Chiller controller

Information

This is a controller for the chiller system, which includes the dedicated condenser and evaporator pumps.

The system is enabled if any of the input control signals uHea or uCoo is true. When enabled,

  • the condenser and evaporator pumps are operated at constant speed, and
  • the condenser (resp. evaporator) mixing valve is modulated with a PI loop controlling the minimum (resp. maximum) inlet temperature.
