Air conditioning system
An air conditioning system includes an air handling unit (AHU) configured to control outdoor air that is externally supplied, exhaust air that is discharged from indoors to outdoors, and return air that is circulated indoors and supplied again, control the outdoor air or mixed air of the return air and the outdoor air at a set temperature, and supply cool/warm supply air indoors, at least one outdoor unit configured to supply a refrigerant to the AHU, a controller configured to control the AHU through communication with the outdoor unit, and an interface unit configured to operate as an input/output unit of the controller. The interface unit displays setting menus for devices forming the AHU, sets basis data for controlling the devices in response to data received through the setting menus, inputs the set basis data to the controller, and outputs a control menu and a monitoring menu in accordance with functions of the AHU changed according to a configuration of the plurality of devices.
System and flow adaptive sensorless pumping control apparatus for energy saving pumping applications
A signal processor receives signaling containing information about flow rates from sensorless converters in zone circulators in heating/cooling zones controlled by temperature sensors in a hydronic heating system in order to derive an adaptive pressure set point to meet the flow rates requested by the heating/cooling zones using an adaptive system and flow control curve equation, the signaling containing information about total flow rates requested by the zone circulators; determines desired pump speeds for the zone circulators to meet temperature requirements in heat zones; provides corresponding signaling containing information about the desired pump speeds; and/or determines the adaptive pump control curve equation based upon an adaptive system curve and as a moving maximum system flow rate depending on an adaptive pressure set point, a system flow rate requested by temperature loads, a minimum pressure at no flow, a control curve setting parameter, and an adaptive moving maximum flow and pressure.
Economizer having damper modulation
A system having a mixed air box with inputs of return air from a space or spaces of a building, and of outside air. The mixed air box may have an output of discharge air to the space or spaces of the building. The air from the output may be return air that is conditioned with cooling, heat, or outside air. A damper may be situated at the input of outside air to the mixed air box. A temperature sensor may be positioned at the input for outside air and at the output of discharge air. A cooling mechanism may be at the output of the discharge air. The temperature sensor may be downstream from the cooling mechanism. An economizer may have connections with the damper, the temperature sensor and the cooling mechanism.
AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING INDOOR PRESSURE USING SAME
A method comprising detecting an indoor carbon dioxide level; detecting an outdoor fine dust level; driving an air supply fan and an exhaust fan such that an air supply amount of the air supply fan is greater than an exhaust amount of the exhaust fan based on detected indoor carbon dioxide level and outdoor fine dust level; and performing a first indoor pressure control of detecting an indoor pressure and controlling the air supply fan and the exhaust fan. In the indoor pressure control, based on the detected indoor pressure being less than a first set value, a number of revolutions per minute of the exhaust fan is controlled to be decreased, and based on the detected indoor pressure is greater than or equal to a second set value greater than the first set value, the number of revolutions per minute of the exhaust fan is controlled to be increased.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING A SPEED OF AT LEAST ONE OF A VARIABLE SPEED COMPRESSOR AND A VARIABLE SPEED CIRCULATION FAN TO IMPROVE LATENT CAPACITY
An HVAC system includes an evaporator coil and a metering device. The HVAC system includes a variable-speed circulation fan and a condenser coil fluidly coupled to the metering device. A variable-speed compressor is fluidly coupled to the condenser coil and the evaporator coil. A controller is operatively coupled to the variable-speed compressor and the variable-speed circulation fan. A second temperature sensor is disposed in an enclosed space. The second temperature sensor measures temperature of the enclosed space and transmits the temperature of the enclosed space to the controller. The controller determines if the temperature of the enclosed space is below a minimum threshold. Responsive to a determination that the temperature of the enclosed space is below the minimum threshold, the controller modulates at least one of a speed of the variable-speed compressor and the variable-speed circulation fan to lower a discharge air temperature.
