Digital-FloTM Steam/Water Plate & Frame Heat Exchanger

InstallationCommissioning must be carried out in accordance with these instructions by designated, qualifi ed and competent personnel.

ElectricalDigital-Flo requires electrical power to be supplied to the DRV80 and the Hot Water shut off valve. DRV80 is suitably rated (US NEMA 5) 12V DC electrical device which is supplied with a “smart” transformer capable of receiving 110V or 220V service. The electrical cable from the DRV80 transformer terminates in a two pronged plug suitable for insertion into a typical receptacle/outlet. A fused set of circuit blocks is provided in an enclosure to power the safety solenoid valve.

Digital-Flo requires a secondary side circulating pump which is not supplied as standard by Armstrong.

If the Digital-Flo low surface temperature option is selected an optional Sauter valve will need to be powered/wired.

A licensed electrician familiar with local code requirements should be engaged to install an outlet(s) with suitable amperage and circuit protection to power both the DRV80 and the safety solenoid valve.

Installation

1. Before any installation or maintenance procedure, always ensure that all primary steam and condensate return lines and secondary water lines are isolated.

2. Ensure any residual internal pressure in the system or connecting pipework is carefully relieved.3. Allow hot parts to cool before commencing work, to avoid the risk of burns.4. Always wear appropriate safety clothing before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.5. Place Digital-Flo in its desired location ensuring that there is adequate space left for service and maintenance

access. Secure stand to fl oor if necessary.

6. Connect an appropriately sized inlet steam supply pipe to the inlet of the heat exchanger shell. Note: The steam supply must be controlled such that the maximum operating conditions are not exceeded (see page 10). A pressure reducing valve should be used to achieve these conditions where necessary. In addition where the steam pressure might exceed the maximum rating of Digital-Flo a suitably sized safety relief valve should be fi tted to the incoming steam supply.

7. Connect the condensate return to the integral steam trap outlet (tagged accordingly).

8. Connect inlet cold water supply (tagged accordingly).9. Connect outlet (to system) (tagged accordingly).10. Connect recirculation return pipework (tagged accordingly).

Note: A system side recirculation pump must be maintained at all times installed on the inlet to the unit.

Note: Balance valves should be fi tted to all circuits per generally accepted piping practices.

Note: Satisfactory condensate removal is important to achieving optimum heater performance. As such an integral steam trap is supplied. Under certain conditions, constant pressure steam installations aid condensate removal prior to system stall point without the requirement for ancillary equipment.

Constant pressure steam systems which require condensate lift in excess of the inlet pressure available and low surface temperature models will require the use of a mechanical or electric pumping trap.

Note: Digital-Flo is supplied with an enable/disable high temperature limit protection for the secondary circuit.

10. Slowly open the inlet steam supply valve to Digital-Flo.

11. Adjust Steam Pressure Reducing Valve (if installed)

12. Check the LED display on the DRV80. The display will indicate the secondary side delivery temperature and the system setpoint.

Note: Hot Water safety solenoid is controlled by a relay output on DRV80. Relay will open the normally closed solenoid valve AFTER it has gone through it full start up sequence providing no errors or faults are present.

Note: DRV80 is supplied factory preset to system temperature based upon information previously supplied toArmstrong.

Note: DRV80 is factory preset with a high limit default 18°F/10°C above DRV80 set point. To adjust DRV80 set point, high limit default or to enable/disable other integral valve features refer to pages 25-27.

Note: At system start up the display on the DRV80 may read a “temp low”.

Adjusting Temperature

Armstrong has technical support personnel available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Call Toll Free 1-888-468-4673.

Important: The DRV80 is supplied to the job site preprogrammed to an outlet temperature set point specifi ed to Armstrong at the time the order was placed. In addition, Armstrong has enabled two levels of “out of temperature range” alerts. The alert presets can be adjusted by using the control software. Out of Temperature Range Alert Level 1 preset: +/- 5°F from set point = DRV80 will display “Temp High” or “Temp Low” only.

Out of Temperature Range Alert Level 2 preset: +/- 10°F from set point = DRV80 will display “Error Temp” and shut off inlet hot water supply.

The following example shows how the above settings affect the DRV80’s operation:

Note! The “Setpoint” value does not need to be the same as the “Default” value. Both “Setpoint” and “Default” are adjustable within the “Max.” and “Min.” range only.

Important! The software will not allow an “Error Temp.” value to be set lower than the “Max.” value plus the “Above” value.

There are three options for on site temperature adjustment:1. Temperature Adjustment using a Laptop Computer with software and a USB port adapter (supplied with

valve).2. Temperature Adjustment using a Building Automation System (BAS) or local area computer network (LAN)

with a direct 12 to 30vdc, 4-20mA connection to the DRV80. This is termed “Remote Setpoint Adjustment”.3. Temperature Adjustment using a Web Browser via the integral serial port and BrainScan™ supplied by

Armstrong.*

* This option is detailed in a separate Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM) Guide for BrainScan™. Available by contacting Armstrong technical support.

Switch “Offl ine” to make changes to “Options”.

The “Address” of the DRV80 as used by the BrainScan™ can be set to “Standard” or “Alternate”. This allows the use of two DRV80s on one serial line, such as DMC2 or DMC3 recirculation systems.Set the fi rst DRV80 to “Standard” and the second DRV80 to “Alternate”. The “Write” button must be pressed after this option is changed.Important Note: This function will only work with DRV80 version 9 and onwards. This can be found under “Valve Information” on the “DRV80 Control Screen”.

The “Offset” enables the system to correct for temperature loss and mixing conditions by creating a temperature offset to the valve. The offset temperature is subtracted from the setpoint temperature, this allows the valve to produce water at the correct temperature at the required point in the circuit. The offset is limited to ± 9°F (± 5°C). The “Write” button must be pressed after this option is changed.Important Note: This function will only work with DRV80 Version 9 and onwards. This can be found under “Valve Information” on the “DRV80 Control Screen”.

The temperature conversion units can be changed from °F to °C.

If the setpoint is required to be controlled via external software, switch the setpoint source to “Ext. 4-20mA”. Refer to section “DRV80 using Building Automation System (BAS)” for further details (page 35).Note! After changing the temperature display units or the setpoint source, the valve must be unplugged (powered off/on electrically) to complete the change. Press “Read” to confi rm the settings.

The “Disinfection Timeout” is the maximum number of minutes the temperature error messages are disabled to allow for disinfection and cool down before automatically switching back to normal operation. The “Disinfection Enable” box must be checked before the disinfection mode can be armed and triggered.

Caution! All temperature error messages could remain disabled after disinfection has been completed. During “Disinfection Timeout”, the temperature within the blend circuit is not thermostatically controlled until the “Cool Down” button is pressed.

Alarms - Explained

Armstrong has technical support personnel available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Call Toll Free 1-888-468-4673.

Example 1:

The DRV80 does not contain an audible alarm, however, the error relay may be used to send an alarm signal from the DRV80 if the blend temperature falls outside either the “Above” or “Below” tolerance values of the setpoint. If the blend temperature exceeds the “Error Temp.” value, the DRV80 activates the error relay and closes down to full cold. For more details on the error relay connection see section “DRV80 using Building Automation System (BAS)” in the Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Note! The “Setpoint” value does not need to be the same as the “Default” value. Both “Setpoint” and “Default” are adjustable within the “Max.” and “Min.” range only.

DRV80 using Building Automation System (BAS)

Armstrong has technical support personnel available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. Call Toll Free 1-888-468-4673.

DRV80 contains three integral connection points for component/system integration.1. Building Automation SystemThe DRV80 can be adjusted remotely when linked via its integral 12 to 30vdc, 4-20mA connection to a Building Automation System (BAS) or Local Area Computer Network (LAN).

Two signal connections can be made via a 3/8” Liquitight connector conduit fi tting.

The connections are:Remote Setpoint Adjustment. The ability to change the setpoint on the DRV80 via a Building Automation System (BAS) or Local Area Computer Network (LAN). This is an opto-isolated input intended for connection to a 12 to 30vdc, 4-20mA self powered transmitter with a maximum output of 12V. The connection is used to determine the DRV80’s setpoint and is scaled at 4-20 mA for 0 - 100°C. The input signal is only active when the DRV80 is con-fi gured to “Ext. 4-20 mA”. These settings can only be altered when the DRV80 is switched to its “Offl ine” state.

Actual Outlet Temperature Reading. The ability to link the computer signal from the DRV80 outlet temperature thermistor to a Building Automation System (BAS) or Local Area Computer Network (LAN).This is an opto-isolated signal intended for connection to a 4-20 mA self powered indicator with a maximum out-put of 12V. The signal sends the DRV80’s outlet temperature and is scaled at 4-20 mA for 1 - 100°C.

2. Error Relay ConnectionThe DRV80 can be connected to a downstream audible alarm, a solenoid valve or another ancillary device via a direct connection to its error relay via a liquitight connector conduit fi tting.

This provides a connection to a set of single pole changeover relay contacts fused at 2 Amps. When the DRV80 is operating normally, the relay is energized and therefore the contacts are closed. The relay is de-energized and the contacts are open under the following circumstances:

1. Power failure.2. Start up sequence.3. Outlet temperature causing an alarm signal.4. Outlet temperature causing an error signal.5. Internal fault on PCB.6. Battery failure.7. Thermistor failure.

3. Serial Line Connection*The DRV80 provides an RS485 serial interface for connection to BrainScan™.

Note: BrainScan™ is not specifically addressed by this Installation Manual.

* Serial Line Connection is detailed in a separate Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM) Guide for Brain-Scan™. Available by contacting Armstrong technical support.

Operation

Digital-Flo™ employs digital technology to monitor inlet hot supply, inlet cold/system return water temperature.

In constant pressure steam supply systems this eliminates the requirement for a steam control valve.

Digital-Flo is supplied pre-piped and pressure tested with an integral digital re-circulating valve (The Brain – Model DRV80).

Inlet (2) and outlet (2) thermistors integral to The Brain and the time proven water temperature control accuracy eliminate the requirement for the external temperature sensors, programmers and controllers typically associated with steam heat exchangers.

A low surface temperature option is available which requires a secondary controller for applications where higher mineral content water portends a scaling concern.

Maintenance - Digital Re-Circulating Valve

Time Interval: Minimum once per year.

Performance: Check temperatures and fl ow rates against commissioning data.

Batteries: Batteries are supplied to ensure the valve switches to a “Safe Mode” in the event of a primary power supply failure.

Battery life is variable depending on usage. A battery error message appears on the valve display when they require changing.

Where primary power supply failure occurs regularly or the valve is installed within a supply system where safety is critical, the batteries MUST be changed at least every 12 months as part of an annual maintenance routine.

Troubleshoot Guide

Problem Cause Solution

1. Unable to bring Secondary Side to temperature.

1. Primary side system fault. a. Check the steam system valve.b. Check the high temperature shut off valve is open. Spindle should be in the

down position.c. Ensure the high temperature trip setting in the DRV80 is set at least 10°C higher

than the desired hot water temperature.d. Check steam trap isolation valves are open.e. Check that the condensate temperature after the steam trap is at steam

temperature. If not, the steam trap may be blocked or the back pressure in the condensate line may be too high. Disconnect the pipework after the steam traps, running the condensate to drain, and see if the hot water comes up to temperature. If not, investigate potential problems on the condensate system or install a pump trap to overcome the higher back pressure. It no condensate exits the steam trap, disassemble and check for blockage.

f. If the “Low Surface Temperature” option is fi tted ensure the set point in the Econotrol panel (normally 90°C) is set higher than the hot water temperature set point on the DRV80. Please consult the LST/Econotrol IOM.

2. Secondary Side system fault. a. Check that the Secondary Side re-circulation line is hot. If it cool, then the non return valve may not be working correctly. A failed NRV may cause the cold water to bypass heat exchanger.

2. Secondary Side system temperature rises during periods of no system demand.

1. Secondary Side system fault. a. Flow rate is less than 10 GPM - reset fl ow rate, check for air locks, closed valves, pump failure, etc.

b. Return temperature less than 2°F below DRV80 set point. Ensure minimum temp drop around circuit of 2°F.

c. Check valve problem. Make sure placement of check valve is correct. Refer to installation schematics. Ensure that check vales are fully functional.

d. Water pressure. Ensure maintained supply pressures are balanced. Ensure that there is mixed return to water heater.

e. Flow problem. Ensure maintained supply pressures are balanced. Ensure that there is mixed return to water heater.

2. DRV80 fault a. Refer to DRV80 display error messages.

3. Secondary Side system temperature fl uctuates more than +/- 5°F.

1. Secondary Side system fault. a. Maintained supply pressures are unequal. Ensure that pressures are balanced. Check for blocked fi lters, closed valves, air locks, etc.

b. Supply temperatures. Check for reasonable temperature differential between set point and hot and cold inlet supply temperatures to DRV80.

2. DRV80 fault. a. Spool sticking. Clean and descale pool. Renew separator seal and lubricate assembly.

b. Refer to DRV80 display error messages.c. Poor calibration. Refer to DRV80 “Valve Calibration” screen.

3. Primary side system fault. a. Check the steam pressure before the high limit valve or before the pressure reducing valve (if fi tted). If the steam pressure is decreasing under normal conditions, there may be insuffi cient steam available to meet the higher hot water demands.

If the “Low Surface Temperature” option is fi tted ensure the control valve is set 30 second travel time. Refer to the actuator IOM for more information.b. The demand from the hot water system is greater than the designed capacity of

the PHE. Take measures to reduce Secondary Side hot water demand.

4. DRV80 display shows any of the following.

1. System fault. a. Water supply problem. Check supply temperature between PHE and DRV80.b. Perform hard set: Turn power to DRV80 off 10 seconds and restart.

2. DRV80 fault. a. Spool sticking. Clean and descale spool. Renew separator seal and lubricate assembly.b. Refer to DRV80 display error messages.

a. System does not fully return to normal temperature within the “Disinfection Timeout” period. Check the following: • Disinfection Timeout value (Valve Setup: screen). • Cool down start and fi nish times. • Use Dump Valve to speed up Cool Down time.b. Early abort of disinfection process.
