LIQUID INJECTION (VPLUS PUMP) SETPOINTS
• Start Pump At: Defi nes the temperature at which the
VPLUS pump will start at its minimum speed.
• Target Discharge Temperature: Defi nes the desired
temperature of gas and oil discharging from the com-
pressor. The VPLUS pump will adjust speed to main-
tain this temperature.
• Deadband: Range above and below setpoint where
the controller will not make adjustments to the
VPLUS pump speed.
• Oil Separator Override Temperature: Separator Oil
Temperature must be above this temperature for the
VPLUS pump to operate.
• 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 Pump Speed: Defi nes the minimum speed
of the VPLUS pump.
• VPLUS Pump Force: Allows the user to manually force
the VPLUS pump to a settable speed. Activating the
VPLUS Pump Force pushbutton will command the
VPLUS pump to go to the set speed, and will override
calculations from the PID Controller.
