Functions
5.5 Compressor management
Chiller manages scroll compressors with direct starting or modulating BLDC compressors (scroll and rotary).
A maximum of 4 scroll compressors are available in tandem confi guration on two circuits; in the High Effi ciency models, with
BLDC compressors, the maximum is 1BLDC+1On-Off per circuit.

Note: for the sake of simplicity, the
parameters are shown for just one
compressor and one circuit, therefore
all the compressors and circuits on the
unit will have the same settings.

5.5.1 Prede ned BLDC compressors
The type of BLDC compressor can be chosen from the list of compressors available on KSA (ksa.carel.com), Chiller section.
When selecting a specifi c type of compressor, the following parameters are set based on the compressor manufacturer’s tech-
nical specifi cations:
1. compressor motor:
– all the characteristic electrical parameters of the compressor motor;
– minimum and maximum frequency settings, acceleration and deceleration ramps.
2. compressor envelope:
– all the characteristic points that defi ne the shape of the compressor envelope;
– maximum discharge temperature (compressor outlet).
3. compressor envelope management:
– MOP and pressure diff erence (DeltaP), minimum ExV opening parameters;
– working point control parameters;
– prevention parameters.
5.5.2 Safety times
Chiller guarantees compliance with compressor safety times, such as:
• minimum on time;
• minimum off time after deactivation request from controller;
• minimum time between consecutive starts.
