Lecture Objectives:
• Learn about automatic control
• Use life-cycle cost analysis integrated in eQUEST

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

Detail control system simulationMatLAB - Simulink
Control system simulation - take into account HVAC component behavior but focus more on control devices and stability of control scheme
![Page 8: Lecture Objectives:](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052702/568154a0550346895dc2b473/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Models integrated in HVAC System simulation Example:
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 9: Lecture Objectives:](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052702/568154a0550346895dc2b473/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Controlled device is damper
- Damper for the air - Valve for the liquids
% fresh air
Minimum for ventilation
100%

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
Sequence of calculation in energy simulation modeling is different than sequence of operation !
We often assume perfect aromatic control

Life Cycle Cost Analysis
• Engineering economics

Life Cycle Cost Analysis
• Engineering economics
• Compound-amount factor (f/p)• Present worth factor value (p/f) • Future worth of a uniform series of amount (f/a)• Present worth of a uniform series of amount (p/a)• Gradient present worth factor (GPWF)

Parameters in life cycle cost analysis
Beside energy benefits expressed in $,you should consider:
• First cost• Maintenance• Operation life• Change of the energy cost • Interest (inflation)• Taxes, Discounts, Rebates, other Government
measures
