Control Strategies
1. Secondary Supply Flow (SSF) temperature control:
Modulating normally-closed Valve Y 12 in the primary
supply flow (PSF) and TIC 22 control the SSF
temperature. The SSF setpoint is reset based on outdoor
air temperature (Fig. 143). If the primary return flow
(PRF) exceeds the TI 14 temperature limit, the SSF 1
temperature reset schedule is adjusted to a lower
temperature schedule. If the SSF temperature exceeds
the high limit setpoint of hard wired thermostat (TZA+
21), power to valve Y 12 is shut off closing the valve.
2. DHW temperature control: Valve Y 12 in conjunction with
TC 32 maintains the HW storage tank water temperature.
Thermostat TIC 32 supplies the HW storage tank loading
cycle start point. During the loading cycle, SSF water
heats HEX 2, other loads are switched off, and the pumps
Y 24, Y 34 load the HW storage tank. Temperature sensor
TIC 31 turns loading operation off.
3. DHW Circulating pump control: Circulating pump Y 33
is time schedule controlled to maintain the DHW
temperature at the end of the line.

Variations of temperatures based on a heat surface factor
(HSF) of radiators in a building (equivalent to a building heat
curve variation) ranging from 0.8 to 1.6 (Fig. 143).

HYBRID BUILDING SUBSTATION
Combination Jet Pump and Heat Exchanger.
The Heating System is mainly used in Eastern Europe or the
CIS and consists of a Hydro-elevator Mixing Valve (jet pump).
Hydro-elevators are mostly uncontrolled devices, mixing the
building return water with supply water according to the hydro-
mechanical configuration in the valve and requires no pump
for heating water circulation in the building heating system
(Fig. 144).
