Optimum Water Temperatures and Flow A key to improving energy efficiency for any chiller is minimizing the compressor pressure lift. Reducing the lift reduces the compressor work and its energy consumption per unit of output. The chiller typically consumes more energy than any other component in the chiller system. Therefore, the optimum plant design must take into account all of the interactions between chiller, pumps, and tower.

Higher Leaving Chilled Water Temperatures Warmer leaving chilled water temperatures will raise the compressor's suction pressure and decrease the lift, improving efficiency. Using 45°F (7°C) leaving water instead of 42°F (5.5°C) will significantly reduce chiller energy consumption.

Evaporator Temperature Drop The industry standard has been a 10°F (5.5°C) temperature drop in the evaporator. Increasing the drop to 12°F or 14°F (6.6°C or 7.7°C) can improve chiller efficiency. Chilled water pump energy will also be reduced.

Reduced Evaporator Fluid Flow Several popular chiller plant control practices including Variable Primary Flow systems advocate reducing the evaporator fluid flow rate as the chiller capacity is reduced. This practice can significantly reduce the evaporator pumping power while having little effect on chiller energy consumption. The Magnitude chiller can operate effectively in variable evaporator flow systems as long as the minimum and maximum tube velocities are taken into consideration when selecting the chiller. See section on Variable Fluid Flow Rates on page 7.

Condenser Entering Water Temperature As a general rule, a 1°F (0.5°C) drop in condenser entering water temperature will reduce chiller energy consumption by two percent. Cooler water lowers the condensing pressure and reduces compressor work. One or two degrees can make a noticeable difference. The incremental cost of a larger tower can be small and provide a good return on investment.

Condenser Water Temperature Rise The industry standard of 3 gpm/ton or about a 9.5°F (5.3°C) delta-T works well for most applications.

Reduced Condenser Fluid Flow Several popular chiller plant control practices also advocate reducing the condenser fluid flow rate as the chiller load is reduced. This practice can significantly reduce the condenser pumping power, but it may also have the unintended consequence of significantly increasing compressor power since the leaving condenser water temperature is directly related to compressor lift and power. The higher compressor power will typically be larger than the condenser pumping power reduction and will result in a net increase in chiller plant energy consumption. Therefore, before this strategy is applied for energy saving purposes it should be extensively modeled or used in an adaptive chiller plant control system which will take into account all of the interdependent variables affecting chiller plant energy. If it is decided to use variable condenser fluid flow, the Magnitude chiller can operate effectively as long as the minimum and maximum tube velocities are taken into consideration when selecting the chiller.

Free-Cooling Pressure Inversion Pressure inversion can happen in the chiller when the building system uses free cooling. The chiller had been in the OFF state with no water flowing so the pressure inside was relatively high and corresponds to the water temperatures inside the heat exchangers. When the condenser pumps starts with cold water from the free-cooling system, the sudden drop in condenser temperature creates an inverted pressure situation. The refrigerant inside the heat exchangers flows to equalize the pressure. During this process, there can be enough pressure difference to cause refrigerant flow and impeller rotation for a short time. As long as power to the chiller is on, the WME software recognizes this condition and will levitate the bearings until the pressure equalizes. Once the pressure equalizes, the chiller will operate as normal.

OMM 1034-4 5

Chilled Water Temperature The maximum temperature of water entering the chiller on standby must not exceed 105°F (46.1°C). Maximum temperature entering on start-up must not exceed 90°F (32°C). Minimum chilled water leaving temperature without antifreeze is approximately 38°F (3.3°C).

Piping Piping must be adequately supported to remove weight and strain on the chiller's fittings and connections. Be sure piping is adequately insulated for job conditions. Install a cleanable 20-mesh water strainer upstream of the evaporator and condenser. Install enough shutoff valves to permit draining water from the evaporator or condenser without draining the complete system.

Condenser Water Temperature When the ambient wet bulb temperature is lower than design, the entering condenser water temperature of Magnitude model WME chillers can be lowered to improve chiller performance.

Chillers can start with entering condenser water temperatures as low as 40°F (4.4°C). For short periods of time during startup, the entering condenser water temperature can even be lower than the leaving chilled water temperature.

Magnitude model WME chillers are equipped with electronic expansion valves (EXV) and will run with entering condenser water temperatures as low as shown in Figure 1 or as calculated from the following equation on which the curves are based:

Min. ECWT = 5.25+(LWT)-0.75*DTFL*(PLD/100)+14 *(PLD/100)2 Where:

ECWT = Entering condenser water temperature LWT = Leaving chilled water temperature DTFL = Chilled Water Delta-T at full load PLD = The percent chiller load point to be checked

For example; at 44°F LWT, 10°F Delta-T at full load, and 50% full load operation, the entering condenser water temperature could be as low as 49°F. This provides excellent operation with water-side economizer systems.

6 OMM 1034-4

Depending on local climatic conditions, using the lowest possible entering condenser water temperature may be more costly in total system power consumed than the expected savings in chiller power would suggest, due to the excessive fan power required.

In this scenario, cooling tower fans would continue to operate at 100% capacity at low wet bulb temperatures. The trade-off between better chiller efficiency and fan power should be analyzed for best overall system efficiency. Daikin Daikin's Energy Analyzer™ program can optimize the chiller/tower operation for specific buildings in specific locales.

Even with tower fan control, some form of water flow control, such as tower bypass, is recommended.

Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrate two temperature-actuated tower bypass arrangements. The “Cold Weather” scheme, Figure 3, provides better startup under cold ambient air temperature conditions. The bypass valve and piping are indoors and thus warmer, allowing for warmer water to be immediately available to the condenser. The check valve may be required to prevent air at the pump inlet.

Figure 2: Tower Bypass: Mild Weather Operation

Figure 3: Tower Bypass: Cold Weather Operation (Bypass Indoors)

Condenser water temperature control The standard MicroTech controller is capable of three stages of tower fan control plus an analog control of either a three-way tower-bypass valve or variable speed tower-fan motor. Stages are controlled from condenser-water temperature. The three-way valve can be controlled to a different water temperature or track the current tower stage. This allows optimum chilled water plant performance based upon specific job requirements.

Pumps The condenser water pump(s) must be cycled off when the last chiller of the system cycles off. This will keep cold condenser water from migrating refrigerant to the condenser. Cold liquid refrigerant in the condenser can make start up difficult. In addition, turning off the condenser water pump(s) when the chillers are not operating will conserve energy.

OMM 1034-4 7

Include thermometers and pressure gauges at the chiller inlet and outlet connections and install air vents at the high points of piping. Where noise and vibration are critical and the unit is mounted on spring isolators, flexible piping and conduit connections are necessary.

Variable Fluid Flow Rates and Tube Velocities Many chiller system control and energy optimization strategies require significant changes in evaporator and condenser water flow rates. The Magnitude chiller line is particularly well suited to take full advantage of these energy saving opportunities provided that the maximum and minimum fluid flow rates are taken into consideration for a specific application. The sales engineer has the flexibility to use different combinations of shell size, number of tubes, and pass arrangements to select the optimum chiller for each specific application.

Both excessively high or excessively low fluid flow rates should be avoided. Excessively high fluid flow rates and correspondingly high tube velocities will result in high fluid pressure drops, high pumping power, and potentially tube corrosion and/or tube erosion damage. Excessively low fluid flow rates and correspondingly low velocities should also be avoided as they will result in poor heat transfer, high compressor power, sedimentation and tube fouling. Excessively high and low tube velocities can be particularly problematic and damaging in open loop systems.

Rates of Fluid Flow Change If it is decided to vary the evaporator water flow rate the rate of change should not exceed 50% per minute and should not exceed the minimum or maximum velocity limits as determined by the Daikin chiller software program.

Vibration Mounting The Magnitude chillers are almost vibration-free. Consequently, floor mounted spring isolators are not usually required. Rubber mounting pads are shipped with each unit. It is wise to continue to use piping flexible connectors to reduce sound transmitted into the pipe and to allow for expansion and contraction.

System Water Volume All chilled water systems need adequate time to recognize a load change, respond to that load change and stabilize, without undesirable short cycling of the compressors or loss of control. In air conditioning systems, the potential for short cycling usually exists when the building load falls below the minimum chiller plant capacity or on close-coupled systems with very small water volumes.

Some of the things the designer should consider when looking at water volume are the minimum cooling load, the minimum chiller plant capacity during the low load period and the desired cycle time for the compressors.

Assuming that there are no sudden load changes and that the chiller plant has reasonable turndown, a rule of thumb of “gallons of water volume equal to two to three times the chilled water gpm flow rate” is often used.

A properly designed storage tank should be added if the system components do not provide sufficient water volume.

Multi-chiller Up to eight WME chillers are capable of being interconnected and operating in a multi chiller mode using their internal control network. Please contact Daikin Service for installation of the correct software for multi-chiller operation.

System Analysis Although we recommend analyzing the entire system, it is generally effective to place the chiller in the most efficient mode because it is a large energy consumer.

The Daikin Energy Analyzer program is an excellent tool to investigate the entire system efficiency, quickly and accurately. It is especially good at comparing different system types and operating parameters. Contact your local Daikin sales office for assistance on your particular application.

General Description General Description The centrifugal MicroTech-E control system consists of microprocessor-based controllers that provide all monitoring and control functions required for the controlled, efficient operation of the chiller. The system consists of the following components:

• Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS), one per chiller, provides unit information and is the primary user interface for all system data and setpoint information.

• Unit Controller, one per chiller, controls unit functions and communicates with all other controllers. It is located in a panel adjacent to the OITS.

• Compressor Controller located in the compressor controls compressor functions such as loading and unloading and collects I/O points near the compressor,.

• The operator can monitor all operating conditions by using the unit-mounted OITS. In addition to providing all normal operating controls, the MicroTech-E control system monitors equipment protection devices on the unit and will take corrective action if the chiller is operating outside of its normal design conditions. If a fault condition develops, the controller will shut the compressor or entire unit down and activate an alarm output. Important operating conditions at the time an alarm condition occurs are retained in the controller’s history log to aid in troubleshooting and fault analysis.

• The system is protected by a password scheme that only allows access by authorized personnel. The operator must enter the password into the touch screen before any setpoints can be altered.

Component Description Operator Interface Touch Screen The operator interface touch screen (OITS) is the primary device by which commands and entries into the control system are made (a laptop computer can also be used). It also displays all controller data and information on a series of graphic screens. The control panel contains a USB port that can be used for loading information to and from the control system including download of trend log data and uploading software upgrades. The OITS panel is mounted on a moveable arm to allow placement in a convenient position for the operator. There is a screen-saver programmed into the system. The screen is reactivated by touching it anywhere on the front surface.

Unit Controller There is one unit controller mounted on the chiller which is the primary interface to the user and for field I/O connections.

Unit and compressor on/off switches are mounted in the unit controller panel located adjacent to the OITS panel. They are designated 1 for on and O for off. The compressor on/off switch should only be used when an immediate stop is required since the normal shut down sequence is bypassed.

There is a unit enable switch located on the left outside of the panel that causes a controlled shutdown of the compressor.

The unit controller's primary function is processing data relating to the entire chiller unit operation, as compared to data relating to the compressor operation. The unit controller processes information and sends data to other controllers and devices and relays information to the OITS for graphic display.

The following functions operate in the unit controller:

• User interface • BAS interface • Field I/O; pumps, alarm contact, remote start/stop, tower control • Chiller I/O; water temperatures, EXV control, condenser pressure • Data trending • Chiller alarm handling • Alarm display

Optional Harmonic Filters The optional harmonic filter is a device that reduces harmonics. It may be factory-mounted in the chiller power panel or remotely mounted in the field. Operation The harmonic filter is a passive device and there is no operator action required for normal operation. Cleaning Excessive accumulations of dirt on the reactor windings or insulators and capacitor terminals should be removed to permit free circulation of air and to guard against the possibility of insulation breakdown. Particular attention should be given to cleaning the top and bottom ends of the winding assemblies and to cleaning out ventilating ducts. Windings should be lightly cleaned by the use of a vacuum cleaner. If necessary a blower or compressed air may be used but pressure should not exceed 25 psi. Lead supports, tap changers and terminal boards, bushings, and other major insulating surfaces should be brushed or wiped with a dry cloth. The use of liquid cleaners is not recommended due to deteriorating effects on most insulating materials. Periodic Inspection and Maintenance The filter has no moving or active parts and therefore requires only minimal periodic maintenance when installed in a clean and well ventilated environment. Annual maintenance is recommended. This should include: 1. Visual inspection for evidence of loose connections, dirt, moisture, rusting, corrosion, and deterioration of the

insulation, varnish or paint. Observations should be made for signs of overheating and overvoltage creeping. Corrective measures should be taken as necessary.

2. For early detection of any developing hotspots, an infrared scan can be performed while the unit is operating under its heaviest load condition.

3. The unit capacitors are equipped with an internal ‘Tear-Off’ fuse pressure interrupter to prevent explosive failure. At the end of its service life, pressure within a capacitor will build due to the release of gases as its dielectrics breakdown. The covers on the cans are designed to expand or bulge and Tear-Off the internal fuse as this pressure builds. Capacitors should be inspected regularly and replaced when found to have an expanded cover.

CAUTION

Ensure that power to the unit is turned off and safely isolated before replacing failed capacitors or blown fuses. 4. Most units are also equipped with capacitor fuses. Capacitor fuses are intended to provide additional protection

against overloading of the capacitors. A blown fuse can be detected by checking for illumination of the blown fuse indicator when this option has been purchased or by measuring the voltage across the fuse terminals while energized. If voltage is not near zero or the blown fuse indicator is on, the fuse should be replaced.

5. Measuring the current in each of the three phases of the capacitor circuit can be a quick and easy method of determining the condition of the capacitors. The capacitors can be assumed to be in good operating condition when all three phases carry approximately the same amount of load current. Measurements should be taken at the input to the capacitor distribution block and can be done at any loading condition. Phase currents that are imbalanced by more than 10%, indicate a capacitor failure or blown fuse. When the filter capacitor bank has been connected in a wye configuration (ie. Two jumpers create a common point on each set of three capacitors), locating the problem capacitor(s) can be achieved by measuring the voltage between the common neutral point of each set to ground. If the voltage difference is greater than 10 volts, at least one of the capacitors in that set has failed or has a blown fuse. Testing should be conducted annually or whenever the unit seems to be operating in an abnormal manner. The unit is capable of continued operation with some failed capacitors or blown capacitor fuses. Harmonic mitigation performance will be sacrificed however, so it is recommended that all failed capacitors or blown capacitor fuses be replaced as soon as is practically possible after detection.

CAUTION

Service work on this device must be only be performed by technicians trained and experienced on them.

WME 500 motors are designated as M2 or M3. • "M2 motors are standard 3-phase and the VFD

performs similar to a 6-pulse drive. • "M3 motors are 6-phase (connected to a 3-phase power

supply) and the VFD performs similar to a 12-pulse drive. They provide increased protection against harmonic distortion, but are not required on most applications.

WME 700 motors are 6-phase and designated as M4. The VFD performs similar to a 12-pulse drive.

Notes for field wiring diagram ( page 17) 1 Optional Flow Switches; If field supplied pressure

differential flow switches are used, they must be installed across the vessel and not the pump. They must provide isolated dry contacts at J27. Removing the factory jumpers will correctly put the field switches in series with the factory-mounted switches.

2 CW Reset & Demand Limit; External 4-20mA signals can be wired to J23 for leaving (chilled) water reset and to J26 for demand limit.

3 Tower Bypass Valve & Tower Fan VFD; 0-10VDC analog outputs to these devices.

4 Chiller Remote On/Off Control of unit can be accomplished by connecting a set of isolated dry contacts at J25.

SET Screens The set screens on the Interface Panel are used to input the many setpoints associated with equipment of this type. MicroTech-E provides an extremely simple method for accomplishing this. Appropriate setpoints are factory set and checked by Daikin Service or a Factory Authorized Service Company during commissioning. However, adjustments and changes are often required to meet job conditions. Certain settings involving pumps and tower operation are always field set.

Pressing the SET button from any other screen accesses the SET screen. Pressing the SET button while on a SET screen will access the SERVICE screen.

The various setpoint groups are in a column on the right side of the screen. Each button contains a number of setpoints grouped together by similar content. For example, The WATER contains various setpoints relating to water temperatures.

NOTE: Some setpoints that do not apply to a particular application may still be listed on the screen. They will be inactive and can be ignored.

The numbered buttons in the second from right column are pressed to select a particular setpoint. The selected setpoint will appear in green on the screen and a description of it (with the range of available settings) will appear in the upper left-hand box.

Procedure for Changing a Setpoint A list of setpoints, their default value, their available setting range, and password authority are shown on the page relating to the particular setpoint screen beginning on page 27.

Press the applicable Setpoint Group Button. A complete explanation of setpoint content of each group follows this section.

1) Select the desired setpoint by pressing the numbered button.2) Press the CHANGE button indicating that you wish to change a setpoint value. A keypad dialog box will be

turned on automatically for entering the password.3) O= Operator password : default = 1004) T = Technician level password is reserved for authorized technicians5) Press the appropriate numbers in the keypad box to enter the password. There is a small delay between

pressing the keypad and recording the entry. Be sure that an asterisk appears in the window before pressing thenext number. Press ENTER to return to the SETPOINT screen. The password will remain open for 15 minuteafter initiation and does not need to be re-entered during this period.

6) Press CHANGE again7) The numeric keypad and action buttons in the lower left-hand corner of the screen will be activated. Setpoints

with numeric values can be changed in two ways:• Select the desired value by pressing the numbered buttons. Press ENTER to enter the value or CANCEL to

cancel the transaction.• Press the UP or DOWN button to increase or decrease the value displayed. Press ENTER to enter the value or

CANCEL to cancel the transaction.Some setpoints are text rather than numeric values. For example, LWT Reset Type can be "None" or "4-20 ma". The selection can be made by toggling between choices using the UP or Down button. If dashed lines appear in the setpoint window, it indicates that you have toggled too far and need to reverse direction. Press ENTER to enter the choice or CANCEL to cancel the transaction. Setpoints requiring text entry open an alphanumeric keyboard. Once CHANGE is selected, the CANCEL or ENTER buttons must be pressed before another setpoint can be selected. Additional setpoints can be changed by selecting another setpoint on the screen or by selecting an entirely new group of setpoints.

Range Extension The range extension function is only accessible with the technician password. Consult Daikin Service.

Explanation of Setpoints Each of the setpoint groups of screens are detailed in the following section. The groups are: WATER, UNIT, STAGING, POWER, TOWER, VALVE, ALARMS, BAS In some cases, pressing the button again may display a second page of setpoints in the same group. Pressing SET from any SET screen accesses the SERVICE screen. In other words, it is the second "SET" screen. While containing information and activity buttons for the service technician, it also has valuable information for the operator.

The software version numbers shown in the lower left corner are the controllers' software identification. These numbers may be required by Daikin to answer questions about unit operation or to assist in possible future upgrades of software.

Explanation of Tower Control Settings The MicroTech control can control cooling tower fan stages, a tower bypass valve, and/or a tower fan VFD if the chiller has a dedicated cooling tower.

The Tower Bypass Valve position will always control the Tower Fan Staging if Valve Setpoint, Stage Setpoint is selected. Fan staging is determined by Min & Max Tower Valve Position.

There are five possible tower control strategies as noted below and explained in detail later in this section. They are selected from SETPOINT TOWER SP2.

1. NONE, Tower fan staging only. In this mode the tower fan staging (up to 3 stages) is controlled by either the condenser Entering Water Temperature (EWT) or LIFT pressure (difference between the condenser and evaporator pressures). Tower bypass or fan speed are not controlled.

2. VALVE SP, Tower staging with low-limit controlled bypass valve. In this mode the tower fans are controlled as in #1 plus a tower bypass valve is controlled to provide a minimum condenser EWT. There is no interconnection between the fan control and the valve control.

3. VALVE STAGE, Tower staging with stage controlled bypass valve. In this mode the bypass valve controls between fan stages to smooth the control and reduce fan cycling

4. VFD STAGE. In this mode a VFD controls the first fan. Up to 2 more fans are staged on and off and there is no bypass valve.

5. VALVE/VFD, Tower fan control with VFD plus bypass valve control.

Tower Fan Staging Only (NONE) The following settings are used for the Tower Fan Staging Only mode, (SP= setpoint) 1) TOWER SETPOINT Screen

2) See Figure 6, Field Wiring Diagram on page 17 for fan staging field wiring connection points. a) SP1. Select TEMP if control is based on condenser EWT or LIFT if based on compressor lift expressed as a

pressure difference. b) SP2. Select NONE for no bypass valve or fan VFD control. c) SP3. Select one to three fan outputs depending on the number of fan stages to be used. More than one fan can

be used per stage through the use of relays. d) SP4. Select STAGE UP TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value is probably a good starting point. The

value may need to be adjusted later depending on actual system operation. e) SP5. Select STAGE DOWN TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value is probably a good starting point.

The value may need to be adjusted later depending on actual system operation. 3) If TEMP is selected in SP1, use

a) SP6. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in degrees F (degrees C), start with default of 3 degrees F.

b) SP8-11. Set the STAGE ON temperatures consistent with the temperature range over which the condenser EWT is desired to operate. The default values of 70°F, 75°F and 80°F are a good place to start in climates with moderate wet bulb temperatures. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used must be the same as SP3.

4) If LIFT is selected in SP1, use

a) SP7. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in PSI (kPa). Start with default of 6 PSI.

b) SP11-13. Start with default setpoints. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used must be the same as SP3.

34 OMM 1034-4

Tower Fan Staging With Bypass Valve Controlling Minimum EWT (VALVE SP) 1) TOWER SETPOINT Screen

a) SP1. Select TEMP if control is based on condenser EWT or LIFT if based on compressor lift expressed as a pressure difference.

b) SP2. Select Valve SP for control of bypass valve based on temperature or lift. c) SP3. Select one to three fan outputs depending on the number of fan stages to be used. More than one fan can

be used per stage through the use of relays. d) SP4. Select STAGE UP TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value of 2 minutes is probably a good starting

point. The value may need to be adjusted later depending on actual system operation. e) SP5. Select STAGE DOWN TIME from 1 to 60 minutes. The default value of 5 minutes is probably a good

starting point. The value may need to be adjusted later depending on actual system operation. f) If TEMP is selected in SP1, use:

i) SP6. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in degrees F (C), start with default of 3 degrees F. ii) SP8-11. Set the STAGE ON temperatures consistent with the temperature range over which the condenser

EWT is desired to operate. The default values of 70°F, 75°F, and 80°F are a good place to start in climates with moderate wet bulb temperatures. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used must be the same as SP3.

g) If LIFT is selected in SP1, use i) SP7. Select STAGE DIFFERENTIAL in PSI (kPa). Start with default of 6 PSI. ii) SP12-15. Start with default setpoints. The number of STAGE ON setpoints used must be the same as SP3.

2) VALVE SETPOINT Screen a) SP1, Select NC or NO depending if valve is closed to tower with no control power or open to tower with no

control power. b) If TEMP was selected for fan control above, use:

i) SP2, Set the VALVE TARGET (setpoint), usually 5 degrees F below the minimum fan stage setpoint established in TOWER SP8. This keeps full flow through the tower until the last fan is staged off.

ii) SP4, Set VALVE DEADBAND, the default of 2 degrees F is a good place to start. iii) SP8, Set MINIMUM START POSITION when EWT is at or below SP9. Default is 0%. iv) SP9, Set the EWT at which the valve position will be at (SP8). Default is 60°F. v) SP10, Set the initial valve position when EWT is at or above SP11. Default is 100%. vi) SP11, Set the EWT at which initial valve position is set to SP8. Default is 90°F. vii) SP12, Set the minimum position to which the valve can go. Default is 10%. viii) SP13, Set the maximum position to which the valve can go. Default is 90%. ix) SP14, Set the control gain for error. Default is 25. x) SP15, Set the control gain for slope. Default is 25.

NOTE: Setpoints 14 and 15 are site specific dealing with system fluid mass, component size and other factors affecting the reaction of the system to control inputs. These setpoints should be set by personnel experienced with setting up this type of control.

3) If LIFT was selected for fan control, use a) SP3, Set the VALVE TARGET (setpoint), usually 30 psi below the minimum fan stage setpoint established in

TOWER SP11. This keeps full flow through the tower until the last fan is staged off. b) SP5, Set VALVE DEADBAND, the default of 6 psi is a good place to start. c) SP8, Set MINIMUM START POSITION when EWT is at or below SP9. Default is 0%. d) SP9, Set the EWT at which the valve position will be at (SP8). Default is 60°F. e) SP10, Set the initial valve position when EWT is at or above SP11. Default 100%.

OMM 1034-4 35

f) SP11, Set the EWT at which initial valve position is set to SP8. Default is 90°F. g) SP12, Set the minimum position to which the valve can go. Default is 10%. h) SP13, Set the maximum position to which the valve can go. Default is 100%. i) SP14, Set the control gain for error. Default is 25. j) SP15, Set the control gain for slope. Default is 25.

NOTE: Setpoints 14 and 15 are site-specific dealing with system fluid mass, component size and other factors affecting the reaction of the system to control inputs. These setpoints should be set by personnel experienced with setting up this type of control.

See Figure 6 on page 17 for fan staging and bypass valve field wiring connection points.

Tower Staging with Bypass Valve Controlled by Fan Stage (VALVE STAGE) This mode is similar to #2 above except that the bypass valve setpoint changes to be set at the same point of whatever fan stage is active rather than just maintaining a single minimum condenser EWT. In this mode the valve controls between fan stages and tries to maintain the fan stage setting in effect. When it is max open or max closed (staging up or down) and the temperature (or lift) moves to the next fan stage, the valve will go the opposite extreme setting. This mode reduces fan cycling. This mode is programmed the same as Mode #2 above except that in SETPOINT, TOWER, SP2, VALVE STAGE is selected instead of VALVE SP.

Fan VFD, No Bypass Valve (VFD STAGE) The fan VFD mode assumes the tower is driven by one large fan. Set-up is as above except in SETPOINT, TOWER, SP2, VALVE/VFD is selected.

Screen explanation on following page.

OMM 1034-4 41

A matrix in the middle of the screen shows the chillers and compressors attached to the network. A green box indicates that a given controller is present and communicating. This is an effective means for verifying communication between units and compressors on the same network. SELECT LANGUAGE allows toggling between the available languages. The language can be set separately for display or history, which is used for alarm and trend files. Currently only English is available. The UNAUTHORIZE/AUTHORIZE button is used to access a keypad dialog box to enter a password.

• O= Operator password : default = 100• T = Technician level password is reserved for authorized technicians

Date/Time in the upper-right corner is pressed to set the correct date and time.

Downloading Data Trend data can be downloaded for review and storage as a personal computer file or printed as a hard copy for future reference. This is valuable for troubleshooting potential problems or reviewing the chiller’s general performance.

The last 30 days of history data can be downloaded from the controller, one day at a time.

To download history data from the chiller: 1) Install a USB memory stick into an open USB slot on the chiller controller. These slots are located on the top

and bottom of the metal bracket holding the main chiller controller (see page 10 for panel layout). (NOTE: one of these slots will have a USB cable going to J13. DO NOT UNPLUG THIS CABLE). Do not remove the main memory stick located behind the metal bracket. Thirty MB per day should be available on the USB memory stick for data accumulation. There is no warning of insufficient space.

2) Navigate to the OITS ALARM screen.3) Highlight a day on the calendar.4) Press download button. The controller will display a notification of "download complete" at the end.

To analyze downloaded data: 1. The chiller data is in binary format and must be compiled into spreadsheet format with a separate program.

Download trend"WME Trend Tool" from www.DaikinApplied.com/Magnitude on the Download tab, under Application Software.

Troubleshooting: 1) "Error mounting the USB drive". Action: Remove and reinstall USB memory stick and repeat. If problem

persists, try a different USB memory stick. Name brand memory sticks are recommended. 2) No data appears on the disk after download. Cause: no data available for that day.

Chiller Alarms Figure 25: Active Alarm Screen

The Active Alarm screen is accessible when an active alarm exists on the unit by pressing the red alarm signal on any screen. Pressing any ALARM on the screen will open another screen that will show the condition of the chiller at the time of alarm. The last eight alarms are arranged in order of occurrence, with the most recent on top. Once the abnormal condition is corrected, pressing the "CLEAR" key will clear the alarm. Both current active alarms and cleared alarms (there may be more than one of each) are displayed. Alarms with a red bar to the left are current, uncleared alarms. Cleared alarms have a black bar.

• Alarms shown in red are for equipment protection control and cause a compressor shutdown,

• Alarms shown in yellow or blue will inhibit loading, or load or unload the compressor to correct a potential problem or indicate a condition requiring attention but not serious enough to cause a shutdown.

The date/time and cause of the alarm are displayed. Pressing any alarm will open a snapshot screen showing the unit operating parameters at the time of failure. Touching the gray area of this screen will close it. After eliminating the cause of the alarm, clear the alarm by pressing the CLEAR button. This will clear the alarm from the register and allow the unit to restart after going through the start sequence. The alarm button will return to its normal color. However, if the cause of the alarm is not remedied, the alarm is still active and the alarm message will remain active. The unit will not begin its starting sequence. Always remedy the cause of an alarm before attempting to clear it.

Operating the Chiller

Interface Panel On/Off The Operator Interface Panel is turned on and off with a push-push switch located on the right side of the OITS. The screen is equipped with a screen saver that blackens the screen. Touching the screen anywhere reactivates it. If the screen is black, touch it first to be sure it is on before using the ON/OFF switch.

Start/Stop Unit There are four ways to start/stop the chiller. Three are selected in SETPOINT\MODE\SP3, the fourth way is through panel-mounted switches:

1. Operator Interface Panel (LOCAL): View screens have AUTO and STOP buttons that are only active when the unit is in "LOCAL CONTROL". This prevents the unit from being accidentally started or stopped when it is under control from a remote switch or BAS. When these buttons are pressed, the unit will cycle through its normal starting or stopping sequence.

2. Remote Switch: Selecting SWITCH in “Unit/ Control Source” (SP3) will put the unit under the control of a remote switch that must be wired into the control panel (see Figure 6 on page 17).

3. BAS: BAS input is field-wired into a card that is factory installed (can also be field installed)on the unit controller.

4. Control Panel Switches: The unit control panel, located adjacent to the Interface Panel has switches inside the panel for stopping the unit and compressor.

When the UNIT switch is placed in the OFF position the chiller will shut down through the normal shutdown sequence. The COMPRESSOR switch will immediately shut down the compressor without going through the shutdown sequence when placed in the OFF position. A third switch is mounted on the left outside of the unit controller. It performs the same function as the UNIT switch inside the panel and causes a normal shutdown.

Changing Setpoints Set points are easily changed on the Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS). A complete description of the procedure begins on page 26.

Sequence of Operation

Start-up of Magnitude Compressors: “Next On” Status If none of the “OFF” conditions are true, then all the MicroTech compressor controls in a network of units will pole the status of each to determine the one having “Next On” status, which is usually the compressor with the least starts. This takes about one minute.

Evap (Evaporator) Pump Start Once this is determined, the unit controller of the chiller with the “Next On” compressor (when there are multiple chillers) will start the evaporator pump and determine if there is load based on the water temperature. This is determined if the leaving evaporator water is above the “LWT Setpoint” plus “Startup Delta T”. If there is no load, based on the temperature, the unit is in the state of ‘Awaiting Load’.

Bearing Levitation If there is load, the unit waits for the Evaporator Recirculation Timer period (default value of 30 seconds) and then executes bearing levitation.

48 OMM 1034-4

Cond (Condenser) Pump Start After levitation is confirmed, the controller starts the Condenser Pump and checks for condenser flow before starting the first compressor.

Compressor Start The compressor starts when the following conditions are met:

1) Condenser flow present for 5-seconds (condenser state is RUN) 2) Vanes are at the start position 3) Pre-start timer expired

Starting the compressor is accomplished by closing the VFD enable relay in the compressor controller. The VFD ramps to 900 rpm for WME 500 and 700 rpm for WME 700, waits at this speed until motor synchronization occurs, then ramps up to the VFD minimum speed value.

Compressor Run The compressor that is running will signal all other compressors (including compressor on other chillers when multiple chillers are networked together) when it reaches full load. 1) Percent RLA exceeds the “Maximum Amps” setpoint (typically 100%) or the Active-Amp-Limit from an external-limiting source.

2) Evaporator (suction) Saturation pressure drops below the “Low Evap Pressure Inhibit” setpoint.

3) Actual compressor RPM is at its maximum speed capability and the vanes are within 5% of the “Maximum Vane Position” setpoint. The maximum speed capability is when it exceeds 99% of Max RPM limit for the compressor or the VFD has reached an internal limit preventing further increase in speed.

Capacity Control: During the compressor run state, the chiller will modulate to maintain the evaporator leaving water temperature at the set point. The status window will indicate the operating mode: Speed control, Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) control, or Range Extension System control. The chiller will pick the optimum capacity control mode for best efficiency.

• Speed Control: IGV is 100%, Range Extension is 0% and capacity is adjusted using compressor speed.

• IGV Control: Speed has been reduced to the minimum speed for the operating conditions and capacity is adjusted using inlet guide vanes. Range Extension Valve is set for 0%.

• Range Extension Control: Speed and IGV at their minimum for the operating conditions and the capacity is adjusted using the range extension valve. This mode provides greater unloading capability at high lift conditions.

Note: the options for capacity control mode are in High Lift Mode setpoint in the SERVICE group on the setpoint screen (technician password required). As lift and load conditions vary, the minimum speed and minimum IGV position will vary. In general, the higher the lift, the higher the minimum speed and minimum IGV position.

Staging Compressors Off: The setpoint of ‘Nominal Capacity’ is used for defining the point to stage off a compressor on a multi-chiller system. With each compressor having its ‘Nominal Capacity’ defined, then the network, which is load balanced, continues to unload when below setpoint. Each compressor keeps computing the spare capacity of the network. When the designated ‘Next Off’ sees enough spare capacity, it will turn off. Then similarly, in about 40 seconds, a new compressor will be designated as the ‘Next Off’ and the spare capacity will continue to be calculated between the remaining compressors. Compressors continue to unload and stage off until there is only one compressor running. It will shut off when the water temperature reaches the LWT Setpoint minus the Shutdown Delta T.

Staging Compressors On The Stage Delta-T setpoint is used to define when another compressor must stage on. The compressor with Next On will start when the leaving water temperature exceeds the value of the active LWT plus the Stage Delta-T.

OMM 1034-4 49

Troubleshooting

The primary troubleshooting method is to use the interface panel (OITS) to determine the alarm status, I/O status, unit state, and trend data. If this method is not successful, the next step is to determine if all controllers are present, powered up, fully booted up, and are communicating normally. All controllers have tell-tale LEDs that should be lit to determine powered-up state. Control power starts from the Intermediate Power Supply (IPS) in the VFD panel with a few exceptions. The IPS powers a variety of smaller power supplies for control power, the bearings, and most auxiliary systems. The control power for the cabinet fans, ground fault and VFD cooling solenoids comes from a control power transformer.

Troubleshooting Chart PROBLEM POSSIBLE

CAUSES/CONDITION POSSIBLE CORRECTIVE STEPS

Controls won't boot up Check state of LEDs on chiller controller, compressor controller, and VFD

controller. LEDs should be lit.

If no power Check DC voltage distribution board LEDs.

LEDs are not lit

Check IPS. Check fuses into IPS. Check small fuse on IPS PCB ( 110V). Check control power transformer.

One LED is not lit Check fuses/breakers into power supplies. If persistent, identify corresponding power supply and repair/replace.

VFD will not start

Check OITS alarms. Check control harness to VFD, enable signal, 24VDC power, rpm signal. Check VFD communication cable, Ethernet. Check VFD voltage breakout board that all LED's are lit. Check that all VFD control cables are plugged in and fully seated.

Chiller will not start Check sequence of operation. Check chiller OITS State screen to determine what state the unit is in. Check alarms.

VFD starts but shuts off on alarm Check Alarm codes.

Follow VFD troubleshooting chart. Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) alarm IGV feedback doesn't match setpoint on I/O OITS screen.

Bearing alarm During operation, Out of orbit alarm due to surge/ stall.

OITS data missing

If data is from compressor data

Verify Compressor communication present. Look for lit up green boxes in chiller controller on "SET" screen #2. If not, check Ethernet cable and that compressor controller board LEDs are lit. If yes, reboot chiller.

If data is from VFD Check communication cable. Cycle power to reset VFD controller. Verify LEDs lit on VFD controller. Check power supply.

If data from power meter Verify power meter communication cable wiring. Verify power meter configuration.

OITS data missing If data is from chiller controller Check that sensors are wired properly. Check that LEDs are lit on chiller controller. Check power supply.

Controller unhealthy alarm Verify communications cable is properly connected. Reboot chiller

Routine Maintenance Due to the magnetic bearing design, no yearly oil sampling or oil system maintenance is required. See maintenance Schedule on page 60.

Refrigerant Cycle Maintenance of the refrigerant cycle includes maintaining a log of the operating conditions, and checking that the unit has the proper refrigerant charge. At every inspection suction, and discharge pressures should be noted and recorded, as well as condenser and chiller water temperatures. The suction line temperature at the compressor should be taken at least once a month. Subtracting the saturated temperature equivalent of the suction pressure from this will give the suction superheat. Extreme changes in sub-cooling and/or superheat over a period of time indicates a losse of refrigerant or possible deterioration or malfunction of the expansion valves. Proper superheat setting is 1- 3 degrees F at full load. Such a small temperature difference can be difficult to measure accurately. Another method is to measure the compressor discharge superheat, the difference between the actual discharge temperature and the saturated discharge temperature. The discharge superheat should be between 10 and 14 degrees F at full load. The liquid injection must be deactivated (by closing the valve in the feed line) when taking the discharge temperature. The superheat will increase linearly to 55 degrees F (30 degrees C) at 10% load. The MicroTech E interface panel can display all superheat and sub-cooling temperatures.

Electrical System 1. Maintenance of the electrical system involves the general requirement of keeping contacts clean and

connections tight and checking on specific items as follows:

2. The compressor current draw should be checked and compared to nameplate RLA value. Normally, the actualcurrent will be lower, since the nameplate rating represents full load operation. Also check all pump and fanmotor amperages, and compare with nameplate ratings.

3. At least once a quarter, all equipment protection controls except compressor overloads should be made tooperate and their operating points checked. A control can shift its operating point as it ages, and this must bedetected so the controls can be adjusted or replaced. Pump interlocks and flow switches should be checked tobe sure they interrupt the control circuit when tripped.

4. Tighten all power terminal connections in the VFD quarterly.5. The compressor motor resistance to ground should be checked and logged semi-annually. This log will track

insulation deterioration. A reading of 50 megohms or less indicates a possible insulation defect or moistureand must be further checked.

! CAUTIONNever Megger a motor while in a vacuum. Severe motor damage can result.

6. The centrifugal compressor must rotate clockwise, as view from the suction side of the compressor. This can be determined by looking in the sight glass mounted on the side of the compressor. In this sight glass, the rotation will result in a downward movement.If the operator has any reason to suspect the very unlikely occurrence of the power system connections between the VFD and motor been altered (phases reversed), the compressor must be jogged to check rotation. For assistance, call your local Daikin Service location.

Cleaning and Preserving A common cause of service calls and equipment malfunction is dirt. This can be prevented with normal maintenance. The system components most subject to dirt are:

1) Remove and clean strainers in chilled water system and condenser water system at every inspection.

2) Inspect the condenser tubes annually for fouling and clean if required. The dished water heads (aka end-bells, water boxes) should be removed with care due to their weight. One method follows:

• After draining water, remove all but four head bolts at roughly 10 and 2 o’clock and 4 and 8 o’clock.• Loosen these remaining four bolts to enable the head to be separated from the tube sheet sufficiently for

a clevis pin or hook to be inserted into an open bolt hole at the top of the head.• Attach a hoist to the pin or hook, lift the head to remove weight from the remaining bolts, remove the

bolts and carefully remove the head.• Do not try to install an eyebolt with machine threads into the head vent fitting, which has pipe threads.• Reverse this procedure to mount the head, using a new gasket.

OMM 1034-4 57

Seasonal Servicing Prior to shutdown periods and before starting up again, the following service procedures must be completed.

Annual Shutdown Where the chiller can be subject to freezing temperatures, the condenser and chiller must be drained of all water. Dry air blown through the condenser will aid in forcing all water out. Removal of condenser heads is also recommended. The condenser and evaporator are not self-draining and tubes must be blown out. Water permitted to remain in the piping and vessels can rupture these parts if subjected to freezing temperature.

Forced circulation of antifreeze through the water circuits is one method of avoiding freeze up.

1) Take measures to prevent the shutoff valve in the water supply line from being accidentally turned on.

2) If a cooling tower is used, and if the water pump will be exposed to freezing temperatures, be sure to removethe pump drain plug and leave it out so any water that can accumulate will drain away.

3) Electrically disconnect the compressor. Set the manual UNIT ON/OFF switch in the Unit Control Panel to theOFF position.

4) Check for corrosion and clean and paint rusted surfaces.

5) Clean and flush water tower for all units operating on a water tower. Make sure tower blowdown or bleed-off is operating. Set up and use a good maintenance program to prevent “liming up” of both tower and condenser. It should be recognized that atmospheric air contains many contaminants that increase the need for proper water treatment. The use of untreated water can result in corrosion, erosion, sliming, scaling or algae formation. It is recommended that the service of a reliable water treatment company be used. Daikin assumes no responsibility for the results of untreated or improperly treated water.

6) Remove condenser heads at least once a year to inspect the condenser tubes and clean if required.

Annual Startup This is a good time to check all the motor winding resistance to ground. Semi-annual checking and recording of this resistance will provide a record of any deterioration (this would be unusual) of the winding insulation. All new units have well over 100 megohms resistance between any motor terminal and ground.

Whenever great discrepancies in readings occur, or uniform readings of less than 50 megohms are obtained, the motor cover must be removed for inspection of the winding prior to starting the unit. Uniform readings of less than 5 megohms indicate motor failure is imminent and the motor should be replaced or repaired. Repair before failure occurs can save a great deal of time and labor spent in the cleanup of a system after a motor burnout.

1) Check and tighten all electrical connections.2) Replace the drain plug in the cooling tower pump if it was removed at shutdown time the previous season.3) Reconnect water lines and turn on supply water. Flush condenser and check for leaks.

Repair of System Pressure Relief Valve Replacement Current condenser designs use two relief valves separated by a three-way shutoff valve (one set). This three-way valve allows either relief valve to be shut off, but at no time can both be shut off. In the event one of the relief valves is leaking in the two valve set, these procedures must be followed: • If the valve closest to the valve stem is leaking, back seat the three-way valve all the way, closing the port to the

leaking pressure relief valve. Remove and replace the faulty relief valve. The three-way shutoff valve must remain either fully back seated or fully forward to normal operation. If the relief valve farthest from the valve stem is leaking, front seat the three-way valve and replace the relief valve as stated above.

• The refrigerant must be pumped down into the condenser before the evaporator relief valve can be removed.

58 OMM 1034-4

Pumping Down If it becomes necessary to pump the system down, extreme care must be used to avoid damage to the evaporator from freezing. Always make sure that full water flow is maintained through the chiller and condenser while pumping down. To pump the system down, close all liquid line valves. With all liquid line valves closed and water flowing, start the compressor. Pump the unit down until the MicroTech E controller cuts out at approximately 20 psig. It is possible that the unit might experience a mild surge condition prior to cutout. If this should occur, immediately shut off the compressor. Use a portable condensing unit to complete the pump down, condense the refrigerant, and pump it into the condenser or pumpout vessel using approved procedures. A pressure regulating valve must always be used on the drum being used to build the system pressure. Also, do not exceed the test pressure given above. When the test pressure is reached disconnect the gas cylinder. Pressure Testing No pressure testing is necessary unless some damage was incurred during shipment. Damage can be determined upon a visual inspection of the exterior piping, checking that no breakage occurred or fittings loosened. Service gauges should show a positive pressure. If no pressure is evident on the gauges, a leak may have occurred, discharging the entire refrigerant charge. In this case, the unit must be leak tested to determine the location of the leak. Leak Testing In the extremely rare case of a loss of the entire refrigerant charge, the unit must be checked for leaks prior to charging the complete system. This can be done by charging enough refrigerant into the system to build the pressure up to approximately 10 psig (69 kPa) and adding sufficient dry nitrogen to bring the pressure up to a maximum of 125 psig (860 kPa). Leak test with an electronic leak detector. Halide leak detectors do not function with HFC-134a. Water flow through the vessels must be maintained anytime refrigerant is added or removed from the system.

! DANGERDo not use oxygen or a mixture of R-22 and air to build up pressure, as an explosion can occur which will cause serious

personal injury or death.

If any leaks are found in welded or brazed joints, or it is necessary to replace a gasket, relieve the test pressure in the system before proceeding. Brazing is required for copper joints. After making any necessary repair, the system must be evacuated as described in the following section.

Evacuation After it has been determined that there are no refrigerant leaks, the system must be evacuated using a vacuum pump with a capacity that will reduce the vacuum to at least 1000 microns of mercury. A mercury manometer, or an electronic or other type of micron gauge, must be connected at the farthest point from the vacuum pump. For readings below 1000 microns, an electronic or other micron gauge must be used. The triple evacuation method is recommended and is particularly helpful if the vacuum pump is unable to obtain the desired 1 millimeter of vacuum. The system is first evacuated to approximately 29 inches of mercury. Dry nitrogen is then added to the system to bring the pressure up to zero pounds. Then the system is once again evacuated to approximately 29 inches of mercury. This is repeated three times. The first pull-down will remove about 90% of the non-condensables, the second about 90% of that remaining from the first pull-down and, after the third only 1/10-1% non-condensables will remain.

Charging the System Model WME water chillers are leak tested at the factory and shipped with the correct charge of refrigerant as indicated on the unit nameplate. In the unusual event that the refrigerant charge is lost for any reason, the system should be charged as follows after first repairing any leaks that are found and evacuating the system.

1) Connect the refrigerant drum to the gauge port on the liquid line shutoff valve and purge the charging linebetween the refrigerant cylinder and the valve. Then open the valve to the mid-position.

2) Turn on the cooling tower water pump and chilled water pump and allow water to circulate through thecondenser and the chiller. (It will be necessary to manually close the condenser pump starter.)

OMM 1034-4 59

3) If the system is under a vacuum, stand the refrigerant drum with the connection up, and open the drum andbreak the vacuum with refrigerant gas to a saturated pressure above freezing.

4) With a system gas pressure higher than the equivalent of a freezing temperature, invert the charging cylinderand elevate the drum above the condenser. With the drum in this position, valves open, water pumps operating,liquid refrigerant will flow into the condenser. Approximately 75% of the total requirement estimated for theunit can be charged in this manner.

5) After 75% of the required charge has entered the condenser, reconnect the refrigerant drum and charging lineto the service valve on the bottom of the evaporator. Again purge the connecting line, stand the drum with theconnection up, and place the service valve in the open position.

IMPORTANT: At this point, the charging procedure should be interrupted and prestart checks made before attempting to complete refrigerant charge. The compressor must not be started at this time. (Preliminary check must first be completed.)

IMPORTANT: It is of utmost importance that all local, national, and international regulations concerning the handling and emission of refrigerants are observed.

Notes on Heat Exchangers: 1) Approach temperature (the difference between the leaving water temperature and the saturated refrigerant

temperature) of either the condenser or evaporator is a good indication of tube fouling, particularly in the condenser, where constant flow usually prevails. Daikin's high efficiency heat exchangers have very low design approach temperatures, in the order of one to one and one-half degrees F.

2) The chiller interface touch screen can display the water and the saturated refrigerant temperatures. Simplesubtraction will give the approach temperature, which is a vital indicator of the evaporator and condenser heattransfer efficiency. It is recommended that benchmark readings (including condenser pressure drop to confirmfuture flow rates) be taken during startup and then periodically afterward. An approach increase of two-degrees ormore would indicate that excessive tube fouling could be present. Higher than normal discharge pressure and motorcurrent are also good indicators

3) Evaporators in closed fluid circuits with treated water or anti-freeze are not normally subject to fouling, however itis prudent to check the approach temperature periodically.

4) Performed when contracted for, not part of standard initial warranty service.
