TRANSDUCER REPLACEMENT — Since the transducers
are mounted on Schrader-type fittings, there is no need to re-
move refrigerant from the vessel when replacing the transduc-
ers. Disconnect the transducer wiring. Do not pull on the trans-
ducer wires. Unscrew the transducer from the Schrader fitting.
When installing a new transducer, do not use pipe sealer
(which can plug the sensor). Put the plug connector back on the
sensor and snap into place. Check for refrigerant leaks.
Control Algorithms Checkout Procedure —
One
of the tables on the CVC/ICVC SERVICE menu is CON-
TROL ALGORITHM STATUS. The maintenance screens
may be viewed from the CONTROL ALGORITHM STATUS
table to see how a particular control algorithm is operating.
These maintenance screens are very useful in helping to de-
termine how the control temperature is calculated and guide
vane positioned and for observing the reactions from load
changes, control point overrides, hot gas bypass, surge preven-
tion, etc. The tables are:
Control Test —
The Control Test feature can check all the
thermistor temperature sensors, pressure transducers, pumps
and their associated flow devices, the guide vane actuator, and
other control outputs such as hot gas bypass. The tests can help
to determine whether a switch is defective or a pump relay is
not operating, as well as other useful troubleshooting issues.
During pumpdown operations, the pumps are energized to pre-
vent freeze-up and the vessel pressures and temperatures are
displayed. The Pumpdown/Lockout feature prevents compres-
sor start-up when there is no refrigerant in the chiller or if the
vessels are isolated. The Terminate Lockout feature ends the
Pumpdown/Lockout after the pumpdown procedure is reversed
and refrigerant is added.
LEGEND TO TABLES 11A-11J
Be sure to use a back-up wrench on the Schrader fitting
whenever removing a transducer, since the Schrader fitting
may back out with the transducer, causing a large leak and
possible injury to personnel.
