I checked out your web site and I am very interested in it the intro to chillers, but I noticed a good portion remains under construction? How often do you plan on adding material?

[@HVACTIME]

Awesome, would be great to have you a part of the community. Great question, I am adding a new lesson daily on average. At first I was trying to release full modules at a time but have found it much more consistent releasing daily. They will typically post before lunch except for Saturday.

Good afternoon, I have a question, what does the opening of the IGV depend on?

[@juliocastaneda9864]

@@jorgejaimes3147 igv is moved by the algorithm in the controller to keep leaving water temp at or very close to set point . Other things can influence how the far or locked in placed for the igv movement if a condition exists that exceeds the machines limits that would keep the IGV from moving to the desired position but that's protection for the machine we don't move those manually

[@bunnyman6321]

​@@juliocastaneda9864 What's igv?

[@juliocastaneda9864]

@@bunnyman6321 it's an abbreviation for inlet guide vanes. It's the vanes that control capacity on a machine like this. It can go up and down to modulate capacity. They open wide for machine to go to 100 capacity when the water temperature is far from the setpoint this makes the machine work harder when it reaches near the setpoint it closes somewhat the IGV to reduce capacity and stay close to the setpoint . It's capacity control of the unit. Kind of an unloader on a recip compressor or multi stage cooling and heating

1st year apprentice here, working for a commercial/industrial company. Today I punched tubes for the first time, on a carrier. One thing I like todo at the end of the day is search for educational content on what I did that day. And today I found your video, thanks for the knowledge my friend 🙏 🤑

[@HVACTIME]

intro to chillers course launching at chilleracademy.com on Monday! welcome to the industrial side!

[@vickiesrag]

Can you explain why we loose capacity with the Economizer? I brought it up some I was told I was wrong but didn’t have enough info to explain it. Somebody help lol

[@kevinmithnick9993]

Maybe because you are using compressor power to cool The refrigerant, not the water the chiller is intended to. The term "less capacity" refers to total cooling capacity available to chill the water Like in a car for example, you use engine power to run auxiliaries like alternator, coolant pump...

[@jorgitomarquez]

I am a mechanical engineer and this is a great explanation full of practical tips. Thank you!

[@brandonwalker4842]

One thing. . Oil don’t sit on the bottom of the evap it floats on top of the refrigerant. Which is why under light loads we don’t get oil return back because there is no aggressive boiling breaking the oil out of the refrigerant. I would be interested to know actually how far that secondary oil return line goes up into evap?

[@gordonrockafellow1211]

The reason that the oil tank is heated is to keep liquid refrigerant from draining or condensing into the oil tank. Liquid refrigerant is heavier than oil and would cover the electric oil pump intake, feed refrigerant instead of oil on start up, destroying the bearings. The oil pressure control doesn't know difference in liquid refrigerant from oil.

[@josezavalazavala7864]

Hello what are the symptoms of a overcharged chiller?

[@MR-backup]

Good question.

[@kevinmithnick9993]

I think it depends of the type of compressor, expansion device.... In general higher than normal condenser pressures followed by high current possibly tripping alarms for those reasons Particularities in each machine, for example, chillers using exv's you could see control tendency to close the valve more than normal (rthd, rtwd, ylaa, cgam, 30rap) Yk,s you could see control trying to close orifice beyond setpoint Others like ycav fill valve fighting with high subcooling.... If that's the case a good idea is to recover refrigerant in vapor fase only...

[@genegonzalez4713]

Daikin has developed a system that practically eliminates surging, one of the things they,ve added is a checkvalve on de discharge of the compressor, this counteracts the reverse flow that comes from the condenser back towards the compressor discharge. as we all know surge is when the condenser pressure is greater than discharge pressure this phenomenon is synonimous with surge

[@genegonzalez4713]

Usually surge is agravated by two things; a poor cooling tower performance [tower effectiveness, not adequate] meaning that the tower is undersized for that given moment and time, tower operating outside of the design approach. Also a deficit or lower then normal flow within the condenser shell. This increase in pressure within the condenser shell, overcomes compressor discharge pressure / Surge

[@MelonBopper]

There is definitely more things that could cause a surge, especially on these chillers. All depends on if you're talking about a high end surge or a low end surge.

How to video?

[@rupertstaana3382]

Another great content! Is my understanding correct for how lowering CHWS set point causes a drop in chiller cooling capacity. For AFD controlled compressor, - chws set point is lowered, - compressor speed increases - increased refrigerant discharge volume to condenser - Liquid refrigerant builds up in condenser - Head pressure increases on first flash plate - Increased subcooling and increased flashed ref gas. - Decreased volume of liquid refrigerant returning to evaporator and increased flashed gas to economiser. Am I getting it right? Thanks!

[@HVACTIME]

Correct. Lower the setpoint the less total capacity it will carry. And become more inefficient.

[@rupertstaana3382]

[@HVACTIME]

@@rupertstaana3382 here to help

[@OTHG6v]

Liquid decreases in the condenser due to density at colder temps, speed increase to compensate for the volume available. On a normal machine that has a txv sub cooling will decrease.

[@OTHG6v]

Compression ratios matter. Orifice doesn’t care….. txv, exv or float all is related to lift.

[@kevinmithnick9993]

To my understanding the first generation of ymc2's came with all the load control strategies available: prv, vgd (yes, also used for load control), vsd. Then they decide to skip some of those Maybe they found that vsd+Vgd is enough for load and surge control

How do you gain subcooling from flashing?

In the same way sweat takes heat from your body by evaporating. When the flash happens the gas pulls heat from the liquid dropping the subcool temp.

Its okay, its mission critical, your stuff has to just work & keeping a fine healthy relationship with the techs working on it for a living gives full sense of comfort, unlike those simply shilling for products on YT, this is a major indication of trust when it comes to equipment like this and word gets around very fast in the trades.
