way that the chiller stops

COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The system shall be started manually
by placing the selector switch on
Auto.
A variation in the system load causes
the 2-way valves to modulate the
flow rate through the cooling coils.
The resulting variation in flow is
sensed by a flow switch and flow
meter within the bypass line that
connects the suctions of the primary
and secondary pumps. The direction
of flow and the flow rate within the
bypass indicates to the controller
whether the secondary circuit is
using more or less water than is
being produced by the primary
circuit.
In response, the controllers either
start or stop a set of primary pump
and chiller, necessary to balance the
production of the chilled water with
that used by the secondary circuit.
At the time each primary pump is
energized, a time delay relay is
energized which holds the chiller offthe line for approximately 10 sec (as
per manufacturer recommendation).
This delay permits water to circulate
through the evaporator and gives the
unit temperature controller time to
sense the existing system load
conditions. Consequently, when the
chiller is started, it comes on the line
at the stage, of loading needed to
balance the load.
This time lapse control scheme helps
prevent unnecessary chiller cycling.
Following the startup of a primary
pump and chiller, the temperature
controller of the individual chiller
assumes control. The active chillers
than balance out to maintain the
desired supply water temperature.
A reduced water flow rate within the
secondary circuit causes water to
bypass the secondary circuit. when
the flow exceeds 115 percent of the
flow rate of one primary pump. This
de-energizing primary pumps until
normal flow is restored within the
bypass.
Once normal flow is restored, the
step controller is stopped. It then
holds position until a new signal is
received.
The motor control center should
include sequencing switches. The

purpose of these switches is to
alternate the starting sequence of the
chillers and the primary pumps to
equalize running time.
The flow meter shall be adjustable
type having a control range from 0 to
140% of one primary pump flow
rate. The design flow in the bypass
line is 115% of the primary pump
flow rate. However, this is theoretical
and may be improved by field
experience.
