 Objectives
Learn about

1) Control for HVAC systems

- Economizers (Psychrometrics) and control
- Heat recovery systems (Psychrometrics)

2) Some advance HVAC systems

desiccant, enthalpy, sensible wheel

 Economizer – cooling regime
How to control the fresh air volume flow rate?
If TOA < Tset-point → Supply more fresh air than the minimum required

% fresh air
The question is how much?

100%

Open the damper for the fresh air

Minimum for
and compare the Troom with the Tset-point .
ventilation

Open till you get the Troom = Tset-point

If you have 100% fresh air and your

still need cooling use cooling coil.

Residential System
 Residential vs. Commercial systems
• Course focus was on HVAC equipment that is
used in both: residential and commercial
systems

• Emphasize on the application in commercial

systems
 Course objectives
• Apply fundamental physical principles to HVAC
design
• Describe and size each component in an HVAC
system
• Design HVAC systems based on manufacturer’s
datasheets
• Contrast residential systems with commercial
systems and use appropriate design techniques for
each type of system
• Solve HVAC design problems with high-quality
references
