7.5 Temperature regulation


The temperature regulation is the unit main function. There are two regulation types:
• Neutral zone
• PID
For both, the temperature of one of the following probes, if enabled, can be selected as setpoint:
• -BEWIT
• -BEWOT
• -BTWOT
The setpoint selected is compared with the setpoint and differential values set on the display (see “7.6 Setpoint management”) and the number of compressors, or
capacity controls (see “7.7 Compressors”) to be activated is calculated on the basis of the result of the type of regulation selected.

7.5.2 PI D r e g u l a ti o n
In PID regulation the reference temperature is controlled by means of a Proportional + Integral + Derivative action in accordance with PID regulation logic.
Regulation therefore depends on the contribution of three parameters:
• proportional action: acts on the system's promptness of response; increasing it reduces the error in normal operation but makes the unit less
stable;
• integral action: eliminates all error in normal operation but tends to make the unit less stable;
• derivative action: increases the unit's damping and stability, to it enhances the effects of the other two actions (with their respective benefits)

7.7.5 Comp res sor capacity c ontrols


Capacity controls may be installed depending on the type of compressors in the unit. There may be from 1 to 3 capacity controls in a compressor, providing more
than one temperature control step on the same compressor. Capacity control is possible on screw and piston models. Each capacity control corresponds to a
different level of chilling power. When one capacity control is installed, it corresponds to a refrigeration power of 50% of the compressor's total power. If two
capacity controls are installed, the corresponding refrigeration power levels may be 50%-75% or 33%-66% depending on the compressor model. With three
capacity controls, the corresponding power levels are 25%-50%-75%. A pulsing valve may also be installed, depending on the compressor model. The capacity
controls may be operated on one of the logics described below, depending on the model of compressor to be controlled.

7.7.6 St e p l e s s c o m p r e s s o r s
If the unit contains screw compressors, the compressors may be set to operate in stepless mode.

7.7.6.1 Temperature regulation logic


The compressor's capacity is controlled by means of the digital outputs of the electronic controller, which are activated and deactivated to increase and decrease
the compressor's power by varying the capacity of its compression chamber. The compressor's power is controlled by supplying pulses to the capacity control
valves which direct compressor loading and unloading. The pulses are of specified duration, with a time interval between them which can be varied on a
proportional basis, as described in the graph below, and is always between a maximum and a minimum value. Since in general there is no feedback concerning
the absolute position of the compressor's quality control spool and since direct verification of the percentage of power delivered to the circuit is therefore not
possible, the number of pulses sent to the compressor is monitored. When a given pulse threshold is reached, the compressor is considered to be fully loaded/
unloaded and monitoring of the capacity control pulses is therefore suspended.
When the maximum number of opening pulses is reached, the capacity control outputs switch to the power stand-by configuration. If the temperature remains in
the 100% power zone, a forced loading cycle is triggered at preset intervals.

EN As the graph shows, when the temperature is within the dead zone, the valves are set to the capacity holding position. When it is above the dead zone, the control
starts an increase in refrigeration power by delivering constant pulses with pause times between pulses which increase in length as the dead zone is approached.
The same principle applies to the unloading valve.

compressors
Heat unloading and recovery are carried out by reducing the compressor's capacity using the capacity control This is done by sending power down pulses. The
number of pulses sent is sufficient to reduce the compressor to 75% of its power. Valve reversal for defrosting takes place without compressor power-down or
capacity reduction.
The manual procedure is the same as for normal step screw compressors.

7.7.7 C ompresso r o il recov ery


The compressor only recovery procedure can only be enabled in units with 3 compressors per circuit. It allows one compressor within a circuit to be powered
down for an adjustable time when all the compressors installed are in operation. This equalises oil distribution between the compressors in the circuit. It is
possible to select the compressor to be powered down and the maximum time for which the compressors may operate simultaneously before the procedure is
activated. A delay can also be set between activations of the procedure in different circuits.

the display. If the evaporation pressure remains below the setpoint, after a preset maximum time the compressor remains on regardless and a warning appears on
the display (see “7.20 Alarms”). The warning resets automatically at the next correct start-up (within the maximum time). The pump-down differential is
permanently set at 0.5 bar.

• Unloading by low temperature: can be enabled (heat pump only) - on the unit;
• Unloading by high pressure: always present - on the circuits;
• Unloading by high pressure in heat pump: can be enabled - on the circuits;
• Unloading by low pressure: always present - on the circuits.
If the unloading condition is no longer true, when the compressor restarts the compressors minimum time intervals are observed.

Unloading always present in the unit, with no disabling possible.
It affects every single circuit and depends on the circuit's condensation pressure.
Having defined an unloading setpoint, differential and time, if the condensing pressure measured on one circuit is higher than or equal to the setpoint, the
unloading function is activated on the circuit and therefore one compressor is stopped or its capacity is controlled, depending on the type of compressor
exclusively on the circuit in question.
The unloading function is deactivated only if the condensing pressure falls below and remains below the unloading setpoint for a preset time or if it falls below
setpoint - diff.
In this case, the compressor which is unloading is reactivated, complying with its relative minimum time.

7.12 Fans
The unit can be supplied with one of the following fan types:
• Step controlled
• Step controlled with transformer
• Speed controlled
• Speed controlled with inverter
In all cases, the fans cannot start unless at least one compressor in the circuit of reference is in operation. The circuit of reference is the circuit connected to the
fans on the basis of the fan configuration (see “7.17.2 Operating logic”). In chiller mode operation, the fans are controlled in relation to the condensation
pressure in the circuit of reference.
For heat pump mode, operation at maximum power with at least one compressor on in the unit, or in response to the evaporation temperature, is required.

7.13 Pumps
The unit may be fitted with one or two pumps. The pumps are controlled with activation of one of the two at unit power-up, depending on the rotation logic set.
The pumps rotation logic is as follows:
• None
• Manual: the pump to be started can be selected on the display;
• By starts: at each unit start-up a different pump is started with respect to the pump that was running at the last shut-down;
• By time: after exceeding a preset number of operating hours of a pump, the other pump starts running.
The pump changeover takes place after a simultaneous operating time set by a parameter;
• By starts and time: combination of the above two logics.
In the event of an overload alarm on the pump in operation, the other pump is automatically started. When the alarm is reset by the user with timed rotation set,
if necessary the pump will be restarted to complete its operating time. If an overload alarm occurs on both pumps the unit cuts out.
The pump stops after the unit is powered down, with a delay controlled by a parameter; the delay is overridden in the event of a unit alarm.
If the unit has just one pump, not rotation will be possible and the unit shuts down immediately in the event of an overload alarm.
The pumps installed in a unit can also be used for an anti-freeze function (see “7.13.1 Anti-freeze pumps”).

OUTLET

T1 T2 T1 T2 T1 T2

MINIMUM RECOVERY TIME MINIMUM RECOVERY OFF TIME

MINIMUM TIME BETWEEN TWO RECOVERY CYCLES

In the first and final moments of a recovery request, capacity control is applied to the circuit compressors and after a certain delay the recovery function is
activated/deactivated, in accordance with times T1 and T2.
Time T1 is the delay in activation/deactivation of the recovery function in relation to the request. The sum of times T1 and T2 is the duration of capacity control
of the compressors of the circuit involved in the heat recovery.
Heat recovery must comply with its minimum On, Off and consecutive recovery operation times.
The fans of the circuit concerned are deactivated during heat recovery. In the case of two circuits sharing a common row of fans, the fans are only deactivated if
recovery is in progress on both circuits; otherwise, they will continue to be operated in response to the pressure in the circuit not undergoing recovery.
If the circuit condensation pressure reaches the unloading threshold during recovery, recovery is halted and the unit returns to normal operation. Recovery may
be restarted once the pressure has dropped below a value set for reactivation after unloading.
If the unit contains a row of fans shared in common by two circuits, the fans are only forced to OFF if both circuits are undergoing heat recovery.
You can set by display one of the following heat recovery types:
• Total
• Partial - separate
• Partial - single
For each of the three types heat recovery can be controlled in two different ways:
• By digital inputs
• By temperature
The two control modes acquire different meanings depending on the type of recovery, as described below (see “7.15.1 Total heat recovery” - “7.15.2 Partial -
separate heat recovery” - “7.15.3 Partial - single heat recovery”).
In the case of control by temperature, the temperature used can be chosen from those measured by the following probes, if installed in the unit:

simultaneously until the reference temperature is above the Setpoint value.

If recovery is controlled by digital inputs, one digital input corresponds to each circuit. When the input is activated, the recovery request is triggered on the
corresponding circuit.
ENGLISH

With control by temperature, the Setpoint-Differential interval is divided into a number of steps equal to the number of circuits in the unit. At each step, recovery
is activated on one circuit, starting from the first and proceeding in numerical order.

7.15.3 Partial - single heat recovery


In the case of recovery started by digital inputs, recovery is activated on a number of circuits corresponding to the number of digital inputs active, regardless of
order, starting from the first circuit available, i.e. with at least one compressor active, therefore:
Digital input 1 active--> recovery on one available circuit
Digital input 2 active--> recovery on two available circuits
Digital input 3 active--> recovery on three available circuits
Digital input 4 active--> recovery on four available circuits

With control by temperature, the Setpoint-Differential interval is divided into a number of steps equal to the number of circuits in the unit. At each step, recovery
is activated on one circuit, starting from the first one available, i.e. with at least one compressor active.

7.16 Freecooling
Freecooling provides the facility to exploit ambient temperature, whenever possible, to cool the process water. By means of a modulating three-way valve the
water is transferred to a fan coil and cooled in a manner that is independent of or in addition to normal operation of the unit.

The function is activated when the following condition is fulfilled for a programmable time period (minutes):

−BAT < −BFCIT − ∆


where:
• -BAT is the temperature of the reference ambient probe (°C/°F);
• -BFCIT is the water temperature at the freecooling coil inlet (°C/°F);
• ∆ is the freecooling activation differential (°C/°F).
Similarly, freecooling is deactivated if the above condition is false for a programmable time (minutes).
The room temperature probe of reference can be selected from the following, if enabled:
• -BAT1;
• -BAT2;
• Average of -BAT1 and -BAT2
• Lower of -BAT1 and -BAT2
• Higher of -BAT1 and -BAT2

Freecooling can be activated only during operation of the unit in chiller mode.
If it is disabled, the unit operates like an ordinary chiller, i.e. without the water passing through the water-air heat exchanger. If the freecooling condition is true
when the unit is started, the pause for the programmable activation delay does not take place.
If the anti-freeze pump is activated (see “7.13.1 Anti-freeze pumps”) the three-way FC valve is opened completely so that ice formation is also prevented in the
freecooling bank.

It can be of three types:


• Separate
• Integrated
• Modular
Regardless of its type, freecooling can be temporarily deactivated from the display, allowing the unit to be used like an ordinary chiller.

The following types of freecooling can be enabled, depending on the unit model:
• ARIES with 1 circuit: separate or integrated
• ARIES with 2 circuits: modular
• PHOENIX: modular
• GALAXY: modular

This strategy is used when the unit is physically equipped with the freecooling section (three-way valve and exchanger coil) and it is controlled in a manner that
is integrated with rest of the unit.

General thermoregulation is forced to Neutral Zone mode. The three-way FC valve is opened and then all the FC fans are started, and the compressors are started
only when the entire FC section (valve + fans) is activated.
The logic is reversed during shut-down, so first the compressors are stopped, then the FC fans, and finally the three-way FC valve is closed.
In this mode the first “cooling steps” to be activated and the last to be deactivated are always those characterised by lower power consumption.
The freecooling section is utilised as a series of “cooling steps” to be employed together with the unit's compressors in accordance with the Neutral Zone
regulation logic.

With at least one compressor on and freecooling active, the fans are always all activated.
From 1 to 4 fan operating steps can be chosen for freecooling.
Fan speed control
As long as the reference temperature is > Set+Diff, the speed of the unit's FC fans increases by a programmable percentage with a delay (starting from the
minimum fan rotation percentage which can be set). Percentage and delay can be programmed by display.
If the reference temperature is < Set+Diff the speed of the unit's FC fans is decreased by a percentage with a delay.
The percentage and delay can be programmed on the display. When the minimum speed is reached, the fans are completely off.
With at least one compressor on and freecooling active, the fans are always all operating at 100%.
In the band between Set and Set+Diff, the fans are activated at intervals equal to the compressor activation lag in the neutral zone, if the valve is completely
open.

7.16.3 Modular Freecooling


This function can be enabled when external freecooling modules are connected. The operating logic is the same as for the integral freecooling system.
The maximum number of modules that can be connected to the unit is 6.

The modules receive the same three-way valve opening value, the same rotation speed for the fans controlled, and instructions to activate the same fan step
number.
The freecooling reference temperature is the average temperature measured by the freecooling probes in the modules. If a module is not connected to the unit or
has a freecooling probe faulty or disconnected alarm, a warning appears on the display. The module operates in local mode and the average temperature is
calculated using the number of modules available. If all the modules are not connected or have a freecooling probe faulty or disconnected alarm, freecooling is
deactivated and the unit operates as an ordinary chiller.
If a module has a fan or pump overload or water differential pressure switch alarm, the average temperature is calculated using the same number of modules. If
all the have fan or pump overload or water differential pressure switch alarms, freecooling is deactivated and the unit operates as an ordinary chiller.
The same warning on the display indicates that at least one or all of the modules have one of the above alarms.
It is not possible to connect one or more freecooling modules to a unit which has integral or separate freecooling.

7.17 Defrost
The unit automatically enables the defrost function during operation in heat pump mode. One of the following two types of defrost can be set on the display:
• Independent: in defrost conditions each circuit activates the procedure irrespective of the status of the other circuits;
• Separate: each of the unit's circuits may switch to defrost mode only if no other circuit is already defrosting. Otherwise the circuit will switch
to defrost mode when the other circuits finish defrosting. If several defrost requests occur they will be managed on a queue basis, with
defrosting activated in the circuits in the order of the requests.
A limit on the number of defrosts performed on a single circuit within one hour can be set from the display. If the limit exceeds a warning message will be
displayed in ALARM menu (see “5.2.5 ALARM menu”).

7.17.2 Operating logic


If one of the two defrost conditions is true, the following procedure is triggered:
• Cycle valve inversion: this occurs with a programmable delay after the start of the defrost. Operation of the compressors during inversion can
be set from the display, selecting one of the following modes:
- compressors all off;
- compressors as in thermostatic control;
- compressors with capacity control: if all circuit compressors are on, one thermostatic control step is deactivated.
The compressor status is defined at the first moment of the defrost procedure.
• Compressor activation for defrost: all the circuit compressors are activated for a programmed time, with a delay after cycle inversion and with
a programmed delay between two start-ups (see “7.7.3 Compressor activation times”).
• Draining: at the end of the defrost, the cycle inversion valve is inverted with the same delay as for the first inversion. Operation of the
compressors in this stage is as in the first inversion. The duration of the draining phase is programmable; it starts after inversion of the valve
and the defrost ends when it ends (the compressors switch on in accordance with the thermostatic control). If the compressor operating mode
during inversion is set as all compressors off, the fans are forced to maximum power during draining.
During defrost, the fans are activated with a certain delay after the compressors. The fan activation setpoints during defrosting are the same as the low-noise
operation setpoints in chiller mode.
At the end of the three phases, and at each new circuit switch-on, MTD defrosting is disabled for a programmable time.
In the case of two circuits sharing a common row of fans, separate defrost cannot be selected (see “7.17 Defrost”) and if a defrost request is received on one of the two, the
other circuit will also switch to defrost mode.
The duration of the defrost is calculated from the start of the procedure.

7.18 Log
The system is able to record the operating values at the time when an alarm occurs and save the moments when a power supply alarm is tripped and reset.
The information is recorded in the two following logs:
• Alarms log;
• Power log.

7.18.1 Alarms log


The main operating data such as the temperature and pressure probe readings at the moment when an alarm is tripped are recorded and can be viewed on the
display. The maximum number of alarms which can be recorded is 300, after which the least recent alarms are overwritten by the new ones.
The information in the log is as follows:
• Date and time of the alarm;
• Description and code of the alarm;
• Temperature/pressure readings of all enabled probes;
• Super-heat and step from EEVs present in unit.
The alarms log can be reset from the display by accessing the reserved menu with a constructor or service password when the unit is switched off.

7.19 Special functions
The unit includes a number of special functions which can be enabled during configuration or from the display. In the former case, these functions require non-
standard physical configuration; in the latter case they can be activated in any configuration.
The special functions are described below.

7.19.1 Airbatic
The Airbatic function can be enabled at the time of unit configuration and only in air-water units (see “7.12 Fans”).
The function controls a solenoid valve by means of a digital output of the electronic controller, which is activated if:
1. All the circuits on the unit have reached 100% of their cooling capacity;
2. At least one of the condensing pressure values of the circuits in the unit has reached a programmed setpoint value;
3. The average temperature of the room probes has reached a programmed setpoint value;
4. The average temperature of the thermoregulation probe has reached a programmed setpoint value.
The solenoid valve is managed with minimum activation and deactivation times.
In the case of unloading or minimum compressor off times in progress, the Airbatic function should only be run if the conditions for its activation are met.
The function can only be activated with the unit on. If the unit is off or switches to alarm status with Airbatic in progress, it is interrupted.
An icon in the main mask indicates that the function has been enabled in the unit.

7.19 .2 Boiler
The Boiler function is enabled from the display of chiller + heat pump units, and it consists in the facility, during operation in heat pump mode, to switch on one
or more remote heaters or a water boiler to integrate/replace the unit. The two operating modes configurable from the display are described below.

7.19.2.1 Integrated control


The Boiler function is activated when the average temperature of the room probes is below a programmed setpoint and if the temperature of the thermoregulation
probe is below another programmed setpoint. In this case, the heaters or boiler are switched on and they remain on until room temperature increases to above the
setpoint plus a differential value. During activation of the function the unit continues to perform its normal thermoregulation functions.

7.19.2.2 Separate control


The Boiler function is activated when the average temperature of the room probes is below a programmed setpoint and if the temperature of the thermoregulation
probe is below another programmed setpoint. In this case, the heaters or boiler are switched on and they remain on until room temperature increases to above the
setpoint plus a differential. During activation of the function the unit suspends its normal thermoregulation functions.

7.19 .7 Tande m EN
The Tandem function can be enabled from the display for Aries configuration only.
This function makes it possible to operate the two compressors of the two circuits simultaneously, i.e. the circuits are never capacity controlled and the unit

ENGLISH
effectively operates as though it had two temperature control steps. Enabling of Tandem results in the following forcing strategies:
• circuits rotation logic by saturation and fixed compressors rotation logic (see “7.7.2 Compressor operating logic”);
• disabling of pump-down at start-up and shut-down (see “7.8 Freon solenoid valve and pump-down”).
After having been enabled, the function is activated in accordance with a programmed temperature setpoint and a selected reference temperature. The reference
temperature can be selected from among the following probes, assuming they are enabled:
• BEWIT
• BEWOT
• BTWOT
If the temperature falls below the setpoint, Tandem mode is activated and the compressors on the same circuit are started/stopped simultaneously. The function
is deactivated when the condition set from the display, which can be selected from among the two following conditions, becomes true:
• With differential: Tandem mode ceases when the reference temperature increases to above a Setpoint+Diff value;
• By time: Tandem mode ceases after a preset time irrespective of the temperature value.
An icon in the main mask indicates that the function has been enabled in the unit.

The special low temperature function is enabled from the display and it makes it possible to edit several parameters during low temperature operation. If the
regulation temperature is lower, for a preset time, than a programmed setpoint, the values of the following parameters are replaced with the values relative to low
temperature operation:
• High pressure alarm setpoint and differential
• High pressure unloading activation setpoint
• High superheating setpoint
• PID parameters and dead zone of the solenoid valves PID control.
Modification of the parameters occurs irrespective of the unit status (On, Off, alarm, etc.) while the parameter values for normal operation are restored if the
temperature rises above the activation setpoint.

Notes:
* Can be: unit warning-alarm except for pumps-unit alarm
+ Delayed with different time lags at start-up and in normal operation. Can be disabled in defrost
Apart from the fans alarms, deactivation of fans due to other alarms can depend on unit configuration;
The compressor overload alarms deactivate the entire circuit in which the compressor is installed;
The compressor oil level alarms can be used as an oil differential alarm with a 0 second trip delay.
(**) To lower the freeze protection setpoint, modify parameter AT03 and add a suitable amount of antifreeze solutions to the system. If in doubt, contact the
MTA after-sales service.
