Capacity Control of Screw Compressors
The capacity of a compressor can be controlled
manually or automatically.
The status of a compressor can be observed by
displaying the compressor control point (1/CP, 4/CP,
7/CP or 10/CP). One of the following messages will
be displayed where # is 1, 4, 7 or 10 for compressors 1, 2, 3 or 4:
CP# COMP LOAD COMComputer load
CP# COMP CURRENT STATUS: LOAD Manual load
CP# COMP HOLD COMComputer hold
CP# COMP CURRENT STATUS: HOLD Manual hold
CP# COMP UNLD COMComputer
CP# COMP CURRENT STATUS: UNLD Manual unload
CP# COMP OFF COMOff on a normal
CP# COMP COFF COMOff on timer
CP# COMP LOFF MANManual off or
Automatic Control
4.1.1
The computer calculates the operating percent capacity of a compressor by measuring
discharge pressure and amps. This operating
percent capacity is then compared to a target percent capacity. If the operating
capacity is outside of a
+ 3% deadband, the
load or unload solenoids are pulsed to
match the operating and target percent
capacities. Since all compressors have
the same target, their percent capacities are
balanced.
The target percent capacity is given a fixed
value when a compressor starts or stops.
This value is then increased or decreased
based on how far the leaving water temperature (TLW) is from setpoint and also on
how fast the TLW is approaching setpoint.
The target percent capacity will not change
if the temperature is within a temperature
deadband around the setpoint.
Some packages may have logic that prevents
loading if the leaving water temperature is
falling (negative derivative) at a certain rate.
The desired leaving water temperature is
typically stored in setpoint 1 A.
Calibrations of Amps Calculation at Full Load
The amps calculation is calibrated at the
factory and does not normally need to be
altered. If a compressor is replaced or
improper operation is observed, the amps
values can be calibrated as follows:
1. Check calibration of discharge pressure,
and amps. NOTE: Calibrate amps with
13
potentiometer on filter board.
unload
control shutdown
(clock off)
safety shutdown
2. Manually load the compressor(s) to full load.
This can be done one compressor at a time if
necessary.
3. Locate the amps and full load amps (FLA)
analog locations from the analog input menu
for the compressor being calibrated.
4. When the compressor(s) are at full load and
conditions are close to design, record the
amps and FLA analog values.
5. If the values do not match within 2-3 amps,
do the following calculation: AMPS - FLA
6. Locate the amps calculation A setpoint for the
compressor from the setpoint menu.
The setpoint is labeled FLA # CON, where
is 1 through 4 for each compressor number. 7.
7. Add the value obtained in step 5 to the amps
calculation A setpoint value from step 6.
8. Change the amps calculation setpoint to the
new value.
9. Verify that amps and FLA now match closely.
10. Manually unload the compressor all the way.
11. Locate the percent full load capacity (%FLCP)
for the compressor from the analog input
menu and record the value.
12. If the value is 25% ±3%, no change is required. If the value is less than 22% or greater
than 28%, locate the %FLA # CON setpoint B.
If the setpoint is equal to 25.0, change it to
the value observed in step 11 and proceed to
step 13. If the setpoint is not equal to 25.0,
change it to 25.0 and repeat steps 11 and 12.
13. Repeat this procedure for each compressor.
4.1.2
Manual Control
Screw compresors can be controlled manually
with the key pad. A compressor can be turned
on, off, or placed in computer control. When a
compressor is controlled manually, it can be commanded to load, hold, or unload. If current limit
is active, it will not accept a load command.
To place a compressor in manual control,
which turns it on, use the following procedure:
1 . Log in for authorization.
2. Address desired compressor (1, 4, 7, or 10
control point).
3. Press ENTER to modify status.
4. Use up or down arrow keys to select ON
MAN.
5. Press ENTER. The compressor will start or
continue to run in hold state.
6. Press 0 to return to computer control, 1 to
hold, 2 to load, 3 to unload. Note:
Compressors will not load past amp limits.
7. Use menu key or arrows to access other
data.
If a safety condition is exceeded while operating manually, the compressor will shutdown.
To put all compressors back into computer
control from a locked off state, press RESET.
14
CAUTION: Anti-recycle timer is bypassed by
manual control. DO NOT start a compressor more
than once every 15 minutes.
NOTE: All compressors will revert back to auto-
matic control if the computer is not given a
load, unload or hold command at least once
every 15 minutes. A command can be repeated
to meet the 15 minute requirement for manual
control.
4.2.
Staging of Compressors
The staging of compressors is based on leaving
water temperature and the capacity calculations
mentioned in section 4.1. When the percent
capacity target gets up to full load and temperature is above deadband, a time delay of one or
two minutes is initiated before starting the next
compressor. When the capacity target falls below
a stored setpoint and temperature is below the
deadband, a compressor is turned off.
The percent capacity values that the computer is
calculating can be displayed by addressing the
analog input menu.
Compressor Current Limiting
4.3.
The amp limit B setpoint on the unit control data
sheet is the amp value at which the compressor
will be prevented from loading. The amp limit A
setpoint is the amp value at which the compressor will be given an unload command until the
current drops below the A setpoint.
If the values are changed, the difference between the hold and unload points should not be
decreased below 10% of compressor RLA so that
oscillations will not occur.
4.4.
Ramp Control
Ramp control can be implemented with the
microcomputer. Whenever the unit starts with
leaving water temperature greater than 5°F
above setpoint, a ramp up is generated. The
ramp start B setpoint specifies the percent
capacity target at which the ramp begins on the
first compressor. This can be set between 25 &
100 percent. The ramp rate A setpoint specifies
the maximum amount that can be added to
the target at each compressor control interval.
Thus a ramp rate of 0.1 produces the longest
ramp rate. Table 1 gives sample ramp times for
various ramp rate setpoints and start points for a
two-compressor machine.
TABLE 1
Sample Ramp Times (Minutes) For a TwoCompressor Unit with a 2 Second Compressor
Control Interval

Rate Start Pt. Start Pt. Start Pt.
Setpoint Setpoint Setpoint Setpoint
.1385042
.2292521
.3191714
.4151210
A formula for calculating ramp time in minutes is
T = [(# compressors x 100) - start pt.] x Compressor
Control Interval/(Ramp rate x 60)]
The compressor control interval can be determined by
timing the frequency of load/unload pulses given to a
compressor. It is typically 2 seconds.
4.5.
Manual Lead/Lag Selection
The lead compressor can be selected by the lead
B setpoint. The number stored in this setpoint
should be one less than the desired compressor
number. So a 0.0 in the setpoint specifies compressor 1 as the lead, a 1.0 puts compressor 2 as
lead, etc. It is preferable to have compressor 1 as
the lead. If a compressor is locked off, the next
compressor will automatically take its place in the
lead/lag sequence.
Compressor Start Delay
4.6.
A compressor start delay of one or two minutes is
incorporated into the computer to prevent two
compressors from starting at the same time and
insure that the system load requires another compressor. The compressor control point will display
COFF (“clock off”) during this timing.
4.7
Power Loss Reset
This function allows the customer the option of
automatic or manual reset of the computer after
a power loss to the computer. The power loss
could be from the UVR or control switch. For automatic reset, a 0.0 is stored in the power in the
power loss B setpoint. For manual reset after
power failure, a 1.0 is stored in the set- point. A
power loss alarm is also recorded by the computer.
Anti-Recycle Timing
4.8.
At the start of a compressor, a 15 minute timer is
initiated during which the compressor cannot start.
If cooling is called for during this time, a COFF is
displayed in the compressor control point.
CAUTION: This timer is bypassed by manual
control of compressors. DO NOT manually start
a compressor more than once every 15 minutes.
4.9. Low
Pressure Safety
When the evaporator pressure of a given refrigeration circuit drops below the low pressure B
setpoint, a time delay is initiated. If the pressure
stays below the setpoint during the time period,
all compressors on the circuit will be locked off
and the low pressure alarm will be recorded by
the computer.
For an air-cooled unit, the time delay is two minutes when ambient temperature is above 40°F. If
ambient temperature drops below 40°F, the delay
on compressor start up is extended to 4 minutes.
After start-up, the low pressure delay is 2 minutes.
4.10
High Pressure Safety
If the condensing pressure of a refrigeration circuit
exceeds the high pressure A setpoint, all compres-
15
sors on the circuit are locked off. The high pressure
alarm will be recorded by the computer. Typical
setpoint value is 360 psig.
Freeze Safety
4.11
If the leaving water temperature of a chiller drops
below the freeze B setpoint, all of the compressors
will be locked off. The freeze alarm will be recorded
by the computer. Press RESET to clear the lockout.
4.12
High Oil Temp Safety
If the oil temperature switch of a compressor opens,
the oil temperature digital input turns ON. If the
compressor is operating, the compressor will be
locked off. The high oil temperature alarm will be
recorded by the computer and RESET must be pressed
after the problem is resolved.
4.13
Alarm Output
The alarm control point closes the digital output
relay on all safety alarms. This relay is used to turn
an alarm light on. After the problem is resolved,
press RESET to reset the system and turn the alarm
output off.
4.14
Fan Control
The fans are controlled by the microcomputer out
put relays. The computer switches fans on or off
basel on the discharge pressure and the fan
pressure setpoints. The high (A) setpoints are
where the fans turn on and the low (B) setpoints
are where the fans turn off.
Chilled Water Reset (Optional) and Customer Con-
4.15
trol Interlock
If an analog input is available, the chilled water tem-
perature setpoint can be raised automatically by a
0-5 VDC signal provided by an external controller.
The reset signal must be between 0VDC and 5VDC,
with 0VDC being no reset and 5VDC being maximum reset. The maximum temperature reset (increase) desired must be stored in CWR max B
setpoint. For example, to raise the chilled water
setpoint from 44°F to 50°F (6.0°F) with a 5VDC input, a 6.0 is stored in CWR max setpoint.
CAUTION: The voltage input must never exceed
5.0VDC.
Control contacts from an external controller are
used to enable or disable operation of compressors. The wiring diagram specifies the terminals to
which the contacts must be wired. To enable the
compressors, the contacts must be closed. To
place the unit in stand-by mode, open the control
contact.
Note: This control must be used for automatic
control of the package. Do not use the flow
switch to control the package.
4.16 Hot Gas Bypass Control (option)
When hot gas bypass has been supplied with
the package, an output from the computer
controls the solenoid. The solenoid is turned on
if only one compressor is operating and the
target percent capacity of the compressor
drops below the hot gas bypass B setpoint. If
the target percent capacity then climbs above
the hot gas bypass A setpoint, the solenoid is
turned off. Typical setpoints are 45% for the B
setpoint and 80% for the A setpoint.
4.17
Compressor Power Control (No-Stop Alarm) and
Unit Schedule
The control power/schedule feeds power to the
compressor safety and control circuit and closes
the chilled water pump contacts. (See Field
Control Wiring). After power-up, the relay is
held open for 15 seconds to allow for reset of
the high temperature safety switch. The relay is
then closed to allow normal compressor control
if the unit schedule is calling for unit operation.
The computer will open this relay if it detects
that a compressor auxiliary contact digital input
stays ON for 15 seconds when the computer is
commanding the compressor to be off. A NoStop alarm would then be stored in the alarm
history. This would indicate that either a hardware problem is forcing the compressor to run
when it should not or that the digital input is
staying on when the compressor is actually off.
When the problem is resolved, press the RESET
button to allow the machine to start.
During normal operation, this output turns ON/
OFF based on the unit schedule of operation
(see Section 3.9).
Sensor Alarm Shutdown
4.18
If the computer measures an analog sensor
value that is outside of a given boundary, the
associated compressors are shutdown. The
computer then stores the alarm code corresponding to the sensor alarm. The boundary
values are as follows:
Low High
1. Water temp sensor -190°F
2. Air temp. sensor25°F180°F
3. Suction pressure-20 psigSee below
4. Discharge pressure5 psig -
The high setpoint for the suction pressure sensor will
be triggered if the leaving water temperature is less
than 60°F and suction pressure is greater than 150
psig.
not operating if the associated digital input
from the compressor contactor does not
indicate that the contactor is pulled in (digital
input stays OFF), or if the amps of the compressor are less than about 12 amps. If a
faulty No-run alarm occurs, monitor the digital
input and amps to see which is producing the
fault.
4.20
Fast Unload Solenoid Control
When a compressor starts, it’s fast unload
solenoid is energized for 30 seconds to ensure
that the compressor unloads fully. The load
and unload, solenoids are de-energized during
this time delay. After the time delay, normal
control of the load/unload solenoids is restored.
4.21
Low Suction/Discharge Differential Alarm
If the difference between suction and dis
charge pressure is less than minimum differential pressure for 3 minutes while a compressor
is operating, all the compressors on the
affected refrigerant circuit are locked off. A
low differential pressure alarm will be recorded
by the computer and the alarm output will be
turned on. Press RESET to clear the lockout.
4.22
High Motor Temperature Safety
If the high motor temperature switch of a
compressor opens, the motor temperature
digital input turns ON. If the compressor is
operating, the ‘compressor will be locked off.
The high motor temperature alarm will be
recorded by the computer and RESET must be
pressed after the problem is resolved.
Low Chiller Flow Alarm
4.23
A low flow alarm will be generated if a compressor control point is ON and the flow
switch digital input is OFF. All compressors will
be locked off and the alarm light turned on.
After resolving the problem, press RESET.
High Discharge Pressure Unload
4.24
This function unloads the compressor if
discharge pressure is approaching the high
pressure limit. If discharge pressure of an
operating compressor reaches the high
pressure setpoint minus 10 psi, the compressor
will be prevented from loading (HOLD state). If
the discharge pressure reaches the high
pressure setpoint minus 5 psi, the compressor
will begin unloading.
If one of these sensor alarms occurs, it usually indicates a loose wire, blown fuse, defective sensor, or
faulty analog board.
External Shutdown Indication (No-Run Alarm)
4.19
A No-Run control point error is generated if the
computer tries to start (or run) a compressor but the
compressor is held off by an external control. The
computer determines that the compressor is
2. RLA (Rated Load Amps) rated in accordance with ARI Standard 590.
3. Starting current for normal Y-D start is shown. In certain compressor failure modes, Y-D inrush can be as high as XL
inrush.
4. Wire Size Amps (ampacity) equal 125% of the rated load amps for the largest motor in the circuit plus 100% of the
rated load amps for all other motors in the circuit, per N.E.C.
5. Maximum fuse size is based on 225% of the rated load amps for the largest motor in the circuit plus 100% of the rated
load amps for all other motors in the circuit. This is the largest fuse allowed per N.E.C. A smaller fuse is often recommended based on unit application and ambient temperature.
Each compressor can modulate from 100% to 30% of full
load by slide valve operation. This provides reduction down
to 7.5% on four-compressor units.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
POSSIBLE CAUSEREMEDY
CHILLER UNIT WILL NOT START
1. Power off1. Check main disconnect switch
2. Main line open2.Check main fuses
3. Incorrect wiring3.Check the wiring diagram
4. Loose terminals4.Tighten all terminals
5. Control circuit open5.Check phase loss monitor, flow switch, circuit
breakers, temperature control, low ambient
thermostat, low temperature, thermostat,
remote switch, etc.
6. T ime delay6. Wait
COMPRESSOR HUMS BUT DOES NOT START
1. Low Voltage1a. Check at service and unit for loss
b. Consult power company
COMPRESSOR CUTS OUT ON LOW PRESSURE SAFETY CONTROL
1. Refrigerant shortage1. Check for leaks -- add refrigerant
2. Restriction in liquid line2a. Plugged strainer -- clean or replace
b. Liquid line valve partially closed — open valves fully
c. Expansion valve clogged or inoperative — clean or
replace as required
d. Solenoid valve partially open — clean or replace as
required
3. Low water flow thru cooler3. Check water flow thru cooler and correct as required
COMPRESSOR CYCLES ON HIGH PRESSURE CONTROL
1. Compressor discharge valve partially closed1. Open valve fully
2. Non-condensible gases in system2.Operate condenser fans with compressors off.
If condenser pressure exceeds saturated
pressure corresponding to condenser entering air
temperature, then reclaim air from the top of hot
gas vertical header coil.
3. Overcharge of R-223. Reclaim refrigerant from system while in oper-
ation until head pressure reaches a normal level.
4. Clean the condenser
5. Replace if necessary
6. Check pressure control setting
CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF FREEZE-UP
CAUSESPREVENTION
1. Improper charging1. Charge per manufacturer’s recommendation
2. Improperly set safety time delay2. Check the safety time delay low pressure control for
proper setting at the beginning of each season.
3. Improper chilled water circulation3. Use an ample sized cleanable strainer in the chilled
water circuit. Make certain the strainer is clean to
insure full flow and velocity of chilled water. It may
sometimes be necessary to treat the water to prevent
formation of deposits.
