Introduction

The Aquaforce chillers with Greenspeed® Intelligence are the premium solution for
commercial and industrial applications where installers, consultants and building owners
require superior reliability and optimal performances, especially at part load.

30KAV are designed to meet current and future requirements in terms of energy efficien-
cy, versatility and operating sound levels. Through the optimised combination of proven
best-in-class technologies that include:
- Exclusive new screw compressors with Greenspeed® Intelligence.
- The new Touch Pilot control.
- 6th flying bird Condenser fans with Greenspeed® Intelligence.

Furthermore, with 30KAV, Carrier offers its unique expertise and know-how to take care
of the machine long after the sale. With the new “CARRIER CONNECT” system in fact,
energy and facility managers and end-users in general can rely on the most qualified
remote monitoring services.

Low Energy Consumption

The air conditioning system could use 30%~40% of anual buidling engery consumption,
30KAV helps customer involved in green building certification with Greenspeed ® inveter
- driven technology.

With advanced unit mounted inverter-driven technolgy, the 30KAV is designed for high
performance both at full load and at part load. Exceptional efficiency performance at part
load which is up to 5.7.

Cooperating with primary viarable flow system, the system efficiency would be further
enhanced by synchronized control of chillers and pumps.

The high energy efficiency is reached thanks to:

- Inverter driven twin-rotor screw compressors allowing precise capacity matching of
buliding load and reducing unit power input, especially at part-load.
- Inverter driven fan motors minimizing power consumption while granting optimum air
flow.
- Electronic expansion device permitting operation at a lower condensing pressure and
improved utilization of the evaporator heat exchange surface.
- Economizer system with electronic expansion device increases cooling capacity by
10% and efficiency by 4%.

 Environmental Friendly

HFC-134a refrigerant
Refrigerant of the HFC group with zero ozone depletion potential.

Leak-tight refrigerant circuit.

Reduction of leaks as no capillary tubes and flare connections are used.
Verification of pressure transducers and temperature sensors without transferring refrig-
erant charge.

Absolute reliability

Screw compressors with Greenspeed® Intelligence:

- Industrial-type screw compressors with oversized bearings and motor cooled by
suction gas.
- Specifically sized inverter for each compressor motor ensures reliable operation and
easy maintenance.
- All compressor components assembly are easily accessible on site minimising
down-time.

Fans with Greenspeed® Intelligence.

- 6th generation of Flying Bird fans equipped with inverter-driven asynchronous motors.
- Specifically sized inverter optimize air flow management reducing cost.
- Easily accessible inverter of fan speed control for easy service.

Exceptional endurance tests.

- Partnerships with specialised laboratories and use of limit simulation tools (finite
element calculation) for the design of critical components.
- Transport simulation test equivalent to 2000 km by truck under harsh conditions.
- Salt mist corrosion resistance test in the laboratory for increased corrosion resistance.

Minimised Operating Sound Levels

The inverter technology used for the compressor and fan motors minimises noise levels
at part load operation. When the unit is delivering 25% for example, compressors and
fans are running at minimum speed which implies lower noise.

Standard unit features include:

- Discharge dampers integrated in the oil separator (Carrier patent).
- Condenser coils in W-shape with an open angle, allowing quieter air flow across the coil.
- Low-noise 6th generation Flying Bird fans, made of a composite material (Carrier
patent) which do not generate intrusive low frequency noise.

General Features

New innovative smart control features:

- An intuitive and user-friendly, 5" colored interface (7" as option).
- Screen-shots with concise and clear information in local languages.
- Complete menu, customized for different users (end user, service personnel
and Carrier-factory technicians).
- Easy access to the controller box with touch screen mounting to ensure legibil-
ity under any lighting conditions.
- Safe operation and unit setting: password protection ensures that unautho-
rized people cannot modify any advanced parameters.
- Simple and “smart” intelligence uses data collection from the constant monitor-
ing of all machine parameters to optimise unit operation.
- Night-mode: Cooling capacity management for reduced noise level.

Economical operation

Energy management:
- Internal time schedule clock controls chiller on/off times and opera tion at a
second set-point.
- The DCT (Data Collection Tool) records the alarms history to simplify and
facilitate service operations.
Large colored

Remote Management (Standard)

- Units with Touch Pilot control can be easily accessed from the internet, using
a PC with an Ethernet connection. This makes remote control quick and easy
and offers significant advantages for service operations.
- Equipped with an RS485 serial port that offers multiple remote control, moni-
toring and diagnostic possibilities. When networked with other Carrier equip-
ment through the CCN (Carrier Comfort Network - proprietary protocol), all
components form a HVAC system fully-integrated and balanced through one
of the Carrier’s network system products, like the Chiller System Manager or
the Plant System Manager (optional). also communicates with other building
management systems viaoptional communication gateways.

 Quiet operation

The following commands/visualizations are possible from remote

- Start/Stop of the machine.
- Dual set-point management: Through a dedicated contact is possible to
activate a second set-point (example: unoccupied mode).
- Demand limit setting: To limit the maximum chiller capacity to a predefined
value.
- Water pump control: These outputs control the contactors of one/two evapora-
tor water pumps.
- Operation visualization: Indication if the unit is operating or if it’s in stand-by
(no cooling load).
- Alarm visualization.

Absolute reliability

The Energy Management Module (EMM) offers extended remote control possi-
bilities:
- Room temperature: Permits set-point reset based on the building indoor air
temperature (if Carrier thermostat are installed).
- Set-point reset: Ensures reset of the cooling set-point based on a 4-20 mA or
0-10 V signal.
- Demand limit: Permits limitation of the maximum chiller power or current
touch display
based on 0-10 V signal.
- Demand limit 1 and 2: Closing of these contacts limits the maximum chiller
power or current to two predefined values.
- User safety: This contact can be used for any customer safety loop; opening
the contact generates a specific alarm.
- Ice storage end: When ice storage has finished, this input permits return to the
second set-point (unoccupied mode).
- Time schedule override: Closing of this contact cancels the time schedule
effects.
- Out of service: This signal indicates that the chiller is completely out of service.
- Chiller capacity: This analogue output (0-10 V) gives an immediate indication
of the chiller capacity.
- Alert indication: This volt-free contact indicates the necessity to carry out a
maintenance operation or the presence of a minor fau.
- Compressors running status : Set of outputs (as many as the compressors
number) indicating which compressors are running.
