preferred where modulating control is required.

Freezing Conditions (entering air below 35°F)
1. 5 PSI steam must be supplied to the coil at all times.
2. Modulating valves are not recommended. Control
should be by means of face and bypass dampers.
3. Provision should always be made to thoroughly
mix fresh air and return air before it enters the
coil on return air units. Also, temperature control
elements must be properly located to obtain true
air mixture temperatures.
4. As additional protection against freeze-up, the trap
should be installed sufficiently­—far below the coil
to provide an adequate hydrostatic head to ensure
removal of condensate during an interruption in the
steam pressure. Estimate 3 feet for each 1 PSI of
trap differential required.
5. On start-up, admit steam to coil ten minutes before
admitting outdoor air.
6. Provision must be made to close fresh air dampers
if steam supply pressure falls below minimum
specified.

Sequence of Operation - Electric
Heater
1. Electric heaters are divided in to equally sized
steps. For example, a 60 kW heater with 3 steps
will have 20 kW per step. The thermostat and
step controller will control these steps.
2. 120 Volt power from the control center (when
supplied) or by others with out a control center,
is delivered to the electric heater for the step
controller. This power must be interlocked with
the supply fan, so when the fan is off, the heater
control power is off.
3. A step control with the thermostat set to
70ºF the heater will be off with a temperature
sensing above 70ºF. As the temperature varies
the steps turn on and off to hold the setpoint
discharge temperature. The colder the discharge
temperature becomes the more steps the
controller will energize.
4. With a step controller, in addition to the fan
interlock mentioned in Step 2, the heater has an
airflow switch to prove that airflow is established
before energizing the steps. The heater also
has an automatic resetting highlimit switch and
manual resetting highlimit switch set above the
automatic switch to protect from overheating.
5. For more detailed information on your specific
controller, please review the controller spec

Drain pans in any air conditioning unit will have

organisms will grow due to airborne spores and

this buildup from plugging the drain and causing the

the possibility of overflow. Also, drain pans should be
kept clean to prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning
should be performed by qualified personnel.
