WATER COOLED CONDENSER SETPOINTS
• Open Valve Above: Defi nes the pressure at which the
aftercooler water supply valve will open to minimum
position.
• Target Condensing Pressure: Defi nes the desired
pressure of gas at the condenser. The condenser wa-
ter supply valve position will adjust to maintain this
pressure.
• Deadband: Range above and below setpoint where
the controller will not make adjustments to water
supply valve positon.
• PID Tuning: PID Calculations displayed to aid in tun-
ing the PID loop.
• Loop Update Time: Defi nes the PID controller loop
time. The PID calculation will update every cycle of
the loop update timer.
• Proportional Gain (Kp): Defi nes the Proportional
Constant of the PID calculation.
• Integral Gain (Ki): Defi nes the Integral Constant of
the PID calculation.
• Derivative Gain (Kd): Defi nes the Derivative Constant
of the PID Calculation.
• Minimum Valve Open: Defi nes the minimum water
supply valve position.
• Condenser Valve Force: Allows the user to manually
force the condenser water supply valve to a settable
position. Activating the Condenser Valve Force push-
button will command the condenser water supply
valve to go to the set position, and will override cal-
culations from the PID Controller.
