RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] availabilityManager:High temperaturTurnoff

The attached are two views of the building in the IDF as viewed on SketchUp.

Comparing this with your photo of the building showed a few differences, which can increase the heating or cooling demand.

Roof not modelled. Make sure you have good insulaton on the ceiling. It shades part of the windows in front.

The windows seem to be at an angle. These would catch more Winter sun and avoid Summer sun.. The Balcony shades the window and the door in Summer.

Because the Winter heating load is low, only one boiler (DHW) is needed for the building.

Dear Dr.Li ,

I m master of science mechanical engineering, and it is my project to simulate one building that my profesor show me , i do experimental on that building , and in my project i must simulate it and then i suggest some good saving energy method , in this building there is one boiler for hot water radiator and domostic hot water , one

way that i suggest that there is two boiler for this two aim one is for domostic hot water and another is for hot water that result to saving energy , by the way im female not male .

Dear Dr.Li as exactly you say

You do not see or use a thermostat in the room, it is because the user is the termostat.

There is manual valve on the radiator. Some of them are calibrated in temperature or just an marker. The occupant will adjust that to suit their comfort.

i dont use VAV HVAC System ,

In the real system, the pump by-pass has a non return valve. When the pump is working the pipe is closed. When the return water temperature falls to below the set point, the pump is stopped, and the water flows through the by-pass.
and exactly it is my system . in this building for example in summer because outside weather is hot for saving energy the don use pump , the get out pump amn use bypass.

i think in energyplus i cant use bypass with supply pump.

you mean when there is no thermostat how i must enter in thermostat heating setpoint in energyplus ?

in my building this radiator in room with out thermostat

very very vry special thanks

There are many components in an old system that is very efficient.

You do not see or use a thermostat in the room, it is because the user is the termostat.

There is manual valve on the radiator. Some of them are calibrated in temperature or just an marker. The occupant will adjust that to suit their comfort.

I do not know why we talk about energy saving and yet want to throw away all the cost saving system.

There is no need to have VAV VRV HVAC system. Most of them are not energy efficient.

I now understand why most new users are using the VAV tmplate and VAV zone equipment, because that was in the Gertting Started exercise.
===============================
For T.T's IDF, you can remove the first two objects on availabilityManager:.. . They will not work as you intended.

Have a closer look at your Iran system. You may be still missing some good features.

In the real system, the pump by-pass has a non return valve. When the pump is working the pipe is closed. When the return water temperature falls to below the set point, the pump is stopped, and the water flows through the by-pass.

In the London furnace, there is a safety valve with steam whistle. The water temperature is controlled by chimney damper setting and the fire air inlet size. Again, there was no thermostat. When the temperature is too high, all occupants would notice and would go to the furnace to shut it down, or call the attendant.

No thermostat, does not mean that there is no control.

yes exactly we use pump by bypass mode . what do you mean by different algorithm?

If you turn on and off the pump at 65°C, to implement the pump by pass mode. Again, it is a different algorithm.

i want to :

if inlet water pump > 65C then pump will be off

and if inlet water pump < 65 then pump will be on

for this type of controling can we use two availabilityManager:

one availabilityManager:High temperaturTurnoff :for inlet water pump > 65C then pump will be off .

and another availabilityManager: low temperaturTurnon : for inlet water pump < 65 then pump will be on.

is that right?

thanks

The availability manager actually turns off the pump (or fan for air systems). So any equipment on that loop will be off.

thanks Dr.Li ,

i m not good at english so mybye i dont undrestand your word exactly .you say : " If the avilability manager is associated with the heater, it turns off the heater." and
" The size and type of the heater is another matter" what you mean by heater ?is that baseboard heater or water heater?

thank you very much Dr.Li

!- =============
Sizing:Plant,
Boiler Loop, !- Plant or Condenser Loop Name
HEATING, !- Loop Type
80., !- Design Loop Exit Temperature {C}
15; !- Loop Design Temperature Difference {deltaC}
!- ======================

is all you need to enter in the IDF. The size and type of the heater is another matter.
=============================
In control engineering most controller has a built in hysteresis. However, you may not be able to specify it exactly, if it is not designed to be adjustable.

What you are trying to do is to design your own controller.

If the avilability manager is associated with the heater, it turns off the heater.

If the avilability manager is asspcoated with the tank used side, it turns off the loop supply (pump).

Sensor node need not be in the same loop, but must respond of the change when the control is activated. If the temperature falls below the limit, the control is removed. Back to your thermostat problem.   Set-back is not the same as limits.

Dear memebers ,
ref : Document :EngineeringRefrence.pdf -983
"High temperature turn off :
The input object availabilityManager:High temperaturTurnoff is used to turn off a central air system or a plant loop if a sensed node temperature exceeds a temperature limit."

i want to know availabilityManager:High temperaturTurnoff , turn off the plant loop or just the turn off the component ?
for example : i set field :Sensor Node name : at the outlet of boiler .. in this plant loop there is pump and boiler as a component.

then availabilityManager:High temperaturTurnoff turn off boiler or plant loop ?if it turn off the plant loop it means it turned off pump too?

thanks
