Rigging and Installation


Rigging
When the chiller arrives at Warehouse/Site, proper rigging and handling is mandatory during unloading and leading the unit
into position.
Care must be taken to keep the unit upright during rigging. Avoid unnecessary jerking or rough handling.
Proper hoisting straps should be used when rigging (nylon flat rope). It is also mandatory that an experienced and reliable
rigger be selected to handling unloading and final placement of the equipment. The rigger must be advised that the unit
contains internal components that require to be kept in an upright position. Care must be exercised to avoid twisting of the
equipment.

Storage
Check for transportation damages if any and take up with factory for any damages.
In case the site is not ready to install the chiller, proper care should be taken to store the chiller in a covered space. Check up
the pressure of the unit when received. If the pressure is not retained in the system, the system should be pressure tested
immediately, repair the leakages if any and charge the system with Nitrogen. Never keep the system without pressure.

Installation (Water-cooled)
Proper care should be taken to make the foundation for the Chiller. In case the Chiller is located on the roof top, ensure that
the same is located in such a way that the load of the same is transferred to the columns and not to the slab directly. The
foundation should be properly levelled.
Install the Chiller on the Foundation/Pedestal and grout by using foundation bolts. The Chiller should be levelled on the
foundation. The unit should not be located nearer to any heat source or any high tension line running above.
Adequate space around the Chiller as recommended in the GA Drawing should be made available for maintenance purpose.

Design Features:
HANBELL screw compressor features simple and robust construction, by elimination of some components such as pistons,
piston rings, valve plates, oil pump, and mechanical linkages…, which are found in reciprocating compressors. With the
elimination of such components, such features of the screw compressor have resulted in low noise, minimized vibration,
high reliability and durability. HANBELL screw compressors are of two-shaft rotary displacement design with the latest and
advanced screw rotors with 5:6 patented profile designs. The screw rotors are precisely situated at both the suction and
discharge ends in rolling contact bearings, i.e. axial and radial bearings. A three-phase, two-pole squirrel cage induction
motor drives the compressor. The motor rotor is located on the shaft of the male screw rotor. Cooling of the motor is achieved
by suction refrigerant vapor.

Compressor Technical Features:


Multi-nation patents of high efficiency screw rotor- The new 5:6 ratio high efficiency screw rotor profile is patented in
Taiwan, UK, US, Japan, and China. This new high volume, high efficiency rotor profile was designed specifically for
modern refrigerant characteristics. The new higher efficient screw rotor is accomplished by using high precision

37
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

CNC machining center, rotor milling machines, rotor grinding machines. Strict ISO 9001 process control and the use
of precise inspection equipment, such as ZEISS 3D coordinate measuring machine, ensures high efficiency, high
quality, low noise, low vibration HANBELL RC series screw compressors for worldwide distribution.

High efficiency motor- Premium grade low-loss core steel with the special RC motor cooling slot design plus the inner
and outer refrigerant guide design pilots the cold suction refrigerant gas through the motor, providing the highest operating
efficiency possible no matter how heavy the operating conditions.

Long life bearings and high reliability- The screw compressors utilize the combination of 11 axial and radial bearings
and á axial balance piston design for excellent bearing life and superior compressor reliability.

Double-walled rotor housing- Double casing structure with high strength inner ribs has been designed to minimize
noise and ensure rigidity. The rotor housing is made of high strength gray cast iron FC25 that is extremely stable, therefore no
expansion even at high-pressure level. These casings are machined by a computer aided machining center and used the
high precise measuring machine to enhance reliability and productivity.

Directly flange on oil separator- A vessel made of ductile material FC 500 specially design to withstand high pressure
and perform highest efficiency. Simple oil management, three stage oil separator, low pressure drop demister to ensure very
minimal refrigerant dilution in the oil and maintain high oil viscosity.

Precise capacity control- The capacity control slide valve is located in the compressor cylinder. The valve is actuated
by oil pressure from the oil sump, and its function is to admit or relieve oil to or from the solenoid valves, depending on pressure
differential.

Perceptive electronics- RC2 series screw compressors are equipped with PTC temperature protection module for
monitoring discharge and motor coil temperature as well as phase sequence and phase loss. It is also equipped with oil level
switch to monitor the level of oil, pressure differential switch, and pressure relief valve for optional application.

Compression process:
As shown in figure 6 below, during rotation of the rotors the meshing shifts from the suction side to the discharge side. The
meshing rotors enclose a working space, which is continuously reduced as it moves in the axial direction. This causes a V-
shaped lobe space between each of the male and female lobes. This lobe space increases to a maximum size (suction and
sealing process). As the rotors rotate further, the new meshing on the suction side closes the V-shaped lobe space. The lobe
space is then constantly reduced by continuing intermeshing of the lobes (compression process).
The reduction in lobe space takes place on the suction side of the rotors towards the discharge side. The volume is steadily
reduced and it is thereby compressed in the sealed condition. As soon as the peaks of the rotor teeth are free to the outlet port,
the vapor is discharge to the high-pressure side and flows to the oil separator where the high-pressure gas will be separated
from the lubrication oil. The size and geometry of the discharge port determine the so called “internal volume ratio (Vi)” of the
compressor. This ratio must have a defined relationship to operating pressure ratio to avoid losses in efficiency due to under
or over compression.

USER'S MANUAL

Capacity Control System


The RC2 series screw compressors are equipped with 3-step/4-step capacity control system. The capacity control systems
consist of a modulation slide valve, piston rod, cylinder, piston and piston rings. The slide valve and the piston are connected
by a piston rod. The principle of operation is using the oil pressure to drive the piston in the cylinder. See Fig below, the
lubrication oil flows from the oil sump through the oil filter cartridge and capillary then fills into the cylinder due to the positive
oil pressure bigger than the right side of spring force plus the high pressure gas. The positive pressure differential causes the
piston to move toward the right side in the cylinder. When the slide valve moves toward the right side, the effective compression
volume in the compression chamber increases. This means the displacement of refrigerant gas also increases, as a result
the refrigeration capacity also increases. However, when any of the step solenoid valve (for 3-step/4-step capacity control
system) is opened, the high pressure oil in the cylinder bypasses to the suction port, which causes the piston and the slide
valve to move toward the left side, and then some of the refrigerant gas bypasses from the compression chamber back to the
suction end. As a result, the refrigeration capacity decreases because of the reduction of displacement of refrigerant gas
flowing in the system.
The piston spring is used to push the piston back to its original position, i.e. minimum load position in order to reduce the
starting current for the next starting-up. If the compressor started at full load capacity it may result in over current start. The
capillary is used to maintain and restrain a suitable amount of oil flow into the cylinder.
If the oil filter cartridge, capillary, or modulation solenoid valves are not working well in the capacity control system, this may
result in the abnormality and ineffectiveness of the capacity control system. Before stopping the compressor, HANBELL
strongly recommends that the unloading solenoid valve of step-less control system or minimum load solenoid valve
of steps control system should be kept opened for 30~60 seconds so that oil pressure in the cylinder is then released.
When starting the compressor again, it is in unloading position for light duty start.

4-Steps Capacity Control

39
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

3 or 4 Steps Capacity Control System:


There are two / three normally closed (NC) solenoid valves that are used to control the various required capacity. For the
compressor with 3 steps / 4 steps capacity control system, it is usual to use the sequence of min.%-66%-100% / min.%-
50%-75%-100% to load the capacity of compressor and to use the sequence of 100%-66%-min.%/100%-75%-50%-min%
to unload the capacity. If min% capacity is essential to be kept running for a long time, the problem of oil return, motor cooling,
high discharge temperature should be considered seriously to control by adding the accessories such as oil level switch for
monitoring the oil level, liquid injection devices for cooling motor coil and reducing discharge temperature.(Fig 8)
Note: For 3 or 4 steps capacity control system, Hanbell equipped with Normal Close (NC) type solenoid valve as standard
accessory.

a. min% capacity
When starting the compressor SV1 solenoid valve is energized and the piston is in
min% capacity position, so even the oil coming from the oil sump is continuouslly
injecting into the cylinder thru the capillary, the high pressure oil in the cylinder
bypasses directly into the suction port, so the piston is held to its initial position. Be
sure to take 30 seconds at least after every starting of the compressor at this low
capacity stage. After that, the compressor could be loaded gradually.
It is strongly recommended to energize SV1 solenoid valve for 1~3 minutes, before
starting the compressor to ensure the slide valve is in min% position.

b. 50% capacity
When solenoid valve of SV3 is energized by the temperature controller, the high-
pressure oil in the oil sump flows into the cylinder due to the closing of min% valve
that pushes the piston moving toward the position where a hole at exactly 50% position
drains the oil back to the suction port then the piston is held on that position.

c. 75% / 66% capacity


When solenoid valve of SV2 is energized, the 50% (SV3) solenoid valve will de-
energized simultaneously, the high pressure oil will push the piston towards the
position where a hole at exactly 75%/66% position drains the oil back to the suction
port and the piston will be held on that position.

d. 100% full load


When all the two/three modulation solenoid valves are de-energized, the high-
pressure oil flows into the cylinder continuously to push the piston toward the suction
side gradually until the slide valve touches the end side of the compression chamber
and the piston also reaches its dead end entirely where no bypass of compression
gas occurred. So full load is achieved.

SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

X It is strongly recommend to start /stop compressors as per above illustration

Note:
1. Above T temp. and T’ temp. should be determined by experience of system design and really end user application
2. Above t1 time & t2 time should be longer than 60sec as recommended.
3. The capacity control must be remained at min% loading after start or before stop, and it should be withstanding for
30~60sec.

Volume Ratio (Vi)


The Volume ratio (Vi) of the compressor can be defined as the ratio of suction volume of gas divided by discharge volume of
gas of the compressor. The volume ratio directly affects the internal compression ratio or Pi of the compressor. A low Vi
compressor corresponds to a low compression ratio compressor and high Vi compressors are used on higher compression
ratio systems. In the equation below, in order to avoid over or under compression, the system compression ratio (CR) should
be equal to the compressor internal compression ratio (Pi). Refer also to the P-V (pressure – volume) diagram below to
show the relation.

CR = Pd/Ps
Pi = Vi k
Vi = Vs/Vd

Where: CR : system compression ratio Pi : internal compression ratio


Vi : internal volume ratio Pd : system pressure (absolute pressure)
Pd’ : discharge pressure (absolute pressure) Ps : suction pressure (absolute pressure)
Vs : suction volume Vd : discharge volume K: refrigerant specific heat ratio

Application Limit
Compressor Operating Limits vary significantly with the type of refrigerant used. The operating limits shown below
are based on saturated suction and discharge operating conditions, for continuous operation over extended periods
of time. It is important to operate within these limits to maintain proper compressor life. Operating at extra low
saturated suction temperature, may cause oil management and motor cooling problems, and operating at extra
high saturated condensing temperature will shorten the compressor life due to insufficient motor and compressor
chamber cooling.
“Operating Limits” are described on the respective refrigerant charts.

R134a Application Limits

Hanbell recommends monitoring oil pressure differential and keep it 4 kg/cm2G over the suction pressure for adequate
seal, lubrication and capacity control by pressure differential switch passively or by additional oil pump actively. Especially
under operation conditions with low condensing temperature and high evaporating temperature like application in flooder
water-cooled chillers, high-low pressure differential tends to be less than 4kg/cm2G, installation of oil pump is recommended
to ensure regular oil pressure.
The minimum discharge superheat is recommended to be kept 10°k higher than the condensing temperature ( normally
discharge superheat is around 20°K for R134a ) to avoid liquid filling back to compressor and lubrication failure.

Lubricants
The main functions of the lubrication oil in the screw compressor are lubrication, internal sealing, cooling and capacity control.
The positive oil pressure in the cylinder pushes the piston and the slide valve that is connected by a piston rod to move
forward and backward in the compression chamber. The design with positive pressure differential lubrication system in the
RC2 series is available to omit an extra oil pump in the compressor like reciprocating compressor. However, in some special
applications, it is still necessary to install an extra oil pump to the compressor for safety.
The bearings used in RC2 compressor require a small but steady quantity of oil for lubrication; the oil injection into the
compression chamber creates an oil sealing film in the compression housing for increasing the efficiency and absorbing a
part of heat of compression. In order to separate the oil from the mixed refrigerant gas, an oil separator is required to ensure
the least amount of oil carried into the system. Pay more attention to the oil temperature, which has a very significant factor
to the compressor bearings’ life. High oil temperature will reduce the oil viscosity and cause the poor lubrication and heat
absorption in the Compressor as well. The oil viscosity is recommended to keep over 10 mm 2 / s at any temperature. The

43
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

oil temperature just kept above system condensing temperature to avoid the refrigerant migration into system in the summer.
There is high oil viscosity in the low ambient temperature circumstance, it could cause compressor in heavy duty to be started
up resulting less oil pressure in oil line to load the compressor. The better solution is to have higher condensing temperature
in a short time by warming up the oil. If the compressor is operated under the critical condition, then extra oil cooler is required
– please refer to Hanbell selection software for the required capacity and oil flow of extra oil cooler. Some high viscosity oil
is recommended to apply to the high working condition due to the high discharge temperature that will cause low viscosity
of oil. It happens more often that the return oil from evaporator is insufficient such as refrigeration system ´0Ì$%.—
flooded chiller…etc. which is difficult to be carried back, that causes the loss of oil in the compressor. If the system
encounters the oil return problem then an extra 2nd oil separator is recommended to be installed between the compressor
discharge tube and condenser.
Each of HANBELL RC2-410 ~ RC2-830 compressors is equipped with two oil sight glasses as a standard other is the oil low-
level sight glass (RC2-510 and RC2-580) (550 & 610~ 930). The functions of internal oil line sight glass are to monitor lubricant
flow to capacity control system and bearings. While reverse running, it is unable to see the oil flow via sight glass. The normal
oil level in the compressor oil tank should be maintained above the top of the low oil sight glass and in the middle level of high
oil sight glass when compressor is running. It is recommended strongly to install the optional accessory of oil level switch to
prevent compressor’s failure from getting low oil level in the compressor.

Pre-cautions in changing of oil:

1. Use only qualified oil and do not mix different brand of oil together. Different kinds of refrigerant should match
different kinds of oil, note that some synthetic oil are incompatible with mineral oil. The oil filled into the
compressor should be totally cleaned up in the system, fill the compressor with oil during the initial startup then
re-fill the oil again to ensure that it is completely clean.
2. When using the synthetic oil for the chiller system, be sure not to expose the oil to atmosphere for a long
time, it is also necessary to vacuum the system completely when installing the compressor.
3. In order to ensure no moisture inside the system, it is suggested to clean the system by charging it with dry
Nitrogen and then vacuum the system repeatedly as long as possible.
4. It is essential to change for new oil especially after the motor burns out; the acidity debris still remain inside the
system so follow the procedures mentioned in changing of oil to overhaul the system. Check the oil acidity after
72 hours of operation and then change it again until the oil acidity is in the standard value.
5. Contact local distributor/agent for concerning unqualified oil to be used.

Oil Change
1. Change oil periodically: Check the lubrication oil for every 10,000 hours of continuous running. For the first
operation of the compressor, it is recommended to change oil and clean oil filter after running at 2,000 hours.
Check the system whether clean or not and then change the oil every 20,000 hours or after 3 years of
continuous running while the system is operated under good condition.
2. Avoid the debris or swarf clogging oil filter, this may caused bearings failure. An optional oil pressure differential
switch is recommended to be installed. The switch will trip when the oil pressure differential reaches the critical
point between the primary and secondary sides. The compressor will automatically shut down to prevent the
bearings from getting damaged due to the lack of lubricating oil.

Compressor handling and installation


Compressor handling
After the compressor arrives at the warehouse, check the crate if it is kept in good condition and check all the compressor
accessories and the shipping documents to see if there is any discrepancy.
Each HANBELL screw compressor is carefully tested at the factory where every precaution and care is taken to make sure
that the compressor will reach the customer in perfect condition. When lifting the compressor, it is recommended to use a
steel chain or steel cable as shown in the figure below, and also a safety rope can also be used provided it has loading
capacity of 2000kgf.
Make sure that the chains, cables, ropes or other lifting equipment are properly positioned so as to avoid damage to compressor
or its accessories. Keep the compressor in horizontal position when lifting, and avoid the compressor to crash or fall on the
ground, hit the wall or any other event that may damage it or its accessories.

Mounting the compressor


The installation of the compressor in the refrigeration system should be made accessible and make sure that the chiller
base or site are far enough from the heat source to prevent heat radiation. The compressor should also be installed as close
as possible to the electrical power supply for easier connection and must keep good ventilation and low humidity condition
in the site. Make sure that the frame or supporter is strong enough to prevent excessive vibration and noise while the
compressor is running and must reserve enough space for compressors’ future overhauling work.

Installation of anti-vibration pad


The compressor must be installed horizontally and in order to prevent excessive vibration transferred by the structure and
piping of the chiller while in operation, the cushion or anti-vibration pad should be installed. The installation of the anti-vibration
pad is shown in the figure below. The screws should only be tightened until slight deformation of the rubber pad is visible.It
is strongly recommended position compressor higher than evaporator

Attention on the compressor piping works


The unsuitable piping works done to the compressor could cause abnormal vibration and noise that might damage the
compressor. Take notice of the following pointers to prevent this situation from happening:

Fig. Lifting the compressor with steel chain or steel cable Fig. Lifting the compressor with safety ropes

45
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

1. Cleanliness of the system should be kept after welding the piping to avoid any
swarf or debris contained inside the system as it may cause serious damage to
the compressor during operation.
2. In order to reduce the vibration on the piping tubes, it is recommended to use
copper tube to be the suction and discharge piping tubes. Copper tubes are better
to minimize the vibration in the piping while the compressor is in operation. In
case steel tubes are to be used in piping system, then the suitable welding works
are very important to avoid any stress in the piping. This inner stress can cause
harmonic vibration and noise that can reduce the life of the compressor. If a large-
caliber copper tube is not easily accessible and a steel tube is used instead in suction port, Hanbell also recommends
the use of a copper tube in discharge port to best minimize abnormal vibration and noise.
3. Remove the oxidized impurities, swarf or debris caused by welding in the piping tubes, if these fall into the compressor
the oil filter might be clogged resulting in the malfunctioning of lubrication system, bearings and capacity control system.
4. The material of suction and discharge flanges is forged steel and it can be welded directly with piping connectors. After
welding the flanges and pipes, it must be cooled down by ambient air. Do not use water to cool it down because water
quenching is prohibited.

Limitation of oblique angle for compressor installation


Figure shows the limitation of oblique angle for compressor installation. In case the oblique angle is higher than the limit, it
is very easy for the compressor to shut down because of low oil level. For special application like installation in the ships,
fishing boat, etc…, where the oblique angle might exceed the limit, an external oil separator and related accessories are
recommended to be installed. Please contact HANBELL or local distributor for further layout recommendation.

Description of accessories
a. Steps or step-less capacity control system
b. Compatible steps and step-less capacity control system
For customers’ ease of stock control, possible modification of capacity-control logic in the future, or other special
requirements of capacity control, Hanbell deliberately designs devices for stepless/step dual capacity control as
nonstandard optional accessory for customers’ choices. Logic of stepless/step dual capacity control is basically identical
to that of stepless or step capacity control respectively.

c. Discharge check valve


Hanbell standard check valve is gravity-driven with characteristics of large flow volume and low pressure differential.
After shut-down of compressor, Teflon taper guider inside can simultaneously seal up the precisely machined base of
check valve by gravity force to effectively prevent return of high-pressured gas to compressor. The gravity-driven check
valve is equipped vertically. Due to limitation of space or piping requirements, alternative horizontal check valve is
accessible.

f. INT69 control module and PTC temperature sensor


In order to protect compressor, each RC2 series compressor has been installed three PTC temperature sensors
inside motor coil and another one at the discharge side of compressor. These sensors are connected to an INT69
control module to monitor the motor coil temperature and discharge temperature as well. If the temperature in one
of the positions monitored exceeds the nominal response temperature of the respective PTC thermistor, the
sensor resistance increases and the INT69 control module output relay trips. The module resets when the
temperature drops below the response temperature by approx. 5K. The output replay provides a potential-free
change-over contact and is energized as long as the nominal response temperature is not exceeded.

monitoring functions of phase loss, phase sequence, motor temperature, discharge temperature as an optional accessory.
INT69Y & PTC temperature sensors connection diagram (Fig. 30)
Note: Electric plate with PT100Ù/PT1000Ùconnection (B) shown in above diagram is optional accessory. Only when
customer chooses PT100Ù/PT1000Ù function, Hanbell will supply this type of electric plate.

INT69Y connection diagram PT100Ù/PT1000Ùconnection diagram

Phase loss, Phase sequence:


Phase sequence and phase loss monitoring functions are active during a 5s window 1s after compressor start ( power on
L1-L2-L3) If one of these parameter is incorrect, the relay locks out ( contacts M1-M2 are open). The lockout can be cancelled
by mains reset of approx. 5s (disconnect L-N)

Note: To make sure phase loss and phase sequence protection function well, please connect L1, L2 and L3 to motor side .
Motor temperature:
Motor temperature is constantly measured by a thermistor (PTC) loop connected on S1-S2.
If any thermistor exceeds its response temperature, its resistance increases above trip level and the output relay trips (contacts
M1-M2 are open ). After cooling down below the response temperature , a 5min time delay is activated. After the delay has
elapsed, the relay pulls in again (contacts M1-M2 are closed ).
The time delay can be cancelled by mains reset of approx. 5s (disconnect L-N )

53
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

Note: When choosing aforementioned INT69 or INT69Y motor protection, Hanbell strongly recommends adding “Shutdown

of INT69Y: monitoring of phase loss, phase sequence, motor temperature, discharge temperature but with manually
reset function.
INT69HBY & PTC temperature sensors connection diagram:

Other major functional descriptions are as follow:


1. When supply voltage is applied, the output relay pulls in after an initialization period of approx. 3 seconds,
provided all thermistors lie below their rated response temperature.
2. 1 to 9 PTC thermistors with varied rated response temperatures can be connected in series to the input
terminals.
3. If any thermistor resistance increases above trip level the relay drops out. This failure results in a lockout.
(5 minutes delay for 1st PTC failure, 60 minutes delay for 2nd failure, lockout for 3rd failure.)
4. If a rapid temperature increase is detected (locked rotor condition), the output relay drops out. This failure
results in a lockout.
5. The phase monitoring function is active 1 second after motor start during a 10 second window. Incorrect phase
sequence results in lockout trip. Phase loss results in lockout trip.
6. Lockout and time delay can be cancelled by mains reset of approx. 5 seconds.

A UL approved 150W oil heater has been installed in every compressor as a standard accessory.
Before restart of compressor after shutdown for a long time, please turn on oil heater at least 8 hours to make the
temperature inside compressor higher than system temperature and ambient temperature and then it can prevent

condensation of refrigerant inside oil sump of compressor which may result in liquid compression in next start and poor
lubrication due to too low viscosity of lubricant oil. In addition, Hanbell also offers 300W oil heater to keep adequate
lubricant oil temperature for large external oil separator and applications in areas with low ambient temperature.

Motor design
HANBELL RC2 series screw compressors are fitted with Y- motor as standard.

Y- Starting
Y- motor connects motor coil by Y connection during starting therefore reducing voltage on coils to 1/ 3 of input voltage and
reconnects motor coil by connection after starting. By doing so, we can decrease starting current thorough voltage drop,
i.e., so-called voltage-drop starting.
Y- motor connection method is shown in the following motor wiring diagram:
In Y connection, MCM&MCS are inductive while motor leads Z,X,Y are tied together as a neutral connecting as Y fashion. A
few seconds later ( 3 ~ 5 sec is recommended), MCM, MCS become deductive. Around 0.25 sec later, MCM,MCD are inductive,
it turns out  % run connection.
After Y start, MCM & MCS are deductive for 0.25msec and then MCM & MCD are inductive for  run. Within as transient as
0.25msec, pseudo short circuit might occur due to inappropriate action of contactors, causing trip of compressors. When it

Fig. Y - ∆ Motor diagram


occurs, we recommend usage of adjustable Y- dedicated Timer or slightly lengthen span of time for MCM, MCS deduction
- MCM,MCD re-induction from 0.25 msec to 0.5 msec max directly in micro controller or PLC program. Please refer to Y-
shift time diagram for details. Because motor is not powered during Y- shift, shorter Y- shift span is suggested to prevent
second start due to decreased rotation speed. However, if Y-shift span is too short, aforementioned pseudo short circuit
might occur.

Characteristics of Y-∆ Starting


1. Starting current in Y connection is 1/3 of lock rotor ampere.

2. Starting torque in Y connection is 1/3 of lock rotor torque.

3. Acceleration of motor rotor becomes smaller at full-load starting, therefore compressors require starting at partial
load.

The table below shows the list of protection devices which are essential to protect the compressor and operate safely. Follow
the protection devices listed in the below table to ensure the compressor running under normal condition.

The motor thermistor and discharge thermistor are the temperature sensors with quick response while the temperature
approach to their set point; the thermistors must be connected in series to a controller (INT69 or INT69Y) in terminal box as
a guardian to protect the compressor. Alarm lamp for this protector is required to be embedded on the control panel as indicator.
Any intention to short the controller for startup the compressor is prohibited especially in Hanbell. It is beyond Hanbell’s
responsibility to keep the warrantee of compressor if there is any above action found.
Note: when any protection device trips, please do troubleshooting and reset manually. Do not let compressor automatically
reset after abnormal trip!

The supply power


1. Limitation of supply power:
a. Voltage Limitation b. Frequency :
Long term running : rated voltage ±5% Rated frequency ±2%
Instant running : rated voltage ±10%
Note that in the region where the electricity power is unstable, install an additional Hi-Low voltage protector with ± 5%
under and over tolerance outside the normal voltage to ensure the safe running of the compressor.

2. Unbalanced Voltages :
Unbalanced voltages usually occur because of variations in the load. When the load on one or more of the phases is different
than the other(s), unbalanced voltages will appear. This can be due to different impedances, or type and value of loading on
each phase.Unbalanced voltages can cause serious problems, particularly to motor.
NEMA defines voltage unbalance as follows :
Percent voltage unbalance = 100 x (maximum voltage deviation from average voltage)
(average voltage)

NEMA states that polyphase motors shall operate successfully under running conditions at rated load when voltage unbalance
at the motor terminals does not exceed 1%. Further, operation of a motor with above a 5% unbalance condition is not
recommended, and will probably result in damage to the motor.
Unbalanced voltages at motor terminals cause phase current unbalance ranging from 6 to 10 times the percent voltage
unbalance for a fully loaded motor. This causes motor over current resulting in excessive heat that shortens motor life, and
hence, eventual motor burnout. If the voltage unbalance is great enough, the reduced torque capability might not be adequate
for the application and the motor will not attain rated speed.

60
USER'S MANUAL

Some of the more common causes of unbalance voltages are :

• Unbalanced incoming utility supply


• Faults or grounds in the power transformer
• Large single phase distribution transformer on the system
• Open phase on the primary of a 3 phase transformer on the distribution system
• A blow fuse on 3 phase bank of power factor improvement capacitors
• Unequal impedance in conductors of power supply wiring
• Unbalanced distribution of single phase loads such as lighting
• Unequal transformer tap settings
• Open delta connected transformer banks
• Heavy reactive single phase loads such as welders
Grounding:
There’s a grounding terminal inside cable box. Please accurately connect it to grounding of control panel for the system.
Suggestion:
a. The regular setting of electric leak protection should be greater than
50mA; for a humid location, 25mA is better.
b. Grounding voltage of casing should be no greater than 50V; for a humid
location, the limit is 25V.
c. Grounding resistance should be no greater than 500 Ohm.
d. Air cut board (ACB) is regularly equipped with electric leak protection.
Please refer to related settings for its normal action.
e. If electric leak protection is active, please check if insulation of
equipments is normal and if its wiring and setting are correct. Please
make sure nothing is wrong before turning on the power. If there are
any questions, please contact the supplier of equipments.

USER'S MANUAL

In addition to the pre-start checking given in the above table, also consider the following:

a. It is necessary to pay more attention to the auxiliary facilities while the chiller is commissioning at the job-site and the
periodic maintenance after the initial start-up.

b. In order to keep the capacity control smoothly under the low ambient temperature with the normal viscosity of oil, oil
heater should be kept energizing after compressor has been shut down for preparation for the next start-up.

c. Check that all the settings on each pressure switch are correct.

d. Check if all the stop valves in the system are already open.

e. Check the rotating direction of the compressor by starting the compressor for a split second (approx. 0.5…1 sec.) and
check the suction and discharge pressure gauges. The correct rotating direction is: suction pressure drops immediately
and the discharge pressure will going up.

f. The compressor lubrication oil should be check immediately after starting. Oil level should be within sight glass range or
higher than the middle line of oil level sight glass.

g. Oil foaming can be generated during starting phase, but it should reduce when the compressor is under stable operating
conditions. Otherwise this can indicate excessive liquid in the suction gas.

h. The running condition of compressor after commissioning at the job-site should be adjusted as; the discharge temperature
will be at least 20K above the saturated condensing temperature and the suction vapor superheat should be within 10K
to the saturated evaporating temperature.

i. The whole plant, especially the pipelines and capillary tubes must be checked for abnormal vibrations. Contact HANBELL
or local distributor if any abnormal vibrations or noise found while the compressor is running.

j. Regularly check-up the plant according to national regulations and the following items should also be checked:

• Operating data of the machine


• Check the lubrication/level of oil
• All compressor monitoring parts
• Check electrical cable connections and tightness

USER'S MANUAL

Important note of applications of compressor


1. Pump down
Do not pump down the compressor on the chiller as a routine operation except only for temporary maintenance or a long
term shut down. Because pump down will cause extremely high temperature in the compression chamber and overheat
of the motor as well due to less amount of refrigerant in the suction side. When doing the pump down, be sure to take
notice of the items listed below :
a. Hanbell recommends that whenever doing the pumping down of the compressor, the compressor is also recommended
to run at 100% capacity.
b. Pump down should be done once each time, as it may be dangerous to the compressor, compression chamber for
pumping down repeatedly.
c. The minimum suction pressure when doing the pump down should be over 0.5kg/cm2G
d. The allowable length of time for pumping down a compressor should not be over 15 seconds.
e. When doing the pump down of compressor, must take notice of the high discharge temperature should not exceed
110.
f. Take notice of high/low pressure by reading the oil level of the compressor and the noise of running as well. If there
is any abnormal value or situation, then emergently stop the pump down.

2. Long term partial load operation


If compressors have to run at partial load below 50% continuously, though maybe within operation limits under such
operation condition and with temperature of motor below trip setting for overheating, insufficient dissipation of heat in
motor will occur due to lower flow rate of suction gas at partial load. If compressors operate under high temperature for
a long time, insulation of motor will deteriorate gradually at risk of serious motor damage finally. In such severe operation
conditions, Hanbell strongly recommends installation of liquid injection system to cool motor coil and use of Pt100Ù or
Pt1000Ùsensor as described in chapter 4.4-s, to effectively control temperature of motor while running. It is suggested
to switch on liquid injection when temperature of motor coil is higher than 60 and turn off liquid injection when it’s lower
than 50.

Pre-Start Up
1. In addition to above pre start-up check up, it is also necessary to pay attention to the auxiliary facilities while the chiller
is commissioned at the job site and the periodic maintenance after the initial start up.

2. In order to keep the capacity control smoothly under the low ambient temperature with the normal viscosity of oil, it is
required to heat the oil by heater at least 8 hours before next starting. The lower the ambient temperature is, the longer
the time of heating of oil should be. The oil temperature should be over 50OC before starting the compressor. Keep the
oil heater energised after the compressor is shutdown for preparation of next start-up, to keep the oil temperature over
the minimum required value, which is essential especially under low ambient condition.

3. Recheck the settings on each controls

4. Establish the chilled water flow through the cooler. Adjust the water flow rate to the designed rated flow. Connect the
Chilled water flow switch with Micro Control Panel.

5. Establish flow through the water cooled condenser (for water cooled chillers). Adjust the flow rate to the designed rated
flow. Connect the condenser water flow switch with the control panel.

Operation of Micro Controller


The control circuit for the Chiller comprises of analog sensor inputs such as suction pressure(s), discharge pressure(s),
entering and leaving water temperatures etc. and digital sensor inputs such as flow switch, oil level switch, SP/PR faults;
etc. It consists of relay outputs that drive the compressor(s), condenser fans, economizer(s) etc.
Before switching ON the Screw chillier, ensure that the flow switch is connected between points 7 & 8 (and 7A & 8A for twin
cooler models) in the wiring diagram and there is sufficient water flow. The crankcase heater should be ON for a period of
min. 8 hours. In the OFF state, the condition of the outputs is as follows (provided incoming power supply is ON):

Relay output Condition


Main 1, 2 OFF
Load/ Unload sol (SV1)1/2 OFF
Load/ Unload sol (SV2)1/2 OFF
Load/ Unload sol (SV3)1/2 OFF
Pilot Solenoid valve 1, 2 OFF

(1) Switch on power supply through Rotary Switch (mounted in control section). The unit goes in power up mode. In this
state, all relay outputs are turned OFF. Controller will initialise & monitor Power Supply stability for 90 seconds.
Switch ON individual system toggle switches (mounted in control section) to enable demand for respective compressors.
(2) After the power up delay, the system goes in ON state. Controller checks for any anti-cycle (fault) timers leftovers and
then generates demand for the first compressor based on set point and actual chilled water temperature.
(3) All three Solenoid Valve (SV1, SV2, and SV3) are kept de-energised after initial power up delay to ensure unloaded
start of compressor.
(4) Compressor starts with ‘Fast Unload’ logic. Condition of the relay outputs is as follows:
(5) Depending on difference between the leaving water temperature and set point, the system shall load or unload. The
operation of the load or unload solenoid valves is as under for individual compressor

USER'S MANUAL

Oil Management in Screw Compressors:


Oil flow is critical in screw compressors for lubrication as well as slide loading and unloading mechanism.
Screw Compressors do not have pump for oil circulation unlike Reciprocating Compressors. Oil circualtion in a Screw
Compressor is managed by Pressure Differential between suction and discharge. Oil is on discharge side; hence at the
same pressure as discharge. Minimum Oil Pressure Differential (OPD) is essentail for safe operation of a screw compressor.
Operation of a screw compressor with lower Oil Pressure Differential may result in failure of Bearing/s or may affect capacity
modulation system of a compressor.
As per recommendation from screw compressor manufacturers, the minimum OPD of 40 PSI need to be ensured by
controller safety mechanism. Chiller will trip on “Low Oil Differential’” when OPD falls below 40 psig continuously for 180
seconds. This condition may arise during low ambient winter operation. The safety becomes very critical when chilled
water temp is also higher e.g. initial pull down.

Application Limits for maintaining safe OPD:


In order to maintain the OPD for safe operation of screw compressors, relation between Minimum Condenser Entering
Water Temperature (CEWT) with respect to Evaporator Leaving Water Temperature (CLWT) is shown in the graph below.

Different Methods:
Oil Pressre Differential can be maintained using the following methods:
1. Cycling of Cooling Tower Fan: Cooling tower fan is cycled using a temperature controller sensing Condenser
Entering Water Temperature.This can be effective for moderate ambient conditions. Switching OFF the cooling tower
fan can be ineffective in severe winter conditions as water gets cooled when sprinkled within the cooling tower.
Frequent cycling of the motor may adversely affect the motor life.
2. Variable Frequency Driver for Cooling Tower Fan: This method is better than Fay cycling. Fluctuations in
condenser water temp are avoided with gradual control of air flow. This method also is effective for moderate ambient
and may not be effective in severe winter conditions. A separate temp controller with analogue output capability will
be required.

75
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

3. Variable Frequency Drive for Condenser Water Pump: Flow of condenser water pump is varied based on
discharge pressure of the compressor. chiller controller gives analogue input to pump VFD to increase or decrease
condenser water flow so that necessary discharge pressure is maintained. This method can be used for applications
where dedicated pump serves as chiller. Stand-by pump, in case provided, also needs to have VFD provision.
4. 3-Way Modulating Valve in Condenser Piping: To ensure trouble free operation of water cooled screw chillers
during low condenser water conditions, a 3-way modulating valve is installed at condenser water piping. The chiller
controller has logic to modulate this valve to maintain desired OPD. 3-way valve starts diverting cold water from
condenser inlet to outlet; bypassing condenser as shown in schematic diagram. This is the most convenient method
as multiple chillers connected to common cooling tower-pump combination can be handled individually. More details
are given in the following annexure.

Annexure:
1. Annexure I : Installation Guidelines for 3-way Modulating Valve
2. Annexure-II : Wiring Modifications

76
USER'S MANUAL

Annexure I
Installation Guidelines for 3-Way Modulating Valve
The valve is installed in the condenser outlet piping and will bypass cooling water flow going to the condenser. The valve
will modulate based on analogue signal from the chiller controller. This arrangement will prevent the Discharge Pressure
from dropping down to unsafe limits due to lesser water through the condenser.
Typical mounting guideline for the valve installation:

For selection of the 3 way Modulating Valve refer the catalogue and selection guideline of the valve manufactures. As a
general guideline, sizing of 3-way Modulating Valve is selected one size lower than the Condenser line diameter.

SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

1. Capacity Control Method


The capacity control method is based upon to develop the control zone on both side of Water leaving temperature set point,
and accordingly add or subtract the capacity control stages of chiller. To accomplish this system will constantly monitor the
set point, trend of load and slide position in relationship to the control zone.

1.1 Common Definitions


1.1.1 Target
The control target is “Water Leaving Set point”. This will be the base of developing the control zone.

1.1.2. Control Zone


The control zone is developed by adding the set points for the control target and the dead band + to obtain the upper limit.
The lower limit is obtained by subtracting the dead band - set point from the control target
Once the control zone has been established, the system will attempt to keep the control sensor reading with in this range.
The capacity control stage calculation is in hold if the chiller running in control zone.

1.1.3. Controlling Sensor


This is the sensor that has been specified as leaving temperature.

1.1.4. Trend of Load


The Trend of Load is how fast the control value is changing over a period of time. If the control value is increasing the rate will
be positive, if decreasing the rate will be a negative value. How fast the input is changing, its direction and where the current
input reading is in relationship to the control zone will determine what action the system will take.

1.1.5. Slide Valve Countdown


The system will not attempt to take action until the Slide Valve Count down reaches zero. The speed that it is decrement by
is based upon the Trend of Load of control input value and the slide Response that has been specified.

1.1.6. Slide Response


The purpose of the Slide Response value is to limit or dampen how fast the slide reacts to changes indicated by the control
sensor. The lower the number, the faster the system will react to changes of the control sensor.
The Control Status portion of the Status screen is shown below.

Chiller information:

2. Capacity Control State


Capacity Control States are active for all five releases of software.

UNIT IN POWER UP
This state is entered when the Controller is powered up or the system has been reset. The system will remain in this state for
the time specified in set point POWER UPDELAY, set point 23, or if not active for 60 seconds. In this state all points (RO’s)
are turned off. This is a time delay to insure the controller has stable power before starting the algorithm.

UNIT IN LOCKOUT
This state is entered whenever a critical situation is encountered that could cause harm to the chiller package. Items such as
freeze protect and emergency stop will force the system into this state.
Lockouts can be reset with user level authorization from the keypad; however if the lockout condition has not been corrected,
the system will again be forced into the LOCKOUT state.
NOTE: If the Lockout reset is pressed more than 10 times in a day the unit cannot be reset till Factory authorization.

EXPANSION BOARD OFFLINE


This state will be entered whenever the controller loses communications with any of the I/O boards that are connected via
the network. When this state is entered the system will generate an off line alarm, which locks out the unit. The lockout-reset
key must be depressed to reset the system, after the lost I/O has been corrected.

SWITCHED OFF
This state is entered when the run stop switch is off, in the stop position. When the chiller is in this state, the individual circuit
states if active are moved to the CMP IS OFF state through the normal states.

SCHEDULED OFF
This state is entered when the schedule is calling for the package to be off. When the chiller is in this state, the individual
circuit states if active are moved to the CMP IS OFF state through the normal states.

OFF- NO EVAP FLOW


This state is entered when the evaporator flow switch is off. When the chiller is in this state, the individual circuit states if
active are moved to the CMP IS OFF state through the normal states. The controller will generate the alarm in this condition
and not required to be reset if alarm is clear.

UNIT IS HOLDING
This state is entered when one of three conditions exists:
1. The control sensor reading is being maintained with in the control zone.

2. Control sensor reading is above the control zone but the Trend Of Load is less than the value in the set point.
This indicates that the temperature is decreasing toward the target at an acceptable speed. Therefore, no
additional cooling is needed at this time.

79
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

3. The temperature is below the control zone but the Trend of Load is greater than the set point. This indicates
that the temperature is increasing toward the target.Therefore, no reduction in cooling is needed at this time.

This state indicates that there is no need to adjust the cooling capacity of the chiller package. This state will
be exited when more or less capacity is required.

3. Circuit Control States


The action of the circuit control states actually result in more, less or no change in the amount of cooling capacity. The
CAPACITY CONTROL STATES dictate how the individual circuits move within their states.

CMP LOCKED OUT


This state is entered when the Capacity Control State is LOCK OUT or a safety set point for this circuit has indicated that a
critical situation has been encountered. Set points such as LOW SUCTION, HI DISCHARGE PRESSURE etc. are examples
of safety set points. Lockouts can be reset with USER level authorization from the keypad; however if the lockout condition
has not been corrected, the circuit will again be forced into the LOCKOUT State.

SAFETY TRIPPED
This state is entered when a safety trips but a lockout is not to be generated. An alarm is generated but the system will restart
after the delay specified in the corresponding set point. If a second trip occurs within the time specified in the set point, the
circuit will be placed in the CMP LOCK EDOUT State.

CMP OFF / READY


This state is entered when no cooling capacity is required from this circuit or the prior state was CMP ANTICYCE, LOST IO
LOCKED or SWITCHED OFF. In this state the circuit is ready to provide cooling capacity if needed. The circuit will remain
in this state for a minimum of 60 seconds.

CMP PMP DOWN


This state is entered whenever the pump down switch has been turned on or if this circuit is no longer wanted on. The
compressor is on and the liquid line solenoid is closed. This state is active until the suction pressure reaches the value in the
set point PMP DWN DELAY. The circuit will then move to the ANTICYC State.

CMP ANTICYCLE
This state is entered when the PMP DWN State has been completed. The circuit will stay in this state with all circuit points off
for the period of time contained in either set point “ANTYRECYCLE TIME “. The circuit will then move to the OFF State.

FAST UNLOADING
For screw compressors, this state is entered when the compressor is turned on. The system will remain in this state for 60
seconds while the “fast unloader” and unload points are on. This is to ensure that the screw is unloaded.
CMP IS HOLDING
This state only exists for infinite step compressors (Three solenoid valve SV1,SV2 & SV3). In this state,
the required refrigeration capacity of system is being meant; no movement of the slide valve is required.

CMP IS AT 35%
This state is when the compressor is providing 35% of its capacity. In this state, the relay output to activate the 35% valve is
turned on.

CMP IS AT 50%
This state is when the compressor is providing 50% of its capacity. In this state, the relay output to activate the 50% valve is
turned on.

80
USER'S MANUAL

CMP IS AT 75%
This state is when the compressor is providing 75% of its capacity. In this state, the relay output to activate the 75% valve is
turned on.

CMP IS AT 100%
This state is when the compressor is fully loaded. In this state, the circuit is providing the maximum amount of cooling capacity.

HI DISC UNLOAD
Refer to set points HI DISCH PSI, HI DISC UNLD, HI DISC RELD7 and HI DISCH TMP, HI DISCH UNLD and HI DISCH
RELD.
This state is entered when a fully loaded circuit, that has more than one step, has encountered either a dangerously high
discharge pressure or discharge temperature. One step of cooling capacity will be turned off. The circuit will remain in this
state for a minimum of five minutes before returning to the LOADED state if the dangerous condition has been corrected.
When capacity is being held due to a high discharge condition, once the discharge goes to normal operating condition
the circuit will return to its appropriate state.

LO SUCT UNLOAD
Refer to set points, LOW SUCTION, LO SUCT UNLD and LO SUCT RELD.
This state is entered when a fully loaded circuit, that has more than one step, has encountered a dangerously low suction
pressure. One step of cooling capacity will be turned off. The circuit will remain in this state for a minimum of five minutes
before returning to the LOADED State if the dangerous condition has been corrected. When capacity is being held due to a
low suction pressure condition, once the suction pressure returns to a normal operating condition the circuit will return to its
appropriate state. This should be same for "LOW GAS"

LO TMP UNLOAD
The circuits leaving liquid temperature have caused the system to unload. When the leaving liquid temperature gets to within
1.5 degrees F of the Freeze set point, the unload will occur before we hit the freeze protect safety.

HI AMP HOLD
This state is entered when a fully loaded circuit, that has more than one step, has encountered a dangerously high AMP
draw. Refer to set points for FLA per circuit and HI AMPS %. In this state, one step of cooling capacity will be turned off. The
circuit will remain in this state for a minimum of five minutes before returning to the LOADED State if the dangerous condition
has been corrected.

4. Set Point Definitions


4.1 SET POINT TYPES:
There are three different types of set points. The type determines the action that the system will take.

4.1.1. SET POINT


This type of set point’s value contains a target or provides information for some type of action. The time element in this type
is not used

4.1.2. LOCKOUT
This type of set point’s value contains a safety level and the time that the safety must be violated before the safety will trip.
Once a safety has tripped the system will take the appropriate action, shutting down the entire package or an individual
circuit (compressor) depending on the purpose of the safety. The system will then wait the safety down time contained in that
set point before trying to return the system to normal. If successful, the system will continue to operate. If a second trip occurs
on the same set point with in the lock out delay time that is contained in that set point the system will move to a LOCKOUT

81
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

state. IF THE LOCKOUT DELAY TIME IS SET TO ZERO THE LOCKOUT WILL OCCUR ON THE FIRST TRIP. This will
require manual intervention to reset the system. With each safety trip, the system will generate an alarm; refer to Alarms and
Safeties section of this manual.

4.1.3. ALARM
This type is similar to the LOCKOUT set point except it will never cause a lock out. The system will continue to try to return
to normal operation after waiting the safety down time. An ALARM set point type will never require manual intervention to
reset the system.

5. Set Points for Chiller Controller Algorithm


5.1 Control set points
1. CTL TARGET Controlling target is used with the ctl zone & slope and is leaving liquid

2. CTL ZONE + Added to the CTL TARGET to create the top of the control zone.

3. CTL ZONE - Subtracted from the CTL TARGET to create the bottom of the control zone.

4. POWERUP DELAY

This is the time that the system will remain in the START UP state before moving to the next state.

5.2 Capacity Control Logic


1 SLIDE RESPONCE This value is used to adjust the speed of responding to changes in the control algorithm.
1= faster response HIGHER number’s = slower response.

2 SLIDE VALVE COUNTDOWN This is the time delay before increasing or decreasing the number of refrigeration
steps.

3 MAX TREND OF LOAD - Maximum negative Trend of Load allowed before stopping the unit from loading.
If the actual ROC is less than this value the capacity control state is placed in the HOLDING state.

4 MAX TREND OF LOAD + Maximum positive Trend of Load allowed before stopping the unit from unloading.
If the actual ROC is greater than this value the capacity control state is placed in the HOLDING state.

5 TREND OF LOAD INTERVAL Number of second between the samples used for calculating the actual Trend
of Load

5.3 Set Points for Compressor Control


1 ANTYCYCLE This is the anti cycle time delay (in seconds) based on when the compressor was turned off. It will
vary from compressor to compressor.
2 PMP Down Delay Maximum time delay (in seconds) that a compressor can remain in the PUMP DOWN state.
3 Comp Min Run this is the minimum run time (in minutes) for a compressor once it is turned on.
This minimum run time is bypass only for the safeties.
4 FLA Comp#1 Full Load Amps for the compressor on circuit 1.
This value is used to calculate the high and the low ampere safeties limits.

82
USER'S MANUAL

5.4 Set Points for Compressor Safeties


1. HI AMPS: This set point is a percentage of the FLA; it is used to create the high amp draw limit. This value
is tested in the high amp safety, if the amps exceed this value for the time specified in this set point the safety
is tripped.

2. LOW AMPS: This set point is a percentage of the FLA; it is used to create the low amp draw limit. This
value is tested in the low amp draw safety, if the amps exceed this value for the time specified in this set
point the safety is tripped.

3. LOW SUCTION: If active, the system checks for low suction pressure for each running compressor. The
system will compare the suction pressure sensor reading to this value. It must be less than the value for the
period of time specified in the set point before this set point will trip.

4. LOW SUCT UNLOAD: The purpose of this set point is to take corrective action before a low suction
pressure safety occurs. If a circuit has more than one step and it is fully loaded and if the suction pressure
is less than the value of the safety set point (LOW SUCTION) plus the value of this set point, the system
will turn off one step of capacity.. The circuit state will be changed to LO SUCT HOLD. The circuit will remain
in this state for a minimum of 5 minutes. At that time, if the suction pressure has increased to a level greater
then the value of set point LOW SUCTION plus the value of set point LOW SUCT RELD the compressor
will return to normal control.

5. LOW SUCT RELD: The system will force to load if requirement ,if this setpoint is satisfied

6. UNSAFE SUCT: If active, the system checks for low suction pressure that is in an unsafe condition for
each running compressor. The system will compare the suction pressure sensor reading to this value. It must
be less than the value for the period of time specified in the set point before this set point will trip. Note the
time period specified should be very short, 2-5 seconds. This safety set point trips the circuit to the LOCKOUT
state immediately, no retry.

7. HI DISC PSI: If active, the system checks for high discharge pressure condition for each running compressor.
The system will compare the discharge pressure sensor reading to this value. It must be greater for the
period of time specified in the set point before this safety will trip.

8. HI DISC UNLOAD: The purpose of this set point is to take corrective action before a high discharge
pressure safety occurs. If a circuit has more than one step and it is fully loaded and its discharge pressure
exceeds the value of the safety set point HI DISCH PSI minus this set point, the system will turn off one
step of capacity. A screw compressor will be forced to unload until the discharge pressure falls below the
calculated value. The circuit state will be changed to HI DISC HLD. The circuit will remain in this state for
a minimum of 5 minutes. At that time if the discharge pressure has dropped below the value of the HI DISCH
PSI minus the HI DISC RELD the compressor will return to normal control.

9. HI DISC RELD: This set point works same as Low Suct Reld
10. LOW DISC PSI: If active, the system checks for low discharge pressure. The system will compare the
sensor reading to this value. It must be less than the value for the period of time specified in the set point
before a safety trip occurs.

11. HI DISC TMP: If active, the system checks for high discharge temperature condition for each circuit that
has at least one step on. The system will compare the discharge temperature sensor reading to this value.
It must be greater for the period of time specified in the set point before this safety will trip.

12. HI DISC UNLOAD: The purpose of this set point is to take corrective action before a high discharge
temperature safety occurs. If a circuit has more than one step and it is fully loaded and its discharge
temperature exceeds the value of the safety set point HI DISCH TMP minus this set point, the system will
turn off one step of capacity. A screw compressor will be force to unload until the discharge temperature falls
below the calculated value. The circuit state will be changed to HI DISC HLD. The circuit will remain in this

83
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

state for a minimum of 5 minutes. At that time if the discharge temperature has dropped below the value
of the HI DISCH TMP minus the HI DISC RELD the compressor will return to normal control.

13. HI DISC T RELD: This set point works same as LOW SUCT RELD
14. LOW OIL DIF: If active, the system checks for low differential oil pressure. The system will compare the
calculated differential oil pressure to this value. It must be less than the value for the period of time specified
in the set point before the safety will trip.

15. UNSAFE OIL: If active, the system checks for low differential oil pressure. The system will compare the
calculated differential oil pressure to this value. It must be less than the value for the period of time specified
in the set point before the safety will trip. The time delay for this set point should be very short 2-5 seconds.
These safeties trips to a lockout no retry are attempted. Manual intervention is required.

16. HII OIL TEMP: If active, the system checks for high oil temperature. The system will compare the oil
temperature sensor reading to this value. It must be ON or greater for the period of time specified in the
set point before this set point will trip. The sensor can be either an analog or digital input.

17. SAFETY HOLD DELAY: Time in seconds to hold before trying to reload when the capacity has been
decreased to avoid a safety, (Examples: high disc psi, high disc temp, low suct psi, etc,)

18. LEAD COMP.: Enables the user to specify the lead compressor.
19. COMP. ROTATION: Specifies the number of days between rotation

5.5 Set points for Unit Safeties


111 FREEZE If active, the system checks for freeze protection. The system will compare the chilled water out
temperature to this value. It must be less than the value for the period of time specified in the set point before this
safety will trip.

5.6 Oil Differential Calculation


The calculation is DISCHARGE PRESSURE minus SUCTION PRESSURE.

6. Authorization Function
The authorization code is a special four-character code that enables access in to the system. The code must be numeric
with values between 0 and 9if it is to be entered from the Keypad/Display.
This provides the capability of issuing different codes to different people if desired. There are four levels of authorization,
which provide different capabilities with in the system. The authorization code and the associated level cannot be displayed
in system. The authorization codes must be protected and remain confidential, if they are compromised unauthorized
personnel can gain access to the system. The two level of safety has been provided

1. User level - Authorized to Change Water leaving set point within the Min & Max value, lockout reset and
control zone

2. Factory Level - Authorized for rest of all the things

6.1 RESTORE FACTORY SETTING AND DATA LOGGING


6.1.1 If some modification has been made in the program SETPOINT, the factory setting can be
restored through the set point “Restore Factory Setting” at any movement.

6.1.2. Maximum 100 alarms can be stored with SP, DP and Current reading during trip. The last 20 Dynamic
reading with the interval of 1 second will also get stored which will updated with the mention time interval.

84
USER'S MANUAL

7. On/Off Switches
The following digital input switches can be associated with the system, their action will affect the chiller package or
an individual circuit, and then action will only affect that circuit:

• Flow switch, if off the system has lost flow. The system wills either lock out, if NO FLOW set point is active,
or shut down, if NO FLOW set point is inactive.

• Pump down switch, if on and the compressor is off, will not start the compressor. If the compressor is on,
the system moves to the pump down state to begin the process of turning off the compressor(s) in normal
steps.

• Run/Stop, if off the system will not run. This is usually wired to a RUN/STOP switch that is manually
positioned. If the system is running, the system moves all circuits (compressor) to off in normal steps. (If
a RUN/STOP and a Network RUN/STOP are both available they operate in series.)

• Emergency Stop switch, if on, the system will be shut down immediately and will remain disabled until the
switch is off.

8. Operating Schedules
Two operating schedules per each day of the week and 8 holidays are supported. Each schedule contains a start and
end time, if the time and day of the system is with in these limits the schedule is true and the system will be allowed
to run. If not, the system will be off due to schedule.

9. Compressor
The compressor with the least number of TOTAL RUN HOURS will become the lead. Refer to Set points #103 & #104.

10. Alarms and Safeties


10.1 Introduction
There are three types of alarms that are generated by the Carel control logic:

• Information only alarms,


• Controller system alarms and
• Chiller set point safety alarms.
All of the alarms have the same format. The alarm is identified and it is date time stamped. Alarms can be viewed
from Carel controller by pressing the ALARM STATUS (4) key or from the PC-Connect Program.

Sensor inputs used in conjunction with Controller set point safeties:

10.1.1 Suction Pressure - Pressure transducer to read the suction pressure.

10.1.2 Discharge Pressure - Pressure transducer to read the discharge pressure.

10.1.3 Oil Differential Pressure - Calculated value of the oil pressure as follows:
Screws without oil pump, discharge psi minus suction psi

10.1.4 Oil Temperature - Either a temperature sensor or a digital input that indicates when a high temperature
condition exists.

10.1.5 Discharge Temperature - Either a temperature sensor or a digital input that indicates when a high temperature
condition exists.

85
SCREW CHILLER (Water-cooled)

10.1.6 Motor Amps - Sensor input that measures AMP draw of the compressor. (Optional digital input)

10.1.7 Liquid Temperature - Temperature sensor that can be used to detect a freeze condition

10.1.8 Flow Switch - A digital input that indicates that flow through the chiller barrel exists. There can be one switch
per chiller or one for each circuit.

10.1.9 Set point safeties - For a safety to be interrogated, both the associated sensor input and the lockout set
point must be active. If a safety trips, the alarm name will consist of the set point name plus additional
identification such as point number or circuit number if applicable.

The system exercises “smart” safety testing in the following manner:

If a safety applies to a circuit and it is an active lockout type of a set point, the first time this safety trips an alarm
will be generated and the circuit will be shut down and placed in a safety state. The system will attempt to reactivate
this circuit after waiting the length of time specified in this set point, safety down time. If successful the system will
continue to run. If the same safety trips the time specified in the lockout delay time, the circuit will be locked off and
a manual intervention is required. If the lockout delay time is set to zero, the system will generate a lockout condition
the first time that the safety occurs.

The time in the safety state and the time between safeties are specified in the individual set points.

This enables the times to be unique for each lock out set point.

Most safeties are checked only if the Compressor is running, if he safety is always checked it will
be so noted.
The following are a list of safeties that are incorporated in the standard chiller algorithm control. These
safeties are checked every second. Note, for a multiple circuit system, each circuit is tested individually.
If a safety condition exists, action will be taken with that circuit only, other circuits will continue to function.

10.1.10 Freeze Protection (Safety is always checked)


If the leaving liquid temperature drops below the set point value the system, and all circuits, will enter a lockout state and a
freeze notification alarm will be generated. You have the option of one freeze protect for the package or individual freeze
protections by circuit.
10.1.11 No Flow Protection
If the flow switch is for the chiller system, then the entire system will be shut down and automatically restarted when the flow
switch is on, indicating that there is flow.
10.1.12 Phase Loss Protection
Phase loss, as indicated by the phase loss monitor, will result in the system and all circuits being locked off and a phase loss
notification alarm will be generated. No set point is required.
10.1.13 Emergency Stop
Emergency stop, as indicated by the emergency stop switch, will result in the system and all circuits being locked off and an
emergency stop notification alarm will be generated. No set point is required.
10.1.14 Low Differential Oil Pressure
This safety is designed to meet the compressor manufacturer requirements on oil pressure. For the first 5 (60 seconds if
setup as Hitachi screw compressors) seconds following a compressor start this safety is NOT checked. For the next 30
seconds, if the oil differential pressure drops below ½ of the value of the set point or the digital input turns ON and it remains
there for the time specified in the safety time of that set point, the compressor will be locked out and a low oil alarm generated.
After this time period, if the oil differential pressure drops below the value of the set point

86
USER'S MANUAL

10.1.15 Low Suction Pressure


If the suction pressure drops below the value of the set point or the digital input turns ON and it remains
there for the time specified in the safety time, the compressor will be locked out and a low suction alarm
generated. For the first 5 minutes after the compressor has started the set point will be ½, this enables
the set point safety time to be set much tighter for normal operation.
This safety is bypassed when the compressor is in the “CMP PUMP DOWN” state. This safety can also
be used as a freeze protection based upon the suction PSI.

10.1.16 Unsafe Suction Pressure


This safety is similar to the low suction pressure safety except this set point can be set up with a lower
value and a very short safety time. If the suction pressure drops below the value of the set point or the
digital input turns ON and it remains there for the time specified in the safety time of that set point, the
compressor will be locked out and a low suction alarm generated. This safety will always cause a lock out
on the first trip requiring a manual reset to restart the compressor. For the first 5 minutes after the
compressor has started the safety time is extend by twice the normal time delay, this enables the set point
safety time to be set much tighter for normal operation. . This safety is bypassed when the compressor
is in the “CMP PUMP DOWN” state.

10.1.17 Low Discharge Pressure


If the discharge pressure drops below the value of the set point and it remains there for the time specified in the safety time
of that set point, the compressor will be locked out and a low discharge alarm generated.
10.1.18 High Discharge Pressure (Safety is always checked)
If the discharge pressure rose above the value of the set point or the digital input turns ON and it remains there for the time
specified in the safety time of that set point, the compressor will be locked out and a high discharge alarm generated.
10.1.19 High Discharge Temperature (Safety is always checked)
If the discharge temperature analog input rises above the value of the set point or the digital input turns ON and it remains
there for the time specified in the safety time, the compressor will be locked out and a high temperature alarm generated.
10.1.20 HI Motor Temperature or Motor Fault (Safety is always checked)
If the high motor temperature input rises above the value of the set point or the digital input turns ON and it remains there for
the time specified in the safety time, the compressor will be locked out and a high motor temperature or motor fault alarm
generated.
10.1.21 Hi Oil Temperature
If the oil temperature rises above the value of the set point or the digital input turns ON and it remains there for the time
specified in the safety time of that set point, the compressor will be locked out and a high oil temperature alarm generated.
10.1.22 Low Motor Ampere
If the ampere analog input drop below the value of the set point and it remains there for the time specified in the safety time
of that set point, the compressor will be locked out and a low motor amp alarm generated. This alarm can be used to indicate
low refrigerant. This safety is bypassed for the first 3 seconds after a compressor has started.
10.1.23 Oil Level Low
If oil level drop below the required minimum level, the controller will display the alarm as "Low Oil Level”. The safety will
bypass for 60 minutes during running and 60 second during the start up of compressor.
