User Manual
HumiTherm-c (Dry-Wet)
This strategy eliminates the dependency on the user for switching off the compressor (for saving valuable electrical energy)
when not required. The Compressor Setpoint for this parameter value is usually set to the maximum expected Ambient
Temperature. It is usually not required to switch-on compressor if the desired Temperature is significantly above the Ambient
Temperature and thus a considerable energy saving can be achieved by keeping the compressor OFF.

Dry Bulb PV Strategy
In this strategy, the controller provides three user settable parameters, viz. Compressor Setpoint (CP.SP), Hysteresis
(CP.HY) & Time Delay (t.dLY) in PAGE 13 parameter list. The Compressor ON or OFF state is determined by comparing
the Dry Bulb PV with the Compressor Switch-on Level and the Compressor Switch-off Level. The Compressor Switch-on
and Switch-off levels are determined using Dry Bulb SP (db.SP), Compressor Setpoint (CP.SP) and Hysteresis (CP.HY),
as below.
Switch-on Level
=
Dry Bulb SP (db.SP) + Compressor SP (CP.SP)
Switch-off Level
=
Switch-on Level - Hysteresis (CP.HY)
The Hysteresis introduces a dead-band between the Compressor Switch-on Level and Switch-off Level. The following Figure
8.3 illustrates the compressor ON-OFF operation.

Examples
1) For Dry Bulb SP = 20.0°C,
Compressor SP = 1.0°C
&
Hysteresis
= 1.2°C;
Switch-on Level
=
20.0 + 1.0
= 21.0
Dry Bulb SP + Compressor SP =
°C
Switch-off Level
=
Switch-on Level - Hysteresis
= 21.0 - 1.2
= 19.8°C.
2) For Dry Bulb SP = 20.0°C,
Compressor SP = 1.0°C
&
Hysteresis
= 0.8°C;
Switch-on Level
=
20.0 + 1.0
= 21.0
Dry Bulb SP + Compressor SP =
°C
Switch-off Level
=
Switch-on Level - Hysteresis
= 21.0 - 0.8
= 20.2°C.
