Heating - McQuay MicroTech III RAH Operation And Maintenance Manual

McQuay OM 920-1

Heating

The unit enters the Heating operating state when the Control Temperature falls below the zone
heating setpoint by more than ½ the zone heating deadband. During the Heating operating
state, the outdoor air dampers are either 100% open if the unit is a 100% outdoor air unit or
controlled to the minimum outside air position. Cooling is disabled.
Economizer
If the unit is equipped with a 0-100% modulating economizer (waterside or airside) and the
conditions are suitable for free cooling, the unit attempts to satisfy the cooling load by using
either outdoor air or the waterside economizer before using mechanical cooling.
If the unit is configured for Zone Temperature Control the transition to economizer operation
will occur if all the following are true:
• The Control Temperature rises above the zone cooling setpoint by more that ½ the zone
cooling high deadband
• The discharge air temperature is greater than the Min DAT limit by more than ½ the DAT
heating deadband. This will prevent more cold air from being brought in when the DAT is
already cold
• The economizer operation is not disabled
If the unit is configured for Discharge Air Temperature Control the transition to Mechanical
cooling will occur if all the following are true:
• The Control Temperature rises above the zone cooling setpoint by more that ½ the zone
cooling deadband
• The discharge air temperature is greater than the DAT cooling setpoint by more than ½ the
DAT cooling deadband
• Post heat operation is complete
• Economizer operation is not disabled
Mechanical Cooling
The unit enters the mechanical cooling operating state when cooling is required and the
economizer is disabled, not present, or already fully open.
If the unit is configured for Zone Temperature Control the transition to Mechanical cooling
will occur if all the following are true:
• The control temperature rises above the zone cooling setpoint by more that ½ the zone
cooling deadband
• The discharge air temperature is greater than the Min DAT limit by more than ½ the DAT
heating deadband. This will prevent more cold air from being brought in when the DAT is
already cold
• The economizer operation is disabled or not present
If the unit is configured for Discharge Air Temperature Control the transition to Mechanical
cooling will occur if all the following are true:
• The control temperature rises above the zone cooling setpoint by more that ½ the zone
cooling deadband
• The discharge air temperature is greater than the DAT cooling setpoint by more than ½ the
DAT cooling deadband
• Post heat operation is complete
• Economizer operation is disabled
