Page 18: Chapter E - Sequence Of Operation
E – Sequence of Operation Sequence of Operation The dehumidifier’s ventilation system establishes the required airflow through the dehumidifier. The control system compares air temperature and humidity to their desired values (set points) and proceeds to dehumidify, cool or heat the recirculating air. If the dehumidifier is equipped with the pool water heating option, the pool water temperature is compared to its set point and pool heating is provided if required. Set Points The control system is constantly adjusting unit operation to achieve and maintain said parameters within couple degrees/percent of the set point. Refer to the dehumidifier’s main label for the design value of control parameters, as well as the following note. Note: To ensure the dehumidifier’s most economical operation, we recommend maintaining the following relationship between pool water and room air temperatures: Room Air T = Pool Water T + 2˚F Ventilation. The main blower runs continuously, establishing required airflow and pulling fresh outdoor air onto the premise through the minimum outdoor air intake (OA1) damper. The main blower speed is pre‐set via adjustable variable signal. Dehumidifier, though usually does not have it built‐in, can control the external minimum exhaust fan (EF1), to directs portion of return air outdoors. Like the main blower, exhaust fan speed is controlled via adjustable (pre‐set) variable signals: the exhaust fan speed may vary depending on scheduled ventilation mode (Occupied, Non‐ Occupied and Spectator) or call for Economiser Mode (as part of Air Conditioning or Dehumidification operation). Note. Externally installed Exhaust Fan(s) and Outdoor Air damper(s) could be also controlled by the dehumidifier control system. This applies to both, Minimum and Purge/Additional, fans and dampers. Space Heating When premise air temperature drops below the set point, the dehumidifier control system issues a call for Space Heating Mode and engages space heater (electric heater, hot water coil with valve, gas boiler etc.) by sending space heating signal, respective to space heater control type ‐ on/off, variable (0‐10VDC), etc. Air Conditioning, Dehumidification and Pool Heating. Compressor(s) Whenever the compressor operates, the evaporator is always dehumidifying and cooling the return air. The heat removed from the air at the evaporator, as well as the heat from the compressor's action, must be rejected to one of three heat sinks: room (premise) air, pool water (if applicable) or outdoors. The control system will direct the heat to where it is needed based on room (air and pool water temperature) conditions: ... - Page 19 E – Sequence of Operation Rest of the heat (if any) is diverted towards outdoors (outdoor condenser, fluid cooler, etc.) Compressor Circuit Operation Piping schematic for compressor circuit is shown on Pic. E.1. When a demand requires the compressor to operate, the following sequence occurs: Once blower operation, related safeties and timers are confirmed by the control system, the pump down solenoid valve opens and once pressure stabilizes, the compressor starts. Based on the premise air temperature, the refrigeration reheat and/or AC solenoid valve opens, allowing refrigerant to flow through the respective condenser: ...

Page 22: Remote Communication
F – Interface and Communication Remote Communication Although dehumidifier is designed to operate as a self‐controlled device (not requiring any external control), communication between the dehumidifier and external control and monitoring systems is possible. WebSentry WebSentry is an online tool (also referred to as Web Monitor), that allows for remote communication to the dehumidifier for various purposes such as monitoring, data collection, parameters adjustment, and notifications. This feature is included with all dehumidifiers and is useful for maintenance teams and service providers (HVACR technicians). To establish Web Monitor communication, the dehumidifier must communicate with the factory server via the Internet: ‐ Connect the dehumidifier to a local network switch, router or wireless AP device (providing connection to a local network): Plug an Ethernet cable into the sub‐board Ethernet RJ‐45 jack (sub‐board, called Core Module, is located on the main control board in the main electric panel) – see Pic. F.2. Note: separate RJ‐45 jack (plastic, black) is mounted on the control board directly, for TouchDisplay connection. Make sure to use the proper jack (metal‐surface one, located on the sub‐board) for Web Monitor connection. ‐ Configure, as needed, local server and dehumidifier network settings. BMS (Building Management System) Communication to BMS can also be supported, depending on the type of communication protocol said BMS utilizes. The equipment control software supports most common of them ‐ different control software variation might be required to support different BMS communication protocols. Contact factory if necessary. BACnet (Internet, IP). Communication is established via the Ethernet cable (same method as Web Monitor).
