Enthalpy control |
Calculating the enthalpy means to calculate the energy content of the air, taking into consideration both the temperature and the air humidity. The value is given in energy per kilogram of air (kJ/kg). Enthalpy is calculated for both outdoor air and room air.
e.g.
Outdoor air (T=17oC / RH=70%) has an enthalpy of 38.63 kJ/kg
Room air (T=19oC / RH=40%) has an enthalpy of 33.70 kJ/kg
In case of cooling demand it is more energy efficient to recirculate the room air, as it requires less energy for cooling, even though dry bulb temperature of it is higher.
The function has to be activated for "Damper" type sequence if it is intended for control of the enthalpy.
The function is not active when using free cooling, in which case the outdoor air is used for cooling the room instead.
Enthalpy control requires four sensors:
- Outdoor temperature sensor / Intake temperature sensor
- Outdoor humidity sensor
- Room / Extract air temperature sensor
- Room humidity sensor
Cooling recovery mode must also be active.
