5.2 On request
The On status requires the AND logic of:
•
Unit configured by Service (I003)
•
No serious alarm
•
On by digital input
•
On by the OR of the following conditions:
o
On by pGD (X00a)
o
On by BMS
o
On by thTune, if present
o
On by scheduler, if enabled
Variable mode is shared with all the control sources.
If any condition go to OFF, the unit will turn OFF.
5.3 Cooling/Heating changeover
The external and room/return temperatures are considered: if
the external temperature is lower than a minimum threshold or
greater than a upper threshold the heating or cooling mode
can be forced:
In the middle, between the heating and cooling external
temperature thresholds, or when the external temperature
probe isn’t available the heating or cooling mode will be
decided considering the room temperature or the return
temperature (if the probes are available), here below it is
represented the behaviour in case of room temperature:
If the room temperature is greater than the setpoint, the unit
starts in cooling mode and remains in cooling mode until the
room temperature becomes lower than the setpoint for a
settable delay (H013), then the heating mode is activated. In
the same way, if the starting temperature is lower than the
setpoint the unit starts in heating mode and remains in heating
mode until the room temperature becomes greater than the
setpoint for the same delay.
5.4 Temperature regulation strategy
Compensation
5.4.1
The regulation of the unit could be done according the return,
supply or room set.
In case of return or room regulation, kVent provides the
compensation control strategy, based on return or room and
external temperature. Compensation modulate the supply
setpoint between the minimum and maximum supply setpoint.
Final supply setpoint is calculated as following:
%
%
%
-100% is equal to maximum supply setpoint and 100% is equal
to minimum supply setpoint, as in the following graph:
