3.3 ROOFTOP UNIT SEQUENCE OF OPERATION (CES RTU-1)
A. MODES OF OPERATION (SCHEDULE)
Time Schedules
There are two modes of occupancy which follow the : OCCUPIED and UNOCCUPIED.
active
OCCUPIED defines those hours that the supermarket is (day), and UNOCCUPIED defines those hours that the
inactive
supermarket is (night). The Time Schedule is set upon store commissioning. The setpoint file arrives with the
Aldi default Time Schedule.
B. FAN STRATEGY
The Aldi-CES Dual-Path Unit is supplied with a variable frequency drive (VFD). The fan operates based upon a two-
speed demand; thus, the strategy imitates a two-speed fan design. The difference is that the fan motor continually
coasts; therefore, the motor is never stopped. Throughout the OCCUPIED mode of operation. the fan runs at its 100%
setting. The setting is defined as the VFD hertz setting that is inputted at unit start-up and/or air balancing. Throughout
UNOCCUPIED mode, the fan motor ramps down (coasts to) 50% of its 100% setting. The maximum possible setting for
the fan motor is 100%, and its minimum position setting is 34%.
UNOCCUPIED FAN STRATEGY
Throughout UNOCCUPIED mode, the fan motor coasts at 50% of its maximum setting. The fan motor will immediately
ramp to 100% if:
1. A heat reclaim demand exists,
2. A heat demand exists (either electric or natural gas), and
more than
3. A dehumidification demand has existed for 30 minutes.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS FOR HVAC CONTROLS 230993 - 1
ALDI Retail Facility Iowa City, Iowa
AIRFLOW STRATEGY (TIED TO EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN)
There are two airflow switches installed in every Aldi-CES Dual-Path Unit:
1. Digital Airflow Switch (dry contact), and
2. Mechanical Airflow Switch (verified and set at start-up).
If the CPC controller demands for the fan, it verifies the response by closure of the digital airflow switch. If the fan de-
mand exists and there is no response from the fan, the CPC application will attempt to start the fan 10 times. After 10
failed attempts, the CPC application will lock the program and alarm a "fail fan." The fan failing is tied into the
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN.
C. SYSTEM ENABLE (DRY CONTACT)
Contact closure of the system enable allows the CPC application to function. Without this closure, which is connected
across the designated CPC analog input, the CES application will not run. If this contact is open, there will be no re-
sponse from the CPC application; therefore, there will be no demand for the CES Dual-Path Unit.
D. REMOTE SMOKE DETECTOR (DRY CONTACT)
Contact closure of the remote smoke detector, located in the ventilation duct, allows the CPC application to function.
The contact of this closure is considered crucial, and it is inputted as an EMERGENCY CES UNIT SHUTDOWN. Upon
this contact opening, the unit will shut down within 15 seconds. The unit will remain in idle until the contact closes. The
CPC application will alarm on "emergency shutdown." If this contact is open, the CPC application can produce no de-
mand for the CES Dual-Path Unit.
E. GLOBAL DATA: HVAC EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN (INTERNAL)
Global inputted data of the controller. If problem occurs, the CES Dual-Path Unit will shut down and alarm "emergency
shutdown."
F. CLOGGED FILTER SWITCH (DRY CONTACT)
The clogged filter switch is set at start-up of the CES Dual-Path Unit. Upon closure of this contact, the CPC application
will alarm "dirty filter."
G. DAMPER STRATEGY & CONTROL
Due to the Dual-Path design, there are three independent dampers:
1. OAD (outdoor air),
2. RAD (return air), and
3. BAD (bypass air).
The OAD has the following strategies:
Time Schedule change from UNOCCUPIED to OCCUPIED induces a slow open damper. The damper opens in
1/8% increments to full 100% positioning over a 40 minute period.
Occupied OAD opening with no demand: 23%
Occupied OAD opening with dehumidification demand: 20%
Occupied OAD opening with heating demand: 23%
Occupied OAD opening with CO2 demand: 38% (15% increment increase)
Unoccupied OAD opening: 0%
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS FOR HVAC CONTROLS 230993 - 2
ALDI Retail Facility Iowa City, Iowa
Unoccupied OAD opening with CO2 demand: 15%
The RAD has the following strategies:
Occupied RAD opening with no demand: 80%
Occupied RAD opening with dehumidification demand: 60%
Occupied RAD opening with heating demand: 80%
Occupied RAD opening with CO2 demand: either 80% or 60% (depends on current demand)
Unoccupied RAD opening: 80%
Unoccupied RAD opening with CO2 demand: 80%
The BAD has the following strategies:
Dehumidification demand: 100%
Cooling demand: 0%
CO2 STRATEGY (TIED TO OAD)
Target: 750 PPM
CO2 > 750 PPM = Increase OAD increment by 15%
H. RERIGERATION CONTROL (ENHANCED SUCTION GROUP)
Compressor 1 = Copeland Digital Scroll, 15% - 100% Modulation Capacity (1-5VDC)
Compressor 2 = Copeland Scroll, On/Off (24VAC)
Control Strategy: Tightest & variation of on/off control based upon demand/set point
DEHUMIDIFICATION
Enable based upon space dew point
DEHUMIDIFICATION ACTIVE
(OCCUPIED) Space dew point > 48.8˚F + algorithm rate of change =
DEHUMIDIFICATION ACTIVE
(UNOCCUPIED) Space dew point > 49.5˚F + algorithm rate of change =
Desired maintenance set point = 50.2˚F
set
When the dehumidification is made active, the suction pressure set point is via the space dew point. This implies that
the suction pressure set point floats continually based upon the actual space dew point. This controls the DX Coil SHR
colder
(sensible heat ratio), as a dew point further from the desired maintenance set point will yield a coil; similarly, a
warmer
space dew point nearer to the desired maintenance set point will yield a coil. This is linear and produces the op-
erating envelope of the compressor in question when in relation to the desired maintenance set point.
When space dew point is at 48.2˚F, the suction pressure set point is 117 PSIG.
117 PSIG = 39˚F SST
furthest from
Therefore, the saturated suction temperature is 39˚F when the space dew point is the desired maintenance
set point.
When space dew point is at 50.2˚F, the suction pressure set point is 108 PSIG.
108 PSIG = 35˚F SST
closest to
Therefore, the saturated suction temperature is 35˚F when the space dew point is the desired maintenance
set point.
I. COOLING
Enable based upon space temperature
COOL ACTIVE
(OCCUPIED) Space temperature > 74˚F + algorithm rate of change =
COOL ACTIVE
(UNOCCUPIED) Space temperature > 75˚F + algorithm rate of change =
It is important to note that the dehumidification demand takes priority.
The cooling strategy is based upon the space temperature. As the space temperature rises above set point, the digital
compressor ramps up. Once the PID loop has reached 50%, the on/off scroll is enabled. The PID loop, which is based
upon actual space temperature, controls both compressors. The greater the difference from space set point will yield a
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS FOR HVAC CONTROLS 230993 - 3
ALDI Retail Facility Iowa City, Iowa
greater compressor capacity enabled; likewise, the lesser the difference from space set point will yield less compressor
capacity enabled to provide space cooling.
REFRIGERATION SAFETIES
All typical safeties are applicable to all Aldi-CES Dual-Path Units: low suction pressure cut-out at 60PSIG, high suction
pressure cut-out at 200PSIG throughout dehumidification, high discharge pressure cut-out at 600PSIG, pressure control
cut-out if the suction pressure drops below 104 PSIG throughout cooling, pressure control cut-out if the suction pressure
drops below 80 PSIG throughout dehumidification, phase loss cut-out, anti-short cycling timer, etc.
J. REHEAT OR HEAT RECLAIM COIL CONTROL
REHEAT COIL (ENABLES 3-WAY VALVE IN CES UNIT)
The reheat coil can only be enabled throughout dehumidification. It is a separate sensor control which looks solely at
space temperature.
Space temperature < 72.8˚F = Enable the reheat coil
Space temperature > = 73.8˚F = Disable the reheat coil
These set points can be changed to accommodate the desired space temperature control.
HEAT RECLAIM COIL (ENABLES 3-WAY VALVE LOCATED AT THE PACK)
The heat reclaim coil is used to reheat the supply airstream throughout dehumidification, and it is used as the first stage
of heat throughout the heating season. It is a separate sensor control which looks solely at space temperature.
Space temperature < 71.8˚F = Enable the reheat coil
Space temperature > = 73.5˚F = Disable the reheat coil
These set points can be changed to accommodate the desired space temperature control.
K HEATING
Heating is based solely upon space temperature.
(OCCUPIED) Space temperature < 68˚F = Enable heat (either natural gas or electric)
(UNOCCUPIED) Space temperature < 60˚F = Enable heat (either natural gas or electric)
These set points can be changed to accommodate the desired space temperature control.
There are four stages of heating for all Aldi-CES Dual-Path Units. Each stage controls a specific capacity. The staging is
based upon supply air temperature. The supply air temperature is either 96˚F (southern climates) or 106˚F (northern
climates). This set point can be changed to accommodate the store design (location of the supply air temperature sen-
sor, duct run, etc.)
HEATING SAFETIES
All typical heating safeties are applicable to all Aldi-CES Dual-Path Units: high limit switches, roll back switches, pres-
sure differential switches, etc.
L PHASE LOSS CONTROL
All Aldi-CES Dual-Path Units are equipped with a phase and brown-out protector. Upon detection of a phase problem,
the protector opens the secondary 24VAC circuit. This disables the control circuit of the CES Dual-Path Unit.
M VFD SAFETY CIRCUIT
All Aldi-CES Dual-Path Units will be circuited as described:
1. If the line phasing and voltage are correct, the PBO relay will close. This allows the 24VAC to pass to the drive
contact MC. It is important to note that the Transformer Relay (TR) is not energized at this point; therefore, the
circuit is complete between the drive contacts SC (common) & S3. This indicates to the drive that there is an ex-
not enable
ternal mechanical error, as the circuit is complete between S3 & SC. The drive is programmed to “
when in RE command
” if the circuit is complete between SC & S3.
2. If the drive does not detect an error or fault, it closes the contact between MC& MB. The error/fault verification by
the drive is completed internally, and it is unrelated to the contact status between SC & S3 and SC & S1. This
contact closure completes the 24VAC circuit to the TR; consequently, TR becomes energized. When TR is ener-
gized, the normally closed (NC) contact opens. This opens the circuit between SC & S3, so the drive clears its
fault that there is an external mechanical error. The drives awaits directive from the Emerson controller.
3. Relay Output # 1 (RO1) of the Emerson Multiflex board closes, and Relay 1 (R1) is energized and closes (the
normally open contact changes state). When R1 closes, the circuit between drive contacts SC (common) & S1 is
complete. This signifies to the drive that the fan can be enabled.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS FOR HVAC CONTROLS 230993 - 4
ALDI Retail Facility Iowa City, Iowa
4. Analog Output # 3 (AO3) of the Emerson Multiflex board provides the VDC signal to control the fan speed. In the
Emerson program, the fan is at 100%, which is 10VDC, throughout occupied mode or at 50%, which is 5VDC,
throughout unoccupied mode. The fan speed does not modulate for any reason. 100% fan speed is determined
by setting the frequency of the drive. This is determined at the factory, but the frequency can be adjusted to either
reduce or increase fan speed.
