Question: For a VAV system, the supply air temperature is controlled at a setpoint of 7 oC using the proportional control with a Kp of 0

For a VAV system, the supply air temperature is controlled at a setpoint of 7 oC using
the proportional control with a Kp of 0.5 per K. The room air is controlled at 24 oC and 60%. The
outdoor air is at 35 oC and 70%. The mass flow rate ratio of fresh air to return air is a constant of
1:4(fresh air : return air). The mass flow rate of chilled water is linear to the water valve opening
with maximum capacity of 4 kg/s. The supply chilled water temperature is a constant of 5 oC, and
the return chilled water temperature is a constant of 12 oC. The specific heat of liquid water is
constant of 4.2 kJ/kgK.
(1) When the dry air mass flow rate is 1 kg/s, find the most suitable value of uo under this working
condition;
(2) Use the uo determined in question (1) in the proportional control, calculate the offset of the
supply air temperature when the dry air mass flow rate is 1.5 kg/s.
