AHU (Air Handling Unit) System:

Control Logic for AHU System:

1. Temperature & RH Control: - RH Regulation: There will

be continuous monitoring of return air RH by putting RH sensor on
return air duct. RH (Humidity) can be controlled by the regulation
of chilled water. RH regulation is based on the comparison of RH
set point with feed back RH to the controller and works as follows:
If RH>Set Point RH CHW Motorized valve will be modulated
towards open position as per Proportional Band set and allows
more flow of chilled water to the coil to achieve the set RH
requirements.
If RH<Set Point RH CHW Motorized valve will be modulated
towards closed position to reduce chilled water supply to the coil.
Temperature Regulation: There will be continuous
monitoring of return air temperature by placing Return Air
Temperature Sensor on the return air duct. Temperature can
be controlled by applying hot water/heat (Incase of Heater
Control Unit in AHU). Temperature regulation is based on
the comparison of temperature set point with feed back
Temperature and works as follows.
If RAT>SAT CHW Motorized valve will be modulated
towards open position as per proportional band set.
If RAT<SAT Hot water Motorized valve will be modulated
towards open position as per the proportional band.

2. Chilled Water Valve Control: - There will be continuous

monitoring of return air RH by putting RH sensor in return air
duct. RH regulation can be controlled by the flow of brine
water if not through Chilled water & is works as follows.
If RH>>Set RH & is not maintained through chilled water,
Brine water motorized valve will be modulated towards open
position as per proportional band set.

3. Variable Frequency Drive Control: -The Supply Air

Velocity shall be monitored by the Flow Measuring station,
Located at the Supply Air Duct, and shall Control the
Variable Frequency Drive to maintain the Velocity of Air to
its Setpoint to deliver constant required CFM.
 4. Filter Status: - The Filter Clean/Dirty Status shall be
monitored by Differential Pressure Switch located across the
Pre & Fine Filter in the AHU.

5. AHU Mode Status: - The AHU Auto/Manual Status shall

be monitored by Free Potential contact from Auto/Manual
Switch of the AHU MCC panel.

6. AHU Run Status: - The status of the AHU Blower shall

be monitored by the Differential Pressure Switch installed
across AHU Blower fan.

7. VFD Trip Status: - The Trip Status of the VFD can be

monitored by the potential free contact from VFD.

8. Heater Status: - The status of the Heater shall be

monitored by the potential free contact From Potential Free
Contact of Heater Panel.

9. VFD On/Off Command: - The VFD On/Off command

shall be generated by the controller and feed to the VFD
Panel.

10. Heater On/Off Command: - The Heater On/Off

command shall be generated by the controller and feed to
the Heater panel.

ALARMS:

1. Temperature, Rh of Return Air for upper & lower threshold

limits.
 For temperature +/- 2 degree C of Set

Value (20 degree C)

 For RH of set value. (55% to 45%)


 2. DP switch across AHU Filter:
 If DP across filter exceeds set alarm
upper threshold value.
It will generate Alarm signal at BMS PC screens.

3. AHU VFD:
 If VFD trips
It will generate Alarm signal at BMS PC Screen.

SAFETY INTERLOCKS:

Following Safety/Interlock are provided for each AHU System

operation:

1. AHU Heater bank should not switch ON provided A/M

switch is in Auto mode.

2. The System shall switched off, if after issuing ON command DDC

controller does not received Run status sensed through Differential
Pressure Switch with in 30 Seconds.

CHILLER SYSTEM:

System Components:

1. Motorized Butterfly ON/OFF in return CHW line of every

chiller
2. Immersion type temperature Sensor in inlet & outlet of CHW
line of each chiller
3. Immersion type temperature Sensor in inlet & outlet of CHW
common header
4. Water Differential Pressure Switch across PCHW, SCHW,
CDW Pumps for ON/OFF status
5. Ambient T & Rh for ambient temperature & Rh monitoring
System Requirements:

1. Time scheduled Start /Stop of Chillers & its associated

equipments.
2. On demand ON/OFF of Chillers & its associated
equipments.
3. Sequencing of Chillers & its associated equipment (e.g.
PCHW pumps, CDW Pumps, CT Fans).
4. Monitoring of Actual Run status of CHW, CDW & SCHW
Pumps.
5. Each Chiller Butterfly Valve ON/OFF

Control Strategies:

Chiller Operational Sequence:

The Butterfly valve of respective Chiller will be open first, then

the primary CHW & CDW pumps & CT fan will be started, after
receiving CHW pumps, CDW pump & CT Fan run status; Chiller
Enable command to respective Chiller Panel will be issued.
For Secondary CHW VFD Pump system, Common Enable
command will be issued from DDC. Secondary CHW Pump
speed will be controlled by separate standalone system, to
maintain set differential pressure across common supply &
header CHW line. BMS will monitor Run status of Secondary
CHW Pumps through DP switch across Pumps.

Chiller Sequencing:
Depending upon the return header CHW temperature no. of
chillers will be issued Enable command one after the other.
There will be cut off threshold set in every chiller
microprocessor panel at a differential band of 0.25 to 0.5 deg
Celsius. Chiller will be switched ON with reference to return
header CHW temperature.

All Chiller Supply & return Water Temperatures shall be

monitored. CHW Supply & Return Header temperature shall be
monitored.
 Chiller: Primary CHW Pumps are runtime equalized.
Condenser: CDW Pumps are runtime equalized.

Outside Air temperature & relative humidity shall be monitored

& displayed on BMS PC.

BTU/Heat Meter:

There are 14 nos, BTU/Heat meter meant for mainly Anchor

shops supplied CHW energy calculation. The Unit used for
computation of energy consumed is MWh and not the BTU as it
is very small for measurement of energy consumed. The MWh
calculation in Heat Meter is from actual flow registered and
Delta T ruling over each hour. The methodology to calculate the
units consumed is explained below.

1. Respective reading of the BTU/Heat meter of tenant (i.e.

Anchor Shops) shall be noted.
2. BTU/Heat meter measure Delta T (i.e. Difference
between CHW Supply & Return header temperature) &
flow rate. By multiplying flow rate & Delta T instantaneous
tonnage can be determined. Totaling this tonnage over
defined period of time the BTU/Heat meter gives the
energy consumed in MWh.
3. To covert this into Ton X Hour multiply it with conversion
factor 284.34.

Ultrasonic Technology:

Ultrasonic measuring and microprocessor technology are the

foundation of the energy meter. All circuits for calculating,
measuring temperature and flow are combined in a single
board construction, which not only gives a compact and rational
design but also ensures an optimal measuring quantity and
high degree of reliability.
Bidirectional, ultrasonic technique is used to measure the
volume, based on the transit time method. A method which is
widely recognized as being the best measuring principle
currently available for this type of application owing to the long-
term stability. Two ultra-sonic transducers send sound signals
both against and with the flow direction.

The ultrasonic signal traveling with the flow reaches the

opposite transducer before the signal traveling against the flow.
The time difference between receiving the two signals is
converted into flow quantity.
