Thanks b-man Basically all I gave him is my experience with the chillers nothing that gave the farm away. If you ask me specific questions about problems I can probably help you out better that way.

why keep it a secret dallas lets have your thoughts. I've seen this many times, low charge, bad exv, bad transducer, loss of program, or in this case I would think since it started happening to both circuits at the same time I would think that the board went bad or the program needs fixn. It seems that with those exv's there was a upgrade in the programing because the number of steps was wrong from the factory.

Yep I'd start ohming out the exv motors. What series is it? How low did your suction pressure go?
Although I have never experienced that scenario I would be investigating my liquid line solenoid valves and EXV operation to start. You may have an issue with your EXV driver board.
Carrier 30gxn.... Anyone seen this? I have two alarms going off and shutting the chiller down, t999 and t998 both are for "loss of refrigerant flow" one in circuit a and one in circuit b. According to the history it just started happening the other day, the liquid line filters are good ,suction valves are open and I am getting real good flow for the chilled water. Each circuit runs for approx. 3 mins and then they trip off with this alarm. Both EXVs are frosted up after they trip off. Has anyone seen this before, I find it strange both circuits are acting up at the same time... Telling me it's some thing that affects both ie: chilled water etc Any help is much appreciated Thanks
