maintain the space temperature setpoint as shown by modulating the secondary hydronic system zone
valve.
(3) When the system is in the unoccupied mode, the space temperature setpoint shall be as
shown.
14. CENTRAL PLANT STEAM DUAL-TEMPERATURE HYDRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM.
a. Description of the hydronic system. This hydronic heating and cooling system consists of hot
water from a steam converter, chilled water from a central plant, and related pumping systems. Figures
4-10a through 4-10f show the system design for this type of heating system using a SLDC control panel.
Figures 4-10g through 4-10j show the system design for this type of heating system using DDC controls.

b. General sequence of operation.
(1) Heating and cooling modes are manually selected.
(2) When the system is in the heating mode, the pumping system and the converter operate
continuously whenever the outside air temperature is low enough for the building to require heating.
When this occurs, an outside air temperature controller starts the system pump, and the converter
control is activated. The outside air temperature controller raises the hot water supply temperature as
the outside air temperature falls.
