Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.CoolingCoilHumidifyingHeating
Information
This model can represent a typical air handler with a cooling coil, a variable-speed fan, a humidifier and an electric reheater. The heating coil is not included in this model.
The water-side valve can be manipulated to control the outlet temperature on air side, as shown in Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.AHUs.Example.AirHandlingUnitControl.
It's usually undesired to control the outlet air temperature by simultenanously manipulating the water-valve and reheater, because energy waste could happen in this case. For example, under the part-load condition, the water valve might be in its maximum position with the reheater turning on to maintain the outlet air temperature. To avoid that water-valve and reheater control the outlet temperature at the same time, a buit-in reheater on/off controller is implemented. The detailed control logic about the reheater on/off control is shown in Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Controls.Reheat.
The humidfier is an adiabatic spray air washer with a prescribed outlet water vapor mass fraction
in kg/kg total air. During the humidification, the enthalpy remains constant.
Details can be found in
Buildings.Fluid.Humidifiers.SprayAirWasher_X. The humidifer can be turned off
when the prescribed mass fraction
is smaller than the current state at the outlet, for example, XSet=0.

Heat exchanger
Information
This module impliments a heat exchanger model with a built-in PID controller to
control the outlet temperature at port_b2 if set parameter
use_controller=true . Otherwise, if set use_controller=false,
the PID controller and the three-way valve are removed and the outlet temperature at port_b2 will
not be controlled.
Note that if the three-way valve is activated, it'll have the same differential pressure as the heat exchanger.

Integrated water-side economizer on the load side in a primary-only chilled water system
Information
This model implements an integrated water-side economizer (WSE) on the load side of the primary-only chilled water system, as shown in the following figure. In the configuration, users can model multiple chillers with only one integrated WSE.
Implementation
The WSE located on the load side can see the warmest return chilled water, and hence can maximize the use time of the heat exchanger. This system have three operation modes: free cooling (FC) mode, partial mechanical cooling (PMC) mode and fully mechanical cooling (FMC) mode.
There are 7 valves for on/off use only, which can be controlled in order to switch among FC, PMC and FMC mode.
- V1 and V2 are associated with the chiller. When the chiller is commanded to run, V1 and V2 will be open, and vice versa. Note that when the number of chillers are larger than 1, V1 and V2 are vectored models with the same dimension as the chillers.
- V3 and V4 are associated with the WSE. When the WSE is commanded to run, V3 and V4 will be open, and vice versa.
- V5 is for FMC only. When FMC is on, V5 is commanded to on. Otherwise, V5 is off.
- V6 is for FC only. When FC is on, V6 is commanded to on. Otherwise, V6 is off.
- V7 is controlled to track a minimum flowrate through the chiller. If the cooling load is very small (e.g. when the data center start to be occupied), and the flowrate through the chiller is smaller than the minimum requirement, then V7 is open, and the valve position is controlled to meet the minimum flowrate through the chiller. If the cooling load grows, V7 will eventually be fully closed.
The details about how to switch among different cooling modes are shown as:
For Free Cooling (FC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are closed, and V3 and V4 are open;
- V5 is closed;
- V6 is open;
- V7 is closed;
For Partially Mechanical Cooling (PMC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are open, and V3 and V4 are open;
- V5 is closed;
- V6 is closed;
- V7 is controlled to track a minumum flowrate through the chiller;
For Fully Mechanical Cooling (FMC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are open, and V3 and V4 are closed;
- V5 is open;
- V6 is closed;
- V7 is controlled to track a minumum flowrate through the chiller;

Integrated waterside economizer on the load side in a primary-secondary chilled water system
Information
This model implements an integrated water-side economizer (WSE) on the load side of the primary-secondary chilled water system, as shown in the following figure. In the configuration, users can model multiple chillers with only one integrated WSE.
Implementation
The WSE located on the load side can see the warmest return chilled water, and hence can maximize the hours when the WSE can operate. Also it allows the primary pumps to be shut off when the WSE can handle the entire load. This system have three operation modes: free cooling (FC) mode, partial mechanical cooling (PMC) mode and fully mechanical cooling (FMC) mode.
There are 5 valves for on/off use only, which can be controlled in order to switch among FC, PMC and FMC mode.
- V1 and V2 are associated with the chiller. When the chiller is commanded to run, V1 and V2 will be open, and vice versa. Note that when the number of chillers are larger than 1, V1 and V2 are vectored models with the same dimension as the chillers.
- V2 and V3 are associated with the WSE. When the WSE is commanded to run, V3 and V4 will be open, and vice versa.
- V5 is for FMC only. When FMC is on, V5 is commanded to on. Otherwise, V5 is off.
The details about how to switch among different cooling modes are shown as:
For Free Cooling (FC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are closed, and V3 and V4 are open;
- V5 is closed;
For Partially Mechanical Cooling (PMC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are open, and V3 and V4 are open;
- V5 is closed;
For Fully Mechanical Cooling (FMC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are open, and V3 and V4 are closed;
- V5 is open;

Non-integrated waterside economizer in chilled water system
Information
This model implements a non-integrated water-side economizer (WSE) in the chilled water system, as shown in the following figure. In the configuration, users can model multiple chillers with only one integrated WSE. This model can be used in both primary-only and primary-secondary pumping system.
Implementation
The WSE is in parallel with chillers on both the condenser and chilled water sides. If the economizer cannot meet the entire load then it must be shut off. Otherwise, the relatively warm economier leaving water will be mixed with the cold chiller leaving water and hence the plant leaving water temperature will be above setpoint. For this configuration, there are only two cooling modes: free cooling (FC) mode and fully mechanical cooling (FMC) mode.
There are 4 valves for on/off use only, which can be controlled in order to switch between FC and FMC mode.
- V1 and V2 are associated with the chiller. When the chiller is commanded to run, V1 and V2 will be open, and vice versa. Note that when the number of chillers are larger than 1, V1 and V2 are vectored models with the same dimension as the chillers.
- V3 and V4 are associated with the WSE. When the WSE is commanded to run, V3 and V4 will be open, and vice versa.
The details about how to switch among different cooling modes are shown as:
For Free Cooling (FC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are closed, and V3 and V4 are open;
For Fully Mechanical Cooling (FMC) Mode:
- V1 and V2 are open, and V3 and V4 are closed;

Waterside economizer
Information
This module impliments a waterside economizer model that consists of a heat exchanger and a shutoff valve on each medium side. This waterside economizer model can be used in two different control scenarios:
- The temperature at
port_b2is controlled by a built-in PID controller and a three-way valve by setting the parameteruse_controllerastrue. - The temperature at
port_b2is NOT controlled by a built-in controller by setting the parameteruse_controllerasfalse. Hence, an outside controller can be used to control the temperature. For example, in the free-cooling mode, the speed of variable-speed cooling tower fans can be adjusted to maintain the supply chilled water temperature around the setpoint.
