Maximum Load T2:
54 – 44 = 10º F (12.2 – 6.7 = 5.5º C)
Maximum Load P2:
120 – 37 = 83 psid (827 – 255 = 572 kPad)
To avoid unnecessary surge prevention, add about 10 psid
(70 kPad) to P2 from these conditions:
T2 = 10º F (5.5º C)
P2 = 93 psid (642 kPad)
Calculate Minimum Load
— To calculate the minimum load
conditions, estimate the temperature difference the cooler will
have at 10% load, then estimate what the suction and condens-
ing temperatures will be at this point. Use the proper saturated
pressure and temperature for the particular refrigerant used.
Suction Temperature:
43 F (6.1 C) = 38 psig (262 kPa) saturated
refrigerant pressure (HFC-134a)
Condensing Temperature:
70 F (21.1 C) = 71 psig (490 kPa) saturated
refrigerant pressure (HFC-134a)
Minimum Load T1 (at 20% Load): 2 F (1.1 C)
Minimum Load P1:
71 – 38 = 33 psid (490 – 262 = 228 kPad)
Again, to avoid unnecessary surge prevention, add 20 psid
(140 kPad) at P1 from these conditions:
T1 = 2 F (1.1 C)
P1 = 53 psid (368 kPad)
Calculate Surge/ HGBP Delta Tsmin
— Convert design suc-
tion temp to pressure using an R-134a pressure/temperature
chart.
Min. Cond. Pressure = (suction pressure) + (ΔP minimum)
Convert Min. Cond. Pressure to Min. Cond. Temperature
using a saturation pressure/temperature chart for R-134a.
Surge / HGBP Tsmin = (Min. Cond. Temp.) – (design suc-
tion temperature)
Calculate Surge/ HGBP Delta Tsmax
Max. Cond. Pressure = (suction pressure) + (ΔP maximum)
Convert Max. Cond. Pressure to Max. Cond. Temperature
using a saturation pressure/temperature chart for R-134a.
Surge / HGBP Tsmax = (Max. Cond. Temp) – (design suc-
tion temperature)
VPF Surge Prevention Configurations are defined as
follows:
• Surge/HGBP Delta Tsmin is the minimum difference
between cooler and condenser saturation temperatures.
(See Fig. 36.)
• Surge/HGBP IGVmin is the lowest position of the guide
vanes that affects Surge prevention. This is not likely to
require adjustment at the jobsite other than to ensure that
it matches the value supplied with the machine selection.
These values produce the minimum load point of the Surge
Prevention line:
• Surge/HGBP Delta Tsmax is the maximum difference
between cooler and condenser saturation temperatures.
(See Fig. 37.)
• Surge/HGBP IGVmax is the highest position of the
guide vanes that affects Surge prevention. This is not
likely to require adjustment at the jobsite other than to
ensure that it matches the value supplied with the
machine selection.
NOTE: The preceding two values produce the full load point
of the surge prevention line.
• Surge Line Shape Factor determines the curvature of the
line mainly in the low load zone. (See Fig. 38.)
• Surge Line Speed Factor determines how much the surge
line moves to accommodate lower compressor speed. As
compressor speed drops the ΔT values on the surge pre-
vention line decrease. Increasing the Speed Factor causes
Surge Prevention to activate sooner as the compressor
speed drops. (See Fig. 39.)
• Surge Line High Offset determines the ΔT increase
beyond the surge prevention line where the high stage of
Surge Prevention takes effect. The high stage produces
larger RPM increase steps. This is not likely to require
adjustment at the jobsite other than to ensure that it
matches the value supplied with the machine selection
• Surge/HGBP Deadband controls the amount the ACTIVE
DELTA TSAT must drop below the Surge Prevention to
de-activate Surge Prevention.
