This document describes the installation and maintenance of Large Vertical Water Source Heat Pumps, ranging from 6 to 25 tons. These units are designed for indoor installation and are available in various models including LDD, LDE, LDL, LDS, LME, LMH, LML, and LMS.
The Large Vertical Water Source Heat Pumps are designed to provide heating and cooling for building spaces. Each unit incorporates a printed circuit board control system, with low voltage output from the terminal strip always at 24 volts DC. The control board also supplies 24 volts AC power to terminals C and R. These units are specifically designed to operate with a 24-volt mercury bulb type wall thermostat or a microelectronic wall thermostat selected by the manufacturer.
Single compressor units utilize a single Mark IV/AC circuit board, while dual compressor units feature two Mark IV/AC circuit boards. The refrigerant circuits in dual compressor units operate independently, allowing for total independent operation of each circuit. The Mark IV/AC circuit board includes several built-in features such as random start, compressor time delay, night setback, load shed, shutdown, condensate overflow protection, defrost cycle, brownout, and LED/fault outputs.
The low voltage terminal strip on each board is configured such that R-G energizes the fan, R-Y1 energizes the compressor for cooling, and R-W1 energizes the compressor and reversing valve for heating. The reversing valve is energized in the heating mode. A fan interlock circuit ensures the fan energizes whenever the compressor is on, even if the thermostat logic fails.
A lockout circuit on the Mark IV/AC control board stops compressor operation if any safety switches (high pressure, low pressure, or low temperature) open. If the low temperature switch opens, the unit enters cooling mode for 60 seconds to defrost the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger before locking out the compressor. If the condensate sensor detects a filled drain pan, compressor operation is suspended only in cooling mode. The unit can be reset by opening and closing the disconnect switch on the main power supply. The Mark IV/AC control board also provides a fault output signal to an LED on a wall thermostat, indicating various fault conditions.
The system supports night setback operation, activated by a "grounded" signal to the "U" terminal on the low voltage terminal strip. This shuts off the fan and places the unit under control from the night setback terminal on the thermostat. For dual compressor units, W2 on single compressor and W3 on dual compressor units are used for day heating and cooling operation, with load shed and shutdown operations activated by a "grounded" signal to the "L" and "E" terminals, respectively.
The P and C terminals on the Mark IV/AC board are used for pump restart, passing a voltage signal when the unit's compressor is on. This signal can be detected by a Pump Restart Relay board to control heat pump loop circulation pumps, especially during unoccupied periods.
MicroTech 2000 units offer up to four configurable outputs for various control signals:
