CONDENSER FREEZE POINT

, then the

CONDENSER WATER PUMP

shall be energized

until the

CONDENSER REFRIG TEMP

is greater than the

CONDENSER FREEZE POINT

plus

5° F (2.7° C). An alarm will be generated if the machine is in

PUMPDOWN

mode and the pump

is energized. An alert will be generated if the machine is not in

PUMPDOWN

mode and the

pump is energized. If in recycle shutdown, the mode shall transition to a non-recycle shutdown.

Tower-Fan Relay

This control can be used to assist the condenser water temperature control system (field

supplied). Low condenser water temperature can cause the chiller to shut down on low

refrigerant temperature. The tower fan relay, located in the starter, is controlled by the PIC to

energize and deenergize as the pressure differential between cooler and condenser vessels

changes in order to prevent low condenser water temperature and to maximize machine

efficiency. The tower-fan relay can only accomplish this if the relay has been added to the

cooling tower temperature controller. The

TOWER FAN RELAY

is turned on whenever the

CONDENSER WATER PUMP

is running, flow is verified, and the difference between cooler

and condenser pressure is more than 30 psid (207 kPad) or entering condenser water

temperature is greater than 85 F (29 C). The

TOWER FAN RELAY

is deenergized when the

condenser pump is off, flow is lost, the evaporator refrigerant temperature is less than the

override temperature, or the differential pressure is less than 28 psid (193 kPad) and entering

condensing water is less than 80 F (27 C).
