Sequence of operation
When the building thermostat calls for heat, contacts (RC) of the
R8285B control closes. This energizes the coils of R1 and R2
relays. With these contacts closed all the modules are energized
to fire. This will bring the system pressure up quickly. The P404A
pressure controls on each module (not shown in diagram, see fig.
16) are set to the pressure required to heat the building. This will
stage the number of modules firing to meet the demands of the
building load. The required modules will continue to fire until the
thermostat is satisfied.
There are several manufacturers that provide more sophisticated
controls for modular steam systems.
