VAPOR-LOGIC
®
VERSION 6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Multiple-tank operation
MULTI-TANK MODE DEFINED
In multi-tank mode, one Vapor-logic controller can control multiple humidifier
tanks, and tanks in a multi-tank system can vary by energy source and
capacity .
A multi-tank system has one master controller controlling up to 16 slave
tanks . The master controller receives the demand signal and controls slave
tank steam production based on
• priority group,
• wear leveling,
• fault status .
The master controller also gives permission to slave humidifier tanks to perform functions, such as draining and flushing .
The master controller must be
• field-wired to all required control input signals,
• connected to all slave tanks via the DriSteem fieldbus,
• powered during system operation .
MULTI-TANK CONTROL INTERFACE
Most systems have one Vapor-logic keypad per multi-tank group . This keypad ships with the tank that has the master
control board . The keypad (or the Web interface; see note below) can be connected to any humidifier in the multi-tank
group . Maximum cable length from the keypad to any control board in the multi-tank group is 500' (152 m) .
Note: Multi-tank groups can also be operated using the Web interface . See “Multi-tank operation with Web interface”
OPERATION
START-UP ORDER AND TRIM TANKS
All humidifier tanks in a multi-tank group are factory-assigned to a priority group . There are four priority groups: 0, 1, 2,
and 3 .
Priority groups identify tank function
as follows:
0 = Trim tanks
2 = Priority 2 tanks (peak)
1 = Priority 1 tanks (load)
3 = Redundant tank
• Priority groups identify start-up order:
Tanks in priority group 0 are brought online first, followed by tanks in priority group 1, then 2 . Priority group 3
designates an optional redundant tank, which comes online only if a tank in the system is unavailable and the
remaining tanks cannot meet capacity .
• Trim tank responds first:
A trim tank is assigned to priority group 0 and is brought online first — always before tanks in priority groups 1, 2,
or 3 . The trim tank modulates continuously, responding to system demand changes .
Multi-tank groups requiring a rapid response to changes in system demand typically have an electric element
humidifier with SSR control as the trim tank .
Staging multiple XT humidifiers
XT and Low-maintenance humidifiers do not
operate in multi-tank mode; however, up to
four XT humidifiers can be staged to operate
in sequence .
