P216 1-phase condenser fan speed control

P216

Condenser fan speed controller

These controllers are designed for speed variation of single phase motors, especially for fan speed control on air cooled condensers. Head pressure control of a refrigeration system, through speed variation of the fan on an air-cooled condenser, results in optimum performance throughout the year. Using a pressure transducer as the input device to the fan speed controller, gives the most direct and fastest response to pressure variations in the refrigerant system. The controller varies the supply voltage to the motor from 45% to at least 95% over the proportional band using the phase cutting principle. If the pressure drops below the adjusted setpoint minus the proportional band, the output to the motor is zero volt or the adjusted min . speed setting . This provides speed variation of permanent split capacitor or shaded pole motors which do not draw more than 12 A (rms) full load current. The controller used for dual pressure input varies the fan speed by directly sensing the pressure changes of two separate refrigerant circuits. The setpoint of each pressure transducer can be separately adjusted . The controller selects the input with the greatest cooling demand to control the fan speed. The motor manufacturer should have approved his product for this speed control principle. It is recommended to confirm with the electric motor manufacturer, that the motor can be used with a controller, using the phase cutting principle for speed variation. You can also provide a copy of the P216 product data sheet to the motor manufacturer/supplier for review.
