GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Close Control
The Airedale range of direct expansion and chilled water close control units have been specifically designed
for today's modern working environment. The present day demands for efficient operation of computer rooms,
telecommunication centres, operating theatres, laboratories and clean rooms, which utilise stand-alone or
multiple in room air handling units, require a high degree of control flexibility. The Airedale design philosophy
has taken this fully into account offering an adaptable control system, utilising a microprocessor controller
taking full advantage of the latest state of the art technology.
The control system comprises 2 main parts, the controller and the display keypad. The controller offers
powerful analogue and digital control to meet a wide range of monitoring and control features including a real
time clock and pLAN network connection. The display keypad is used for viewing the unit operating status and
making adjustments to control parameters by allowing the operator access to a series of display pages. Visual
alarm and the facility to adjust and display control settings are available at the display keypad for local
operator information and control.
The microprocessor controller is supplied pre-programmed whilst allowing the control parameters to be
individually set to suit the customers requirements.

CONTROL MANAGEMENT
The control strategy has been designed to encompass the following control features for standalone or
grouped operation:
1, 2 or 3 stages of Direct Expansion (DX) Cooling
Modulated Free Cooling
Chilled Water Cooling
Low Pressure Hot Water Heating
1, 2 or 3 stages of Electric Heating
Variable Output Humidifier
Dehumidification by DX Control
Dehumidification by Modulating Chilled water valve
6.1
FREE COOLING
Free cooling is only initiated if the glycol temperature is 1C below the return air temperature and the glycol
temperature is above the glycol low temperature limit, usually set to 6C.
DX cooling will only be initiated on glycol free cooling units when the glycol free cooling valve is greater 95%
and disabled when the glycol free cooling valve is lower than 95% open for more than 1 minute. Glycol free
cooling will always take preference over DX cooling.
6.2
6.2.1
COMPRESSOR MANAGEMENT
Compressor Anti-cycle Sequence
Limiting the number of starts per hour will protect the compressors. This is achieved by limiting the
consecutive start up of a compressor, i.e. if the compressor has been on then stops, it will not be allowed to
start again until compressor off time has elapsed.
On start-up and power restart there is a compressor start delay time, after evaporator fan airflow switch is
healthy, and a time delay between compressor inter-stages.

HEATING
General
If the return air temperature is less than the return air setpoint, the controller will select heating to satisfy the
heating requirement of the room. When the return air temperature is greater than room setpoint, heating will
be sequenced off.
On start-up and power restart there is a heating start delay time, after main fan airflow switch is healthy.
6.3.2
Overheat Cut-out
Each stage of electric heating is provided with an auto reset cut-out and a manual reset cut-out. The cut-outs
are normally closed contacts which are wired in series to a single overheat cut-out input on the controller. The
auto cut-out is designed to trip first and will cause the controller to switch off all stages of electric heat and
generate an alarm. When the temperature drops sufficiently for the auto cut-out to reset and the contact has
closed, the heating will start when called for.
Should the manual reset overheat cut-out trip, an alarm will be generated and all stages of electric heat will be
switched off and remain off until the reset button on the manual overheat cut-out is pressed.
6.3.3
Heating Mode
There 3 options available; heaters, LPHW and thyristor heating. Factory set to suit heating option fitted.
6.3.4
Number of Heaters
When the heating mode is configured for heaters, up-to a maximum of 3 heating stages can be selected.
Factory set to suit number of heater stages fitted.
6.3.5
6.3.6
LPHW Heating
When the heating mode is configured for LPHW heating, digital outputs 4 (NO4) and 5 (NO5) are used to
provide a 3 point drive open / drive close control signals to the valve actuator.
6.3.7
Thyristor Heating
When the heating mode is configured for thyristor heating, analogue output 5 (Y5) is used to provide a 010Vdc control signal to the thyristor.

HUMIDIFICATION
General
If the return air humidity is less than the return air humidity setpoint, the controller will modulate the humidifier
to satisfy the humidification requirement of the room. When the return air humidity has increased to the return
air humidity setpoint, humidification output will be modulated down.
On start-up and power restart there is a humidifier start delay time, after main fan airflow switch is healthy.
6.4.2
Description of Operation
Below is a brief description of the algorithm resident in the Bios of the controller for the management of the
humidifier with an immersed electrode cylinder.
In immersed electrode humidifiers, the steam is produced by boiling the water contained in the cylinder. This
occurs by simply filling the cylinder with water, and powering the internal electrodes. Due to the Joule effect,
the current heats the water to the boiling point.
The current that runs through the electrodes in the hot water cylinder essentially depends on the voltage
applied to the electrodes, and the conductivity and the level of the water inside the cylinder.
The purpose of the algorithm is to maintain the current that runs through the electrodes at a reference value
such that the correct percentage of steam is produced, according to reading of the humidity probes and the
parameters set by the user.
During evaporation, the level of the water decreases and thus, to maintain the current constant, the cylinder
would need to be continuously filled with very small quantities of water.
To avoid this, it has been decided to maintain the current within a certain range of values around the reference
current, by repeated water fill/evaporation cycles.
As well as the level of water in the cylinder, the other factor that determines the intensity of the current
measured is the conductivity of the water inside the cylinder.
In fact, during the fill/evaporation cycles, the conductivity of the water tends to increase, due to an increase in
the concentration of the salts contained in the water.
The conductivity of the water inside the hot water cylinder is measured indirectly, by measuring the time taken
to complete an evaporation cycle.
This time is then compared against a reference (typical for each cylinder) and, if the value is lower, a certain
amount of water is drained (drain for dilution), and the cylinder is topped up with less conductive mains water.
The humidifier also features a conductivity meter, which measures the conductivity of the mains water that is
added to the cylinder. In the case of high conductivity of the supply water, the control algorithm first signals a
pre-alarm (that does not stop operation) and then, if necessary, an alarm (that stops operation). This is
essential to avoid adding excessively conductive water to the cylinder, which may compromise the correct
operation of the humidifier.
A further element of fundamental importance is the high level sensor, which detects the presence of water
or foam.
The high level electrodes can be activated for any of the following reasons:
complete filling of the hot water cylinder when the machine if off due to leaks in the fill valve
high water level when first filling the cylinder
high water level following the depletion of the cylinder due to fouling on the plates
formation of foam
In the first case, when the high level sensor is activated, the algorithm stops the operation of the unit and
signals a cylinder full alarm, while in the other 3 cases the humidifier responds by draining water so as to
decrease the level.
26
Close Control
ALPHACOOL
In the event of repeated activations of the high level sensor, the algorithm evaluates the possibility that the
causes may be due to the presence of foam. If after having completely washed the cylinder (complete draincomplete fill-complete drain), the high level sensor is activated again, the control signals a foam alarm (that
does not stop operation).
A crucial aspect in the operation of the humidifier is the control of any excess current input.
Whenever voltage is applied to the electrodes in the hot water cylinder after a period of inactivity, there may
be short yet intense peaks in current. Initially, in the event of excess current the algorithm responds
immediately by disconnecting power from the electrodes and performing a drain cycle. If the excess current
condition continues, the operation of the humidifier is stopped and the high current alarm is signalled.
The algorithm also controls how the drain cycles are performed, signalling a drain alarm if there is no
appreciable decrease in the current measured when the drain cycle starts.
Vice-versa, the no water alarm may be signalled if there is no appreciable increase in current while the
humidifier is filling with water.

DEHUMIDIFICATION
DX System
If the return air humidity is more than the return air humidity setpoint + dehumidification deadband,
compressor 1 will be switched on to satisfy the dehumidification requirement. When the return air humidity has
decreased to the return air humidity setpoint, compressor 1 will be switched off. On multiple circuits, if
compressor 1 has an alarm then either compressor 2 or 3 will be switched on based on running hours.

The base principle of the new control algorithm aims at the installation stability combined with, when possible,
a quick achievement of the overheating steady state.
In this sense, the priorities to be considered for an optimum control of the refrigerating installation are a high
and constant refrigerating yield rather than an extremely low and stable overheating.
The heart of the control is a PID controller that features coefficients that can be set for the overheating.
The additional controls are:
LOP (Low evaporation pressure, operating actually only on transients, with integral time and adjustable
threshold)
MOP (High evaporation pressure, with integral time and adjustable threshold)
HiTcond (High condensation pressure that can be activated only by condensation pressure probe read
by pCO, with integral time and adjustable threshold)

CW System
If the return air humidity is more than the return air humidity setpoint, the controller will modulate open the CW
valve to satisfy the dehumidification requirement of the room. As the return air humidity falls the controller will
modulate close the CW valve until the return air humidity setpoint is achieved.
6.6.2
Dehumidification Limiting
To prevent the return air temperature reducing to unacceptable low limits in dehumidification during periods of
low heat load. The controller monitors the return air temperature and disables the dehumidification output if
return air temperature falls below an adjustable limit. Dehumidification is enabled again when the return air
temperature exceeds the return temperature setpoint.

GENERAL
The head pressure control output will modulate from 0-100%. The controller monitors the liquid line pressure

The alarm page offers a log of the last 100 alarm messages in a scrolling log, pressing the alarm button will
enter the alarm page. Consequently the most recent alarm has the lowest log number (001) and will be
displayed upon entering the alarm page. As another alarm occurs, the alarm number increases until 100
alarms have occurred. From this point on, alarm 001 moves to 002 and any new alarm will reside in position
001. As new alarms are generated and cleared, the highest number logs (100) in the scroll will be lost.
