What is the differential to start range?
The settings are configurable at the CH530
- Differential to Start is the number of degrees above the Active Chilled Water Setpoint that the leaving water temperature must drift up to before the chiller will start.
- Differential to Stop is the number of degrees below the Active Chilled Water Setpoint that the leaving water temperature must drop before the compressor is turned off.
