Economizer Operation
The VPU2 provides support for either two-position or modulated economizer types. You can specify which type of
economizer you are using through a configuration parameter. Both economizer types are enabled based on availability
of “free cooling” from the outdoor air. Free cooling can be determined by dry bulb or enthalpy comparisons. In order to
provide maximum energy savings, the cooling stages are interlocked with the economizer.
Dry Bulb Comparison
Free cooling can be determined based on a comparison of outdoor air temperature and indoor air temperature. When
the outdoor air temperature is a programmable amount below the indoor air temperature (reference zone VAVI's zone
temperature), free cooling is enabled. When the outdoor air temperature rises above the indoor temperature (reference
zone VAVI's zone temperature) free cooling is disabled.
Enthalpy Calculation
An enthalpy calculation is performed periodically to determine if “free cooling” is available. The outside enthalpy is cal-
culated based on the outside air temperature and humidity. The outside temperature and humidity are measured by an
external device (such as an ASM Series) on the network and sent to the controller. The same calculation is performed
on the inside air based on the space temperature (reference zone VAVI’s zone temperature) and return air humidity.
The inside enthalpy minus the outside enthalpy must be greater than the
Free Cooling Setpoint
in order for the econo-
mizer to be used for free cooling.
Optionally, an external device can measure the indoor air humidity globally. In this case, the return air humidity sensor
would not be required at each VPU2.
Two-position Economizer
If present, the two-position economizer is enabled when there is “free cooling” available as determined by the enthalpy
calculations. When the economizer is enabled, the economizer triac output is energized. When the economizer is dis-
abled, the economizer output is de-energized. A configuration parameter is available to optionally disable the econo-
mizer during unoccupied periods.
Modulated Economizer
When configured, the modulated economizer is enabled when there is “Free Cooling” available as determined by the
enthalpy or dry bulb calculations.
Figure 14: Economizer Control
When the economizer is enabled, the economizer triac output is energized. When the economizer is disabled, the
economizer output is de-energized. A configuration parameter is available to optionally disable the economizer during
unoccupied periods.
When the economizer is enabled, a P+I control loop modulates the economizer output. The P+I control loop modulates
the economizer position to maintain a constant mixed air temperature.
