3. Theory of Operation
This application uses heating & cooling P + I control loops to stage the fan coil unit air cooled heat pump
compressor stages On and Off from a temperature sensor located in the area or zone served by the unit.
4. Sequence of Operation
Time Schedule Control
The unit is activated from a dedicated time schedule within the Honeywell DDC Controller, as detailed in the
following table.

Day Of Week Occupied Time Unoccupied Time
Monday 0800 1800
Tuesday 0800 1800
Wednesday 0800 1800
Thursday 0800 1800
Friday 0800 1800
Saturday - -
Sunday - -
Day Extension Control (After Hours)
A dedicated push button is provided to allow the plant to be activated outside of occupied times.
When pressed, the button will activate the unit for an operator adjustable period of 2 hours.
Once activated the day extension may be cancelled by the operator by pressing the button a second time.
The day extension function will not operate during normal occupied times.
An output is provided which will activate during day extension mode and drive an indicator to inform the operator
that the plant is running in day extension mode.

Fire Mode Override Control
The signals for the Fire Mode Control System are derived from the main fire indicator panel and are wired to the
DDC panel.
General Fire Alarm (Supply Air Fan Stop)
A general fire alarm typically represents a shutdown scenario!
When the fire indicator panel initiates a general fire alarm condition the following control action will occur:-

a) The supply air fan will be commanded Off.
b) The unit heat pump compressor outputs are de-energised.
Zone Fire Requiring Smoke Exhaust (Supply Air Fan Start)
The fire indicator panel will discriminate between fire conditions in each area served by individual AHUs, these
areas are referred to as Fire Zones.
The fire indicator panel may place the plant (Fire Zone) in to a smoke exhaust condition; a smoke exhaust
condition will take precedent over a general fire alarm condition.
When the fire indicator panel initiates a smoke exhaust condition the following control action will occur:

a) The supply air fan will be commanded On.
b) The unit heat pump compressor outputs are de-energised.

Low Ambient Lockout Control
If the temperature control mode is in Cooling Mode and the ambient temperature is less than the low ambient lock
out setpoint, the temperature control mode will be overridden and will be switched to Disabled. In this mode the
heat pump will not be available for cooling.
The low ambient lockout control will take priority over the zone temperature override for cooling mode.
The low ambient lockout mode change to Disabled operation is detailed in the following diagram:













The low ambient lockout control of the temperature control mode will initially be set up with the following default
values:-

Fan Fail Alarm
A fan failed alarm is generated whenever there is a mismatch between the fan start-stop signal and the fan status
input. An adjustable delay will prevent nuisance alarms from occurring.
Blocked Filter Alarm
A differential pressure switch is connected across the supply air filter assembly. The switch must be calibrated
(when air flow is present) to detect a pressure drop which corresponds to a blocked filter condition. The switch
provides a digital input to the DDC which will be used to generate the blocked filter alarm.
A blocked filter alarm will be raised at any time if the differential pressure switch has been activated continually
for a period of 300 seconds.
Once activated, the alarm will be latched until manually reset using the dedicated blocked filter alarm reset point.

FCU Start-up
Whenever the unit is called to run the supply air fan will start and the fan coil unit will operate under full
automatic control.
FCU Shutdown
Whenever the unit is turned off the following control action will occur:-
a) The unit heat pump compressor outputs are de-energised.
b) The air handling unit supply air fan will be commanded Off.
c) The unit heat pump reversing valve is switch to the Cooling position.

5. Zone Temperature Control
Whenever the supply air fan is commanded On, and the correct status input has been received, the unit thermal
control system is Enabled.
The air handling unit is provided with separate Cooling and Heating setpoints.
The unit heat pump compressors are controlled in sequence to maintain the required zone temperature set point
value.

When the zone temperature falls below the heating set point the heat pump reversing valve will be switched to
the heating position and the compressor stages will be sequentially enabled. When the zone temperature rises
above the heating set point the compressor stages will be commanded off.
When the zone temperature rises above the cooling set point the heat pump reversing valve will be switched to
the cooling position and the compressor stages will be sequentially enabled. When the zone temperature falls
below the cooling set point the compressor stages will be commanded off.

The operation of the heat pump compressors and the reversing valve is detailed in the following sequence
diagram, the PI function will be configured with default tuning parameters as detailed in the sequence diagram
which will require adjustment (tuning) for specific conditions at the time of commissioning.
The sequence diagram below shows only the proportional component of the PI control to detail the relative stage
positions.

Discharge Air Temperature Override Control
A discharge air temperature sensor is located in the fan coil unit supply air duct work downstream of the heat
pump evaporator coil. The sensor is located at a position within the duct work to ensure that the true mixed
discharge air temperature is measured at all times.
The discharge air temperature from the fan coil unit is monitored whenever the heat pump unit is enabled to
operate.
Should the heat pump unit be operating in reverse cycle heating mode and the discharge air temperature rises
above the high limit setpoint then the maximum stage output will be reduced from four to two. The override
condition will remain active until the discharge air temperature falls to below the setpoint minus the hysteresis
value. To prevent cycling, the lockout will remain active for at least the duration of the lockout delay time
If the heat pump unit is operating in cooling mode and the discharge air temperature falls to less than the low
limit setpoint then the maximum stage output will be reduced from four to two. The override condition will remain
active until the discharge air temperature rises above the setpoint plus the hysteresis value. To prevent cycling,
the lockout will remain active for at least the duration of the lockout delay time

6. Zone Temperature Alarm
The zone temperature sensor will have alarming capability to indicate high and or low temperature alarms.
An alarm inhibit feature is provided which will allow the alarm to be active during specific times which correspond
to the following plant mode values.

Nr Mode Comment
05 Occupied Time Scheduled Control Occupied Mode
06 Day Extension After Hours Mode
When the plant mode changes to a value which enables the alarm, a time delay will be invoked which must expire
before the alarm will become un-inhibited, this delay will give the plant the necessary running time to stabilise the
zone temperature and thus prevent nuisance alarming.
The air handling unit temperature alarm module will initially be set up with the following default values:-

a) High temperature alarm set point Zone cooling mode set point +2.0 Deg K
b) Low temperature alarm set point Zone heating mode set point -2.0 Deg K
c) Delay time to un-inhibit the alarm 1800 Seconds
