Functional Description
3.3 Inlet Guide Vanes The Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) assembly is a variable-angle guiding device that is used for
capacity control. The IGV assembly consists of movable vanes and a motor. The vane
opening is determined by the BMCC and controlled by the Serial Driver. The IGV position can
vary between 0-110% where 0% is fully closed and 110% is fully open with the vanes at a 90°
angle.
3.4 Compressor Control
Overview
Figure 3-5 shows a functional block diagram of the compressor control and monitoring
system. Figure 3-7 displays the component locations. The major components include:
• Motor Drive
• Soft-Start Board
• Bearing Motor Compressor Controller (BMCC)
• Bearing PWM Amplifier
• Backplane
• Serial Driver
• HV DC-DC Converter
