  • Patent number: 4253153
    Abstract: A terminal reheat HVAC system which regulates the temperature in a plurality of temperature controlled spaces by modulating the temperature of cool discharge air presented to each of the spaces from an air handler source, each space receiving the cool discharge air through an associated space distribution unit which includes heating apparatus supplied from a common heat source for reheating the cool air to provide temperature regulation within the space in response to a space temperature error signal from an associated space temperature control, is controlled by electronic processing means in combination with dedicated sensing and control apparatus which provide actuation of the air handler and common heat source only in response to actual sensed space temperatures outside of a temperature band established by heat and cool temperature reference signals stored in the electronic processing means, the electronic processing means further providing modulation of the cool discharge air temperature from the air hand

  • Patent number: 4205381
    Abstract: Electronic processing means, in combination with dedicated sensing apparatus is used to control the operation of an HVAC system which regulates the temperature in one or more temperature controlled spaces. The electronic processing means and associated sensing apparatus being readily adapted to existing HVAC systems through interface apparatus installed in each of the existing HVAC control lines associated with the HVAC sources of mixed air, hot air, and cold air, to provide selective actuation and modulation of the discharge air temperature from each source, individually or in combination, in response to sensed HVAC parameters including source discharge temperatures, space temperatures, outside air temperature, and the relative humidity of the outside air and return air from the spaces.

  • Patent number: 4187543
    Abstract: Apparatus for controlling the discharge temperature of thermal fluid presented from a common thermal source to one or more HVAC systems in a network, each HVAC controlling the volume of thermal fluid circulating therethrough by regulating the valve position of HVAC valve apparatus over a valve position range from a full closed position to a full open position in dependence on the thermal energy level required by one or more temperature regulated living spaces associated with each HVAC, the apparatus including electronic processing means in combination with dedicated temperature and valve position sensing apparatus for providing actual position signals for each fluid valve apparatus and an actual source discharge temperature signal, the electronic processing means determining the magnitude of the greatest thermal energy demand within a short term interval in dependence on the most open of the actual valve position signals and providing modulation of the source discharge temperature over the short term interval
