TruVu™ ChillerVu™ Plant Controller
Technical Specifications
Features
System Benefits
Integrates seamlessly with chiller plant equipment using BACnet and Modbus® protocols
Fully plug-and-play with the Carrier i-Vu building automation system
Pre-configured energy dashboards and embedded trends/alarms provide immediate insight on chiller plant performance and aid in troubleshooting/maintenance
Energy Saving Strategies
Enhanced chiller staging dynamically matches the number of running chillers to building load
Variable flow pump sequences minimize pump energy consumption
Staged and variable speed tower fans minimize tower fan energy consumption
Demand limiting limits plant energy consumption to fixed levels, avoiding excess electrical demand charges
Pre-configured chilled water setpoint reset; plug and play compatible with Carrier Chilled Water System Optimizer
Optional soft start ramp loading, chilled water reset, load feathering (Add/Drop), and demand limiting
Easily Customizable for Any Plant
Easily reconfigure control sequences using EquipmentBuilder and can be fully edited in Snap
Pre-configured, user editable energy dashboards (actionable plant energy data graphically displayed)
High quality, automatically generated plant room graphics, requiring minimal user input
Standard Application Library
Full complement of pre-written plant control sequences
Chiller Manager with basic and advanced chiller staging sequences
Pump Manager with control sequences for the primary and secondary chilled and condenser water pumps
Tower Manager with control sequences for the towers
Open and Closed Cooling Tower programs for towerspecific control points, including condenser water pumps and other peripheral equipment
Chiller System – Self contained single chiller application with I/O to control the chiller, pumps and cooling towers
Carrier proprietary 23XRV Series Counterflow control sequence
Supported Chiller Hardware
Carrier legacy chillers with native CCN controls connected with UPCs or via i-Vu CCN links
New generation Carrier PIC chillers (PIC6.x) with native BACnet connectivity
Third-party chillers that support BACnet protocol (must have accessible BACnet points with correct read/write properties)
Plants with non-communicating chillers, using fieldinstalled controllers and logic
