Minimum/recommended water
content
The water volume is an important parameter because it
permit several things:
1. It avoids short cycle operation of the compressors.
Parameters which influence the minimum
compressor running time
− Water loop volume
− Load fluctuation
− Number of capacity steps
− Compressors rotation
− Dead band (adjustable on unit controller)
− Minimum running time of a compressor
2. On both chilled and hot water loops, it permits to
smooth water temperature fluctuations leaving the
CMAF unit whilst a circuit transitions from a mode to
another.
3. On hot water loop it permits to keep a leaving
temperature hot enough when defrosting cycles
occur :
− Assures the unit to defrost both circuits in a row
− Assures continuous operation and to run
Exchangers the most effective way.
For chilled water loop, the minimum water content shall
be in accordance with point 1.
For hot water loop, the minimum water content shall be
the maximum of recommendations #1 and #2.
1. Avoid short-cycles
For comfort application, we can allow water temperature
fluctuation at part load. The parameter to take into
account is the minimum operating time of the
compressor. In order to avoid lubrication problem on a
scroll compressor it must run at least 2 minutes
(120 seconds) before it stops.
The minimum volume can be determined by using the
following formula:
Volume =
With :
• Maximum unit capacity (kW) at full load
• time (seconds),120s minimum operating time
• step
high
(%),
• specific heat (kJ/kg) e.g.4.18 for water
• dead band (K) (default value see Table 9)

Note: To estimate the capacity, it is recommended
to make a selection at full load according ambient
temperature which the needs are the lowest and the unit
cooling/heating capacities the highest, e.g.
• The lowest ambient air temperature for cooling
mode
• The highest ambient air temperature for heat pump
mode.
It is also essential to take into account the brine specific
heat, in case of the use of glycol refer to Table 6.
Process applications will need more water volume to
minimize the water temperature fluctuation at part load.
2. Coil defrosting
When the unit is running in heat pump mode with
ambient air temperature below +7°C coils may be subject
to ice formation. The unit controller can initiate a defrost
cycle to melt the ice in order to recover a reasonable
capacity.
In case ambient air will not drop below +7°C
recommendations below do not apply.
The leaving temperature may be colder during few
minutes defrosting and shall be mixed into a buffer tank.
