Supply Fan
The RTU Open supply fan may be configured for 1 of 3
Fan Control modes:
S Single -- The fan operates at one speed only and
provides on/off operation
S Two Speed -- The fan operates at 1 of 2 speeds depending
on the mode of operation and load conditions. During fan
only or single stage cooling, the fan operates at low speed.
During heating, dehumidification, second stage cooling, or
if maximum economizer operation is required, the fan
operates at high speed. This control mode is used when
the 2--Speed Indoor Fan option is provided.
S Variable Speed -- The fan operates at a variable speed to
meet the load conditions and SAT safety requirements to
provide maximum energy savings by minimizing fan
horsepower consumption. Fan speed is NOT controlled by
static pressure.
The RTU Open supply fan may be configured for 1 of 3
Fan Modes:
S Auto -- The fan cycles on/off in conjunction with
heating or cooling.
S Continuous -- The fan runs continuously during
occupancy and intermittently during unoccupied
periods with heating and cooling.
S Always On -- The fan runs continuously regardless of
occupancy or calls for heating and cooling.
Occupancy can be determined by BACnet schedules, BAS
schedules, or in response to a remote occupancy switch.
A Fan Off Delay allows the supply fan to continue
operating after heating or cooling stops.
If the following alarms are active, the fan turns off
immediately, regardless of the occupancy state or demand:
S Fire Shutdown
S Safety chain
S SAT sensor alarm
S SPT sensor alarms
The RTU Open does not include smoke--control functions
such as a smoke--purge, zone--pressurization, or smoke--vent-
ilation. Each of these modes require a field--designed circuit
to operate the following by local fine codes:
S RTU supply fan
S RTU economizer
S RTU power exhaust
The RTU Open many be configured to accept a Supply
Fan Status input to provide proof the supply fan is
operating. When enabled, a loss or lack of fan status will
stop heating and cooling operation.
A supply Fan Alarm Service Timer function is available
to track the number of supply fan run hours and generate
an alarm when the accumulated runtime exceeds the set
threshold.
Economizer
The Economizer dampers are used to provide free cooling
when the outside conditions are suitable and Indoor Air
Quality, if optional CO
2
sensor is installed.
The following conditions must be true for economizer
operation:
S Indoor Fan is on.
S Enthalpy is Low if the Enthalpy input is enabled.
S SAT reading is available.
S OAT reading is available.
S SPT reading is available.
S OAT <= High OAT economizer lockout configuration
(default = 75).
S OAT <= SPT
If any of the mentioned conditions are not true, the
economizer will be set to its configured minimum position.
If the RTU Open is configured for VFD or 2--speed fan,
and the fan is on or at the highest speed, or if the unit is
configured for single--speed fan, then the economizer will
use the Vent Dmpr Pos/DCV Min Pos setpoint as the
minimum economizer position when occupied. If the unit
is configured for VFD or 2--speed fan, and the fan is on or
at the lowest speed, the economizer will use the Low Fan
Econ Min Pos.
The minimum damper position can be overridden by the
IAQ routine described later in this section.
If the above conditions are true, the Economizer control
will calculate a damper position starting with a minimum
vent position and based on current space temperature and
a setpoint that is one degree less than the effective cool
setpoint. If the SAT drops below the cooling low supply
air setpoint (+ 5_F), the economizer will close as required
but not to less than the to minimum position. The
Calculated Min Econ Pos used for control is displayed in
the Maintenance section.
RTU Open provides Fault Diagnostic and Detection
(FDD) for economizer operation in compliance with
California Title 24. The FDD logic will detect an
economizer that fails to close, fails to open, stuck fully
open, and fails to fully open. Each condition will cause an
Economizer Operation alarm to occur and the specific
condition will be displayed.
Enthalpy Control
You may use an enthalpy switch to indicate the suitability of
outdoor air for economizer cooling. You can use either an
outdoor air or differential enthalpy switch. A differential
enthalpy switch has a sensing device in both the outdoor and
return air streams. A differential enthalpy switch indicates
when outside air is more suitable to be used than the return
air and is available for economizer cooling. If no enthalpy
switch is configured, a network point (Object Name: oae) is
available.
The sequence of operation for economizer cooling is the
same with or without an enthalpy switch, except that an
enthalpy switch imposes one more validation on the
suitability of outside air for economizer cooling. An
Enthalpy Status that is High disables the economizer and the
outside air damper goes to its minimum position. An
