Relief damper control for AHUs using actuated dampers without fan

Information

Sequence for controlling actuated relief damper yRelDam for AHUs using actuated relief damper without a fan. It is implemented according to Section 5.16.8 of ASHRAE Guideline G36, May 2020.

  • Relief dampers shall be enabled when the associated supply fan is proven on (u1SupFan = true), and disabled otherwise.
  • When enabled, use a P-only control loop to modulate relief dampers to maintain building static pressure dpBui at its setpoint, which is by defaul 12 Pa (0.05 inchWC).
  • Close damper when disabled.
