Chiller Optimizer
I. General Description
The Chiller Optimizer (CO) is a third generation control instrument continuously marketed by Energy Optimization since 1980. It is a selff-contained solid state dedicated microprocessor system, specifically designed to reduce the energy consumption of centrifugal, screw, reciprocating or absorption chiller systems. It is capable of operating a single chiller or multiple (up to eight) chillers in switchable leadlag sequence. The CO may be used as a stand-alone control or it can be interfaced with timers, load controllers, or central computer systems through the remote contact points. The main features of the CO are: SOFT START The controller soft starts the chiller compressor(s) at the lowest practical capacity level. This "soft" start saves money in two ways: (1) it significantly reduces the electrical peak demand produced each time a compressor is started, overshooting the correct capacity level at start-up. Soft start does not impact supply and return inrush, which is frequently not charged, to the customer by the utility company. SOFT/VARIABLE LOAD After the soft start , the CO uses a variable soft load. This means that the chiller is gradually brought up to match the building load, faster during the warmer months and after shutdowns and slower during cooler months. This is accomplished by having a variable step size that automatically adjusts from 2% to 10% of FLA depending on the requirements of the system. TEMPERATURE RESET Most chillers produce a constant temperature chilled water supply temperature year-round. While a user may occasionally reset this temperature, it does require extra effort and is not generally done. Our ELECTRA program monitors outside air temperature and chilled water return temperature, using these parameters to adjust chiller loading at optimum setting. Allowing an increase of 1F in chilled water temperature results in about a 2% to 4% savings in energy costs. During cooler weather, an increase of 6 degrees will result in a 12% to 24% cost savings. That's significant! And that's why the Chiller Optimizer has been designed to continuously and precisely adjust the water temperature to match current demand conditions.

I. General Description, contd

LOW LOAD SHUT-DOWN SEQUENCE During periods when the demand for cooling is low, as at night, a chiller system will reduce its capacity to a point where its operation is very inefficient (from 3 or 4 times the power per ton in constant speed systems). Additionally, operation at low loads frequently causes higher motor winding and bearing temperatures, and possibly compressor surging. To avoid this problem, when the chiller reaches its programmed minimum capacity level and the chilled water temperature is below the target by more than the programmed offset, the CO controller initiates this sequence: The low load timer starts, allowing the chiller to operate at minimum for that time. If the time expires, and the water temperature is still below the target temperature, the chiller is shut down, and will remain off for at least as long as the "TIME @ MIN" setting. If the demand for cooling does return within the time period allowed, then the "TIME @ MIN" is reset, and the sequence is ready to start again if minimum load is perceived. If the chiller does get shut down, a subsequent increase in demand will re-start the chiller, it will soft-start and soft-load in the normal manner. The net result is that the CO low load cycle saves energy by operating the compressor at more favorable efficiency levels and by reducing unnecessary compressor cycling. AIR TEMPERATURE LOCKOUT The CO can be programmed to monitor outside air temperature and hold the chiller system off as long as the outside air temperature is colder than certain user programmable set points. LAG CHILLER OPERATION When the CO determines that a chiller should be started, it always calls the first chiller (lead chiller) in the preprogrammed sequence. When the lead chiller is not sufficient to satisfy the load, the lag chiller(s) are called. The CO controller starts the lag chiller(s) when the lead chiller reaches a user programmed threshold set point, between 75% and 100% capacity. to satisfy cooling requirements. The lag chiller is soft started, when the RTL signal is received, the CO regulates the capacities of both chillers, reducing the loading of the lead chiller by the amount of loading on the lag chiller. The chiller loading is proportional to their full scale capacities.
Instruction Manual
Energy Optimization
Chiller Optimizer

When the lead chiller can once again satisfy cooling requirements and lag chiller operation is no longer efficient, the controller shuts down the lag chiller and Increases the capacity of the lead chiller to replace the lag chiller capacity that was removed. The lag chiller shut down is initiated by the "LOW LOAD OFFCYCLE" sequence described above. If the chillers have approximately the same capacity, they are loaded evenly. If they have different capacities, they are loaded proportionally. (The full load capacity of each chiller is entered in the CCU Configuration tables). LOAD SHEDDING The CO has the capability to receive an external load shedding signal from a load controller to reduce the electric energy usage of the chiller. The CO will decrease chiller capacity by 10% per minute until the signal is terminated or until the "minimum operation %" level is reached. Routine capacity adjustments resume when the load shed signal is terminated. Some operations may require lag chiller lockout rather than load shedding, the same terminals are used for either, the programmed entry in the MCU Setup determines which operation occurs at contact closure. (It is not necessary to use either.) ADDITIONAL COOLING CAPACITY Humidity monitors, critical temperature thermostats, or similar devices can be used to request the CO to increase cooling capacity. When an additional cooling signal is received, the controller will lower the return water set point temperature by 3 F, thereby requiring increased loading on the chiller. The system water temperature will be returned to normal when the signal is terminated. CONTROL SAFETIES The CO will allow the control panel of the chiller to protect the system if any of the safeties are violated. RECIPROCATING CONTROL (SERIES R) Capacity controls of reciprocating compressors may be accomplished in several ways, but all involve some method of bypassing a stage. This may be accomplished by holding the inlet valve open, or opening a "side pocket" that considerably increases the volume of the cylinder as well as dumping the slightly compressed gas back into the cylinder on the intake stroke.
Instruction Manual
Energy Optimization
Chiller Optimizer

Any of these methods are initiated by relays in the controller. The Chiller Optimizer offers up to 12 Solid State Relays (SSRs) for unloader control. A dedicated Chiller Control Interface Board (CCU) replaces the centrifugal CCU and all other features of the ELECTRA software are incorporated in the Series-R reciprocating chiller CO when so configured. Note: In later model recip or screw chillers, interface cards to accept 4-20 mA or PWM remote signals are available. The CCU is setup to output these signals for capacity control.
The front control panel of the CO consists of a numeric touch pad with UP/DOWN buttons along with four special function buttons: Mode, Display, Enter & Bypass. A dual line backlighted LCD display is also featured. The Mode button is used to START/STOP the lead chiller, enter the Basic Set-up variables and (with a passcode) to enter the Extended Set-up. The Extended Set-up tables are usually accessed by a qualified technician when the system is first set up. There are certain parameters that the operator may enter without a passcode. These are called the Basic Set-up and are accessed by pressing the Mode button twice. A selection is made with the UP/DOWN buttons. Explanation of these entries follows with a complete listing of all entries.

II. Operational Modes

There are three basic operational modes of the Chiller Optimizer:
A. The Display Function entered by pressing the Display button. B. The Data Entry Function entered by pressing the
Mode
button
C. The Optimizer Bypass Function entered by pressing the Bypass button button .
Pressing Mode once brings a prompt to Press Enter to Start or Stop Chiller. Pressing Mode again ignores this prompt and proceeds to the next prompt of Basic Setup on the top line and the variable to edit on the bottom line. A different variable may be selected with the UP/DOWN buttons. Pressing Enter shows the numeric value of the variable. The operator choices are: BASE RETURN WATER TEMPERATURE The desirable return water temperature is set by this control. This water temperature will be maintained only when the outside air temperature is equal to the base outside air temperature set point. When the outside air temperature exceeds the base, return water base temperature is reduced by a preset ratio (see below). Conversely, when air temperature goes down, the water temperature set-point is increased. Return water settings usually range between 50F to 60F. For system diagnostic or service purposes, the water temperature set point may temporarily be set higher or lower to cause capacity to increase or decrease depending on the needs of the service personnel. BASE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE This is the set point at which the CO will maintain the base return water temperature. The coldest water temperature will be provided when the actual outside temperature exceeds this point. In general, this setting should be within a few degrees of the highest summer temperature. Typical settings are from 90F to 100F.

II. Operational Modes, contd

There are three basic operational modes of the Chiller Optimizer:
AIR/RETURN WATER RESET RATIO (CONSERVATION RATIO) This control sets the degrees per degree change in the return water temperature set point with regard to outside air temperature. For a ratio of 10, a 10 change in outside air temperature from the base will result in 1.0F change in water temperature. A more aggressive setting will be 20.0 where a 10 degF change in outside air will change the water target temperature by 2.0 degF. If water temperature reset from outside air variations is not desired, the conservation ratio should be set to 0.0. SCAN TIME The Scan time is set to match the reaction time of the system. It governs the rate at which chiller capacity changes are made when needed. The time should be set to the number of minutes that it takes for water to leave the chiller, be pumped through the building, and return to the chiller. The adjustment rate setting is typically 4 to 6 minutes on average systems, 8 to 12 minutes on large central plants. MIN. CAPACITY TIME This control prevents the chiller system from short-cycling during low demand conditions. The chiller system will be held at the minimum load for this time, preventing it from cycling on and off. LEAD/LAG OPTIONS There are five choices of lead/lag selections explained in detail in the Data Entry section

Demand Period is the time period the electric utility uses to define rate of energy use. The KW-HRs accumulated during this period determine the rate at which the user is using electricity. It is defined as KW demand or KVA demand. This period is typically either 15 minutes, 30 minutes or one hour (900, 1800 or 3600 seconds respectively) as defined by the contract with the local utility or energy provider. The contract with the utility calls for a maximum monthly KW demand which, if exceeded during any one demand period during the month, may impose surcharges and/or increased cost per KW-HR in the final bill. A separate KW-HR transducer is recommended producing one pulse per KW-HR and installed in the main feed line metered by the utility.

CHILLER OPTIMIZER INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

THE HARDWARE SYSTEM The minimum hardware required for a Chiller Optimizer system is a Master Cabinet (MCU) containing: (1) FX-680 Main Processor Board with keypad and two-line LCD display. (1) FX-681 Master Power Supply Board converting line voltage (110 or 220 vac) to 24 and 5 vdc. In addition, this board conditions the analog inputs (temperatures, etc.) and all the system digital inputs. (1) FX-689 Modem Board. (1) FX-684 Chiller Interface Board. For centrifugal chillers, up to three of these boards may be housed within the MCU cabinet controlling up to three centrifugal chillers. For additional chillers in the system, up to five may be added (remotely mounted) communicating with the MCU via an RS-485 Modbus. Different interface boards are used for reciprocating type chillers (unless they use remote reset interface boards) although the MCU remains the same.

DIRECT VANE RELAY CONTROL

The chiller is turned on or off by an interlock relay. The capacity of the chiller is regulated by Chiller Optimizer using two relays, one for increasing capacity and another for decreasing capacity. An AC voltage signal from a current transformer or a 4-20 mA dc signal from a KW transducer are used to monitor chiller capacity. When the capacity increase relay is energized, an actuator motor or another control increases chiller output. When the capacity decrease relay is energized, an actuator motor or other control decreases chiller output. The relay control method is used for centrifugal chiller systems with electric actuator motor controlled vane angle and for screw compressor chiller systems with hydraulic solenoid regulated capacity. ANALOG CONTROL The chiller is turned on or off by an interlock relay. The capacity of the chiller is regulated by Chiller Optimizer with a 4-20 milliamp signal output. The analog signal output may be used in several ways to control the capacity of the chiller: a. The 4-20 mA signal may drive analog input guide vane positioners, electric or pneumatic. If pneumatic, an external I/P or current-to-pneumatic transducer must be used externally to convert the mA to pneumatic pressure. This control method is used for centrifugal chiller systems with pneumatically controlled vane angle and for absorption chillers with pneumatically controlled steam or hot water valves. b. If an interface card is available in the chiller control panel, the 4-20 mA signal may be used to control the load limit and/or the leaving chilled water temperature of the chiller. The appropriate settings must be made on the chiller control panel.
PWM CONTROL Some chillers (specifically those maufactured by York ) will accept a Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) remote signal to modulate the current demand limit or offset the leaving water temperature set-point. A special software code is made available in the optimizer to accommodate such an interface. The INCREASE relay is used for the PWM signal output of the optimizer. SUMMARY OF INSTALLATION Chiller Optimizer Millennium Series may be installed using any combination of the two control methods described above. Up to three relay control chillers (chillers 0, 1 & 2) may be controlled by the Master Control Unit (MCU). Up to five additional chillers may be controlled external to the MCU for a total of eight chillers in a system. Control method or type of chiller tied to the MCU bus may be different but they all share the same temperature signals. Each chiller however, has its own interface control module and its own CT or KW load signal terminated to this control module.
Appendix A
CHILLER PREPARATION
Prior to the installation of Chiller Optimizer, the installer should verify the correct functioning of the chiller system. The check should include chiller controls and safeties. The calibrations of the load limit control circuit and the pilot positioner should be checked and, if required, accurately calibrated as prescribed by the chiller manufacturer.
General Dimensions of the Master Control Unit
Appendix A
CHILLER OPTIMIZER INSTALLATION DETAILS

CONTROLLER MOUNTING A typical Chiller Optimizer Millennium Series will consist of only one cabinet with up to three centrifugal chiller control cards inside. If more than three chillers are to be optimized, the control cards for the additional chillers will be mounted inside separate boxes and close to their respective chillers. The remote optimizers communicate with the master cabinet via an RS-485 Modbus communication link (two wires and a shield). The Chiller Optimizer MS is suitable for both indoor and outdoor surface mounting although it is typically mounted in a chiller room. The cabinet is rated NEMA 4X however with its fiberglass, corrosion resistant outer shell and a clear acrylic front window. Select a suitable location, such as on a wall or mounting board. The selected location should be dry, lighted, and easily accessible. Locations of extreme vibration, moisture, or heat must be avoided. Mark and drill the pilot holes for mounting screws. (see Dimension Drawing for mounting dimensions). Fasten Chiller Optimizer to the surface area by means of the slot holes in the accessory ears of FIELD WIRING Access to field wiring terminals is gained by unlocking and opening the aluminum control panel. All field wiring terminals are plug-in type and do not require any special lugs or tools. Field wiring is simply terminated by stripping the end of the wire and inserting it into its assigned terminal. There are no holes pre-drilled in the cabinet. The installer may drill the conduit holes in any one of the four sides of the cabinet. The bottom of the cabinet is the side of choice to prevent condensation from entering the cabinet. A minimum of three conduits should be brought to the cabinet: One (or two) conduits should be used to bring in all the low power signal wires from the temperature and KW transmitters. Another conduit should be used for all remote command dry contracts or 24vdc powered signals. A separate conduit should be used for AC power and Chiller RTL, INCR/DECR and INTLK wires. Refer to the external wiring schedule below for correct termination of the field wiring. All field wiring terminates on two boards mounted on the back plate inside the MCU. The FX-684 is the chiller specific board (one per chiller) while the common system signals (all temperatures and remote commands) terminate on the Master Power Supply board (FX-681). Wiring should be done with U.L. approved 600 volt 18-gage or 16-gauge stranded wire. Insulated spade connectors (furnished) should be used for connecting power (110/220 VAC) to the EMI filter directly as marked. All electrical connections to Chiller Optimizer must be from a single-phase electrical power supply with a good earth ground. The FX-684 is a termination board for a centrifugal chiller. It is connected to the P.S./Interface Board from where it receives its power and interfaces to the microprocessor Mother Board.
Appendix A
There is an FX-684 board for each centrifugal chiller in the system. Up to (3) FX-684s may be housed inside the Master Control Unit (MCU) each controlling a separate chiller. For more than (3) chillers in the system, additional FX-684s are mounted in separate Chiller Control slave boxes with their own Power Supply and micro-processor boards. These communicate with the MCU via a local Modbus RS-485 network. Each of the FX-684s has provisions for the following input/outputs: 1. (1) AC Input in the 0-10VAC range proportional to CT Load, or dc input in the 4-20 mA range 2. (1) 120/240VAC or 24vdc (jumper selectable) Ready-to-Load input 3. (1) Analog Control Output in the 4-20 mA range 4. (1) Interlock SPST, 5A contact (Chiller START) 5. (1) Increase SPST, 5A contact (Chiller LOAD) 6. (1) Decrease SPST, 5A contact (Chiller UNLOAD) 7.

(2) +24vdc internal power supply terminals for use in powering the 4-20 mA loops All relay contacts may be set via jumper selection as Normally Open (Dir) or Normally Closed (Rev). Following are wiring pictorials of the two types of boards found in a typical 3-chiller centrifugal system.

REVERSE selection is normally used for these relays. 2. Rev. B has a 4-20 mA repeater built-in when R6 resistor is in place. When R6 is removed, it becomes a 1-5v to 4-20 mA converter. R6 is on pin jacks so it can be removed without desoldering. 3. Rev. B accepts only analog CT Load signals. The CT Load signal typically comes from the 2wire KW Transmitter and wired as shown below. Externally powered KW signals use + and input terminals (21 & 22).

If desired, a relay may be installed in the line supply leg to Chiller Optimizer to start or stop system operation. The relay may be controlled by timers, load controllers, central computer systems, or safety shut-off devices CONTROLLER CHASSIS GROUND Connect a separate dedicated ground wire from solid earth ground to terminal GND. Terminal GND goes directly to chassis ground through the EMI filter. A high quality ground connection to this terminal is required. Do not depend on conduit for grounding.
TEMPERATURE SENSORS The three temperature sensors provided with the Chiller Optimizer unit are identical in operation. They are all Platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) with 100.0 Ohm base resistance. The only difference is that the water sensors are stick-on type to be installed directly on the chilled water pipes and the air sensor is a probe type mounted in the end fitting of a j-box with its 4-20 mA transmitter inside. Although the transmitters (OCi-5300RTD) are pre-calibrated and marked with the temperature range, finer tuning may be done in the software. TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION The effectiveness of the Chiller Optimizer in maintaining user comfort AND saving energy depends on correct temperature sensor location. A temperature sensor on the return water line is required, as this is the control point. A second sensor typically monitors the outside air temperature and a third one the supply or chiller leaving water temperature. SENSOR MOUNTING & WIRING Mounting and wiring instructions for various sensor locations are given below. Each temperature sensor is furnished with a 4-20 mA transmitter. The transmitter is used to amplify the low level signal of the sensor and send a higher level signal to the optimizer without being affected by the wire length. A two-conductor shielded, twisted cable is recommended but the use of two-conductor solid 18-gauge thermostat wire is permitted. If the sensor wiring is run outside the building, it should be placed under eaves or in well shaded areas. Conduit is not required for sensor wiring, but it is recommended.

Appendix A
AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR The use of an outside air temperature sensor is recommended but optional. If the sensor is not used, the Optimizer should be so programmed (see appropriate Data Entry) and the sensor need not be installed. The correct location of an outside air temperature sensor, if used, is very critical. It should be located in an area of stable air that truly reflects the typical outside ambient air temperature. The best location for the sensor is usually high in the center of a north-facing masonry wall. Mounting locations that would expose the sensor to abnormal heat loads must be avoided. Avoid the following locations: 1. in direct sunlight 2. in metal walls 3. close to power transformers, pumps, water pipes, or machinery 4. near cooling towers, intake or exhaust vents, or other draft-producing equipment 5. over parking areas 6. where there is a possibility that the sensor could be unduly affected by ice or snow accumulations. In addition, the sensor should be located high enough to preclude tampering. The air sensor furnished with the Optimizer is an RTD platinum probe mounted through a cordgrip fitting on one end of a j-box. The OCi-5300RTD 4-20 mA transmitter is mounted inside the j-box and factory prewired to the sensor. Two output wires (4-20 mA signal) must be connected by the installer and terminated at the Master Power Supply Board (FX-681). The use of 18-22 g. shielded wire is recommended. The shield is connected to the 24vdc terminal. WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR Select a water sensor mounting location on a straight run of return water pipe that is heavily insulated on both sides of the proposed sensor location. On lead-lag installations, the return water sensor location must be common to all chillers. One of the two mounting options described below should be used to mount the return water temperature sensor. SENSOR SURFACE MOUNTED ON WATER PIPE -- Using emery or sandpaper, thoroughly clean an area about two inches square on the pipe. All rust and other particulate contaminants must be removed to provide a smooth contact area. Put a generous amount of heat conductive compound (Honeywell Tradeline brand, part number 107408) on the flat surface of the sensor and on the center of the contact area. Use high temperature cable ties to fasten the adhesive side of the sensor tightly to the pipe. Restore the insulation removed from around the pipe to mount the sensor. Proper insulation in this area is required for proper operation of the Optimizer. It has been shown that properly installed sensors will measure the chilled water temperature to within one degree or better. 12
Appendix A
SENSOR MOUNTED IN THERMOMETER WELL -- Prepare a thermometer well in the water pipe. Partially fill the well with heat conductive compound (Honeywell Tradeline brand, part number 107408). Press temperature sensor deep into well and into heat conductive compound. Cap thermometer well opening. Install the OCi-5300RTD transmitters within 5 feet of the sensors in any electrical j-box. The transmitters are only 2x0.75x0.5 and they have a double-stick tape at the bottom. Connect the three like colored wires from the sensor to the transmitter using small wire nuts. The black (+) and orange (-) wires are the 4-20 mA signal which connect to the MCU. STATUS SIGNAL INPUTS READY TO LOAD Each time a chiller is started, Chiller Optimizer must receive the "ready-to- load" or RTL signal from the chiller before the RTL timer times out. This indicates the chiller has started and made transition from its start to its run windings. The RTL timer, a 45 second fixed software timer, starts at time of chiller start. If RTL signal is present when the timer times out, the chiller is loaded to start-up capacity. If the RTL signal is received after the RTL times out, the chiller is loaded immediately. If the RTL is not received within a maximum of 10 minutes, the Optimizer fails the chiller and places it in bypass. A manual intervention is required to bring it back to optimizer control. The RTL signal from the chiller is typically 120 vac or 220 vac, the Optimtizer input is optically isolated. A jumper is used to reduce the current limiting resistor in series with the led of the opto-isolator if the RTL signal is 24 vac or dc. Follow the polarity if dc. The RTL signal is wired to the Chiller Control Unit (CCU) board for each chiller. CAUTION: The jumper must be removed if the RTL signal is 110/220 vac or the resistor and/or the opto-isolator will be damaged. KWH DEMAND INPUT This is another optically isolated pulse input located in the MCU Power Supply board. It is designed to accept pulses from a building KWH meter with a typical 1.0 KWH/pulse. This input is utilized in conjunction with Maximum Demand limits and automatic load shedding if so programmed. USER OPTION SIGNALS Chiller Optimizer has four pairs of terminals on the Master Power Supply board (FX681) that are used to receive dry contact or 24vdc signals activating program options. The program options are "remote start", "load shed", "additional cooling and remote bypass. Again, these are optically isolated inputs with current limiting resistors sized for 24vdc power. If dry contacts, the system 24vdc power may be used. Refer to field wiring for more details.
13
Appendix A
Remote Start -- Any remote command from a switch or a building automation computer system may enable or disable the Chiller Optimizer if it is so programmed. (See RTS programming details) Load Shed/Lag Chiller Lockout A 24vdc signal provided to these terminals will cause the Chiller Optimizer to decrease lead and lag chiller capacity by 10% per minute until the signal is terminated or until the "minimum operation %" level is reached. Additional Cooling -- The "additional cooling," signal will cause Chiller Optimizer to lower its target temperature by 3. This change affects both the lead and lag chillers. A target temperature 3 lower than normal will be maintained until the additional cooling signal is terminated. The signal can be sent by a humidistat, a thermostat, or a manual switch. Remote Bypass The remote bypass input places all chillers in Optimizer Bypass mode. Note that if a chiller is configured for remote start from its individual control panel, placing it in optimizer bypass will enable its remote start.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Chiller Optimizer (CO) is a third generation control instrument continuously marketed by Energy Optimization since 1980. It is a selff-contained solid state dedicated microprocessor system, specifically designed to reduce the energy consumption of centrifugal, screw, reciprocating or absorption chiller systems. It is capable of operating a single chiller or multiple (up to eight) chillers in switchable lead-lag sequence. The CO may be used as a stand-alone control or it can be interfaced with timers, load controllers, or central computer systems through the remote contact points. The main features of the CO are: SOFT START The controller soft starts the chiller compressor(s) at the lowest practical capacity level. This "soft" start saves money in two ways: (1) it significantly reduces the electrical peak demand produced each time a compressor is started, overshooting the correct capacity level at start-up. Soft start does not impact supply and return inrush, which is frequently not charged, to the customer by the utility company. SOFT/VARIABLE LOAD After the soft start , the CO uses a variable soft load. This means that the chiller is gradually brought up to match the building load, faster during the warmer months and after shutdowns and slower during cooler months. This is accomplished by having a variable step size that automatically adjusts from 2% to 10% of FLA depending on the requirements of the system. TEMPERATURE RESET Most chillers produce a constant temperature chilled water supply temperature year-round. While a user may occasionally reset this temperature, it does require extra effort and is not generally done. The ELECTRA program monitors outside air temperature and chilled water return temperature, using these parameters to adjust chiller loading at optimum setting. Allowing an increase of 1F in chilled water temperature results in about a 1.5% to 2% savings in energy costs. During cooler weather, an increase of 6 degrees will result in a 9% to 12% cost savings. That's significant! And that's why the Chiller Optimizer II has been designed to continuously and precisely adjust the water temperature to match current conditions. LOW LOAD SHUT-DOWN SEQUENCE During periods when the demand for cooling is low, as at night, a chiller system will reduce its capacity to a point where its operation is very inefficient (from 3 or 4 times the power per ton in constant speed systems). Additionally, operation at
Appendix B

low loads frequently causes higher motor winding and bearing temperatures, and possibly compressor surging.
I.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION, cont
To avoid this problem, when the chiller reaches its programmed minimum capacity level AND the chilled water temperature is below the target by more than the programmed offset, the CO controller initiates this sequence: The low load timer starts, allowing the chiller to operate at minimum for that time. If the time expires, and the water temperature is still below the target temperature, the chiller is shut down, and will remain off for at least as long as the "TIME @ MIN" setting. If the demand for cooling does return within the time period allowed, then the "TIME @ MIN" is reset, and the sequence is ready to start again if minimum load is perceived. If the chiller does get shut down, a subsequent increase in demand will re-start the chiller, it will soft-start and soft-load in the normal manner. The net result is that the CO low load cycle saves energy by operating the compressor at more favorable efficiency levels and by reducing unnecessary compressor cycling. AIR TEMPERATURE LOCKOUT The CO can be programmed to monitor outside air temperature and hold the chiller system off as long as the outside air temperature is colder than certain user programmable set points. LAG CHILLER OPERATION When a system has two chillers, a front panel switch sets the assignment of which is lead and which is lag. This switch is effective only when the program selection is "local". If it is desired to have a chiller running when the controller wants it off, press the Bypass button to "BYPASS" the particular chiller from the optimizer. The chiller may then be controlled from the chiller control panel. The CO controller starts the lag chiller(s) when the lead chiller reaches a user programmed threshold set point, between 75% and 100% capacity. to satisfy cooling requirements. The lag chiller is soft started, when the RTL signal is received, the CO regulates the capacities of both chillers, reducing the loading of the lead chiller by the amount of loading on the lag chiller. The chiller loading is proportional to their full scale capacities. When the lead chiller can once again satisfy cooling requirements and lag chiller operation is no longer efficient, the controller shuts down the lag chiller and increases the capacity of the lead chiller to replace the lag chiller capacity that was removed. The lag chiller shut down is initiated by the "LOW LOAD OFF-CYCLE" sequence described above. If the chillers have approximately the same capacity, they are loaded evenly. If they have different capacities, they are loaded proportionally. (The full load capacity of each chiller is entered in the CCU Configuration tables). 4

I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION, cont
LOAD SHEDDING The CO has the capability to receive an external load shedding signal from a load controller to reduce the electric energy usage of the chiller. The CO will decrease chiller capacity by 10% per minute until the signal is terminated or until the "minimum operation %" level is reached. Routine capacity adjustments resume when the load shed signal is terminated. Some operations may require lag chiller lockout rather than load shedding, the same terminals are used for either, the programmed entry in the MCU Setup determines which operation occurs at contact closure. (It is not necessary to use either.)
Appendix B

I.
ADDITIONAL COOLING CAPACITY Humidity monitors, critical temperature thermostats, or similar devices can be used to request the CO to increase cooling capacity. When an additional cooling signal is received, the controller will lower the return water set point temperature by 3 F, thereby requiring increased loading on the chiller. The system water temperature will be returned to normal when the signal is terminated. CONTROL SAFETIES The CO will allow the control panel of the chiller to protect the system if any of the safeties are violated. RECIPROCATING CONTROL Capacity controls of reciprocating compressors may be accomplished in several ways, but all involve some method of bypassing a stage. This may be accomplished by holding the inlet valve open, or opening a "side pocket" that considerably increases the volume of the cylinder as well as dumping the slightly compressed gas back into the cylinder on the intake stroke. Any of these methods are initiated by relays in the controller. The Chiller Optimizer offers up to 12 Solid State Relays (SSRs) for unloader control. A dedicated Chiller Control Interface Board (CCU) replaces the centrifugal CCU and all other features of the ELECTRA software are incorporated in the Series-R reciprocating chiller CO when so configured. BASIC SET-UP BY OPERATOR The front control panel of the CO consists of a numeric touch pad with UP/DOWN buttons along with four special function buttons: Mode, Display, Enter & Bypass. A dual line backlighted LCD display is also featured. The Mode button is used to START/STOP the lead chiller, enter the Basic Set-up variables and (with a passcode) to enter the Extended Set-up. The Extended Set-up tables are usually accessed by a qualified technician when the system is first set up. There are certain parameters that the operator may enter without a passcode. These are called the Basic Set-up and are accessed by pressing the Mode button twice. A selection is made with the UP/DOWN buttons. Explanation of these entries follows while complete listing of all entries is found in the Data Entry section. 6

Pressing Mode once brings a prompt to Press Enter to Start or Stop Chiller. Pressing Mode again ignores this prompt and proceeds to the next prompt of Basic Setup on the top line and the variable to edit on the bottom line. A different variable may be selected with the UP/DOWN buttons. Pressing Enter shows the numeric value of the variable. The operator choices are: BASE RETURN WATER TEMPERATURE The absolute minimum allowable return water temperature is set by this control. This water temperature will be maintained only when the outside air temperature exceeds the base outside air temperature set point. Return water settings usually range between 54F to 60F. For system diagnostic or service purposes, the water temperature set point may temporarily be set higher or lower to cause capacity to increase or decrease depending on the needs of the service personnel. BASE OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE This is the set point at which maximum cooling is needed. The coldest water temperature will be provided when the actual outside temperature exceeds this point. In general, this setting should be within a few degrees of the highest summer temperature. Typical settings are from 90F to 100F. AIR/RETURN WATER RESET RATIO (CONSERVATION RATIO) This control sets the degrees per degree change in the return water temperature set point with regard to outside air temperature. A digit on the thumbwheel is a 100:1 ratio, air temperature:water temperature, that is, a 10 digits change on the thumbwheel results in 1.0F change in water temperature for every 10 change in outside air temperature from the base. If air temperature water temperature reset is not desired, then the conservation ratio should be set to 00. At this setting the CO will operate as a precision controller to maintain the water temperature at the base set point. SCAN TIME The Scan time is set to match the reaction time of the system. It governs the rate at which chiller capacity changes are made when needed. The time should be set to the number of minutes that it takes for water to leave the chiller, be pumped through the building, and return to the chiller. The adjustment rate setting is typically 4 to 6 minutes on average systems, 8 to 12 minutes on large central plants. MIN. CAPACITY TIME This control prevents the chiller system from short-cycling during low demand conditions. The chiller system will be held at the minimum load for this time, preventing it from cycling on and off. 7

B. DATA ENTRY FUNCTION, contd

The lead chiller is started by pressing the Mode key until the message Press ENTR to Start Chiller is read on the display. If Enter is pressed, the optimizer will turn on the Interlock and Pump relays and wait for the Ready-to-Load signal to start loading the lead chiller in the sequence. This is assuming that the return water temperature is sufficiently above the target temperature (more than the Min. Water Temp. Offset entered in the Extd Setup Table). If not, there is no demand for cooling and no chiller will be started.
Note: If the chiller(s) is running, the message will be Press ENTR to Stop Chiller. If it is NOT desired to stop the chiller(s), press Mode again to move to the next prompt.

Notes on Lead/Lag Selection Choices There are five choices, which can be selected in sequencing chillers: 1. Local Address. In the maximum of three local centrifugal chiller configuration system, the local addresses are defined by the three 10-conductor ribbon cable connectors in the FX-681 Power Supply Board. Address 1 is the CCU connected to the cable nearest the screw terminals. The sequence will then be Chiller 1, 2 & 3 as assigned to these cables. In a configuration where there is only one local chiller and the others are remote, the sequence will be ascending with the local chiller being the 1st and the slave chillers according to the Comm IDs assigned to them. 2. Least Hours. As soon as a CCU is configured, every time it gets turned on, a timer runs accumulating total hours and minutes for each chiller. The chiller with the least accumulated hours is the first to start followed by the next with the second least hours etc. 3. Tons Low to High. The configuration of each CCU includes its tonnage. This number is used for sequencing the machines from the lowest to the highest tonnage assigned to each machine. Its also used to report the total tonnage available or currently being used at any time and stored in the archives. 4. Tons High to Low. Using the configuration tonnage again, machines are sequencing in the order of highest to the lowest tonnage. 5. User Sequence. This is an arbitrary sequence configured in the Extended Setup menu of the MCU but it is callable by the Basic Setup menu (no passcode). In the PC program, the Basic Setup menu allows the full sequence configuration.
NOTE: If all machines are equal tonnage, say all 500 tons, assigning slightly different tonnage may be advisable if the tonnage sequencing is to be utilized. For example, configuring machines at 499, 500 and 501 tons will not much affect any of the data but it will offer another sequence opportunity.

(*) Demand Period is the time period the electric utility uses to define rate of energy use. The KW-HRs accumulated during this period determine the rate at which the user is using electricity. It is defined as KW demand or KVA demand. This period is typically either 15 minutes, 30 minutes or one hour (900, 1800 or 3600 seconds respectively) as defined by the contract with the local utility or energy provider. The contract with the utility calls for a maximum monthly KW demand which, if exceeded during any one demand period during the month, may impose surcharges and/or increased cost per KW-HR in the final bill. A separate KW-HR transducer is recommended producing one pulse per KW-HR and installed in the main feed line metered by the utility.

MCU (Master Control Unit) SETUP: CALIBRATE Entered by pressing MODE three times (with passcode) and selected with arrow UP or DOWN
The software calibration routine is based on applying a live signal near the bottom part of the range and another near the top part of the range. The actual numerical values used are not critical as long as they are known. The software reads the A/D values corresponding to these two points and draws a straight line between them. Once the values are stored in non-volatile memory, the may be edited if desired.

C. CHILLER BYPASS FUNCTION

The Chiller Optimizer running. Bypass button is used to bypass any one of the optimizers
When the button is momentarily pressed, the following message appears on the display:
Bypass Select: Chiller 1

With the Up/Down buttons, select the optimizer of the chiller to be bypassed and press Enter. The following message will then appear:
Press ENTR to Bypass Chiller

When the Enter button is pressed again, the optimizer is bypassed but without shutting down the chiller or the pump. It simply allows the control panel of the chiller to load and unload the compressor. If the optimizer was already bypassed and the desired task is to reactivate it, the following message will appear on the display:
Press ENTR to Clear Chiller

Once the Enter button is pressed, the optimizer will again take control of the loading/unloading of the chiller.

D. DIAGNOSTICS MODE:
The diagnostic routine is part of the embedded software of the optimizer designed to facilitate the input/output hardware testing of the optimizer before it is commissioned.
CAUTION: If the optimizer is already installed and connected to a chiller, make certain the chiller does not respond to the optimizer signals as the diagnostic routine will operate relays and or change the analog outputs.
To enter the diagnostic mode, press the mode button three times and enter the passcode as prompted. The arrow keys are used until diagnostic comes up on the display. Press ENTER. There are two parts to the diagnostic mode: a. Digital I/O diagnostics b. Analog I/O diagnostics
Digital I/O Diagnostics

The first display will be:
Dig In 00000000 Dig Out 000000

This is the digital I/O test display. The top line shows all eight digital inputs to the optimizer. In an MCU with three local CCUs, the digital inputs shown will correspond to the following external digital input signals (from left to right): 1. RTL for chiller 3 2. KWH demand input pulse signal 3. Remote Bypass 4. RTL for chiller 2 5. Additional Cooling 6. Remote Load-Shed (or Lag Lock-Out) 7. Remote Start 8. RTL for chiller 1 If 1 is displayed instead of 0, it means that the corresponding input is active.
Note: If a bit flickers between 0 and 1, it is probably because that input is floating (not used), as it would be if there are only two local chillers and no RTL for chiller 3. In such a case, no. 1 bit may be flickering because there is no signal to hold it in either 0 or 1 state.

It may be noticed that the numbers entered are successive binary numbers. Any other numbers in between will activate a combination of relays (and lights). For example, if 3 is entered, relays 1 and 2 (and lights In Control and Setting MF) will be activated.
Note: Two of the relays on the Chiller 2 and Chiller 3 CCU boards will not be activated because they are the 17th and 18th digital outputs which do not exist on the MCU board (there are only 16 digital outputs).
To exit this part of the diagnostic routine, enter 0 and press ENTER Analog I/O Diagnostics
The next screen on the display will be the analog I/O test display.

The A/D values cover a 12-bit range of 0-4095, corresponding to 0-12.5 vdc. For a typical input of 4-20 mA and a dropping resistor of 500 ohms, the voltage input range will be 2-10 vdc. This will correspond to 655-3276 A/D counts. The calibration of the analog inputs may thus be checked, one at a time, as the corresponding channel numbers are entered. The following channel numbers have been assigned: Channel No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Analog Input CHWR Temperature OSA Temperature CT Load Chiller 1 CHWS Temperature CT Load Chiller 2 CT Load Chiller 3 Spare Analog Input NC
Analog Output:
There is only one 4-20 mA analog output from each CPU board. When an input channel is entered above, the raw A/D value is written to the analog output. A 4-20 mA input is thus reflected as a proportional 4- 20 mA output for diagnostic purposes.
Enter a 0 on the keypad to exit or press Display at any time. The Diagnostic mode terminates after two minutes of inactivity.
