Control Sequence
The following control sequence descriptions are typical for steam/hot water unit heaters.
Intermittent Fan Operation - Hot Coil
When a room thermostat calls for heat, the motor is energized. Hot water or steam is continuously supplied to the unit heater, even
when the motor is not running. When the thermostat is satisfied, the motor is de-energized.
Continuous Fan Operation - Intermittent Hot/Cold Coil
When a room thermostat calls for heat, a valve is opened, allowing steam or hot water to enter the unit heater. When the thermostat
is satisfied, the valve is closed. The fan runs continuously.
Intermittent Fan Operation - Intermittent Hot/Cold Coil
When a room thermostat calls for heat, the motor is energized. At the same time, a valve is opened allowing steam or hot water to
enter the unit heater. An aquastat may be attached to the supply or return piping to prevent fan operation until the coil is adequately
heated to avoid cold air delivery. When the thermostat is satisfied, the valve closes and the motor is de-energized.

➀ Motors are shaded pole for models HSB/HC18-33 and V/VN42-95. Models HSB/HC47-340 and V/VN139-333 are permanent split capacitor.
➁ Explosion
proof motors are suitable for Class I, Group D, Class II, Groups F and G, and Class III, Division 1 and 2 environments. Canadian Standard Association
(CSA) requirements state that the explosion proof units may not be used with a fluid temperature in excess of 329°F or pressures greater than 87 psig and still
maintain their explosion proof rating for National Electric Code ignition temperature rating T3B for grain dust.
Class I,
Group D motors are for operations in areas containing gasoline, petroleum, naphtha, benzene, butane, propane, alcohol, acetone, lacquer solvent or
natural gas.
Class II,
Group F motors are for operations in areas containing carbon black, coal or coke dust.
Class II,
Group G motors are for operations in areas containing flour, starch or grain dust.
Class III
motors are for operations in areas containing easily ignitable fibers and flyings.
Sound Classifications
While sound is created anytime fans and motors are used to move air, Modine unit heaters were designed to minimize their sound
level through the careful selection of motors, fan blades and the design of the air intake opening. Table 8.2 shows typical types of
buildings or rooms with a corresponding Sound Class rating. For a unit heater with a given Sound Class rating, when placed in the
type of building or room shown in Table 8.2, the sound of the unit heater will be relatively comparable to the ambient sound level of
all sounds within that type of building or room. The Sound Class rating for each unit heater is shown in Tables 12.1-13.2 and
18.1-19.2.
