Just FYI the damper on the terminal unit should never be 100% open. If the static pressure setpoint is set correctly by the Test and Balance / Commissioning contractor the damper will never be open 100%. The damper controls to a max cooling airflow and if it cannot achieve that airflow at any time there is an issue with the way the system was setup.

Awesome video. Total pressure enters forward facing holes on VAV inlet. Total pressure is velocity and static. Holes on backside of second tube doesn't sense low, just static. Controller measures differential pressure which is only velocity, the statics cancel themselves out. Having averaged velocity pressure and known duct size area gives control actual CFM. You have made a great video!

@Stomachbuzz3 жыл бұрын
It's now interesting to watch this video, as this is literally my job despite not having even heard of a VAV system 6 months ago. My job is the controller aspect of the system. Tweaking internal coding, values, confirming everything is operational, and networking all of them together and to the central BMS mainframe. I want to make a few notes: First of all, this is a perfect example of a concept I am quite fond of: increasing resolution of a system by adding more discrete units to it. For example, the old way would have been to have a Constant Volume AHU blasting air to every space of every floor no matter the actual temperature in those specific areas. Possibly oversimplified as just "heat" or "cool" for the ENTIRE building. Then maybe you segregate each floor to have independent control. Probably better as heat rises, so the top floor needs less heat than the basement. Then, within each floor, you add these VAV units to greatly increase local temperature control. "LOCAL" is the key word. But it is always a compromise of ultimate local control vs cost and complexity. Rarely does every single office room have its own thermostat and VAV. Usually one stat will control air for 3-5 rooms. On the other hand, some large open spaces may have several thermostats in each corner for example, each one controlling an independent VAV. Long ago, these units were actually pneumatic controlled. Now they are all digital control. Even a small office building may have 30-40 of these VAVs per floor. They usually can operate independently, in case of network failure, but can be monitored and controlled from an executive front end. The key concept here is modulation in the controls. The damper can be anywhere from 0-100%, constantly modulating to maintain setpoint. It may only modulate by 1 or 2%. The controllers use PID control algorithms to maintain setpoint. Monitoring input data such as room temp, discharge temp from the VAV, occupancy mode, and others. It is a bottom-up system. Each VAV modulates independently to its assigned room temperature. The AHU then modulates its speed (via VFD) to maintain setpoint (static duct pressure) in reaction to VAVs opening or closing. Another note is that the duct pressure sensor I've always heard to be 2/3 down the duct, not at the very end, which is interesting. The AHU uses chilled water to cool tbe supply air. The outside air compressor, or chiller, then modulates itself based on the return temperature of that chilled water. Many systems now take into account air quality, mostly CO2 data, but also room humidity. When possible, the AHUs will open their outside dampers to use cooler outside air, known as economy mode or 'free cooling'. Regardless of outside air temp, that outside air damper must remain open to a certain degree for CO2 regulation. So the damper opens with low outside air temps, and closes with warm outside air Temps, and also regulates itself on CO2 content. Electric reheaters in the VAV boxes are becoming increasingly common. "Value engineering" Electric boxes are cheaper and easier to make and install. Just run power (usually 277v) and done! The alternative is hot water reheat, which requires water pipes running to (and from) each box and a valve actuator. The flip-side is that Electric heat is very expensive. Additionally, buildings usually only have reheat boxes (of any kind) along the perimeter of the building. The central VAVs are typically cooling only. Fan-powered boxes do exist, but are rather uncommon in my experience.

To someone not involved in the trade, yes, it would seem like an obscure subject. But actually this system is used in practically every modern office building in existence. So it is extremely common and not at all obscure for people in the know. It is just one of the many, many things running above your head in the ceiling of an office building that you never see. Along with a plethora of computer wires, piping and electrical wiring.

For what it’s worth, network and server rooms should not be on a building’s VAV system. These rooms typically require constant cooling which is super inefficient as the AHU has to run all night/weekend. Also, return air is a common feature. Local codes only dictate the amount of fresh air per occupant or square foot, they don’t prohibit the return air.

An important thing to bear in mind is that many HVAC systems will contain a butterfly valve near the VAV system to back-feed the air back to the source. This valve is often wired to the thermostat via a mechatronic system. This is one of the many ways in which an HVAC system will modulate the air supply to produce comfortable conditions.

Depending on the building layout, a large HVAC system can contain one VAV or dozens (or hundreds)-which is to be decided jointly by the customers and the mechanical engineers. The reasons for an increased number of VAVs are many, with the predominant reason being a need for more varied temperatures across the building.

Maybe it's different in America, but in Australia you're generally recirculating most of the air while bringing in a small portion of fresh air. Hospitals and some buildings still require 100% fresh air, but for the most part we have a minimal amount coming in.
@rodneyhickman8253 жыл бұрын
That type of system means you must move alot of air to satisfy to satisfy co2 . The advantage is large air volumes are great for free cooling applications. The downside is your moving large volumes of air to get to get a much less amount of outside air . This required larger equipment and larger duct sizing and more energy to move the air . 100 percent outside air systems can move just much less air so less smaller equipment and ducts can be used . Instead of using return air to heat incoming air you can using a heat exchanger taking heat from the exhaust . This is a more modern way . This is especially true when floor space and ceiling space is a premium and costly.

Typically when troubleshooting VAV boxes you want to ensure that the dampers are fully opening and closing. You also want to ensure the electrical reheater/hot water valve is opening and closing fully. If not, it’s likely a bad controller or actuator. It can get more complex though, when measuring CFMs to find velocity and adjusting K factors!
