Compressor control and surveillance
Starting sequence
When a SAB 283 Mk 1/330/355 Mk 1 compressor stops, UniSAB III will attempt to move the capacity
slide below 5% capacity. If failing to do so, a Capacity error shutdown will be issued and the compressor
will not start.
When the compressor has received starting permission, the oil pump will start. The oil is pumped into
the compressor lubrication system and when the oil flow switch is activated, the prelubrication period will
start.
When the time has expired, the compressor will start and the pump will run for min. 60 seconds. The
pump will stop when the differential pressure is above Set point 2 as described above.
Alarm surveillance
During start the following alarms are delayed:
Low oil pressure 45 sec.
High filter diff. pressure
300 sec.
Low superheat 300 sec.
High superheat 300 sec.
Low/high oil temperature
300 sec.
The delayed alarms are described in section 6.5 Timers.
Balance piston for SAB 355
For SAB 355, the AUX output is dedicated for control of the balance piston. Choose the AUX output to
be activated At max. cap. in the menu Compressor control – user functions and set the Signal high limit
to 70%.
3.3.16 SAB 120 and 151 with oil pump
The compressors are equipped with capacity slide and automatic Vi-control. The Vi is controlled in three
steps.
If the compressor is equipped with a frequency converter (VSD) see subsection 6.4.1 Drive, 6: Rotatune
for additional set-up of UniSAB III.
The oil pump is used to maintain a minimum oil pressure level during operation and to return the ca-
pacity slide to minimum position before the compressor is started. During operation, the oil pump is
started and stopped in accordance with the compressor differential pressure.
The difference is set in the picture Oil/Pressure/Control whereupon Set point 1 and Set point 2 will ap-
pear. Set point 1 is the pump start pressure and Set point 2 is the pump stop pressure. Therefore, Set
point 1 must be set at the lowest pressure level.
Move the cursor to Set point 1, press to enter the parameter change field, use and to adjust the
value and press to store the value.
Adjust Setpoint 2 the same way.
If the compressor differential pressure is below Set point 1 during operation, the pump will start
immediately.
When the compressor differential pressure has been higher than Set point 2 for 60 seconds, the pump
will stop.
Starting sequence
When the compressor has received starting permission, UniSAB III will check whether the capacity slide
is in minimum position. If the capacity slide is higher than 10% position, the solenoid valve for
