For a large humidification load, when the application
dictates a single humidifier with multiple outputs and/or
multiple humidifiers electrically tied together in a very
large common system, the time proportioning action is
still the same as the humidifying single output, except
that the additional electrical humidifying outputs are
sequenced on or off as demand signal dictates. The
additional outputs are turned on (100%) and off (0%) at
a rate equal to the delay time. The delay time has a
range of 4 to 99 seconds. The VAPOR-LOGIC default
is 20 seconds. See figure 26-1.
Example of Operation
Cycle Rate: 30 seconds
Delay Rate: 20 seconds
Control Span: 6-9 VDC
Input Signal: 1-15 VDC controller or humidistat
Time proportioning of the humidifier load takes place
only when the humidistat output signal is within 6 to 9
VDC range. As the signal drops below 6 VDC, the time
proportioning heater turns off and stages any additional
heaters off, one heater for every 20 second delay
period the signal remains below 6 VDC. As the
humidifier signal increases to 9 VDC, the time
proportioning heater will increase to 100% output; on
multiple heater applications at the point where the
demand exceeds 9 VDC, the time proportioned heater
will reset to zero output and turn on the first staged
output to 100%. For every 20 second delay period that
the signal is above 9 VDC, an additional staged output
will be energized, with the time proportioned output re-
energized as the last stage when a full output demand
is requested. As the humidistat signal stabilizes within
the throttling range (6-9 VDC), the modulated output
will continue to humidify on single output humidifiers
and will also continue to modulate with any combination
of additional staged outputs on multiple heater
systems.
