FREE-COOLING
Function
To ensure refrigeration whilst optimising the use of free-cooling, thus limiting electrical consumption to a
minimum.
Description
FF Free-cooling outline diagram
TEEGFC ó Temperature of chilled water input to free-cooling (°C)
TEEG ó Temperature of chilled water input to the evaporator (°C)
TSEG ó Chilled water output temperature (°C)
TEA ó Outside air temperature (°C)
V3VFC ó Three-way free-cooling valve
FF Control of the three-way free-cooling valve:
V3VFC is fed if all the following conditions are satisfied :
ð TEEGFC is greater than the regulation instruction CONSREG.
ð TEA<TEEGFC-2°C.
ð The chilled water circulation pump has been in operation for at least 30 seconds.
ð The three way valve has remained off for 3 minutes.
ð The free-cooling water input sensor is not defective.
V3VFC is kept connected as long as all following conditions are satisfied :
ð TEEGFC is not less than CONSREG.
ð TEA<TEEGFC.
ð The pump is in operation.
ð The free-cooling water input sensor is not defective.
FF Control of free-cooling fans
The number of ventilation stages required for the batteries is determined by the free-cooling thermostat
THERFC. This parameter depends on the temperature of the water input to the evaporator TEEG and on the
regulation instruction.
