RC2-830 Construction
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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.

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:

USER'S MANUAL
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.
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.
5. Check if all the stop valves in the system are already opened
8. Recheck the wiring to the compressor motor is as per the wiring diagram with Star – Delta connection given below.

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

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.

Chiller information:
• Capacity Control State - State of chiller
• TIME - time in that state, if the state is UNIT IN POWER UP time will decrement to zero
• Steps wanted / Steps Actual On - Number of steps wanted on verses the actual steps turned on verses
the total steps on the chiller.
• Slide Valve Countdown - value that is counted down. The Slide Response and where the control temperature
is in relationship to the control zone will determine the speed of the count down. When the value decrements
to zero, the system will determine if a change in the systems capacity is required.
• Trend Of Load – Trend Of Load of control sensor, the speed at which the control sensor is changing.
78
USER'S MANUAL
• TIME - time in that state, if the state is CMP ANTICYCLE time will decrement to zero.
• Oil Diff - Oil differential pressure. Oil differential pressure is calculated as follows:
Semi hermetic screws; Oil psi – Suction psi or Discharge psi – Suction psi.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
4.1.2. 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.
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.
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

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
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
6.1.2. Maximum 100 alarms can be stored with SP, DP and Current reading during trip. The last 20 Dynamic

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.
10.1.3 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.
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.
