Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.TerminalUnits.Reheat.SetPoints.ActiveAirFlow
Output the active airflow setpoint for VAV reheat terminal unit
Information
This atomic sequence sets the active maximum and minimum setpoints VActCooMax_flow,
VActCooMin_flow, VActMin_flow, VActHeaMin_flow,
VActHeaMax_flow for VAV reheat terminal unit according to ASHRAE
Guideline 36 (G36), PART5.E.3-5.
1. Information provided by designer
According to G36 PART 3.1.B.2, following VAV box design information should be provided:
- Zone maximum cooling airflow setpoint
VDisCooSetMax_flow - Zone minimum airflow setpoint
VDisSetMin_flow - Zone maximum heating airflow setpoint
VDisHeaSetMax_flow
2. Occupied minimum airflow VOccDisMin_flow
The VOccDisMin_flow shall be equal to zone minimum airflow setpoint
VDisSetMin_flow except as follows:
-
If the zone has an occupancy sensor,
VOccDisMin_flowshall be equal to minimum breathing zone outdoor airflow (if ventilation is according to ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013) or zone minimum outdoor airflow for building area (if ventilation is according to California Title 24) when the room is unpopulated. -
If the zone has a window switch,
VOccDisMin_flowshall be zero when the window is open. -
If
VDisSetMin_flowis non-zero and less than the lowest possible airflow setpoint allowed by the controlsVDisConMin_flow,VOccDisMin_flowshall be set equal toVDisConMin_flow. -
If the zone has a CO2 sensor, then following steps are applied for calculating
VOccDisMin_flow. (1) During occupied mode, a P-only loop shall maintain CO2 concentration at setpoint, reset 0% at (CO2 setpointCO2Set- 200 ppm) and 100% atCO2Set. If ventilation outdoor airflow is controlled in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013, the loop output shall reset theVOccDisMin_flowfromVDisSetMin_flowat 0% loop output up toVDisCooSetMax_flowat 100% loop output; (2) Loop is diabled and output set to zero when the zone is not in occupied mode.
3. Active maximum and minimum setpoints
The setpoints shall vary depending on the mode of the zone group.
