5.15.2 Air-cooled condensing unit with separate air circuit
Free cooling is enabled based on the comparison between the user return water temperature and the outside air temperature;
this directly controls switching of the three-way valve, which allows the water returning from the user terminals to fl ow through
the free cooling coil before entering the evaporator. Free cooling capacity is controlled by modulating the specifi c fan speed; in
combined operation (free cooling + mechanical cooling), free cooling fan speed is always 100%.
Inputs used:
To enable free cooling:
• User return temperature;
• Outside air temperature;
To manage capacity in free cooling mode:
• (according to the control probe used) Return/delivery water temp.
Outputs used:
• 0-10 V to manage the condenser fan (Y1: Circuit 1 and Circuit 2)
• 0-10 V to manage the free cooling fan (Y2: Circuit 1);
• Free cooling valve On-Off control.
