Hi , I'm building a glycol chiller using a DAC10003D for my home brewery. I bypassed the digital control and it works . I'm unsure of 2 wires (red and orange), because there is no legend to describe what they are for. According to the wiring diagram(attached -C19) they go to the fan, but by bypassing digital control these 2 wires will remain engaged/on . Because i don't what they are for, it's difficult to know if it will damage the fan if they remain on while de ac it is running to cool the Glycol. Looking back, I've should have gone with a analogue AC unit...

C19 is a capacitor

Any ideas what those 2 wires are for ? Winding and Running ?

 

[rickgburton]

Start cap or run cap

Thanks Rick , appreciate it. I have very limited knowledge - my understanding is the Air conditioner start cap would only be live to start the fan motor, afterwards and the run cap would takeover. Is that correct or false ? if that is correct, Do you see an issue if the start cap and run cap stay on during the cooling cycle?

Is that correct

Yes

Do you see an issue if the start cap and run cap stay on during the cooling cycle?

No
