Calibration and Regulation after Startup

12.0 CALIBRATION AND REGULATION AFTER STARTUP

The Liebert CRV has been factory-tested and calibrated, but it is very important to check, at startup,

the superheating of the thermostatic valve (A/W versions).

• For calibrations of instruments installed on the external condensers/drycoolers, refer to the man-

ual for the equipment.

• For control system calibrations, refer to the Liebert iCOM manual, SL-18835. (To prevent erratic

operation, do not use temperature and relative humidity setpoints/proportional bands that differ

excessively from the default settings.)

12.1 Thermostatic Expansion Valve

The Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TEV) performs one function: It keeps the evaporator supplied

with enough refrigerant to satisfy load conditions. It does not effect compressor operation.

Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat. The correct superheat setting is

between 10 and 20°F (-12 and -6°C). If too little refrigerant is being fed to the evaporator, the super-

heat will be high; if too much refrigerant is being supplied, the superheat will be low.

12.1.1 Determine Suction Superheat

To determine superheat:

1. Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point the TEV bulb is clamped.

2. Obtain the gauge pressure at the compressor suction valve.

3. Add the estimated pressure drop between the bulb’s location and the suction valve.

4. Convert the sum of the two pressures to the equivalent temperature.

5. Subtract this temperature from the actual suction line temperature. The difference is superheat.

12.1.2 Adjust Superheat Setting with the TEV

To adjust the superheat setting:

1. Remove the valve cap at the bottom of the valve.

2. Turn the adjusting stem counterclockwise to lower the superheat.

3. Turn the adjusting stem clockwise to increase the superheat.

12.2 Environmental Protection

Misuse or incorrect calibration of the unit leads to increased energy consumption, resulting in eco-

nomic and environmental damage.

NOTE

Make no more than one turn of the stem at a time. As long as thirty minutes may be required

for the new balance to take place.
