OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE RESET OF SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURE
Functional Description
Item
No. Function
1,2 Control system energizes when fan is turned on
(See FAN SYSTEM START-STOP CONTROL).
3,4 SA temperature setpoint, as adjusted by reset
schedule, maintained by modulating hot
water valve.
5,6 OA temperature resets the SA temperature setpoint
according to a reset schedule.
7 Hot water valve modulates flow, opens upon loss
of motive force, and closes upon fan shutdown.
8 Control program coordinates SA temperature,
valve, and fan interlock control.
FEATURES
The SA temperature rises as the OA temperature falls
according to a predetermined reset schedule.
CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
Use multiple inline coil arrangement should be used if a high
temperature rise is required.
SPECIFICATIONS
See FAN SYSTEM START-STOP CONTROL.
Anytime the supply fan runs, heating control shall be enabled.
A SA PID control loop shall modulate the hot water valve to
maintain the SA temperature setpoint. The SA temperature
setpoint shall be reset from 16°C to 38°C as the OA temperature
varies from 16°C to –15°C.
PSYCHROMETRIC ASPECTS
The SA condition depends on the entering air condition and
the temperature rise needed to satisfy the space heating
requirements.
In the following chart it is assumed that:
1. The MA system is set to maintain 16°C DB MA
temperature.
2. The OA temperature reset controller increases the
setpoint of the discharge PID control loop linearly from
16°C to 38°C DB as OA temperature falls from 16°C to
–15°C DB.

The following results are obtained:
Item
No. Explanation
1 MA temperature.
2 SA at the beginning of the reset schedule.
3 SA heated to 38°C at outdoor design
temperature.
4 Between –18°C and 16°C OA temperature,
SA temperatures are between Points 2 and 3.
