  8. Benefits of Energy Valve • Saves on Pump • and Chiller Energy Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

  9. Benefits of using Energy ValveSave Energy 1 335 330 2 Coil Power Curve 12°F Delta T Curve 10.5°F 55 GPM 65 GPM Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

  10. Low Delta TCost of Overflowing the Coil… Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

  11. Low Delta TCost of Chiller Staging Design Condition • Design delta T=12oF (54oF - 42oF) • 360 GPM • 1 Chiller, 90% Load (180 Ton) 360 GPM Loop flow Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut Chiller Plant Efficiency

  12. Low Delta TCost of Chiller Staging Low delta T • Delta T=10.4oF(52.4oF - 42oF) • 415 GPM • 2 Chillers, 45% Load (180 Ton) 415 GPM Loop flow No change to the load, but a 2nd Pump and 2nd Chiller are started. If cooling towers exist, additional cooling tower and pump may start. Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut Chiller Plant Efficiency A drop in delta T causes more GPM

  13. Features of Energy Valve • Power Control maintains coil power regardless of system variations • Built-in Energy Metering • Multiple Communication Options Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

  14. Power ControlDefinition What is Power Control ? • A control algorithm that creates a Linear relationship between control signal and kBTU/hr output • Power Control maintains a coil power set point regardless of pressure and temperature fluctuations Coil Power (kBTU/hr) 0 1000 0V 10V Control Signal Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

  15. Power ControlExample • Power Control allows the controller to deliver exact energy to the space • 0 to 10 VDC = 0 to 100% kBTU/hr Capacity • Example: 83 Ton AHU • 83 Tons ~ 1000 kBTU/hr coil • 3 VDC = 300 kBTU/hr • 7.5 VDC = 750 kBTU/hr 750 Coil Power (kBTU/hr) 0 1000 300 3V 7.5V 0V 10V Control Signal Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut

  16. Belimo Energy Valve™Energy Metering • Power: Q (BTU/hr) = 500 x • Flow (GPM) x • Temperature Change (°F) Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut • By measuring Flow (Electronic Flow Sensors) and • Delta Temperature (RTD sensors) • the Energy Valve can calculate Power/Energy

  17. Belimo Energy Valve™Energy Metering Usage Belimo Americas Danbury, Connecticut Energy Measurement Use as System Verification Tool during commissioning. Establishes a baseline performance for operation over time. Contributes to LEED.
