Notes: Minimum/maximum limits are only for start-up
20.0
conditions, and are meant for bringing the space up to
26.7
occupancy temperature. Units are not designed to operate
at the minimum/maximum conditions on a regular basis. The
operating limits are dependent upon three primary factors: 1)
-6.7
water temperature, 2) return air temperature, and 3) ambient
temperature. When any of the factors are at the minimum or
-1.1
maximum levels, the other two factors must be at the normal
32.2
level for proper and reliable unit operation.
