DHW METHOD 5b: Local DHW Tank Heating using an aquastat and a Hybrid Sensor.
In DHW METHOD 5b: Local DHW Tank Heating using an aquastat and a Hybrid Sensor, the MASTER’s Heat Demand input
enables space heating by energizing the system pump and maintaining the Heating Setpoint at the MASTER’s System Header
Sensor using the available MEMBERs. A MEMBER boiler will enable its local pump when called to service a heating call by the
MASTER.
Each MEMBER has its OR OVR input connected to a local tank aquastat. This method allows the DHW Temperature Sensor to
be placed in many locations. This sensor is called the Hybrid Sensor. When the aquastat located in the DHW tank calls for heat,
the local boiler goes offline from the MASTER and services the DHW call. The MEMBER then disables its local pump/valve,
and enables its DHW pump to maintain the DHW Setpoint at the Hybrid Sensor location. Once the DHW aquastat has been
satisfied, the boiler is placed back online for the MASTER to service the main heating loop.
MEMBER 2 is configured to use its Local Supply sensor when servicing DHW demands, and MEMBER 3 is configured to use its
DHW sensor.
