A. Calculating the ON/OFF conditions of the T-D2-IN or T-D2-OS
【Condition needed to turn the T-D2-IN or T-D2-OS ON】
( T
set
– T
in
) × GPM × 500 > 14,880
【Condition needed to turn the T-D2-IN or T-D2-OS OFF】
( T
set
– T
in
) × GPM × 500 < 11,900 or T
in
= T
set
Where: T
set
= Set temperature and T
in
= Inlet temperature
B. Calculation example
Set temperature: T
set
= 122˚F Flow rate = 2.5 GPM
【Condition needed to turn the T-D2-IN or T-D2-OS ON】
(122 – T
in
) × 2.5 × 500 > 14,880 T
in
< 110.1˚F
【Condition needed to turn the T-D2-IN or T-D2-OS OFF】
(122 – T
in
) × 2.5 × 500 < 11,900 T
in
> 112.5 ˚F
The output temperature at that moment will be 120˚F
