Valve Opening vs. Temperature
As shown in Figure 41, the default minimum and maximum
valve opening positions are 10% and 100%, respectively.
These minimum and maximum positions are adjustable
anywhere between 0% and 100%. Additional fans stage on
when the valve opening position reaches the maximum value
that was set.
(IV) VFD STAGE: In this mode, a VFD controls the rst fan.
Up to three more fans are staged on and off and there is
no bypass valve. See Figure 42 and Figure 43.

Figure 43: (IV) VFD STAGE - VFD Speed vs. Temperature
As shown in Figure 43, the default minimum and maximum
VFD speeds are 20% and 100%, respectively. These minimum
and maximum values are adjustable anywhere between 0%
and 100%. Additional fans stage on when the VFD speed
reaches the maximum value that was set.
(V) VALVE SP / VFD STAGE: This control strategy is tower
fan control with a VFD and bypass valve control. See
Figure 44 and Figure 45.
