modelSpeed_primary_localDp

Validate sequence of controlling chilled water pump speed for primary-only plants with local DP sensor hardwired to the plant controller

Information

This example validates Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Plants.Chillers.Pumps.ChilledWater.Subsequences.Speed_primary_localDp.

It shows the process of specifying the chilled water pump speed for a primary-only plant, with one local pressure sensor and two remote pressure sensors.

  • Both pumps become enabled at 1 second. Thus, the pump speed setpoint becomes non-zero.
  • From 1 second to 3 seconds, the measured pressure is greater than the setpoint. Thus, the pump speed is at the minimum (0.1).
  • From 3 seconds to 4.5 seconds, the measured pressure becomes lower than the setpoint. Thus, the pump speed increases.
  • From 4.5 seconds to 6.5 seconds, the measured pressure becomes greater than the setpoint. Thus, the pump speed becomes the minimum (0.1) again.
  • After 6.5 seconds, the measured pressure becomes lower than the set point. The pump speed increases up to the maximum speed (1.0).
