Introduction

This bulletin provides information about Tracer AdaptiView™control as applied to CVHE, CVHF, CVHG, CDHF and CDHG chillers.

You can also use this bulletin as a reference for standard and optional features and to obtain specific data point communication information.

By designing a fourth-generation unit controller with software and smart sensors (rather than hardware modules) at its core, Trane’s controls engineers have provided AdaptiView control-equipped chillers with improved communication capabilities, accuracy, serviceability, and adaptability.

Features Supported by Tracer AdaptiView Control

With AdaptiView control, system designers can take advantage of energy saving strategies, which allow the CenTraVac™ chiller to be used with unsurpassed efficiency. AdaptiView control provides and supports the following key features:

Intuitive user interface with a graphical color touch-screen

The AdaptiView display is a touch-sensitive, 12-inch diagonal color liquid crystal display (LCD) that uses color graphics and animation to ensure ease of use. The touch-sensitive interface allows you to view the chiller graphically and receive a status indication accompanied by subsubsystem animations. (See “AdaptiView™ Control and the AdaptiView Display,” p. 8.)

You can navigate easily between the primary chiller subsystems including the: compressor, evaporator, condenser, motor, and purge. For each subsystem, you can view status and detailed operating parameters. In addition, alarms, reports, trending, and settings can all be accessed quickly from the main screen. AdaptiView control supports 24 languages with English as the default.

Feedforward adaptive control

Feedforward is an open-loop, predictive control strategy designed to anticipate and compensate for load changes. It uses the Evaporator Entering Water Temperature and, optionally, the Evaporator Flow Rate as indicators of load change. This allows the controller to respond faster to system changes and maintain stable leaving water temperatures (± 0.5 °F).

Soft loading

AdaptiView control uses soft loading except during manual operation. Large adjustments due to load or setpoint changes are made gradually, preventing the compressor from cycling unnecessarily. It does this by internally filtering the setpoints to avoid reaching the differential-to-stop or the current limit too quickly. Soft loading applies to the Leaving Chilled Water Temperature and Current Limit setpoints. These setpoints can be adjusted to facilitate faster loading times.

Adaptive Control™

Whenever AdaptiView control senses that it can no longer meet its primary objective (maintaining Leaving Chilled Water Temperature) without triggering a protective shutdown, it focuses on the most critical secondary objective. When the secondary objective is no longer critical, the controller reverts to its primary objective. As an example, if the tower temperature was to rise above normal for an extended period of time, the control would sense this and send a caution signal. It might even hold or unload the chiller to keep it on line until the system problem is resolved.

Fast Restarts - Quick Loadup

AdaptiView control allows the CenTraVac chiller to restart within 93 seconds—a standard product capability. If the chiller shuts down on a nonlatching diagnostic, the diagnostic has 30–60 seconds to clear itself and initiate a fast restart. This includes momentary power losses. In addition, when

Features Supported by Tracer AdaptiView Control

the chiller is started, the load up time can be as fast as three minutes. This restart time can be cut in half by using a UPS power source to supply control power. (See Restart Time with AdaptiView (UC800) in CTV-SVN018-EN.)

Enhanced Flow Management Package and variable-primary flow (VPF) with an

AFD

Handling evaporator flow rate changes up to 30% per minute with or without AFDs is another standard capability of AdaptiView chillers. The Enhanced Flow Management Package is an optional control feature for CenTraVac chillers. The Enhanced Flow Management Package allows the chiller to accommodate higher than typical flow rate changes (up to 50% per minute) while providing stable chilled water temperatures, even in combination with an Adaptive Frequency Drive™ (AFD). (See “Enhanced Flow Management Package,” p. 35 for a more detailed description.)

Chilled-water systems that vary the water flow through chiller evaporators have caught the attention of engineers, contractors, building owners, and operators. Varying the water flow reduces the energy consumed by pumps, while requiring no extra energy for the chiller. This strategy can be a significant source of energy savings, depending on the application.

Using the optional Enhanced Flow Management Package, AdaptiView control reliably accommodates higher variable evaporator water flow changes and virtually eliminates its effect on the chilled-water temperature.

Previous controllers could not accommodate variable water flow in combination with variable-speed drives. Water-flow compensation reacts so quickly that this energy- saving combination is now possible.

Adaptive Frequency Drive (AFD)

For AFD equipped chillers, the combination of speed control and Inlet Guide Vane Position is now optimized mathematically and controlled simultaneously. The increased performance of the microprocessor allows the chiller to operate longer at higher efficiency and with greater stability.

Revolutionary EarthWise™Purge

AdaptiView control equipped chillers feature a high-efficiency purge, which includes an auto-regenerating carbon canister to return reclaimed refrigerant back to the chiller automatically. The EarthWise Purge is more aggressive in auto-adaptive mode than its predecessor. Adaptive mode uses historical purge data to determine when to purge and for how long, keeping the chiller at peak operating efficiency. Finally, today’s purge operates as a leak detector. Any significant purge run time can warn a technician of a potential leak.

Chiller tower optimization

Tracer™SC system controller chiller-tower optimization extends Adaptive Control to the rest of the chiller plant. Chiller tower optimization is a patented control algorithm for managing the chiller and cooling-tower subsystem.

It considers the chiller load and real-time ambient conditions, then optimizes the tower setpoint temperature to maximize the efficiency of the subsystem.

34°F leaving water temperature

Another benefit of Feedforward Adaptive Control is the ability to operate the CenTraVac chiller at low leaving evaporator water temperatures without the use of glycol.

Colder water is generally used in wide delta-T systems, reducing the pumping energy required and making it less expensive to deliver cooling capacity over long distances. For this reason, 34°F leaving water temperatures are frequently used in district cooling applications, but can also be used in comfort cooling applications.

Consult CenTraVac Product Management when making chiller two- or three-pass selections using 34°F to 36°F leaving- water temperatures. Adherence to standard installation procedures (for

example, strainer upstream of waterbox, waterbox temperature sensor) is important when implementing low leaving-water temperatures.

Cold condenser water

The CenTraVac has a large operating map. For the past two decades the ability to operate at cold condenser water temperatures (for example, at 55 °F) has been documented and demonstrated. (See Condenser Water Temperature Control for CenTraVac™Centrifugal Chiller Systems with Tracer AdaptiView Controls (CTV-PRB006-EN) for more details on Trane’s condenser water temperature capabilities.) This document covers the required minium pressure differential between the evaporator and condenser. It also discusses various head pressure control options. So, the question that you must answer is, “What is the optimal tower temperature given the application and location?” Trane suggests that an optimization is best based on the combined minimum energy consumption between the chiller and tower. (See Chiller System Design and Control (SYS-ADM001-EN) for more information on condenser water temperature controler optimization.)

Chiller communications options

A variety of control interface options are available to communicate CenTraVac data to other BAS systems. Trane offers options that communicate through BACnet and MODBUS protocols directly from the chiller. LonTalk® options are available as well. Trane also offers full building or chiller plant control capabilities coordinated and managed by Tracer SC. See “Communication Options,” p. 26 for some system configurations.

Operator Interfaces

Tracer AdaptiView™control panel, which includes the UC800, supports two operator/technician interfaces, which are described in this section.

• The AdaptiView display

• The Tracer TU service tool

Increased Serviceability

The previous Trane chiller controllers (Tracer™ CH530 with the DynaView™) included a smaller, character-based, two-color user interface that presented the chiller data necessary for daily tasks. Service or maintenance tasks were performed using the TechView™ service tool.

The AdaptiView control panel adds a level of sophistication that improves service technician effectiveness and minimizes chiller downtime. AdaptiView control provides a user interface (the AdaptiView display) and a main processor (the UC800) that protects the chiller and optimizes chiller efficiency. The Tracer TU service tool succeeds TechView for performing service and maintenance tasks.

Tracer TU serves as the interface to all CenTraVac chillers, and customizes itself based on the properties of the chiller with which it is communicating. Therefore, service technicians have to familiarize themselves with only one service tool interface.

The panel bus is easy to troubleshoot using LED verification of sensors. Only the defective device is replaced. (Captive screws ensure that the appropriate mounting hardware is available.)

AdaptiView™ Control and the AdaptiView Display

AdaptiView control is the unit-mounted controller and serves as the microprocessor-based chiller control system that provides complete monitoring and efficiency optimization for the Water-Cooled CenTraVac Chiller. It is a factory-mounted package including a full complement of controls to safely and efficiently operate the CenTraVac chiller, including oil management, purge operation, an interface to the starter or AFD, and comprehensive motor protection including three-phase solid state motor overload.

Features and Capabilities

Some of the features and capabilites available through the AdaptiView display interface include

• Auto/stop commands

• Status (all subsystems)

• Setpoint adjustment (daily user points)

• Ten (10) historic and any active diagnostics

• Graphical trending (up to 16 graphs and 10 variables per graph)

• Mode overrrides

• Reports including ASHRAE

• Operating settings - security password protection

• BACnet and MODBUS direct communications

AdaptiView control receives information from, and communicates commands to the other devices on the chiller’s communication link. It performs the leaving chilled water temperature and limit control algorithms, arbitrating capacity against any operating limit within which the chiller may be operating.

The Tracer™ TU Service Tool (Tracer TU for Chillers)

Tracer TU is a PC application that provides the necessary setup, configuration, and monitoring functions used with AdaptiView™control to service Trane CenTraVac™ chillers (models CVHE, CVHF, and CVHG), CenTraVac Duplex chillers (models CDHF or CDHG), and AdaptiView Panel Upgrades (CVRE).

Tracer TU Capabilities

You can use Tracer TU to perform tasks such as:

• Connecting to and reading the settings from a Tracer AdaptiView controller (UC800)

• Monitoring chiller and controller status

• Making changes to chiller configuration settings

• Saving chiller configurations to your hard drive and then reusing configurations on multiple chiller units

• Saving changed setpoints and configurations to the controller

• Overriding chiller outputs

• Checking for and responding to alarms (Displays up to 100 active and historic alarms.)

• Data logging and graphing controller-generated datapoints

• Managing Low Level Intelligent Device (LLID) binding, sequencing, replacement, and removal

• Generating reports

• Backing up and restoring configuration files and settings

You connect your laptop directly to the UC800 with a Type A/B USB cable and then start a Tracer TU session to view chiller status, configuration settings, diagnostics, LLID operation, and network health. For example, the Unit Summary screen shown in Figure 14 provides at-a-glance information about chiller operation and current status.

Accuracy of Analog to Digital Conversions

Each device (for example, a sensor) is connected to its own microprocessor, which converts the sensor signal from analog to digital. The calibration of the conversion is specific to the type of sensor, providing better temperature accuracy and eliminating the need for matched sensor pairs.

Distributing logic to the sensors allows the main processor to focus on responding to changing conditions—in the load, the machine, its ancillary equipment, or its power supply.

Control and Communication Options

The CenTraVac AdaptiView control complex provides several control and communication options. Figure 16 summarizes the available options.

Figure 16. An overview of AdaptiView controls for CenTraVac chillers

26 CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010

Control and Communication Options

Hardwire Control Points

Standard hardwire interface points include the binary points shown on Figure 16, p. 25. These include evaporator and condenser pump relays, chiller auto/stop and chiller emergency stop. Additional binary points can be hardwired out if the option call Operating Status (OPST) is selected. See Figure 16, p. 25 for a listing of what control boards and terminal points are applicable within AdaptiView control.

Generic BAS (GBAS)

If you are interested in controlling the chiller with an external hardwire analog signal, you can select the option called Generic BAS (GBAS). (See Figure 16, p. 25. ) With the GBAS option an external hardwire signal can be received to allow changes to the chilled water set point and the demand limit of the chiller. In addition, an analog output of % RLA is available. The GBAS option also includes the condenser pressure output signal that can be used for Head Pressure Control if required.

Condenser Pressure Output (CDRP)

If all that is required is a condenser pressure output signal, for Head Pressure Control, select Condenser Pressure Output (CDRP) alone. With this option you also get an analog output of % RLA.

The CDRP signal is an option typically used on chillers that will have cold starts (northern applications, daytime-only operation), or plants where combined free cooling and regular cooling might take place, and so on. It is specifically used in applications that might have trouble maintaining the 3 psid differential pressure between the evaporator and the condenser. It requires field engineering, wiring, and some control work to implement. Today, AdaptiView control, with the CDRP option can supply a signal that goes directly to the variable speed drive or bypass valve on the condenser water circuit. (See Condenser Water Temperature Control (CTV-PRB006-EN) for more detailed information.)

Control Options (EPRO and WFC)

There are two control options that can be chosen on the CenTraVac:

• Enhanced Protection Option EPRO. See “Enhanced Protection (EPRO) Option,” p. 39 for more information.

• Enhanced Flow Management Package (WFC). See “Enhanced Flow Management Package (WFC),” p. 35 for more details on this option.

Some special unit options require a hardwire interface control card. The card option is called Extended Operation (EXOP). See “Extended Operation (EXOP),” p. 34 for more details on these capabilities.

Communication Options

There are a variety of chiller communication options depending on the application requirements. This subsection covers some options that describe the control interface flexibility of AdaptiView control for CenTraVac chillers. Remember, if you choose to use these communication pathways, you may not need the hardwire points described in the previous subsection. However many customers choose to have the hardwire points for back-up external communication.

Control and Communication Options

Total Building Automation by Trane

The following options describe the typical chiller connection options and available communication protocols when building level control is handled by Tracer SC.

Option 1: LonTalk

Figure 17, p. 27 illustrates the use of a LonTalk card/LLID installed on the chiller to enable the AdaptiView chiller to communicate to the Tracer SC. Using a LonTalk card provides you with a comprehensive list of points that can be communicated. (See LonTalk Communication Interface for Trane Chillers with Tracer AdaptiView Control (ACC-SVN100A-EN) for more information.)

Standard Controls

AdaptiView control supports the standard controls described in this section.

Field Connection

The field connected elements listed here are involved in physically turning the chiller on or off. This involves ensuring that the chiller is not in an emergency or external stop condition, starting the pumps, and verifying that flow has been established. The optional, factory-supplied flow switch or a customer-supplied differential pressure switch can be used to prove flow.

• External Auto Stop (Enable/Disable)

• Emergency Stop

• Chilled-Water Flow Contacts

• Condenser-Water Flow Contacts

• Chilled-Water Pump Relay

• Condenser-Water Pump Relay

Heat Exchanger Control

The fundamental internal variables listed here are necessary to control the chiller. They are gathered and acted upon by the heat exchanger control function.

• High-Pressure Cutout

• Evaporator Entering-Water Temperature

• Evaporator Leaving-Water Temperature

• Condenser Entering-Water Temperature

• Condenser Leaving-Water Temperature

• Evaporator Saturated-Refrigerant Temperature

• Condenser Saturated-Refrigerant Temperature

Motor Control

Motor Control includes all functions that start, run, and stop the motor. The starter module provides the interface and control of Y-delta, across-the-line, primary reactor, autotransformer, and solid-state starters. Analog and binary signals are used to interface with the solid state starter.

An AFD output signal, included in the AFD option, controls the Adaptive Frequency Drive. The Motor Control also provides protection to both the motor and the compressor. It includes the following components:

• Starter Module (all starters except AFD)

• Starter Fault (all solid-state starters)

• Power Supply

• Oil Heater Relay

• Oil and Refrigerant Pump Relay With Interlock

• Oil Temperature

• Oil-Sump Pressure

• Oil-Pump Discharge Pressure

• Compressor Motor-Winding Temperatures

CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010 31

Standard Controls

EarthWise Purge Control

The purge control function provides all the inputs and outputs to control the purge, optimizing both purge and chiller efficiency. The purge controller communicates with AdaptiView control over the IPC3 bus communications link, uploading setpoints and downloading data and diagnostics.

Phase Voltage Sensors – 3-Phase

Includes factory-installed potential transformers in the starter for monitoring and displaying phase voltage and provides over/undervoltage protection. The AdaptiView display, Tracer TU, and Tracer SC display the following:

• Compressor phase voltage (a-b, b-c, c-a)

• Kilowatts

• Power factor (uncorrected)

Chilled-Water Reset (Based on Returned Chilled Water Temperature)

Chilled-water reset is often a practical means of reducing energy consumption during periods of the year when heating loads are high but cooling loads are reduced. Resetting the chilled-water temperature reduces the amount of work that the compressor must do by increasing the evaporator refrigerant pressure.

Chilled-water reset is also used in combination with the hot-water control. By resetting the chilled-water temperature upward, the compressor can generate a higher condenser pressure, resulting in higher leaving hot-water temperatures.

Hot-Water Control

In the hot-water mode, the chiller produces hot water as its primary objective, rather than chilled water. As an option, the Extended Operation (EXOP) package allows an external controller to enable, disable, and modulate this mode. It can be performed with or without a secondary condenser. See also “Heat Recovery/Auxiliary Condenser (ACOS),” p. 32 option.

Ice-Making Control

For chillers that have been selected to allow for ice-making operation, the standard control package includes the ice-making mode. As an option, the Extended Operation (EXOP) package allows an external controller to enable, disable, and modulate this mode.

Page 32: Tracer AdaptiView™ Control - Heating and Air ... Tracer... · Feedforward adaptive control Feedforward is an open-loop, pred ictive control strategy designed to anticipate and compensate

32 CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010

Optional Controls

AdaptiView control supports the optional controls described in this section.

Heat Recovery/Auxiliary Condenser (ACOS)

Includes a second condenser for the purpose of recovering heat that would normally be rejected to a cooling tower.

Also includes factory-installed sensors for the entering-and leaving water temperatures. These temperatures are shown at the AdaptiView display, Tracer TU, and Tracer SC.

There are two ways to implement heat recovery: in hot water control mode (get whatever incidental cooling is produced) or in cooling mode (get whatever incidental heating is produced.)

In hot-water control mode, the Hot Gas Bypass (HGBP) option is more- likely necessary. The Extended Operation (EXOP) option is relevant to ACOS only for external hot-water control, which includes enabling, disabling, and controlling the hot- water setpoint. These settings and the hot-water control mode are available internally as standard with AdaptiView control.

Hot-Gas Bypass (HGBP)

While the multi-stage CenTraVac design has excellent surge resistance at low load, there are some applications where HGBP may be necessary to avoid excessive surging or extend to lower loads:

• Heat recovery—elevated head pressure combined with low cooling load

• Process or other applications where entering condenser-water temperature (ECWT) is independent of the cooling load

• Customer preference—based on experience with a single-stage centrifugal chiller that is prone to surge without HGBP

HGBP is generally not needed in northern climates when ECWT varies with the load. TOPSS performs a stability check on all standard CenTraVac chillers down to 25% load with constant ECWT. The chiller selection may be able to unload further. Use the part-load, constant-condenser function of TOPSS to find out how far.

HGBP eliminates or reduces compressor cycling during periods of low or no load. It can be used for short or long periods of time, and allows the chiller to respond quickly to a load increase from the minimum capacity condition. It is sometimes used instead of an AFD when the chiller is oversized. HGBP can also be used in concert with the inlet guide vane control to reduce the settling time after a cooling-load adjustment.

The new compressor-discharge, refrigerant temperature-limit control makes HGBP more adaptable to different operating conditions. When a chiller is selected with the HGBP option, the discharge-refrigerant temperature sensor is included and factory-installed. This temperature and the HGBP hours of operation will be shown at the AdaptiView display, Tracer TU, and Tracer SC.

Chilled-Water Reset (CWR)

(CWR is based on ambient temp.)

This option is an alternative to the standard chilled-water reset, which is based on the return chilled-water temperature.

It consists of ambient temperature sensors and related controls. The ambient temperature is displayed in AdaptiView control, Tracer TU, and at Tracer Summit. The temperature sensor is shipped with the chiller for field installation.

Page 33: Tracer AdaptiView™ Control - Heating and Air ... Tracer... · Feedforward adaptive control Feedforward is an open-loop, pred ictive control strategy designed to anticipate and compensate

CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010 33

Optional Controls

Gas-Powered Chiller (GENR)

In today's climate of turbulent energy prices and availability, building owners look for solutions. The ability to run a chiller on either natural gas or electricity puts the owner in a stonger and more flexible position. Engine-driven chillers have the highest coefficients of performance of any natural-gas cooling system. Installations in many parts of the country demonstrate the engine-driven chiller's lower total operating costs.

There are two ways to couple a centrifugal chiller with a natural-gas engine—electrically and mechanically. By electrically coupling the chiller and the engine, the system designer has the flexibility to place the engine–generator in a remote location and isolate its sound from sound-sensitive areas.

The controls package is a custom control-interface that coordinates and protects the engine and the chiller.

Free Cooling (FRCL)

Free Cooling (also known as Refrigerant Migration) is based on the principle that refrigerant migrates to the coldest area in the system. The CenTraVac’s Free Cooling option converts the basic CenTraVac chiller to a simple heat exchanger by diverting refrigerant around the compressor. It does not provide control of the leaving chilled-water temperature.

If condenser water is available at a temperature lower than the required leaving chilled-water temperature, the operator manually switches to a Free Cooling cycle by enabling the Free Cooling mode in the AdaptiView settings group.

When the chiller operator initiates the Free Cooling mode, the compressor shuts down if running. The shutoff valves in the liquid and gas lines open the compressor bypass and the unit control logic prevents the compressor from energizing. Liquid refrigerant drains by gravity from the storage tank into the evaporator and floods the tube bundle. Since the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator are higher than in the condenser (due to the higher water temperature), the refrigerant vaporizes and travels to the condenser without assistance from the compressor. Cooling-tower water causes the refrigerant to condense and the cycle continues.

This cycle is sustained as long as a temperature differential exists between the condenser water and evaporator water. The actual cooling capacity provided by the Free Cooling cycle is determined by the difference between these temperatures and the consequent rate of refrigerant flow.

Several components must be factory-supplied or field-installed to equip the unit for Free Cooling operation:

• A refrigerant gas line with an electrically-actuated shutoff valve between the evaporator and condenser

• A liquid return line with an electrically-actuated shutoff valve between the condenser sump and the evaporator

• A liquid refrigerant storage vessel

• Additional refrigerant

The Free Cooling option defines the basic chiller type, including factory-installed piping, valves, controls, and additional refrigerant. Free Cooling is not available with Heat Recovery or Auxiliary Condenser units or with the Hot-Gas Bypass option.

34 CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010

Optional Controls

Extended Operation (EXOP)

Select the Extended Operation package for chillers that require ice-building control, hot water control, and/or base-loading capabilities to be controlled externally. This package uses the following components, including a 4-20 mA or 0-10 Vdc analog input for a refrigerant monitor.

• External Ice Building Control

• External Ice Building Relay

• External Base Loading Control

• External Base Loading Relay

• External Hot Water Control Relay

• Refrigerant Monitor Input

Base-Loading Control

This feature allows an external controller to directly modulate the capacity of the chiller. It is typically used in applications where virtually infinite sources of evaporator load and condenser capacity are available and it is desirable to control the loading of the chiller. Two examples are industrial process applications and cogeneration plants. Industrial process applications might use this feature to impose a specific load on the facility’s electrical system. Cogeneration plants might use this feature to balance the system’s heating, cooling, and electrical generation.

All chiller safeties and Adaptive Control functions are in full effect when Base Loading is enabled. AdaptiView control’s Adaptive Control logic limits the loading of the chiller to prevent the chiller from shutting down on a safety limit should one of the following events occur:

• The chiller approaches full current

• The evaporator temperature drops too low

• The condenser pressure rises too high

These limits may prevent the chiller from reaching the load requested by the Base Loading signal.

An alternative and less radical approach to Base Loading indirectly controls chiller capacity. Artificially load the chiller by setting the Chilled Water Setpoint lower than its normal range. Then, modify the chiller’s load by adjusting the Current Limit Setpoint. This approach provides greater safety and control stability because it leaves the chilled water temperature control logic in effect. The chilled water temperature control responds more quickly to dramatic system changes and limits chiller loading prior to reaching an Adaptive Control limit.

Ice-Making Control

This feature allows an external controller to control the chiller in an ice storage system. Ice storage is typically used in areas where high electrical-demand charges can be offset by shifting building energy use to off-peak (typically nighttime) hours.

While AdaptiView control is capable of running the chiller in Ice-Making mode, installation savings and additional energy savings can be realized by using the Chiller Plant Control module of the Tracer building automation system. Chiller Plant Control anticipates how much ice needs to be made at night and operates the system accordingly. The controls are integrated with the chiller. Two wires and preprogrammed software reduce field-installation cost and complex custom programming.

The CenTraVac chiller is uniquely suited for low-temperature applications like ice storage, because it provides multiple stages of compression. This allows the chiller to produce ice efficiently, while experiencing less stress than a single-stage compression chiller.

CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010 35

Optional Controls

Hot-Water Control

This feature allows an external controller to enable/disable and modulate the Hot Water Control mode. Occasionally, CenTraVac chillers are used to provide heating as a primary mission. In this case the external controller or operator would select a hot water temperature setpoint and the chiller capacity would be modulated to maintain the setpoint. Heating is the primary mission and cooling is a waste product or a secondary mission. This technique provides application flexibility, especially in multiple-chiller plants in conjunction with undersized heating plants.

The chiller uses only one condenser for Hot Water Control, whereas Heat Recovery uses a secondary condenser.

Refrigerant Monitor

The Extended Operation package allows for a refrigerant monitor to send a 4-20 mA signal to the AdaptiView display. It can be calibrated to correspond to either 0-100 ppm or 0-1,000 ppm concentration levels. The concentration level is displayed at the AdaptiView display, but the chiller will not take any action based on the input from the refrigerant monitor.

Alternatively, a refrigerant monitor can be connected to Tracer SC, which has the ability to increase ventilation in the equipment room.

Enhanced Flow Management Package (WFC)

The Enhanced Flow Management Package option includes transducers for the differential evaporator-and condenser- water pressures (psid). Flow switches or some other means to prove flow are still required and must be field connected. One type of sensor handles all pressure ranges up to 300 psig.

The following data will be shown at the AdaptiView display, in Tracer TU displays, and at Tracer Summit.

• Evaporator and condenser differential water pressures (psid)

• Evaporator and condenser gpm

• Evaporator tons (estimate)

Enhanced Flow Management Package

The standard Trane chiller is designed to handle variable flow rates of change between 10% - 30% per minute. At 10% per minute, the leaving chilled water temperature fluctuates very little (less than .5F ±). As you increase the rate of change to 30% per minute, the leaving chilled water temperature fluctuation increases, but the unit remains online.This principle applies to units with and without AFDs. To enhance this capability, you can select the Enhanced Flow Management Package option.

The Enhanced Flow Management Package option uses a patented, variable, water-flow algorithm to maintain stable, precise capacity control with flow rate changes up to 30% per minute. In addition, if the Enhanced Flow Management Package option is installed, the chiller can remain online with flow rate changes up to 50% per minute.

It will automatically adjust capacity control to:

• Maintain control stability at low flow rates.

• Maintain control stability at flow rate changes in excess of 30% per minute.

If the water-pressure transducer fails and the flow switch continues to prove flow, the Enhanced Flow Management Package will be disabled and the design delta T will be used.

For applications designed to operate with Variable Primary Water Flow (VPF) , the Enhanced Flow Management Package allows the chiller to respond quickly to accelerating or decelerating water. By automatically adjusting the control gain, large changes in the water flow rate can be tolerated. Data shown on Figure 24, p. 37 demonstrates water- temperature control with flow compensation

Page 36: Tracer AdaptiView™ Control - Heating and Air ... Tracer... · Feedforward adaptive control Feedforward is an open-loop, pred ictive control strategy designed to anticipate and compensate

Optional Controls

enabled. The chilled water temperature remains stable, even when the water flow rate drops 50 percent in 30 seconds.

Another benefit of water flow compensation is disturbance rejection. Figure 25, p. 37 shows the test results from step changes in water flow with increasing magnitudes. The leaving chilled water temperature remains largely unaffected. Even the most severe change—dropping water flow 66 percent in 30 seconds—caused a small 1.5°F variation in chilled water temperature.

It is unlikely that a chiller application would be making water flow changes of this magnitude. The results demonstrate that the chiller is more than capable of supporting variable water flow applications.

Variable Flow Stability

The following figures illustrate the effect of the Enhanced Flow Management Package option.

Optional Controls

Adaptive Frequency Drive (AFD) Option

The AFD option provides the following benefits.

• Simultaneous Adjustment of Inlet Guide Vanes and SpeedSimultaneously adjusts inlet guide vanes and speed to spend more hours at optimum efficiency. Upon startup, the chiller starts at a frequency that provides additional surge margin. The added surge margin decays gradually over 40 minutes to the optimum speed. The extra surge margin is used to allow the chiller refrigerant pressures to stabilize. AFD speed and IGV position are simultaneously adjusted to meet the dual requirements of water temperature control and efficiency. AdaptiView control adjusts speed unconditionally—it does not have to wait for water temperature control to reach setpoint or for stable cooling load.AdaptiView control adjusts speed as needed to track changing load or water-loop conditions. At the same time, it adjusts the inlet guide vanes to prevent the water temperature from deviating from its setpoint. When the vanes are fully open, the compressor speed is controlling the water temperature. Reducing the chiller load or increasing the head conditions cause the compressor to move toward a surge condition. When conditions are within the surge boundary, vanes and speed modulate to control both surge margin and chiller capacity.

• Mathematical Optimization of Inlet Guide Vanes and SpeedMathematically optimizes inlet guide vanes and speed, which eliminates“hunting” at surge boundary. AdaptiView control reduces speed until the surge pressure coefficient boundary is reached. Every 30 minutes, the AFD speed control evaluates whether the boundary should be optimized. If optimization is required, the pressure-coefficient boundary is raised until surge is detected. Upon surge, the boundary is reset and surge recovery occurs. The decision to optimize is based on whether the vane position has changed by an amount greater than the optimization sensitivity since the last optimization was done. After the boundary is established, speed control makes adjustments to follow the boundary as conditions change.

• Increased Stability and AdaptabilityAdaptiView control includes features that overcome previous Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) limitations and prevent instability.

– Variable water-flow designs—work in conjunction with an AFD, provided the chiller control is AdaptiView control with the Flow Compensation Control option installed. Chiller control with rapid water flow variations and large turndown have been demonstrated with and without variable frequency drives.

– Rapid changes in load—Feedforward control improves chilled water temperature response.

– Short chilled water loop—Feedforward control cancels out the effect of short water loops.

– Parallel chiller with poor control is causing temperature variations—AdaptiView control changes speed and adjusts cooling load at the same time. Even if there is a poorly controlled chiller in parallel, a CenTraVac chiller with AdaptiView control maintains excellent water-temperature control at the best efficiency.

– Waiting for leaving temperature to exceed threshold—AdaptiView control reduces speed to the surge boundary based on the current differential operating pressure, making instantaneous corrections to speed and vane settings as conditions change.

Note: CTV-PRB008-EN “Trane Adaptive Frequency Control for Centrifugal Water Chillers” provides a more detailed discussion of this option.

Optional Controls

Enhanced Protection (EPRO) Option

The Optional Enhanced Protection Package includes sensors and transducers that enable the following protection features:

Table 2. AdaptiView control standard protection features

Option Description

Enhanced condenser - limit control Includes factory-installed condenser pressure transducer and interconnecting piping and wiring. Provides enhanced high-pressure cutout avoidance by energizing a relay to initiate head relief.

Note: This option is in addition to the standard high refrigerant-pressure safety contact.

Compressor Discharge Refrigerant Temperature Protection

Includes a factory-installed sensor and safety cutout on high compressor- discharge temperature. Allows AdaptiView control to monitor compressor discharge temperature, which is displayed at the AdaptiView display, Tracer TU, and Tracer SC.

Note: When the chiller is selected with HGBP, this sensor and its associated protection are included.

Bearing Oil Temperature Leaving Each Bearing

Optional factory-installed sensors allow high-temperature safety cutouts to monitor the leaving bearing-oil temperatures. AdaptiView control and Tracer SC display the temperatures.

The high bearing temperature cutout is fixed at 180°F (82.2°C). If either bearing temperature violates the cutout, a latching diagnostic is generated.

40 CTV-PRB009-EN, 03 Nov 2010

Standard Protections

AdaptiView control uses proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control for all limits—there is no deadband. This removes oscillation above and below setpoints and extends the capabilities of the chiller.
