Abstract: A mixed air conditioning controller is formed as a factory assembled and adjusted unit in a compact housing, with simple and direct input/output field connectors. Various temperature and humidity input devices are field connected to produce a sequenced control of the air dampers and mechanical cooling and heating devices, as well as auxiliary devices. The controller includes a primary input related to room demand, an outside air temperature input, with an interlocked control to the damper, a fan status input, a minimum air supply control and a by-pass switch having a low limit input. The logic network connecting the input/output includes pneumatic switching, pressure selecting and comparing devices of a diaphragm-controlled-orifice construction connected to function as fluidic repeaters, pressure regulating valves and pressure isolating and switching devices. The controller includes a conditioning channel and a damper channel. An outside air interlock controls the damper channel and a presettable switch controls the minimum air supply control. The presettable switch also includes a low limit temperature signal input. An auxiliary output may drive a humidity controller having a conditioning channel and a humidity channel. The humidity controller includes an interlock network connected to transfer the humidity input signal to the conditioning channel and a switch means controlled by the auxiliary output of the temperature controller.

Abstract: A modular pneumatic control apparatus controls a mixed air handling units in an air conditioning system. The apparatus includes a single configured manifold module plate having a plurality of function module plug-in connectors and a plurality of input/output plug-in connectors. Function modules have complementary plug-in connectors for connection to the manifold module are designed with common opposite outer plates having surface passageways abutting a center plate with openings to define a particular circuit. The outer plates have all external ports for defining any function module used in any system. The manifold module is a constant architecture and acts as an interface between the system sensors and load devices and the function modules which create the desired complex control systems. Only a relatively small number of function modules are required. An interactive computer based design procedure can produce a series of questions to define the necessary function modules and supporting components and connections to completely design a system with only a minimal understanding of the control instrumentation and their characteristics.

A baffle is provided in the housing to direct a portion of the air from each fan into the air flowing from the other fan in order to mix preconditioned air with the room air. An electrostatic filter and white noise generator can be mounted in the housing and a light sensor and occupant sensor operatively connected to the controller.
