P Fan-Pressure Optimization staticpressuresensor supplyfan VAV boxes communicating BAS
Fan-Pressure Optimization Benefits • Reduce supply fan energy use • Reduced pressure…. Less noise • Pressure sensor factory installed.
ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004Dynamic Reset of OA • May reset OA intake flow (or zone OA flow) in response to: • Variations in zone population (DCV) • Variations in ventilation efficiency due to changes in airflow (ventilation reset)

Optimization: Chiller - Tower Control • Traditional Tower Control Methods • Minimum tower LWT • Fixed design tower temperature • OAT wet bulb plus tower approach • Satisfy chiller pressure differential Reduce Operating Costs
Tower Optimization - Considerations • Fan energy varies by the cube of speed changes • Example: energy change = 0.5*0.5*0.5 ~12.5% • Chiller efficiency is dependent on tower temp, chiller load and chiller type Reduce Operating Costs
Trane’s Tower/Chiller Optimization Solution • Models interaction of tower and chiller • Factors ambient condition and chiller load • Factors chiller and tower - type and efficiency • Algorithm calculates optimal tower LWT • Real time control
Chiller - Tower Control what is optimal? • 85 F setpoint minimizes tower energy use • 55 F setpoint minimizes chiller energy use • Wb + 6 F optimizes nothing • Recommend real time optimization Reduce Operating Costs
Benefits • Reduced energy consumption • Reduced water consumption • Reduced chemical consumption • Reduced maintenance/person-hours resulting from automated control • Chiller plant will operate in a steady-state condition • Extended life cycle of equipment components • Short-term return on investment • Reduced maintenance costs
