DDC Outside Air Economizer System - Outside louvers allow the DDC control system to open dampers and introduce fresh air into the building. Building automation system, or the energy management system as it is sometimes called, monitors outside air temperature and humidity and based on a calculation and opens the outside air dampers when this calculation determines a precise set point.

Air Handler Return Dampers | HVAC Components - These return air dampers serve a large air handler on a rooftop. This return air damper ends up in a mixing box inside the air handler where the return air from the building mixes with the outside air from the economizer. (more…)
HVAC Damper Actuator for Economizer Free Cooling - This damper actuator controls a free cooling damper for an economizer. It is part of an economizer damper system which allows free outside air cooling when the outside air temperature and humidity are ideal. In the Fall and the Spring when the outside air temperatures are mild it is unnecessary to run the air conditioning system to cool the building if the system is set up for free cooling. (more…)
Outside Air Temperature-Humidity Sensor - The outside air temperature sensor uses a thermistor to read the outside temperature. This sensor also senses humidity using a humidity transducer. The temperature and humidity readings are collected by a direct digital control system and used in a program. Aside from using this information for user interfaces, the information is also used in a control program to open and close an outside air damper. (more…)
Air Handler Filter Pressure Sensor - This is a pressure sensor. It tells a maintenance technician if the air filters are dirty and clogged. The pressure control is a low static pressure switch to trip the unit if the mixing box drops below the setpoint pressure. The pressure the switch is calibrated to.
In addition, the low static pressure sensor protects the fan and the ductwork including dampers from damage. If the economizer damper and the return air damper would fail closed (or another possible scenario) that would cause the unit to pull negative pressure in the mixing box. (more…)
Free Cooling Air Conditioning - I’m looking for a residential high-performance system that uses an air intake damper or a multistage (multi-zone) heating and a cooling system similar to what I found at Economizer Systems and HVAC Control?
HVAC Tip - Some people refer to refrigerant as Freon. So when something is wrong with their HVAC system they say, “I have a Freon leak”. Freon is a name trademarked by Dupont for R-22. R-22 is being phased out because it contains chlorine. While Freon will soon be a thing of the past, the name Freon has found its way in our lexicon as a reference to refrigerant, any type of refrigerant.
