Humidity Set Point + (1/2 Proportional Band)

iCOM Controls Training and Service Manual

The humidity controller activates the first stage of dehumidification operation when the return air humidity level increases to 50% of the humidity proportional band. The second stage of dehumidification is activated when the return air humidity level increases to 100% of the humidity proportional band.

The humidity controller deactivates the second stage of dehumidification operation when the return air humidity level decreases to 50% of the humidity proportional control band value. The first stage of dehumidification is deactivated when the return air humidity level decreases to the humidity set point of 50% or 0% of the humidity proportional band.

If the compressors have unloading capability (4-stage cooling), then the compressors are activated in the fully loaded condition for each stage of dehumidification.

Increasing Humidity

Note: in the above example that the control band begins at the 50% humidity set point and has a length of 4%, which is ½ of the programmed humidity proportional band value.

As the return air humidity level increases, first stage dehumidification operation is activated at 52%RH or 50% of the dehumidification control band. If the return air humidity level continues to increase the second dehumidification stage actives at 54%RH, which 100% of the dehumidification control band.
