Objective/Method/Outcome
Objective: Determines if the heating valve is open when the unit is not operational
Method: The position of the valve is used to determine if the heating unit is open. If the status of the unit is off while the position of the valve is open, for longer than the acceptable amount of time, an insight is triggered.
Outcome: Triggers an insight if the heating valve is open while the unit is inactive.
Description
Monitors heating valve position and unit status, ensuring that valves remain closed while unit is not running. This is likely a control fault, and not an energy fault if there is no flow to the coil.
This rule is part of the CopperTree Standard ruleset.
Default Priority
Medium
Diagnosis
Review valve programming.
Message
Heating valve remains open while unit is inactive.
