3. Economizer Cycle
Liquid refrigerant passes through the first expansion device and into
the flash economizer where flash gas and liquid refrigerant are separated.
The gaseous refrigerant is then drawn out of the flash economizer and into
the vapor injection port of the compressor. The remaining liquid
refrigerant then passes through a second expansion device which reduces
refrigerant pressure to evaporator levels where it is then distributed evenly
into the evaporator.
By removing the flash gas from the flash economizer at an
intermediate pressure, the enthalpy of the refrigerant flowing into the
evaporator is reduced which increases the refrigeration effect and
improves the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle about 16%DŽ

Shell and Tube Flooded Coolers
Compress process
Flooded Coolers operate considerably different than Direct Expan-sion
Coolers. They have the refrigerant in the shell side with the fluid to
be cooled in the tubes. The liquid level of refrigerant in the shell covers
the tubes with refrigerant. This direct contact enables the cooler to oper-ate
more efficiently than a direct expansion cooler by having a closer
total temperature difference (TTD). Flooded Coolers employ the most
advanced vessel technology available today. Special internal and extern-al
enhanced tubing provides excellent unit efficiency. These coolers are
designed and constructed to meet the requirements of the JB4750-2003.
and are stamped accordingly. The tubing is roll expanded into the tube
sheets and the heads are removable and interchangeable from end-to-end
for ease of tube maintenance. Vent and drain plugs are provided in each
head. Two-pass coolers are supplied standard with one and three-pass
optional.
Shell and Tube Condenser
The condenser is a cleanable shell and tube type with high efficiency
external and internal enhanced copper tubes, mechanically expanded into
heavy fixed steel tube sheets. The condenser is sized for full refrigerant
pump down capacity and the shell side is equipped with dual refrigerant
relief devices. Vent and drain fittings are provided in each head and the
heads are removable for tube cleaning and serviceability.
Compressor
The Dunham-Bush rotary screw compressor is a positive displace-ment
helical-axial design for use with high pressure refrigerants.
• The compressor consists of two intermeshing helical grooved rotors, a
drive rotor and a driven rotor, in a stationary housing with suction and
discharge gas ports.
• Uniform gas flow, even torque and positive displacement, all provided
by pure rotary motion contributes to vibration-free operation over a wide
range of operating conditions. Intake and discharge cycles overlap,effect-ively
producing a smooth, continuous flow of gas.
• No oil pump is required for lubrication or sealing purposes. Oil is dist-ributed
throughout the compressor by the pressure differential between
the suction and the discharge cavities.

4. Simplified Capacity Control
The slide valve mechanism for capacity modulation and part-load
operation is an outstanding feature.
• The moving parts are simple, rugged and trouble-free. The slide mech-anism
is hydraulically actuated.
• Package capacity reduction can be down to as low as 25% without
HGBP by progressive movement of slide valves away from their stops.
• Capacity reduction is programmed by an exclusive electronically initi-ated,
hydraulically actuated control arrangement.
Positive Displacement Direct Connected
The compressor is directly connected to the motor without any comp-licated
gear systems to speed up the compressor and thus detract from
the overall unit reliability.
Oil Separator
Each compressor is provided with an integral oil separator located
adjacent to the discharge gas port.
• The separator is a multi-layered mesh element which effectively sepa-rates
oil from the gas stream.
• The oil drains into the sump and the discharge gas passes around the
deflection plate. An oil drain valve is located near the bottom of the oil
sump.
Main Bearings
Each rotor is fitted with a set of anti-friction tapered roller bearings.
They carry both radial and thrust loads.
Rotors
The latest asymmetrical rotor profiles of patented Dunham-Bush
design assure operation at highest efficiencies. Rotors are precision
machined from AISI 1141 bar stock and case hardened.

Castings
All housings are manufactured of high grade, low porosity,cast iron.
Solid State Motor Protection. The motor winding protection module used
in conjunction with sensors embedded in the compressor motor windings
is designed to prevent the motor from operating at unsafe operating tem-peratures.
The overloads for the motor are also solid state.
Display Information
The alphanumeric liquid crystal display utilizes easy-to-understand
menu-driven software.Inexperienced operators can quickly work through
these menus to obtain the information they require or to modify control
parameters. More experienced operators can bypass the menu systems, if
desired, and move directly to their requested control function. Easily
accessible measurements include:
• Leaving chilled water temperature
• Evaporator pressure
• Condenser pressure
• System voltage
• Number of compressor starts
• Compressor contactor status
• Water temperature reset value
• Water flow switch status
• External start/stop command status
Advanced Microcomputer Control is a standard feature on all Dunham-
Bush Rotary Screw Water Cooled Chillers monitoring analog and digital
inputs to achieve precise control of the major operational and protective
functions of the unit.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) allows finger-tip user inter-action.
Its simple-to-use push button keyboard and menu-driven software
provide access to operating conditions, control setpoints and alarm hist-ory
clearly displayed on a prominent multi-line alphanumeric display.
An easy-to-install, inexpensive modem option allows remote reading of
operating parameter updates. The Dunham-Bush microcomputer insures

Capacity Control
Leaving chilled water temperature control is accomplished by enter-ing
the water temperature setpoint and placing the microcomputer in
automatic control. The unit will monitor all control functions and move
the slide valve to the required operating position. The compressor ramp
(loading) cycle is programmable and may be set for specific building
requirements. Remote adjustment of the leaving chilled water setpoint is
accomplished through either direct connection of other Dunham-Bush
control packages to the microcomputer through either the RS485 long
distance differential communication port, via terminal or modem connec-ted
to the RS232 communication port, or from an external building auto-mation
system supplying a simple 0 to 5 VDC signal. Optional remote
reset of compressor current limit may be accomplished in a similar fash-ion.
System Control
The unit may be started or stopped manually or through the use of an
external signal from a Building Automation System.
System Protection
The following system controls will automatically act to insure system
protection:
• Low suction pressure
• High discharge pressure
• High motor temperature/overcurrent
• Freeze protection
• High motor temperature
• Low differential pressure
• Low oil level
• Compressor run error
• Power loss
• Chilled water flow loss
• Sensor error
• Compressor overcurrent
• Anti-recycle
The microcomputer will retain the latest thirty alarm conditions complete
with time of failure in an alarm history. This tool will aid service
technicians in trouble shooting tasks enabling downtime and nuisance
trip-outs to be minimized.
Remote Monitoring
The microcomputer is complete with an RS232 communications port
and all hardware and software necessary to be remotely monitored and
controlled from a simple terminal and optional phone modem. This valu-able
enhancement to the refrigeration system allows the ultimate in
serviceability. The microcomputer as standard is additionally equipped
with history files which may be used to take logs which may be retrieved
via the phone modem periodically. Now owners of multiple buildings
have a simple and inexpensive method of investigating potential
problems quickly and in a highly cost effective manner. Dunham-Bush
has open Protocol on its microcomputer to allow direct interface with
Building Management Systems.
