7. Pressure Ramping (Optional) Explanation
High Volume of Slow Warm Air
Low volume of fast moving air enters the vents and is "thrown"
to the ceiling, where it is slowed, and warmed by the mixing with
the warmer air in the top of the enclosure before settling down
to the bottom of the building.
The above illustrations show the need for a different air flow rate when the temperature changes. This is
accomplished with the ramping feature.
Ramping allows you to set a band of pressure to be maintained, taking into account the OUTSIDE
temperature. (After all, outside air is what is flowing into the house.) If the outside temperature is warm,
it will allow taking in a large volume of slow moving warm air (low static pressure), but when outside air
is cold, the Vent Master will adjust to allow a low volume of fast moving cold air (high static pressure).
Using figures from the chart above; the controller was programmed as follows:
P21 = Pressure Differential 0.02” w.c.
P30 = Ramping Mode ON
P31 = High Temperature Limit 80°F
P32 = High Temperature Target Pressure 0.03" w.c.
P34 = Low Temperature Limit 40°F
