Multi-Objective Limit Arbitration
There are many objectives that the
controller must meet, but it cannot
satisfy more than one objective at a
time. Typically, the controllers primary
objective is to maintain the evaporator
leaving-water temperature.
Whenever the controller senses that it
can no longer meet its primary
objective without triggering a
protective shutdown, it focuses on the
most critical secondary objective.
When the secondary objective is no
longer critical, the controller reverts to
its primary objective.
Fast Restart
While the inlet guide vanes are closing,
the controller will allow the centrifugal
chiller to restart and going to a
postlube operational mode. If the
chiller shuts down on a nonlatching
diagnostic, the diagnostic has 3060
seconds to clear itself and initiate a fast
restart. This includes momentary
power losses.
