CONTROL OF COMPRESSORS
Function
The compressors are started up and stopped in the order which avoids the anti-short cycle, as far as possible,
and evens out their operating times..
Description
F Start-up and stopping order for compressors
This order is determined by a “FIFO” (first in, first out) rule. This function incorporates the automatic,
instantaneous recording of a priority compressor which has become unavailable
F Compressor start-up and stopping
The compressor COMPmn starts up if all the following conditions are satisfied :
ð The water circulation pump received the order to operate at least 1 minute earlier.
ð The on / off switch for circuit n is ON (MAARn = 1).
ð The machine is available (DISPOM = 1).
ð Circuit n is available (DISPOCn = 1).
ð Compressor mn is available (DISPOmn = 1).
ð The regulation thermostat THER is greater than the number of compressors in service.
ð COMPmn is the compressor defined by the FIFO rule as the next one to start up.
ð COMPmn is not in anti-short cycle (ACCmn = 1).
The compressor COMPmn stops if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied :
ð The remote on / off switch for the machine is OFF (MAARD = 0).
ð The on / off switch for circuit n is OFF (MAARn = 0).
ð The machine is unavailable (DISPOM = 0).
ð Circuit n is unavailable (DISPOCn = 0).
ð Compressor mn is unavailable (DISPOmn = 0).
ð The regulation thermostat THER is less than the number of compressors in service and COMPmn is the
compressor defined by the FIFO rule as the next one to be stopped.
