12-8. (B). Pump control ON/OFF conditions: BTU requirements
A. Calculating the ON/OFF conditions of the T-H2-DV or T-H2-OS
【Condition needed to turn the pump ON】
( T
set
– T
in
) × GPM × 500 > 14,880
【Condition needed to turn the pump OFF】
5 minutes after activation, if the computer detects a BTU requirement of less than 18,600 BTU/h, the
computer will stop the pump 90 seconds.
( T
set
– T
in
) × GPM × 500 < 14,880 or T
in
= T
set
Where: T
set
= Set temperature and T
in
= Inlet temperature
B. Calculation example
Set temperature: T
set
= 120 ˚F Flow rate = 2.5 GPM
【Condition needed to turn the pump ON】
( 120 – T
in
) × 2.5 × 500 > 14,880 T
in
< 108.1˚F
【Condition needed to turn the pump OFF】
( 120 – T
in
) × 2.5 × 500 < 14,880 T
in
> 108.1˚F
