Controller for room VAV box
Information
Controller for terminal box of VAV system with reheat according to ASHRAE
Guideline 36, Part 5.E. It outputs damper position yDam,
hot water valve position yVal, AHU cooling supply temperature
setpoint reset request yZonTemResReq, and static pressure setpoint
reset request yZonPreResReq.
The sequence consists of four subsequences.
a. Heating and cooling control loop
The subsequence is implementd according to Part 5.B.5. The measured zone
temperature TZon, zone setpoints temperatures TZonHeaSet and
TZonCooSet are inputs to the block conHeaLoo and
conCooLoo to generate the control loop signal.
b. Active airflow setpoint calculation
This sequence sets the active maximum and minimum airflow according to
Part 5.E.3-5. Depending on operation modes uOpeMod, it sets the
airflow rate limits for cooling and heating supply. See
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.TerminalUnits.Reheat.SetPoints.ActiveAirFlow.
c. Damper and valve control
This sequence sets the damper and valve position for VAV reheat terminal unit.
The implementation is according to Part 5.E.6. According to heating and cooling
control loop signal, it calculates the discharge air temperature setpoint
TDisHeaSet. Along with the defined maximum and minimum airflow, measured
zone temperature, the sequence outputs yDam, yVal,
TDisHeaSet and discharge airflow rate setpoint VDisSet_flow.
See
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.TerminalUnits.Reheat.DamperValves.
d. System reset requests generation
According to Part 5.E.9, this sequence outputs the system reset requests, i.e.
cooling supply air temperature reset requests yZonTemResReq,
static pressure reset requests yZonPreResReq, hot water reset
requests yHeaValResReq, and the boiler plant reset requests
yHeaPlaReq. See
Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36_PR1.TerminalUnits.Reheat.SystemRequests.
