Constant Discharge Temperature
Control

General Information

CDTC systems maintain a set outlet temperature
based on the temperature control switch setting. This
is a closed-loop system. The same CDTC sensor is
used on both the front and auxiliary HVAC units.

CDTC Temperature Sensor Test

When testing the CDTC temperature sensor
(

Fig. 12

), the resistance will decrease as the tem-

perature increases, as shown in

Fig. 13
