6.2.1 Dehumidification Types and Settings
There are four possibilities for dehumidification:
1. Cooling with Hot Gas Reheat. In this case the HGRH will be enabled in the above screen.
2. Cooling with Reheat performed by the heating source.
3. Cooling only. This mode could produce very cold air that might be uncomfortable if fed
directly to an occupied space.
4. Disabled. In this case no dehumidification mode is available.
6.2.1.1 Dehumidification with Hot Gas Reheat
This dehumidification method requires DX cooling. It relies on an additional HGRH coil
downstream of the cooling coil in which the hot refrigerant piping is in contact with the supply
airstream. This allows a portion of the refrigerant cycle's normally rejected heat to be reclaimed
as reheat.
When the return (or outdoor) air dew point exceeds the 55°F (adjustable) the dehumidification
mode will be enabled. The air is cooled to a cooling coil leaving temperature setpoint, usually
55°F or below. Then it is reheated to a CA temperature setpoint, usually around 60°F. An
adjustable PI loop will compare the measured air temperature to the air temperature setpoint
and adjust the analog output to the valve.
If the unit was ordered with HGRH, the coil leaving temperature sensor was included.
NOTE: For pack-
aged DX units, the
HGRH valve will
open to 25% during
compressor start up.

The settings for this method require that
u
Cool and HGRH are enabled in the
Unit Configuration.
u
A setpoint for the coil leaving temperature and the CA temp are set.
u
KP an Ti settings are adjusted for control of the HGRH valve, if necessary.
u
The purge settings are adjusted, if necessary. These setting show a low % whereby if the
valve is set to the low limit for the low limit time, which could cause oil to settle in the coil.
Opening to a higher value for a period of time will allow the oil to return to the compressor it
will be opened for the high override % for the override time.
