BAC_AC_ErcPl_02
Application
The template BAC_AC_ErcPl_02 is used for control and anti-icing of an energy recovery unit with plate heat exchanger.
Within the call template the following subtemplates are called and linked with each other:
- ErcSuA_PID: supply air temperature control
- ErcExhA_PID: minimum limitation of exhaust air temperature
- ErcIcPrt: anti-icing of the heat exchanger by means of a differential pressure switch
- ErcDmp: control of a damper
- ErcByDmp: control of a bypass damper system
The exhaust air minimum limiter ErcExhA_PID and the frost protection program ErcIcPrt limit the control value of the supply air temperature controller ErcSuA_PID of the energy recovery unit via the minimum value option, in order to prevent icing up of the heat exchanger.

The output of the control signal for controlling the performance of the energy recovery refers to the damper Dmp (see diagram). The control signal for the bypass damper ByDmp is inverted.
When commissioning the VAC system, care must be taken that both dampers are operated with a direct direction of action.

rSuAT : REAL;
rSpErc : REAL;
udiPltStp : UDINT;
udiOpMod : UDINT;
bDeHum : BOOL;
rExhAT : REAL;
rExtAT : REAL;
rSuAT: Measured value inlet air temperature
rSpErc: Set value inlet air temperature
udiPltStp: Plant start sequence steps. The plant steps are generated in the plant start program BAC_AC_StartT_01.
udiOpMod: Plant operation mode. The plant operation mode is determined in the mode selection program BAC_AC_OpMod_01.
bDeHum: Status message dehumidification mode. Disabling of energy recovery in heating mode (outside temperature > outlet air temperature) .
rExhAT: Measured value exhaust air temperature
rExtAT: Measured value outlet air temperature
VAR_OUTPUT
bActn : BOOL;
bActn: control direction of the supply air temperature control SuA_PID. The control direction of the energy recovery is required by various setpoint programs or cascade controllers for determining setpoint for the supply air temperature of the energy recovery unit, e.g. BAC_AC_SpSuAT_02, BAC_AC_CasCtrlT_02.
Program description
Instance | Type | Task |
---|---|---|
SuA_PID | Sub template inlet air temperature control. The temperature control is analog via PID sequence controller | |
ExhA_PID | Sub template exhaust air temperature control. The control is used for anti-icing and serves as prevention, before the ramp function IcPrt becomes active. | |
IcPrt | Sub template anti-icing via differential pressure switch | |
Dmp | Sub template for controlling an analog damper | |
Inv | Inversion of the control signal of the analog damper for controlling the bypass damper. | |
ByDmp | Sub template for controlling an analog bypass damper | |
| MIN, MIN | MIN selection of the control signals for inlet air temperature control SuA_PID,exhaust air temperature control ExhA_PID and the frost protection ramp function |
