Range Overview

1.1.

Aquastream 3G Air-cooled liquid chiller range

Before explaining the different options and accessories available, lets first take a look at
the current range and review the definition of the Aquastream 3G Air-cooled liquid
chillers

Illustration 1. Range Overview

The Aquastream 3G Air-cooled liquid chillers family covers a capacity range between 50
kW and 450 kW, which includes Cooling only and Heat pump units. For the Cooling only
unit, it is called CGAM and the other unit is named CXAM. The units come in 3 families
which are Simplex (1 circuit), Duplex V (2 circuits) and Duplex W (2 circuits). S1, S2, V1,
V2, W1, W2, W3 and W4 are the cabinet depending on the units size and the units
sound level. If the units are in the same cabinet, its mean that they have the same
dimensions(length,width,height). Section with grey colour means there is no units for the
specific sizes and the chosen sound level.

Unit appearance

Unit appearance is different according to its acoustic level. There are 3 types of
acoustic level, Compact, Super Quiet or Super Quiet with Night Noise Setback
(fan operation on low speed, reducing sound level during the night) and
Comprehensive Acoustic Package. For each type, the unit will be provided with
different size of compressor, type of fan and compressor insulation. The difference of
unit appearance can be noticed easily by compressor insulation.

A, AB, ABC (Not B) = 9
B, AB = 3

B, BA, BAC = 8
A, AB, ABC (Not B) = 9

Explication on how compressor staging is done


For the 2-compressor circuits:
If the compressors are equally sized, we can start with any of them first.
If not, we want to start the smaller compressor first.
Thus, for sizes up to 120 nominal tons, we always do A, AB for circuit 1 and B,
AB for circuit 2.
For the 3-compressor circuits:
For 140 and 170 ton units, the smallest compressor is the B compressor. 140
ton was not qualified to run compressor B alone. 170 ton was qualified to run
compressor B alone. Thus, they get different sequences.
On 150 & 160, we act similar to a duo, and do A, AB, ABC on circuit 1, and C,
CB, CBA on circuit 2.

Freeze Protection digit 18 = X

No heaters are provided but the anti freeze protection is possible with the pump
activation by CH530 control (pump ON from 2C down to negative ambient
temperature; pump OFF up to 5C) using external temperature sensor. This system
allows to reduce the price of the unit.

Illustration 10. Range of evaporator application option

The illustration above shows the application that can be adapted for evaporator. In
standard, the evaporator is provided with standard cooling application which the
evaporator leaving temperature is in a range of 5.5C to 20C. Low temperature
processing with the range of leaving water temperature between -12C and 5.4C is an
option.
7.1.

Ice making Digit 21 = C

The other option for evaporator is ice making(ice building) with a wide range of leaving
water temperature between -12C and 20C. This option can be applied when the chiller
is used to make ice at night. The frozen water (ice) serves as thermal storage that can be
melted to produce cooling. 2 set points enable the customer to control the chiller for this
option. One set point used for the day time and the other one used during the night time.
At night, unit generates ice when utility rates are low (off-peak period) and uses ice for
cooling during the day when utility rates are high (on-peak period). During the night, the
chiller cools the mixture of glycol/water to a very low leaving water temperature (i.e. -7C)
which is then circulated through coils inside a tank containing water to create ice. During
the day, heat load is carried through the chilled water system to the ice storage tanks.
The ice melts and cools the glycol/water mixture (i.e. 5C), then is routed to the cooling
coils and cools the building. The chiller will start and run all available compressors (no
stagging). The chiller will load at its maximum rate. Softloading is not in effect in ice
making. The condenser control in ice making shall be the same as normal cooling.
Control on ice making
Ice Building Enable/Disable setting
This setting will Enable or Disable the ice building option. It can be set through
the DynaView or TechView. This setting does not start or stop ice building. The
Ice Building Command starts and stops ice building.

Initiating Ice Building (Ice Building Command)


Ice Building can be initiated through the following means:

The external ice building command binary input (optional).


BAS ice building command (optional).
Front panel ice building command (set from DynaView or TechView).

If any one of these inputs command the chiller to make ice and the ice building feature
is enabled the chiller will attempt to make ice.
Benefits of ice making

Reduces or even replaces mechanical cooling durind the day


Reduces the electricity consumption cost
Avoid over sizing the chiller

More detail
The ice bank tank for ice making is manufactured by Calmac. Ice making can be used in
Air conditioning
Eliminates peak-hours load ( explained in paragraph above)
Limitation of power absorbed
During the day, the chiller used the ice to cool the building. Thus, the energy
used during the peak period is reduced.

Water Connection Digit 22

There are 3 ways which are suggested by Trane for water pipe connections (cold
water and HR hot water (if any) connections) .
8.1. Grooved pipe connection(standard) digit 22 = 1
This type of pipe has a grooved end.
This groove provides a gripping area for the coupling to engage around the full
pipe circumference.
Easy to connect the piping .

Illustration 11. Grooved pipe connection

Grooved area

8.2. Grooved pipe connection with flange adapter digit 22 = 2


This kind of pipe connection comes with a flange adapter which is used to convert
both water connections from grooved pipe to flanged PN 10 connections.
To connect the grooved pipe with the grooved flange adapter, a victaulic
coupling is used between them.

leaving water temperature. As the leaving water temperature increases, the PHR
water flow rate increases. The main heater supply additional heat if needed. CH530
does not control the three-way valve.
For domestic hot water in lodging applications, a separate heat exchanger is needed
for potable water.

Illustration 22 shows the THR water loop in application. The components in red dash
box are mounted in factory and in the blue dash are provided by customer. The main
heater supply additional heat if needed. The circulation pump provides constant water
flow rate from the tank. The 3 way valve is controlled by CH530 to adjust the water
flow of THR heat exchanger to provide as much heat capacity as possible without
causing defaults and to maintain optimal condensing parameters. THR is applied to
the cooling unit only. The chiller will always maintain the leaving chilled water
temperature according to its set point.
The goal of the water flow control is to provide suitable water flow rate in order to
recover as much heat capacity as possible from THR BPHE.
With THR option, on heat recovery mode, condenser air flow is controlled in order to
recover a maximum capacity in the plate heat exchanger. However, recovered
capacity depends on the compressors load and is also dependant of the air ambient
temperature. TOPSS selection give the HR capacity for chiller at full load.
Below 15C ambient temperature, HR capacity cannot be predicted due to non
controlled air flow variations.

To get more information on pump visit web site www.wilo.fr


When the unit is provided with two pumps, the pump needs to be interchanged
as only one pump is allowed to run at once. The control will alternate pump
operation each time the unit is allowed to start.

When the CGAM doesnt have the hydraulic module option, maximum water side working pressure is
10 bars (the safety valve is not provided).

With hydraulic module option, CGAM Slant & V models water side working pressure is
limited to 4 bars.

The safety valve limit this working pressure to 5 bars on CGAM W hydraulic module.

17.2.6.2. Detailed example pay back time


This study is made to explain the difference between balancing valve option and
variable speed drive option. The study is carried out to estimate roughly how much we
can save by installing a variable speed drive vs the use of a balancing valve.
The function of variable speed drive is to vary the pumps motor frequency which
changes the pressure drop to the pump itself. For a pressure between 150 kPa and
250 kPa and a pressure decrease of 10 kPa, we have approximately 5% of reduction
in energy consumption
Example
A pump with reference number IPL40/160-5.5/2 has been chosen to carry out this
study. The starting pressure of the pump is about 175 kPa. We would like to reduce
the pressure to 155 kPa. Therefore, we have 20 kPa of diminution in pressure, which
means the energy consumption is saved about 10%.
Initial energy consumption = 5.5 kW
Saved energy = 10% * 5.5 = 0.5 kW
With variable speed drive, we can save 0.5 kW of energy consumption. For the
electricity consumption, we did an annual calculation.
Saving calculation :

Saving made over one year


=
Number of operating hours for one year
*
Energy saved (kW)
*
Electricity rate (kW/h)

Number of pumps operating hours for one year = 5000 h


Energy saved = 0.5 kW
Electricity rate = 0.15 /kWh
Saving made over one year thanks to variable speed drive = 5000 * 0.5 * 015
= 375
Comparison the price
Variable speed drive
= 570
Balancing valve
= 250
___________________________
= 320

CG-PRB018-E4

50

The difference price between variable speed drive and balancing valve is 320 .
However, the customer will get the pay back in one year with variable speed drive as
the customer will save 375 per year by using variable speed drive.
Another example
Number of pumps operating hours for one year = 2000 h
Energy saved = 0.5 kW
Electricity rate = 0.15 /h

Saving made over one year thanks to variable speed drive = 2000 * 0.5 * 015
= 150
Here, the customer will save 150 per year. The pay back time is around two years.

Conclusion
Most of the time pay back time is around one or two years.
