compressor starts/day
Is there any control that counts compressor-starts/day and gives alarms when needed???

Re: compressor starts/day
I believe any programmable counter or programmable control will do the job.
What other alarms you need to monitor with a counter?

Re: compressor starts/day
i wished a simple eliwell idplus961 could do the job but it can't. but I don't know of Dixell and Carel ; do you know?
I think 'compressorstarts per day alarm' will help prevent compressor failure and will help me be in time before temperature will drop

Re: compressor starts/day
Most controllers will, I believe, provide a starts per hour facility which is what most manufacturers inform on.
Or sometimes there will be a minimum run time to ensure compressor cooling has taken place.
If you think that the compressor is starting too often then perhaps there is something wrong with the system.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: compressor starts/day
there is a parameter DBI to delay the start after cooling demand, you can always set it for for up to 250 min to protect the compressor.
