Basic purpose of HVAC control
Daily, weekly, and seasonal swings make HVAC control challenging
Highly unsteady-state environment
Provide balance of reasonable comfort at minimum cost and energy
Two distinct actions:
1) Switching/Enabling: Manage availability of plant according to schedule using timers.
2) Regulation: Match plant capacity to demand

controller outputFigure 2-13

• Set Point – Desired sensor value
• Control Point– Current sensor value
• Error or Offset– Difference between control point and set point
![Page 8: Objectives Control Terminology Types of controllers –Differences Controls in the real world –Problems –Response time vs. stability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7f5503460f94935d1e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Two-Position Control Systems
• Used in small, relatively simple systems
• Controlled device is on or off– It is a switch, not a valve
• Good for devices that change slowly
![Page 9: Objectives Control Terminology Types of controllers –Differences Controls in the real world –Problems –Response time vs. stability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7f5503460f94935d1e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Anticipator can be used to shorten response time• Control differential is also called deadband

Modulating Control Systems• Used in larger systems• Output can be anywhere in operating range• Three main types
– Proportional– PI– PID

Electric (pneumatic) motor
Vfluid = f(x) - linear or exponential function

Issues with P Controllers
• Always have an offset
• But, require less tuning than other controllers
• Very appropriate for things that change slowly– i.e. building internal temperature
![Page 17: Objectives Control Terminology Types of controllers –Differences Controls in the real world –Problems –Response time vs. stability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7f5503460f94935d1e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Proportional + Integral (PI)
K/Ti is integral gain
If controller is tuned properly, offset is reduced to zero

Issues with PI Controllers
• Scheduling issues
• Require more tuning than for P
• But, no offset
![Page 20: Objectives Control Terminology Types of controllers –Differences Controls in the real world –Problems –Response time vs. stability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7f5503460f94935d1e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID)
• Improvement over PI because of faster response and less deviation from offset– Increases rate of error correction as errors get larger
• But– HVAC controlled devices are too slow responding– Requires setting three different gains

The Real World
• 50% of US buildings have control problems– 90% tuning and optimization– 10% faults
• 25% energy savings from correcting control problems
• Commissioning is critically important

Practical Details
• Measure what you want to control
• Verify that sensors are working
• Integrate control system components
• Tune systems
• Measure performance

HVAC ControlExample 1:
Economizer (fresh air volume flow rate control)
mixing
damper
fresh air
T & RH sensors
recirc. air
Controlled device is damper
- Damper for the air - Valve for the liquids
![Page 26: Objectives Control Terminology Types of controllers –Differences Controls in the real world –Problems –Response time vs. stability](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c7f5503460f94935d1e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Economizer – cooling regime
How to control the fresh air volume flow rate?
% fresh air
Minimum for ventilation
100%
If TOA < Tset-point → Supply more fresh air than the minimum required
The question is how much?
Open the damper for the fresh air
and compare the Troom with the Tset-point .
Open till you get the Troom = Tset-point
If you have 100% fresh air and your still need cooling use cooling coil.
What are the priorities: - Control the dampers and then the cooling coils or - Control the valves of cooling coil and then the dampers ?
Defend by SEQUENCE OF OERATION the set of operation which HVAC designer provides to the automatic control engineer

Economizer – cooling regime
Example of SEQUENCE OF OERATIONS:
If TOA < Tset-point open the fresh air damper the maximum position
Then, if Tindoor air < Tset-point start closing the cooling coil valve
If cooling coil valve is closed and T indoor air < Tset-point start closing the damper till you get T indoor air = T set-point
Other variations are possible

HVAC ControlExample 2:
Dew point control (Relative Humidity control)filter

heating coil

damper fresh air
T & RH sensors
We either measure Dew Point directly or T & RH sensors substitute dew point sensor
Humidity generationHeat gains
We should supply air with lower humidity ratio (w) and lower temperature

Relative humidity control by cooling coil (CC)• Cooling coil is controlled by TDP set-point
if TDP measured > TDP set-point → send the signal to open more the CC valve
if TDP measured < TDP set-point → send the signal to close more the CC valve

• Heating coil is controlled by Tair set-point
if Tair < Tair set-point → send the signal to open more the heating coil valve
if Tair > Tair set-point → send the signal to close more the heating coil valve
