Anticipator control
– Anticipator control
is used to turn off the heating equipment
before the room temperature actually
reaches the cut-out point.
Cut-in Point
– The air temperature at the
thermostat at which it initiates action of
heating/cooling equipment.
Cut-out Point
– The air temperature at the
thermostat at which it terminates action of
heating/cooling equipment.
Cycle rate
– Cycle rate is the frequency
that heating or cooling equipment is turned
on during a certain period of time. Cycle rate
is often given in units of cycles per hour
(CPH).
Dehumidify
– The process of removing
moisture from the air.
Dehumidifier
– Device used to remove
moisture from the air.
Differential
– Differential is defined as
the difference between the cut-in and
cut-out points as measured at the
thermostat under specified operating
conditions. For example, if the thermostat
turns the heating equipment on at 70
degrees F and turns the heating equipment
off at 74 degrees F, then the differential is
4 degrees F.
Humidifier
– A device used to add
moisture to a space.
Humidistat
– A control which is operates
the humidifier and is affected by changing
humidity.
Humidity
– Moisture in the air.
Programmable thermostat
– A thermo-
stat with the capability of automatically
adjusting temperature set point to pre-
selected settings at pre-selected times.
Setback
– The automatic alteration of the
thermostat control point(s) by means other
than manually changing the temperature set
point.
Set point
– The desired temperature
setting on an electromechanical or
electronic thermostat.
