OPERATION

VAV Systems

VAV systems control the temperature within a space by 

varying the volume of supply air temperature. The system 

delivers air to the space at a fixed temperature. The space 

thermostat controls the volume of supply air by modulating the 

supply air damper. When full heating and cooling flexibility is 

required in a zone, it is handled by the air temperature 

system, or with reheat capability in the air terminal units. As 

individual zones shut down, a central duct static pressure 

controller regulates the total air flow in the system. The fan 

system is sized to handle an average peak load, not the sum 

of the individual peaks. As each zone peaks at a different time 

of day, extra air is borrowed from the off-peak zones. This 

transfer of air from low-load to high-load zones occurs only in 

true VAV systems.

In pressure independent systems, individual zone airflow 

sensors maintain the zone air flow rate independent of 

fluctuation in the total system pressure. Pressure independent 

systems, when used with controllers such as the W7620, can 

react faster to changes in air flow demand; therefore, these 

systems can use the faster 90-second models.

Pressure dependent systems do not incorporate an individual 

zone air flow sensor and depend on a stable system pressure 

to maintain flow. These systems require slower actuators such 

as the seven-minute models that are typically controlled by 

spdt floating wall thermostats.

The T641 is a mercury bulb floating-control type thermostat 

designed for use with the seven-minute model on pressure-

dependent systems (see Fig. 16 and 17).

The T6984 is an electronic floating-control thermostat 

designed for use with the 90-second and seven-minute 

models (see Fig. 18).
