Discharge Air Controller (DAC) Manual
Software Overview • 19
7.5.1. CAV Mode
The indoor fan will be controlled in one of three
ways:
• Continuous – The fan is always on, even when the
controller is not in heating, cooling, or
dehumidification mode. In variable speed fan
control, when heating or cooling is not active, the
fan will be ON at a fixed, user-defined idle speed.
• Auto – The fan is only on when the controller is in
heating, cooling, dehumidification, or outside air
damper operation mode.
• Summer ON, Winter Auto (SOWA) – This mode
allows the fan to operate in Continuous mode during
the summer months and in Auto mode during the
winter months (based on the season passed to the
DAC from the E2 controller).
If desired, activation and deactivation delays may
be set up for the DAC application for both heating and
cooling mode.
7.5.1.1.
Variable-Speed Fan Control in
CAV
When using a variable-speed fan, each heat and
cool stage has its own individual VS fan speed
setpoint. When one or more stages are active, the
DAC will look at the setpoints of all active stages and
operate the VS fan at the highest setpoint value.
Example: A DAC is controlling two heat stages.
Heat stage #1’s VS fan setpoint is 50%, and Heat
stage #2’s VS fan setpoint is 100%. When heating
mode first begins and the heat stage #1 becomes
ACTIVE, the fan will increase speed from idle to
50%. When heat stage #2 is activated for more
heating, the DAC looks at both heat stage #1 and #2’s
setpoints, determines that the highest setpoint belongs
to stage #2 (100%), and increases the fan speed to
100%.
7.5.1.1.1.
Economization VS Fan Speed
Because the controller treats economization
separately from mechanical cooling, the
economization damper has its own fan speed setpoint.
When economization is enabled and no other cooling
stages are active, the VS fan will operate at the
economization fan speed setpoint.
7.5.1.1.2.
CO2 Purge VS Fan Speed
When a CO2 purge is active and heating and cool-
ing are not active, the DAC will operate the VS fan at
the CO2 Purge VS Fan Speed setpoint.
7.5.1.1.3.
Make-up Air Offset VS Fan Speed
When make-up air is active, the current VS fan
speed will be increased by the Make-up Air Offset%
setpoint.
7.5.1.1.4.
Idle VS Fan Speed
When using the “Continuous” fan mode, the DAC
will use the Idle VS Fan Speed setpoint when no
cooling or heating stages are active.
7.5.1.1.5.
Dehumidification Offset
During dehumidification, a lower VS fan speed is
typically desired. The DAC uses a dehumidification
offset parameter to achieve this. When an offset
greater that 0% is specified in the DAC, the offset is
subtracted from the final VS fan speed when
dehumidification is active.
For example, if the dehumidification offset is 5%,
and cool stage 1’s VS fan speed setpoint is 50%, when
dehumidification is active with one cooling stage ON,
the VS fan speed will be adjusted down to 45% (50%
- 5%). If a second cool stage with a setpoint of 100%
were to turn ON, the VS fan speed would increase to
95% (100% - 5%).
7.5.1.1.6.
VAV Mode
For VAV applications, the supply duct static
pressure must be controlled to avoid over
pressurization of the ductwork. The DAC can support
control of the duct static pressure using either a
variable speed fan or a single speed fan in conjunction
with a bypass damper.
7.5.1.2.
Single Speed with Bypass
Damper
The single speed fan will activate as described in
. When the fan is active, the
duct static pressure will be controlled using a
modulating bypass damper. When the bypass damper
is at 0%, it is considered fully closed, meaning no
supply air is bypassed to the return. As the static
pressure in the duct rises above the static pressure
setpoint, the bypass damper will begin to open based
on the output from a PID loop (direct acting), thus
relieving the pressure in the duct.
7.5.1.3.
Variable-Speed Fan Control in
VAV
The variable-speed fan will activate as described
in
Once active, the speed
of the fan will modulate to maintain the duct pressure
setpoint. As the static pressure falls below the
