APPENDIX 1 : Multi-staged HVAC theory of operation -
Staging for 2 stage normal Cool and 2 stage heat pump Cool
Target Temperature Maintenance in COOL -
If the room temperature is within the target temperature plus the “2nd stg
on at” setting, the 1st stage of cool will turn on. If the target temperature is not reached within 15 minutes, the 2nd stage
of cool will turn on with the 1st stage to the target temperature.
Target Temperature Recovery in COOL-
If the room temperature is beyond the new target temperature plus the “2nd
stg on at” setting, the 1st stage will turn on. Ten seconds later, the 2nd stage will turn on with the 1st stage to the new
target temperature.
There are two options for recovery: FAST and ECON. With FAST recovery, both stages stay on until the new target
temperature is reached. With ECON recovery, both stages stay on until the “2nd stg on at” setting is reached. Then, the
2nd stage shuts off and the 1st stage stays on to the new target temperature.
Staging for 2 or 3 stages normal Heat
Target Temperature Maintenance in HEAT -
If the room temperature is within the target temperature minus the “2nd stg
on at” setting, the 1st stage of heat will turn on. If the target temperature is not reached within 15 minutes, the 2nd stage
of heat will turn on with the 1st stage to the target temperature. 3rd stage is not used for maintenance.
Example: Target 70F, “2nd stg on at” 2F, maintenance occurs at room temperatures of 69F and 68F.
Target Temperature Recovery in HEAT-
If the room temperature is beyond the new target temperature minus the “2nd
stg on at” setting, the 1st stage will turn on. Ten seconds later, the 2nd stage will turn on with the 1st stage. 10 seconds
later the 3rd stage will come on with the 1st and 2nd stages.
There are two options for recovery: FAST and ECON. With FAST recovery, all stages stay on until the target
temperature is reached. With ECON recovery, all stages stay on until the “2nd stg on at” setting is reached. Then, the 2nd
and 3rd stages shut off and the 1st stage stays on to target.
