avoiding liquid slugging at the compressors and ensuring
operating stability.
5.15 - Motor cooling valve control
The temperature of the motor windings is controlled to a set-
point of 82°C. This is achieved by cycling of the motor cooling
valves to allow the liquid refrigerant to flow across the motor
windings, if necessary. On units equipped with economizers
with plate heat exchangers, a thermostatic valve controls the
necessary refrigerant flow entering this heat exchanger and
continuously flowing over the motor windings. All refrigerant
used for motor cooling returns to the rotors through an orifice
situated mid-way along the compression cycle and is
compressed to the discharge pressure.
5.16 - Head pressure control on air-cooled units
The saturated condensing temperature is controlled by reference
to a fixed setpoint (user-definable in the Setpoints menu). This
temperature is maintained by cycling fans on and off, as well as
by varying the speed of a fan.
NOTE: Certain units can have up to 8 fan stages, of which
one per circuit is a variable speed fan, depending on their
configuration and wiring.
5.17 - Head pressure control on water-cooled units
The saturated condensing temperature is controlled by reference
to a user-definable fixed setpoint.
This temperature is maintained by using the valve to control
the flow of water in each condenser circuit.
5.18 - Head pressure setpoint selection
There are two head pressure setpoints available: the first is called
“head pressure setpoint” and the second “reclaim setpoint”.
These setpoints only have an effect when the control system is
controlling head pressure: air or water-cooled units operating in
cooling mode (only when they are fitted with condenser water
valves).
The active setpoint can be selected in one of the following
ways:
• With item 5 of the information menu.
• With a volt-free selection contact connected to the customer
terminal block when the unit is in Remote operating type
(rEM). See section 3.4, description of the control contacts.
• With a network command when the unit is in CCN opera-
ting type (CCn).
5.19 - High pressure load shedding function
This function does not require an additional board. It prevents
high pressure breaks on a circuit by the following means:
• Preventing any capacity increase on the circuit once the
high pressure value has reached an initial threshold.
• Shedding one or more capacity stages once a second
protection threshold has been reached.
In the event of capacity stages being shed, no capacity increase
will be authorised on the circuit concerned for a period of 5
minutes.
NOTE: The last capacity stage cannot be shed by this protec-
tion function. An alarm is activated, if the high pressure is
still too high.
5.20 - High current load shedding function
This function does not require an additional board. It prevents
high current breaks on each compressor by the following
means:
• Preventing any capacity increase on the compressor once
the high current value has reached an initial threshold
• Shedding one or more capacity stages once a second
protection threshold has been reached.
In the event of capacity stages being shed, no capacity increase
will be authorised on the circuit concerned for a period of 5
minutes.
5.21 - Start-up procedure - prelubrication
This procedure describes the necessary procedures to ensure
the lubrication of the compressor before start-up.
The control follows the sequence below:
For the lead compressor (the first compressor in the circuit to
start):
1. Start the oil pump and measure the initial oil pressure.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
3. Verify the oil solenoid valve tightness, i.e.: if oil pressure
increases and the solenoid valve is not open, the oil
solenoid valve failure alarm is activated and prelubrica-
tion is stopped. The procedure is aborted.
4. If not, the oil solenoid valve is activated.
5. Wait approximately 15 seconds.
6. If oil pressure increases, prelubrication is assured and the
compressor can start.
7. If not, a further prelubrication cycle is started. Return to
point 1.
NOTE: After three cycles, the low oil pressure alarm at pre
start-up is acctivated, and prelubrication is also stopped.
For the lag compressor (one compressor in the circuit is already
in operation).
1. Activate the oil solenoid valve.
2. Wait approximately 15 seconds.
3. If oil pressure increases, prelubrication is assured and the
compressor can now start.
4. If not, the low oil pressure at start-up alarm is activated
and the prelubrication is also stopped.
5.22 - Master/slave assembly
Two PRO-DIALOG Plus units can be linked to produce a master/
slave assembly. The two machines are interconnected over the
CCN bus. All parameters required for the master/slave function
must be configured through the Service configuration menu.
