Protecting the VFD Configuration<br />

1. Select parameter P.051 from the VFD keypad.<br />

2. Press the ENTER softkey to access the parameter. A<br />

zero will be displayed.<br />

3. Use the ↑ arrow key to increment the value to 26. This is<br />

the password number.<br />

4. Press the ENTER softkey to save the value. P.051 will<br />

by displayed.<br />

NOTE: Parameter programming is disabled when the<br />

PASSWORD LED is on <strong>and</strong> enabled when the PASS-<br />

WORD LED is off.<br />

5. Select parameter P.006 from the VFD Keypad.<br />

6. Press the ENTER softkey to access the parameter.<br />

7. Use the ↑ arrow key to increment the value to 107. This<br />

is the password number to restrict displaying the remaining<br />

P, <strong>and</strong> all of the H <strong>and</strong> r parameters.<br />

8. Press the ENTER softkey to save the value.<br />

Modify Minimum <strong>and</strong> Maximum Load Points (∆T1/P1; ∆T2/<br />

P2) If Necessary — These pairs of chiller load points, located<br />

on the OPTIONS screen, determine when to limit guide vane<br />

travel or open the hot gas bypass valve when surge prevention<br />

is needed. These points should be set based on individual<br />

chiller operating conditions.<br />

A label that lists the configuration values of the controls is<br />

located on the inside of the unit’s control panel. These values<br />

are based upon the original selection of the chiller. Jobsite conditions<br />

may require a slight modification to these parameters.<br />

If after configuring a value for these points, surge prevention<br />

is operating too soon or too late for conditions, these parameters<br />

should be changed by the operator.<br />

An example of such a configuration is shown below.<br />

Refrigerant: HCFC-134a<br />

Estimated Minimum Load Conditions:<br />

44 F (6.7 C) LCW<br />

45.5 F (7.5 C) ECW<br />

43 F (6.1 C) Suction Temperature<br />

70 F (21.1 C) Condensing Temperature<br />

Estimated Maximum Load Conditions:<br />

44 F (6.7 C) LCW<br />

54 F (12.2 C) ECW<br />

42 F (5.6 C) Suction Temperature<br />

98 F (36.7 C) Condensing Temperature<br />

Calculate Maximum Load — To calculate the maximum load<br />

points, use the design load condition data. If the chiller full load<br />

cooler temperature difference is more than 15 F (8.3 C), estimate<br />

the refrigerant suction <strong>and</strong> condensing temperatures at<br />

this difference. Use the proper saturated pressure <strong>and</strong> temperature<br />

for the particular refrigerant used.<br />

Suction Temperature:<br />

42 F (5.6 C) = 37 psig (255 kPa) saturated<br />

refrigerant pressure (HFC-134a)<br />

Condensing Temperature:<br />

98 F (36.7 C) = 120 psig (1827 kPa) saturated<br />

refrigerant pressure (HFC-134a)<br />

Maximum Load ∆T2:<br />

54 – 44 = 10º F (12.2 – 6.7 = 5.5º C)<br />

Maximum Load ∆P2:<br />

120 – 37 = 83 psid (827 – 255 = 572 kPad)<br />

To avoid unnecessary surge prevention, add about 10 psid<br />

(70 kPad) to ∆P2 from these conditions:<br />

∆T2 = 10º F (5.5º C)<br />

∆P2 = 93 psid (642 kPad)<br />

61<br />

Calculate Minimum Load — To calculate the minimum load<br />

conditions, estimate the temperature difference the cooler will<br />

have at 10% load, then estimate what the suction <strong>and</strong> condensing<br />

temperatures will be at this point. Use the proper saturated<br />

pressure <strong>and</strong> temperature for the particular refrigerant used.<br />

Suction Temperature:<br />

43 F (6.1 C) = 38 psig (262 kPa) saturated<br />

refrigerant pressure (HFC-134a)<br />

Condensing Temperature:<br />

70 F (21.1 C) = 71 psig (490 kPa) saturated<br />

refrigerant pressure (HFC-134a)<br />

Minimum Load ∆T1 (at 20% Load): 2 F (1.1 C)<br />

Minimum Load ∆P1:<br />

71 – 38 = 33 psid (490 – 262 = 228 kPad)<br />

Again, to avoid unnecessary surge prevention, add 20 psid<br />

(140 kPad) at ∆P1 from these conditions:<br />

∆T1 = 2 F (1.1 C)<br />

∆P1 = 53 psid (368 kPad)<br />

If surge prevention occurs too soon or too late:<br />

LOAD<br />

At low loads<br />

(50%)<br />

SURGE PREVENTION SURGE PREVENTION<br />

OCCURS TOO SOON OCCURS TOO LATE<br />

Increase P1 by Decrease P1 by<br />

2 psid (14 kPad) 2 psid (14 kPad)<br />

Increase P2 by<br />

2 psid (14 kPad)<br />

Decrease P2 by<br />

2 psid (14 kPad)<br />

The differential pressure (∆P) <strong>and</strong> temperature (∆T) can be<br />

monitored during chiller operation by viewing ACTIVE<br />

DELTA P <strong>and</strong> ACTIVE DELTA T (HEAT_EX screen). Comparing<br />

SURGE/HGBP DELTA T to ACTIVE DELTA T will determine<br />

when the SURGE PREVENTION function will occur.<br />

The smaller the difference between the SURGE/HGBP DELTA<br />

T <strong>and</strong> the ACTIVE DELTA T values, the closer to surge<br />

prevention.<br />

Units with VFD — On units with VFD further adjustments can<br />

be made if response to surge prevention or protection is not<br />

functioning as desired. VFD GAIN <strong>and</strong> VFD INCREASE STEP<br />

can be adjusted to allow for more aggressive changes in speed<br />

when surge prevention or protection is active.<br />

CONFIGURE DIFFUSER CONTROL IF NECES-<br />

SARY — If the compressor is equipped with a variable diffuser,<br />

(size 5 compressor) access the SETUP2 screen. Scroll to<br />

DIFFUSER CONTROL <strong>and</strong> press the ENABLE<br />

softkey.<br />

Compare the diffuser <strong>and</strong> guide vane values (GUIDE VANE<br />

25% LOAD PT, GUIDE VANE 50% LOAD PT, GUIDE VANE<br />

75% LOAD PT, DIFFUSER 25% LOAD POINT, DIFFUSER<br />

50% LOAD POINT, DIFFUSER 75% LOAD POINT) to the<br />

values located on the label inside the control panel. See<br />

Fig. 12.<br />

Compressors with variable diffuser control have actuators<br />

tested <strong>and</strong> stamped with the milliamp (mA) value that results in<br />

100% actuator rotation. This value is configured on the<br />

SETUP2 screen. It is labeled DIFFUSER FULL SPAN mA.<br />

MODIFY EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION IF NECES-<br />

SARY — The EQUIPMENT SERVICE table has screens to<br />

select, view, or modify parameters. Carrier’s certified drawings<br />

have the configuration values required for the jobsite. Modify<br />

these values only if requested.<br />

SERVICE Screen Modifications — Change the values on<br />

these screens according to specific job data. See the certified<br />

drawings for the correct values. Modifications can include:<br />

chilled water reset<br />

entering chilled water control (Enable/Disable)<br />

4 to 20 mA dem<strong>and</strong> limit<br />

auto restart option (Enable/Disable)<br />

remote contact option (Enable/Disable)
