APPENDIX B
Capacity Loading Sequence Example —
The fol-
lowing tables show the loading sequence for a 30HX186
(50/50 split) and a 30HX161 (59/41 split) chiller. Each
compressor has 2 loaders. There is no difference in operation
between “Staged” and “Equal” circuit loading on 2 compressor
chillers.

NOTES:
1. Stage 3A (and 3B for 59/41 split) is not used by the algorithm
when increasing stages. Stage 3 (and 2 for a 59/41 split) is not
used when decreasing stages.
2. The % Total Capacities above are calculated based on compres-
sor nominal tons. For the case of the 59/41 split above, the 30HX
uses compressors with flow rates of 250 and 174 cfm (from com-
pressor model numbers 06N__250 and 06N__174), which repre-
sent nominal tons of 80 and 56 (respectively) at 60 Hz. A factor of
40% is used when no loaders are energized, and a factor of 70%
is used when Loader 1 is energized. The capacity shown for
Stage 3B above is calculated as follows:
% Total Capacity = [(0.40 x 80 + 0.70 x 56)/(80 + 56)] x100%
= 52.4 %
