HELP: Head Pressure Controller and condenser fan motor doubt!
Good Day,
I have a mini-split air conditioner condenser, that needs to work in cooling mode below the recommended outdoor temperatures (21ºC in this case), but this brings problems like decreasing to much the condensing head pressure because the fan only works at full speed all the time.
I have been advised to install a head pressure controller (Fan Speed Controller) like the Aspen Pumps (http://www.aspenpumps.com/en/controls.html) or the EDC (http://www.edcpumps.com/en/head-pressure-controller.php), but I do not know if the fan already existing under the condenser being a 230v full speed fan is already prepared to one of those types of controllers or if it will be burned in a short?
Thank you very much
Ric

The fan wont run all the time, it will cycle on and off depending on the programmed settings.

Most single phase motors are voltage variable , if your in doubt check with the manufacturer.
But I really can't see there being any issue.
Have you checked the motor itself to see if there is a min - max voltage rating.

Dear stufus,
Thank you once more for you help,
I'm not sure what the voltage range of that fan, but I can check that,
I only have posted this questions, because I think that maybe there is someone around here that already have installed one of those controllers or even on of the Danfoss (Saginomiya) ones and have already clarified this doubt.
Thank you

Well then you should have specified the make and model of your machine.
Makes helping out much easier
