HVAC CONTROLLING SYSTEM

HVAC control system, from the simplest room thermostat to the most complicated computerised control, has four basic elements:

  • Sensors: It measures actual value of controlled variable such as temperature, humidity or flow and provides information to the controller
  • Controllers: It receives input from sensor, processes the input and then produces intelligent output signal for controlled device
  • Controlled devices: It acts to modify controlled variable as directed by controller
  • Source of energy: It is needed to power the control system. Control systems use either a pneumatic or electric power supply.
