Function

The VAV terminal unit is fitted with an effective pressure sensor for measuring the volume flow rate. The control components (attachments) include an effective pressure transducer that transforms the effective pressure into an electric signal, a controller, and an actuator; the control functions can be achieved with an Easy controller or with a Compact controller or with individual components (Universal or LABCONTROL). For most applications, the setpoint value comes from a room temperature controller. The controller compares the actual value with the setpoint value and alters the control signal of the actuator if there is a difference between the two values. An integral attenuator reduces the noise that is created by the restriction of the airflow. Due to the larger rectangular cross section at the room end, the airflow velocity is about half the velocity in the circular duct.
