blockResetMinBypass

Sequence for minimum chilled water flow setpoint reset

Information

Block that generates minimum bypass flow reset status when there is a stage-change command. This development is based on ASHRAE Guideline 36-2021, section 5.20.4.16, item b.

When there is a stage-change command (uStaPro = true) and the upstream device has finished its adjustment process (uUpsDevSta = true), like in the stage-up process the operating chillers have reduced the demand, check if the minimum chilled water flow rate VChiWat_flow has achieved its new setpoint VMinChiWat_setpoint. After new setpoint is achieved, wait for 1 minute (aftByPasSetTim) to allow loop to be stabilized. It will then set yMinBypRes to true.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
RealbyPasSetTimTime constant for resetting minimum bypass flow
RealaftByPasSetTim60Time after setpoint achieved
Advanced
RealrelFloThr0.95Relative flow rate to check if the flow has achieved setpoint
