calibrated charts supplied with each valve.

- Once set, these valves will maintain the design flow to the terminals. Any pressure
/ flow fluctuations will be absorbed/released by the integral in-line differential
pressure control diaphragm.

- Once under automatic (modulating) control, and as the valve begins to close and
the differential pressure across the control valve seat rises, it is automatically
compensated for by the action of the spring loaded diaphragm. Thus, a constant
differential pressure is maintained across the control valve seat, giving valve
authority close to 1. This is especially important as the system goes to ‘light load’.

- The actuator has only to close against the selected spring pressure. usually 20Kpa,
and not the available pump head.

- Because these valves are sized based on flow rate, and not the available pump
head, they usually represent a significant reduction in pumping cost as the static
resistance of a properly sized 2 port modulating control valve, with a valve authority
of 0.5, would be around 10 times the resistance of a typical combination control
valve. This allows greater pump turn-down and greatly improved control as the
control valve environment is kept stable by the action of the differential pressure
control diaphragm.

2. Conduits within slab to connect field level devices etc.

4.0 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

4.1 Chillers with Primary & Secondary Variable Chilled Water System.

The chilled water system consists of air cooled chillers, primary chilled water pumps-
constant speed (5 Duty + 1 Standby) & (2 duty + 1 standby) Secondary Pumps VFD
Driven. These pumps shall receive the ‘start / stop’ command from the BMS only if the
‘hand – off – auto’ switch of all these pumps is in ‘auto’ position. The ‘run’ status and the
‘trip’ status of the pumps are monitored via volt-free contacts from the motor control
centers. The fault signal and the feedback signal from the VFDs of the Secondary Pumps
are monitored.

Butterfly valves are located on both condenser & evaporator side of the chiller. Upon call
for cooling as sensed by the immersion temperature sensor located in the common chilled
water supply line the DDC controller opens the butterfly valve first and then starts the
primary pump the limit switch located in the butterfly valve closes to prove the open status
of the butterfly valve. On receipt of this signal the DDC enables the chiller to start.

When the lead chiller is fully loaded and upon a call for further cooling (as again sensed by
the Common Return CHW Temperature sensor) the second chiller is signaled to run by the
BMS as per the sequence defined above.

The 'run' and the 'common fault' signal form the chiller shall be made available to the BMS
through the volt free contacts from the chiller control panel.

IAN BANHAM AND ASSOCIATES PART C - SECTION 1
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

With reducing load, the 2 port valves in the AHU and FCUs shall move towards the close
position thereby increasing the pressure in the supply header line as sensed by the
immersion pressure sensor. On Sensing this changes in pressure the DDC Controller shall
reduce the speed of the Secondary Pumps via the Variable Frequency Drives.

A by pass (De-coupler) line shall be provided as an interface between the Primary Chilled
Water System and the Secondary Chilled Water System. Since the primary pumps are
constant flow pumps, with a decreasing load the excessive water quantity passes through
the bypass line, increasing the pressure in the line as sensed by the differential pressure
sensor. The reduction in flow in the main supply header is sensed by the flow meter
provided.

Also once the reduction in flow (as measured by the flow meter) becomes equal to flow
across one chiller the BMS disable one chiller, the associated pump and closes the
butterfly valve.

The process repeats itself to meet the required conditions.

With increasing load the Chilled water shall move from the bypass line into the Secondary
circuit and increases the supply temp as measured by the temp sensor after the bypass on
the supply line. When this increase in load as measured by the flow in the Supply line
becomes equal to flow of water across one chiller the BMS opens the butterfly valve, and
once the valve is proven open the chilled water pump is started and chiller enabled so as
to maintain the desired temperature differential.

The process repeats itself to meet the required conditions.

The return chilled water temperature on both sides of the bypass & supply temperature
after bypass are monitored by the BMS. Individual chiller leaving temperatures are also
monitored.

4.2 Fresh Air Handling Unit

The AHU comprises of a single speed supply fan, CHW cooling coils fitted with three-way
modulating valve, Extract fan, Heat Recovery Wheel and a filter section.

The AHU will be provided with duct mounted temperature sensor installed in the supply air
duct.

The controller will compare the actual temperature value with the pre-programmed
setpoint, then accordingly the controller will modulate the 3-way control valve
connected to the cooling coil.

3-way valve position shall be monitored by BMS.

The FAHU fan, extract fan and heat recovery wheel motor start/stop shall be
interlocked.

The Motor Control Panel [MCP] will transmit heat recovery wheel motor run and fault alarm
signals in the form of Volt Free Contacts to the DDC controller. On receipt of the signal, the
DDC controller will generate the respective alarms at the BMS Workstation. As per the
BMS time schedule the motor will be started and will be operated. The efficiency of heat
recovery is monitored via the temperature sensor located after the wheel.

BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Airflow switch will be mounted across the AHU fan. The contact in the switch closes when
the pressure drop across the fan exceeds the (adjustable) setting on the switch. This
airflow switch will be connected to a digital input in the DDC controller. If after the DDC
controller switches on the AHU motor the signal from the airflow switch is not received
(within the adjustable stipulated time limit); the DDC controller will generate an Airflow Fail
alarm at the BMS Workstation.

As per the BMS time schedule the extract fan will be started and will be operated. The
airflow switch is mounted across the fan and functions similar to the supply fan airflow
switch.

A differential pressure switch will be mounted across the filter banks. When pressure drop
across the filter section exceeds the setting, the contact in the switch closes. This switch will
be connected to a digital input in the DDC controller. On receipt of signal from the switch, the
DDC controller will generate a Filter Dirty alarm at the BMS Workstation.

The fire alarm panel will relay a single fire/smoke alarm to Motor Control Panel [MCP] and
DDC. The DDC controller will shut down the AHU.

4.3 Fan Coil Units:

The Room Control Unit type will have a built-in temperature sensor, setpoint potentiometer
and fan 3-speed auto/manual selection with digital display. The room unit relays the actual
room temperature and setpoint to the Controller, which accordingly modulates the 2 way
chilled water valve to achieve the desired room temperature. In the meantime the
controller varies the speed with temperature (when selection is in auto mode).

4.3.1 Fan Coil Units in public areas

FCU controllers for public areas shall have remote temperature sensor and shall be
connected to the BMS workstation for monitoring and control of FCU’s.

The BMS shall monitor all pressure differential points as indicated on the drawings. The
BMS shall totalize and average all pressures and provide the appropriate output to the
VFDs. The speed output signal shall be sent to all three VFDs simultaneously.

Since the system will operate in duty/standby pump mode the following shall be
implemented:

The BMS shall monitor the flow rate of the secondary system and use this signal to
destage the pumps.

pumps when the system flow rate or pump speed falls below 40% of the total flowrate of
the combined pumps. The BMS shall then increase the speed of the lead pump to 100%.
The speed of the lead pump shall be increased or decreased to maintain system pressure.

The BMS shall continuously monitor the run time of each pump. The BMS shall rotate
each pump to be the lead pump after every 200 hours of run time. The BMS shall select
the next pump in the sequence as the lag pump.

If one of the pumps should fail then, the lag pump shall become the lead pump and the
