Control Circuit

The document describes the standard operations of a chiller system. It has 5 main steps: 1) The on/off switch energizes coils to start the chilled and hot water pumps. 2) After a time delay, the pumps continue running. 3) If chilled water temperature is above setpoint, refrigeration coils energize to start cooling. 4) If temperature falls below setpoint, cooling stops. 5) Additional steps start heating if hot water temperature is low. Fault conditions and diagnostic guidelines are also provided.
