® Chapter 6 VAV AHU example Figure 112: Discharge air control program properties Controlling the mixed air and outdoor air damper Operation of the outdoor air damper and subsequent mixed air temperature control must satisfy a number of scenarios according to the sequence of operation. Modulate the outdoor air damper between the adjustable minimum position and fully open to maintain the discharge air cooling setpoint when all of the following are true: • The economizer is enabled. • The outdoor air temperature is less than the economizer changeover (or outdoor air temperature) setpoint. • The air handler is in cooling mode. Modulate the outdoor air damper closed, overriding the minimum position, to maintain the mixed air temperature at or above the mixed air setpoint.

® Writing the discharge air control program Figure 113: Determining whether to economize Close the outdoor air damper completely when any of the following is true: • The unit is in unoccupied mode. • The outdoor air temperature falls below the low setpoint for the outdoor air temperature. • The supply fan is off. • The sensor for the mixed air temperature is failed. Determining whether to economize Because the control of the outdoor air damper is potentially complex, you may simplify the program by separating the decision to economize from the actual control of the damper. Complete the first part of this program, as shown in Figure 113, to determine some factors important to control of the outside air damper. • Use a Deadband block to check the outside air temperature against thelowoutsideairtemperaturesetpoint.Youwillusethisinformation later in the program. • Use a second Deadband block to check the outside air temperature against the economizer changeover, or outside air temperature, setpoint. Combine the economizer enable setting and the heat/cool mode with the result of this deadband to determine whether conditions warrant economizer operation. • Use a Network Configuration Input (nci) block to access the outdoor air temperature setpoint associated with the DAC profile.

Controlling the mixed air and outdoor air damper<br />

Operation of the outdoor air damper and subsequent mixed air temperature<br />

control must satisfy a number of scenarios according to the sequence<br />

of operation.<br />

Modulate the outdoor air damper between the adjustable minimum position<br />

and fully open to maintain the discharge air cooling setpoint when<br />

all of the following are true:<br />

• The economizer is enabled.<br />

• The outdoor air temperature is less than the economizer changeover<br />

(or outdoor air temperature) setpoint.<br />

• The air handler is in cooling mode.<br />

Modulate the outdoor air damper closed, overriding the minimum position,<br />

to maintain the mixed air temperature at or above the mixed air setpoint.<br />

Control the outdoor air damper to its minimum position when either of<br />

the following is true:<br />

• The economizer function is disabled.<br />

• The air handler is in heating mode.<br />
