摘要: Air conditioning systems for cooling multiple-zone spaces, each zone having a thermostat, where each of multiple pump modules delivers chilled water to chilled beams in a plurality of zones and a chilled-water distribution system circulates chilled water through a chilled-water distribution loop to the multiple pump modules. Current dew points are determined in zones that call for cooling, and temperature of chilled water delivered to the chilled beams is maintained for each pump module at least a predetermined temperature differential above the highest dew point within the zones served by that pump module. Each zone has a zone control valve to shut off flow to that zone. Serving a plurality of zones from each pump module reduces how many pump modules are required. Zones served by one pump module may be selected to have similar thermal loads. Pump modules may supply hot water when heat is needed instead of cooling.

摘要: Various embodiments include a method of controlling heat exchange via a terminal unit of a terminal-side circuit of a system for HVAC with a source-side circuit coupled to the terminal-side circuit comprising: reading a terminal-side supply temperature signal; producing a supply temperature from the terminal-side supply temperature signal; estimating a percentage demand signal as a function of the supply temperature; estimating an actual demand for power by rescaling a value of maximum available power by the percentage demand signal; comparing the actual demand for power to the value of maximum available power; and if the actual demand for power exceeds the value of maximum available power: producing a first flow control signal based on the value of maximum available power; and controlling a flow of a fluid through the source-side circuit based on the first flow control signal.

摘要: The present disclosure includes techniques that enable a conditioned air system to automatically restore functionality and/or to operate at reduced functionality when a fault is detected, for example, to facilitate reducing likelihood that continuing operation with the fault present will decrease lifespan of the conditioned air system. To facilitate improving operation of the conditioned air system when a fault is present, the control system of the conditioned air system may utilize substitute sensor data and/or adjust its control algorithm. In this manner, the control system may facilitate improving operational reliability and/or availability of the conditioned air system, for example, by adaptively adjusting its operation to enable the conditioned air system to continue operating even when a fault is present, while reducing likelihood that the continued operation will reduce lifespan of the conditioned air system.

摘要: An air conditioner indoor unit, comprising a casing, and a fan casing, an electric heating assembly and a heat exchanger assembly which are disposed in the casing. The fan casing has a return air inlet and an air outlet, the electric heating assembly and the heat exchanger assembly are both disposed at the air outlet of the fan casing, and the electric heating assembly is located between the fan casing and the heat exchanger assembly. Further disclosed are an air conditioner control method, an air conditioner, and a storage medium. Since the electric heating assembly is disposed at the air outlet of the fan casing and between the fan casing and the heat exchanger assembly, the fan casing and the heat exchanger assembly can isolate a fire source that may be generated by the electric heating assembly when the electric heating assembly has a blow or other accident.

摘要: An HVAC system includes a reversing valve configured to receive compressed refrigerant and direct the refrigerant based on an operating mode of the HVAC system. One or more suction-side sensors measure suction-side properties associated with refrigerant provided to an inlet of the compressor. The suction-side properties comprise a suction-side temperature. One or more liquid-side sensors measure liquid-side properties associated with the refrigerant provided from an outlet of the compressor. A controller monitors the suction-side property and liquid-side property. The controller determines whether the suction-side property is greater than the liquid-side property. If the suction-side temperature is greater than the liquid-side temperature, the reversing valve is determined to be in an equalizing configuration. The equalizing configuration corresponds to a configuration in which the refrigerant provided from the outlet of the compressor is directed to the inlet of the compressor without first being directed to other components of the HVAC system.
