ASHRAE March Meeting: Intelligent Control Valves

A pressure independent device supplies a specific flow for each value of the control signal regardless of pressure variations in the system. This session will look at the new pressure independent technology and its energy savings potential.

Topics include:

• A brief review of the differences between Pressure Dependent/Pressure Independent Technology
• Airside Pressure Independent Technology in use for many years, now water side PI technology is making huge advances due to technology. 
• Introduction to Intelligent Control Valves (a further advancement above PI technology alone). 
• Using Intelligent Control Valves to
  • View changes in water coil performance and degradation over time 
  • Analyze a water coil’s hydronic power curve o Introduction of the concepts of a water coil’s “flow/power saturation point” and “waste zone” 
  • Functionality of different Control Modes: Dynamic Balancing (PI), PI + T Manager, PI + Power (BTU) Control 
  • Using “constant commissioning” by providing the coil’s performance data over time 
  • Optimize water coil performance
