• Aquaforce with Greenspeed® Intelligence is equipped with an RS485 serial port that offers multiple remote control, monitoring and diagnostic possibilities. When networked with other Carrier equipment through the CCN (Carrier Comfort Network – proprietary protocol), all components form a HVAC system fully-integrated and balanced through one of the Carrier’s network system products, like the Chiller System anager or the Plant System anager (optional)
• The 30XWZE/30XWPZE also communicates with other building management systems via optional communication gateways (BACnet, LON or JBus).
• The following commands/visualisations are possible from remote connection:
  – Start/Stop of the machine
  – Dual set-point management: Through a dedicated contact is possible to activate a second set-point (example, unoccupied mode)
  – Demand limit setting: To limit the maximum chiller capacity to a predefined value
  – Water pump control: These outputs control the contactors of one/two evaporator water pumps.
  – Water pumps changeover (only with hydraulic module options):
  These contacts are used to detect a water pump operation fault and automatically change over to the other pump.
  – Operation visualisation: ndication if the unit is operating or if it is in stand-by (no cooling load).
  – Alarm visualisation.

Remote management (EMM option)

– Demand limit 1 and 2: Closing of these contacts limits the maximum chiller capacity to two predefined values.
– User safety: This contact can be used for any customer safety loop; opening the contact generates a specific alarm.
– Ce storage end: When ice storage has finished, this input permits return to the second set-point (unoccupied mode).
– Time schedule override: Closing of this contact cancels the programmed time schedule.
– Out of service: This signal indicates that the chiller is completely out of service.
– Chiller capacity: This analogue output (0-10 gives an immediate indication of the chiller capacity.
– Alert indication: This volt-free contact indicates the necessity to carry out a maintenance operation or the presence of a minor fault.
– Compressors running status: Set of outputs (as many as the compressors number) indicating which compressors are running

06T screw compressor

The Carrier 06T screw compressor designed for operation with HFO-1234ze and R-515B refrigerant benefits from Carrier’s long experience in the development of twin-rotor screw compressors. The compressor is equipped with bearings with oversized rollers, oil pressure lubricated for reliable and durable operation, even at maximum load.

A variable control valve controlled by the oil pressure permits infinitely variable cooling capacity. This system allows optimal adjustment of the compressor cooling capacity and ensures exceptionally high stability of the chilled water leaving temperature.

Among the other advantages: if a fault occurs e.g. if the condenser is fouled or at very high water temperature, the compressor does not switch off, but continues operation with a reduced capacity (unloaded mode).
The silencer in the discharge line considerably reduces discharge gas pulsations for much quieter operation.

The condenser includes an oil separator that minimises the amount of oil in circulation in the refrigerant circuit and re-directs it to the compressor function.
