At Angiotech, he installed the APR-E7 control on the lead 10-ton circuit of a 40-ton air conditioning system to extend runtime and minimize cycling. The device provided that lead circuit with the ability to modulate 70% in response to the temperature of the discharge air.

Most people usually lower the thermostat to feel cooler when the space has a humidity problem.”
