CHECKING CONTROL SYSTEM ON HOT WATER

UNIT VENTILATOR INSTALLATIONS
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Air lines should not be run in areas where they will be subjected to
subfreezing temperatures.
Checking Controls
Both the control system and the unit ventilator should be checked carefully for
proper operation.
1. Proper adjustment of the airstream thermostat is imperative. Field investigations

show that this matter is sometimes handled carelessly.
2. Check all phases of interconnected equipment.
a) A linkage between the damper operator and the unit damper(s) should be
checked carefully. A complete cycle should be performed to see that these
dampers are operating properly.
b) Check the unit ventilator control module to make sure it operates through its
various cycles of operation.
c) When day-night thermostats are used, check the push-button to be sure that
they operate properly and perform their required functions.
d) Unit ventilator valves.
i) A complete cycle should be performed to be sure that the valve is

operating over the proper spring range. Check packing to be sure that
valve operates freely.
ii) The valve should be so piped that it is wide open when the fans are off
(on water systems).

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Engineering Report H214 is intended to provide information on various types and

applications of unit ventilators. It will also serve as a guide in the selection of
equipment to properly control the units. All the figures shown in Chapters 1 through
6 use the bill of material shown in this chapter.
The control diagrams in this report are configured to show the four types of unit
ventilators; valve, damper, electric heat and direct expansion units. Choose what
type of unit is to be controlled, and follow the portion of the control diagram that
applies to your application. The text has parentheses () around the sentences that
specifically pertain to the damper controlled type unit ventilators, brackets [] around
the sentences that specifically pertain to the valve controlled type unit ventilators
and braces {} around sentences that specifically pertain to unit ventilators with
electric heat. Read the text plus a set of brackets that discuss the control method
being used.

CONTROL OF UNIT VENTILATORS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A unit ventilator is a type of unit heater, the principle functions of which are to heat,
ventilate and cool space by the introduction of outside air up to 100 percent of its
rated capacity.
Unit ventilators are used primarily in schools, meeting rooms, offices and other
areas where the density of occupancy dictates the need for controlled ventilation. A
unit ventilator is designed to provide sufficient heating capacity to assure rapid
warm-up of the room in the morning and to provide whatever ventilation and heating
are required during occupancy. In most cases it makes use of additional outside air
when excess uncontrolled heat must be dissipated.
A typical unit is equipped with a system of control that permits the heating,
ventilating and cooling effects to be varied while the fans are running continuously.
The basic components of a unit ventilator are a fan, motor, heating element,
dampers, filters and outlet grilles (or diffusers), all encased in a housing. Figure 1
shows a typical floor mounted (vertical) unit ventilator. Figure 2 shows a typical
ceiling (horizontal) mounted unit ventilator.
Figure 1. Floor Mounted "Blow Through" Unit Ventilator
2/90 4
Figure 2. Ceiling Mounted "Draw Through" Unit Ventilator
ASHRAE CONTROL CYCLES
Unit ventilators are generally controlled by one of the standard ASHRAE Control
Cycles (I, II or III). Variations in the amount of outside air delivered to the room
determine which cycle is used. All unit manufacturers use standard ASHRAE
Control Cycle designations.
Cycle I
One hundred percent outside air is admitted at all times, except during the warm-up
period. The low limit thermostat is located in the unit discharge and controls both the
heating source and the outside and recirculated air dampers.
Cycle II
A fixed minimum amount of outside air, normally 15 to 50 percent, is admitted

during the heating and ventilated period. This percentage is gradually increased to
100 percent, if required, during the ventilating period. The low limit thermostat is
located in the unit discharge and controls both the heating source and the outside
and recirculated air dampers.
2/90 5
Cycle III
A variable amount of outside air is admitted as required to maintain a fixed mixed air
temperature entering the heating element. The heating element is controlled directly
by the room thermostat without low limit interference. The mixed air thermostat
controls only the outside and recirculated air damper actuator.
Cycle "W"
In addition to the standard ASHRAE cycles of control, a fourth cycle, Cycle "W", is
widely used. Cycle "W" is the same as ASHRAE Cycle II, with one exception. The
low limit thermostat controls only the outside and recirculated air dampers. The
heating element is controlled directly by the room thermostat.
Warm-up Period
All control cycles provide an early morning warm-up period. The outside air damper
is closed and the recirculated air damper is open while the unit delivers its full
heating capacity. As the room temperature approaches the set point of the room
thermostat, the unit starts operating on its ASHRAE cycle of control.
COMBATING WINDOW DOWNDRAFTS
The use of large window areas presents a window downdraft problem which is
caused by chilled air flowing down the windows and into the occupied areas of the
room. Three basic methods of combating these downdrafts have been developed
for use with unit ventilators. These are shown in Figure 3, 4 and 5 and they operate
as follows:
2/90 6
Window Sill Radiation
This system consists of finned tube radiation installed along the wall below the
windows. Heated air rises by convection and counteracts the cold downdrafts. When
this type of window downdraft control is used, a valve must be provided with each
unit to shut off water flow through the finned tube.
Figure 3. Window Sill Radiation
Window Sill Recirculation
This system consists of ductwork with a return air intake at the top. It is installed
along the wall below the windows. The unit fans draw the air across the windows,
through ductwork, and into the recirculated air chamber of the unit.
Figure 4. Window Sill Recirculation
2/90 7
Window Sill Discharge
A portion of the discharged air of this unit is discharged into the ductwork located
along the wall below the windows. The conditioned air is discharged vertically
across the windows to combat the cold downdraft.
Figure 5. Window Sill Discharge
CONTROLS
Room Thermostats
Single temperature control is provided by a wall mounted T-4002 room thermostat.

Dual or day-night control is provided by a wall mounted T-4506 or T-4516 dual room
thermostat. Heating or cooling control is provided by a wall mounted T-4756.
Low Limit Thermostats
For ASHRAE Cycles I and II, the low limit thermostat can override the room
thermostat signal to control both the heat source and the outside and recirculated
air damper actuator. The measuring element should sense temperature of the air
stream on the discharge side of the unit coil.
When Cycle "W" is to be used, the low limit thermostat measuring element should
sense the air stream on the discharge side of the coil and control the outside and
recirculated air damper actuator only.
2/90 8
Cycle III control requires the mixed air thermostat measuring element to sense the
mixture of outside and recirculated air and control the outside and recirculated air
damper actuator only. Therefore, the mixed air thermostat acts as a low limit
thermostat by controlling temperature of the air entering the unit coil.
T-3200 series thermostats are used in heating or cooling units.
Return Air Control
Return air control can be provided by placing the room control sensor in a sampling
chamber. The sampling chamber is a device that directs room air across the sensor
and into the inlet side of the unit fan.
Single temperature control can be provided by a remote mounted T-3100 series

thermostat. Heating or cooling can be provided by T-3300 series thermostat.
The sampling chamber, when required, must be ordered by the Branch Office so
that the unit ventilator manufacturer can incorporate it in the units.
Outside Air Damper Actuators
D-3073 piston actuators are used to modulate the outside and recirculated air
dampers for Cycles I and III.
Figure 6. Return Air Control Valve Control Heating Only
2/90 9
A D-3070 two-stage piston actuator is used for Cycles II and W. The first-stage
movement of the actuator positions the outside air damper to admit the minimum
amount of outside air required for ventilation. This stage is adjustable between 0
and approximately 50 percent of maximum air quantity. The second-stage
movement positions the outside air damper to admit up to 100 percent outside air
for ventilation. The damper linkage is arranged so that the recirculated air damper
closes as the outside air damper opens.
A solenoid air valve is used to close the outside air damper, open the recirculated
air damper, and open the unit coil valve, on hot water installations, whenever the
unit fans are not running.
Figure 7. Return Air Control Damper Control Heating-Cooling

Heat Source Controls
1. Valve Controlled Units
Valve controlled unit ventilators utilize a valve to modulate the flow of water or
steam through the coil. By regulating the amount of water or steam, the heat
output of the unit is varied in response to the demands of a room thermostat.
Typical valves used are a V-3754 two-way valve or a V-4324 3-way mixing
valve.
2. Damper Controlled Units
Damper controlled unit ventilators utilize a face and bypass damper to vary the
flow of air across the coil. A D-3062 actuator is used to modulate the face and
bypass damper. An outside and recirculated air damper is also furnished.
OVERHEATING: Because of the high internal heat gain from lights and
people in classrooms, one of the chief functions of a unit
ventilator is to provide adequate cooling in mild weather.
Therefore, it is important, under maximum ventilation
conditions, that there be no appreciable heat pickup from
the heating coil.
To prevent heat pickup in face and bypass units, an automatic valve is usually
specified to close the supply to the coil after the face damper is fully closed. An
automatic valve is not required if the hot water temperature is varied inversely
with the outside air temperatures and if the compensation is such that the water
temperature is below 100F at 60F outside temperature. Whenever the
compensation is such that the water temperature is 100F or higher at 60F
outside temperature, a valve should be used on the unit coil.
When installed in water circuits with varying water temperatures, heating

equipment without fans (convectors) should be selected to include extra capacity
for warm-up.
3. Electric Heat Units
Electric heat unit ventilators are standard unit ventilators except that electric
heating elements replace the steam or hot water coil. Modulation of the heating
elements is obtained by a step controller (G-7185). Standard wiring diagrams for
electric heat unit ventilators are shown in Engineering Report H343.
2/90 11
4. Direct Expansion Units
Direct expansion units are standard unit ventilators which have a direct
expansion cooling coil in addition to either a hot water or an electric heating coil.
Usually, a remote mounted condensing unit provides mechanical cooling only
when the outdoor air temperature is above a fixed limit and will not satisfy
internal cooling requirements.
Factory Installation of Controls
The following equipment will be mounted and/or wired by the unit ventilator
manufacturer if it is ordered in time for shipment to the manufacturer.
1. Face and bypass damper actuators.
2. Outside and recirculated air damper actuators.
3. Step Controllers for electric heat unit ventilators.
4. Control Modules.
5. Return Air Sampling Chambers.
The unit manufacturer's extent of liability pertains only to the mounting of controls
indicated on the bill of material and to the internal wiring of the unit. Final calibration
and adjustments are the responsibility of Johnson Controls.

HEATING-ONLY UNIT VENTILATORS
General Information
Heating-only units have only a source of heat available at all times. Steam, hot
water or electric heat can be used. When heating is not required, a variable amount
of outside air is available for ventilation. Units are controlled by ASHRAE Control
Cycles I, II, III or Cycle "W".

HEATING OR COOLING UNIT VENTILATORS
General Information
Heating or cooling units have either a source of heating or a source of refrigerated

cooling (chilled water) available, depending on the setting of the central changeover
control. These units are always single-coil and have conditioned water available for
heating or cooling. During the heating cycle, all units can provide heating and
ventilating from outside air and are controlled by ASHRAE Cycles I, II, III or Cycle
"W". When the units are on cooling, a fixed minimum amount of outside air is
provided for ventilation.

The stroke of the outside and recirculated air damper actuator is limited by the
amount of air pressure passed by the pressure reducing valve. At 15 PSI supply air
pressure, the maximum output allowed by the air switching valve is 5 PSI. A 15 PSI

CHAPTER 4
HEATING AND DIRECT EXPANSION COOLING UNIT VENTILATORS
General Information
Heating and direct expansion cooling units have both a source of heating and a
source of refrigerated cooling available at all times. The selection is made
automatically by the room thermostat. The units have two coils, a direct expansion
cooling coil and a separate heating coil. The heat source can be steam, hot water,
or electric heat. Units are controlled by ASHRAE Cycles I, II, III or Cycle "W" during
the heating cycle. When the units are on mechanical cooling, a fixed minimum
amount of outside air is provided for ventilation.
A two-stage pressure electric switch is used to control the mechanical cooling. One
stage is used for changeover from the heating and ventilating cycle to the cooling
cycle. The other stage energizes the mechanical cooling.

2/90 30
Cooling Cycle
When outside air can no longer provide cooling, control air pressure from the room
thermostat increases. At 13 PSI the second switch of P/ES-2 closes and energizes
E/PV-2 and ASV-1. This returns the outside air damper to a minimum setting
through the pressure reducing valve. [The unit coil valve is closed.] {The step
controller is de-energized.} The unit can operate on the mechanical cooling cycle.
On a further increase in room temperature, control air pressure from the room
thermostat increases. At 14-1/2 PSI the first switch of P/ES-2 closes to start the
refrigeration compressor. The unit is operating on the mechanical cooling cycle.
As the room temperature decreases control air pressure from the room thermostat
decreases. At 10 PSI the first switch of P/ES-2 opens and de-energizes the
refrigeration compressor. At 8-1/2 PSI the second switch opens and returns the
control system to the standard unit ventilator cycle.

CHAPTER 5
HEATING AND COOLING UNIT VENTILATORS

(SINGLE OR DOUBLE COIL)
General Information
Heating and cooling units have both a source of heating and a source of refrigerated
cooling (chilled water) available at all times. The selection is made automatically by
the room thermostat. Four-pipe systems can be classified into two basic types;
those using room units with signal coils, and those using room units with double (or
split) coils. During the heating cycle units are controlled by ASHRAE Control Cycle II
only.
When on mechanical cooling, a fixed minimum amount of outside air is provided for
ventilation.
2/90 36
Single Coil Units
Figure 1 shows a simple schematic piping arrangement which would be used when
single coil units are applied to a four-pipe system. Sequenced two-way throttling
valves supply hot and chilled water.
Figure 1. Single Coil Four-Pipe System
A three-way valve is used for changeover from one return to the other. This valve
operates in a two-position manner. A pressure electric switch and solenoid air valve
are used to switch the valve during the dead zone or no-flow position of the supply
valves. The primary reason for this is to avoid throttling on the return side in an
effort to reduce the total required pressure drop in the valve and coil circuits.
2/90 37
Double Coil Units
Figure 2 shows a four-pipe system with individual room units having double (or split)
coils. Each coil circuit is separately valved and the hot water and chilled water are
not interconnected.
Figure 2. Double Coil Four Pipe System
Double coil units eliminate the possibility of interchange of fluids between the two
circuits and they also provide these other advantages:
1. Standard throttling valves can be used for control of the coils. Their ranges of
operation can be selected to provide the proper deal zones to effect maximum
economy of room control.
2. Since there are separate coils for heating and cooling, each coil can be sized to
suit its function. Due to the large temperature differential between the heating
medium and the air temperature, the selected heating coil has a much smaller
water flow requirement than the cooling coil. A valve can be selected to match
this flow requirement. The thermostat would then be controlling a heating and
cooling source with properly sized coils and properly sized valves resulting in
more stable control.
3. Use of higher temperature hot water is possible since the hot water coil can be
designed to accept this water temperature. This means that higher temperature
drops can be taken through the coils because the same heat output will be
obtained by circulating a reduced amount of heating medium. The result is
smaller hot water piping on both the supply and the return.
2/90 38
Electric Heating and Hydronic Cooling
Figure 3 shows a double coil unit with an electric heating element and a hydronic
chilled water coil. The cooling coil has a two-pipe water distribution system with a
standard throttling valve for control of the coil.

CHAPTER 6
INTERMITTENT NIGHT OPERATION OF UNIT VENTILATORS
General Information
Intermittent night operation is used in applications where a lower room temperature

is to be maintained during the unoccupied (night) periods and a higher room
temperature is to be maintained during the occupied (day) periods. T-4506 or T-
4516 dual temperature room thermostats are substituted for the single temperature
room thermostats used in standard control arrangements.
Methods of Control
There are three methods of accomplishing intermittent night operation:
1. Individual room control with partial day restoration at night.
2. Individual room control with complete day restoration at night.
3. Zone control with partial day restoration at night.
Pneumatic piping arrangements, wiring diagrams and descriptions of operation for

all three methods are contained in this chapter.
2/90 44
Figure 1. Heating Only Partial Day Restoration At Night
Day Cycle
During normal daytime operation, the dual supply air pressure is 15 PSI. Switches 2
and 3 on pressure electric switch P/ES-4 are closed, the fan is running continuously
and solenoid air valve E/PV-1 is energized to permit operation of the outside air
damper. The room thermostat is at its day setting and is controlling the unit in the
normal manner.
Night Cycle - Unoccupied
When the dual supply air pressure is changed to 20 PSI (night value), switches 2
and 3 open to stop the fans. Solenoid air valve E/PV-1 is de-energized and the
outside air damper is closed. The room thermostat is at its night setting, switch 1
is open, and the unit coil steam valve is closed.
NOTE: On water systems, the unit coil valve remains open throughout the
night cycle.
As the room temperature drops to the night setting, control air pressure from the
room thermostat decreases and gradually opens the unit coil steam valve to
permit the unit to operate as a convector. If the unit output as a convector is
insufficient to maintain the night setting, the room thermostat closes switch 1 to
start the fans. As the temperature begins to rise, the room thermostat again
stops the fans, and if necessary, closes the unit coil steam valve.

room thermostat decreases. At 3 PSI the room thermostat closes switch 1 to
start the fans and energizes the heating element switches of the step controller.
The unit operates at full heating capacity. As the temperature begins to rise, the
room thermostat again stops the fans and opens all switches of the step
controller.
Night Cycle - Occupied
If room occupancy is required when the unit is on night operation, the indexing
switch of the room thermostat should be depressed. This indexes the thermostat to
its day setting. Control air pressure from the room thermostat decreases and closes
switch 1 on pressure electric switch P/ES-4 causing the unit fans to run.
To return the room to night operation, manually release the indexing switch of the
room thermostat. This indexes the thermostat to its night setting and returns the unit
to intermittent night operation.
Operation of the central dual switch automatically brings the room thermostat back
onto step with the other room thermostats. Thus, the system will function normally
the following morning, even though the occupants may have neglected to operate
the indexing switch when leaving.

CHAPTER 7
UNIT VENTILATOR CONTROL MODULES
General Information
Unit Ventilator Control Modules are compact combinations of standard pneumatic-

electric, electric-pneumatic devices and optional thermostats which are used for unit
ventilator control.
The control modules perform switching operations in conjunction with the control
devices for the various cycles of operation and different forms of heating and
cooling unit ventilators. The electrical devices, solenoid air valves, pressure electric
switches, and optional thermostats are factory pre-wired and tested. Electrical
connections, which are ordinarily made from the controls to the unit ventilator
components, are terminated in polarized plugs which simply plug into mating
receptacles within the unit ventilator. Pneumatic control connections are made with
5/32 or 1/4 in. O.D. polytubing, to barbed fittings provided on the modules.
Models
Three series of modules are available for the following types of unit ventilator
control:
UV-1000 No Night Operation

UV-2000 Zone Night Operation
UV-3000 Room Night Operation
These U.V. Control Modules are available with or without a low temperature
detection thermostat and with or without a cooling lockout thermostat. In addition to
these alternatives, several others are available. Because of the many combinations,
code numbers have been given, with each digit of the number representing an
important feature of the control module (see Code Number Description). All Unit
Ventilator Control Modules are UL recognized.
Mounting
The U.V. Control Modules are designed for easy installation in a unit ventilator end
compartment. They may be installed directly by the unit ventilator manufacturer or
field mounted by Johnson Controls personnel. In either case, mounting holes are
provided by the unit ventilator manufacturers to facilitate efficient installation of the
modules.
