Download or read book HVAC Instrumentation and Control written by A. Bhatia and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HVAC systems are designed for peak conditions. Because these conditions prevail only for small period in a year, the HVAC equipment must operate most of the time at lean capacity. The function of the control system is to adjust the equipment capacity to match the load. Automatic controls are necessary not only to achieve the design conditions in the conditioned space but are also required for efficient operation of the HVAC system. The main parameters to be controlled in air conditioning system are temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality and thermal energy distribution. This 6 -hour quick book covers the basic control fundamentals of automatic controls in the HVAC system. Emphasis is placed on the control principles, terminology, basic components, control devices and direct digital control systems. Numerous illustrations and examples have been included to enhance the understanding of the course material. This course is aimed at the personnel who have some limited background in the air conditioning field or who may be having difficulty relating controls to air-conditioning equipment. The course is suitable for students, mechanical, electrical, controls and HVAC engineers, architects, building designers, contractors, estimators, energy auditors and facility managers.The book includes a multiple type quiz (30 questions) at the end.Learning ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to: * Define the basic blocks of control system;* Distinguish between open loop and closed loop systems;* Describe different types of temperature, humidity, pressure and flow sensors;* Define setpoint, control point, offset and throttling range;* Determine controller action for given the application;* Distinguish between direct and reverse reset;* Distinguish between the mixing and diverting valves;* Define flow coefficient, valve authority, controllability, rangeability and turndown ratio; * Describe the sizing of control valves;* Define proportional control, PI control and PID control;* Describe direct digital control terminology, hardware and control network;* Cite the energy saving benefits of DDC systems.

Download or read book Control and Instrumentation Technology in HVAC written by Michael F. Hordeski and published by Marcel Dekker. This book was released on 2000 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the latest technology on HVAC Controls. While most industrial controls have benefited from advances in personal computer control and sensor technology, building controls have lagged behind. Only now are some of the techniques used in industrial automation showing up in HVAC. HVAC Controls, optimizing HVAC, boiler and pump control, heat pump and chiller optimization, environmental controls wireless control, computer control, and bulding automation. As energy costs continue to grow in relation to overall operating costs, the need for more refined HVAC control becomes more crucial. HVAC strategies such as optimizing start-up time and supply air temperature, and minimizing fan energy and reheating are not only possible, but are becoming necessary. This book examines the relationship between industrial automation techniques and evolving VHAC systems, and how emerging technologies can now be applied to HVAC systems.

Download or read book Control Systems for Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning written by R. Haines and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two reasons why we have a new edition every four or five years. The first is that technology changes. Chapter 10, on computer-based con trols, has had to be almost completely rewritten. Fundamentals don't change, but the tools available to us do change. Evaluation and proper use of those tools makes it even more imperative that we understand fundamentals. Many of our control problems stem from the use of new devices as a solution to problems that are, in fact, control design errors. New gadgets, for example, Direct Digital Controls (DDC), will not solve basic problems and may even compound them. None-the-Iess, you will find an extensive discussion of DDC because I think it is the probable "future" in HVAC control. But it must be applied with a good understanding of fundamentals. The second reason is that I keep learning and need to pass on my new and improved understanding to my readers. Thus you will find a number of small but important revisions, a dissertation on control "modes," and a much more detailed discussion of how electronic control devices work. There are a few places where I have corrected what I now perceive to be errors. I apologize for these. I have been much encouraged by the acceptance of this book in the past, and I hope that this new edition will be helpful. Thank you for your support.
