ULTRA-SORB MODEL XV INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Sequence of operation

OPERATION

FULL-TIME HEAT EXCHANGER OPERATION WITH ELECTRIC OR PNEUMATIC 
TEMPERATURE SWITCH

With control options #2 and #3, a 2-position (On-Off) shutoff control valve 
is not used (see Figure 4-2). The Ultra-sorb XV internal heat exchanger 
operates any time pressurized steam is available to the dispersion panel. Install 
the temperature switch downstream of the internal heat exchanger to prevent 
operation of the modulating control valve if steam is not fl owing through the 
heat exchanger.

1.  Upon air handling unit startup (Occupied Mode), air flow switch enables 

modulating control valve. Start/stop of fan provided by BAS or other 
control command.
a.   If air fl ow interlock is provided by BAS, then the BAS must provide a 

contact closure in series with the modulating valve 24 VAC power circuit 
as shown on the wiring diagram shipped with the Ultra-sorb panel.

2.  Humidification demand is provided by a 2-10VDC/4-20mA signal from 

BAS/control signal or humidistat, to the modulating control valve.

3.  Internal heat exchanger operates continuously. A temperature switch 

(electric or pneumatic) senses condensate temperature leaving the heat 
exchanger. If the temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger falls 
below 210°F (99°C), the temperature switch closes the modulating control 
valve to prevent condensate buildup in the steam dispersion panel header.
