coil temperature.coil temperature.The control loop senses the actual off-coil The control loop senses the actual off-coil
temperature and compares it to a temperature and compares it to a setpoint. The controller sends an output setpoint. The controller sends an output signal to a valve actuator which adjusts signal to a valve actuator which adjusts
the valve stem position which affects the the valve stem position which affects the waterflow through the valve and the coil waterflow through the valve and the coil
which impacts the off-coil air temperature.which impacts the off-coil air temperature.
