      Precision AHU Control Panel: Optimize HVAC Performance & Energy Efficiency

      Overview

      Take command of your building's climate with our advanced AHU (Air Handling Unit) Control Panel. Engineered for superior performance, energy efficiency, and precise environmental management, this control panel is the central nervous system for your HVAC system. Designed to integrate seamlessly with modern building management systems (BMS) and equipped with intuitive controls, our panels ensure optimal indoor air quality (IAQ), comfort, and significant operational cost savings.

      Key Features

      1. Advanced Control Algorithms

      • PID Control: Highly accurate Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) loops for precise temperature, humidity, and pressure control, minimizing overshoot and undershoot.
      • Intelligent Scheduling: Occupancy-based and time-of-day scheduling to optimize AHU operation, reducing energy consumption during unoccupied periods.
      • Economizer/Free Cooling Logic: Automatically utilizes outside air for cooling when conditions are favorable, significantly reducing chiller load and energy use.
      • Static Pressure Control: Maintains optimal duct static pressure through variable fan speed control (VFD integration), ensuring consistent airflow and preventing over-pressurization.
      • Set Point Reset: Dynamic adjustment of supply air temperature and static pressure set points based on demand, enhancing efficiency.

      2. Intuitive User Interface & Monitoring

      • HMI Touchscreen Display: (Optional sizes: 7", 10", 12") User-friendly graphical interface for real-time status, set-point adjustment, alarm management, and historical data trending.
      • Remote Access & Control: Secure web-based access or mobile app integration for monitoring and control from anywhere, anytime.
      • Comprehensive Alarms & Diagnostics: Instant notifications for faults (e.g., filter clog, fan failure, high/low temperature), complete with troubleshooting guides.
      • Data Logging & Trending: Records operational data for performance analysis, predictive maintenance, and energy reporting.

      3. Robust Connectivity & Integration

      • BMS Integration: Native support for industry-standard communication protocols including BACnet IP/MSTP, Modbus RTU/TCP, LonWorks (optional), ensuring seamless integration with existing building management systems.
      • Network Port (Ethernet/RS-485): Dedicated ports for reliable data exchange.
      • Customizable I/O: Flexible configuration of Digital Inputs (DI), Digital Outputs (DO), Analog Inputs (AI), and Analog Outputs (AO) to accommodate diverse sensor and actuator requirements.

      4. Comprehensive Safety & Protection

      • Motor Protection: Integrated overload protection, phase loss detection, and short-circuit protection for supply and return fan motors.
      • Freeze Protection: Supply air temperature monitoring with automatic shutdown and alarm to prevent coil freezing.
      • High-Temperature Limit: Over-temperature shutdown to protect equipment and prevent overheating.
      • Emergency Stop: Clearly marked and easily accessible E-stop button for immediate system shutdown.
      • Filter Status Monitoring: Differential pressure switches to monitor filter loading and trigger alarms for timely replacement.

      5. Energy Efficiency Maximization

      • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Control: Seamless integration and control of VFDs for supply, return, and exhaust fans, enabling precise airflow modulation and significant energy savings.
      • Demand-Controlled Ventilation (DCV): Integration with CO2 sensors to modulate fresh air intake based on occupancy, reducing heating/cooling loads.
      • Humidification/Dehumidification Control: Precise control of humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain desired humidity levels efficiently.

      6. Durable & Compliant Construction

      • Robust Enclosure: NEMA 1, 12, 3R, or 4X (IP65) rated steel or stainless steel enclosures, ensuring durability and protection against dust, moisture, and corrosion for various environments.
      • Clear Labeling: Internally and externally labeled components for easy identification, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
      • Quality Components: Utilizes high-quality, industrial-grade PLCs/DDC controllers, relays, contactors, and terminal blocks from leading manufacturers.
      • Compliance: Designed and built to meet UL 508A, CE, CSA standards (region-dependent).

      Key Benefits

      • Significant Energy Savings: Up to 30% reduction in HVAC energy consumption through intelligent control, VFD integration, and economizer functions.
      • Enhanced Indoor Air Quality (IAQ): Precise temperature, humidity, and ventilation control create a healthier and more comfortable environment.
      • Extended Equipment Lifespan: Gentle starts, optimized operation, and comprehensive protective features reduce wear and tear on AHU components.
      • Reduced Operational & Maintenance Costs: Automated operation, predictive diagnostics, and remote management minimize manual intervention and unexpected downtime.
      • Simplified Management & Compliance: Centralized control and data logging streamline facility management and assist with regulatory compliance and reporting.
      • Unrivaled Reliability & Performance: Built with robust components and intelligent logic for consistent, dependable operation.
