blockEnableDevices

Enable devices when plants is enabled in chiller mode or waterside economizer mode

Information

It controls the devices when the chiller plant is enabled in chiller mode or waterside economizer mode. It is implemented as provided in sections 5.20.2.4, section a and b.

  1. Open the isolation valves,
    • If the plant is enabled in waterside economizer mode, open the condenser water isolation valve of the waterside economizer. This control is implemented in Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Plants.Chillers.Economizers.Controller.
    • If the plant is enabled in chiller mode, open the chilled water isolation valve and the condenser water isolation valve of the lead chiller.
  2. Stage on lead primary chilled water pump, condenser water pump, and cooling tower respectively.
  3. If the plant is enabled in chiller mode, once the lead pumps are proven on, enable lead chiller.
