The Purpose of Temperature Controls
• Control systems are the “brains” of HVAC equipment to
i t i h f t Pi t d b l i AHU th t
maintain human comfort. Pictured below is an AHU that
serves only one zone. This type of AHU is called a single
zone AHU. In the example, a temperature sensor (stat) sends
i l t t l l hi h d i l t l
a signal to a control panel, which sends a signal to a valve.

HVAC variables are temperature, humidity, flow, and
pressure Different types of signals are produced by
pressure. Different types of signals are produced by
different types of sensors. They include:
–Electric sensors

• Resistance sensors are resistance temperature
devices (RTDs) and are used in measuring
devices (RTDs), and are used in measuring
temperature. Examples are Balco elements, copper
platinum, 10K thermistors, and 30K thermistors.
• Voltage sensors could be used for temperature,
humidity and pressure. Typical ranges are 0 to 5
Vd (V lt di t t) 1 t 11 Vd d 0 t 10
Vdc (Volts direct current), 1 to 11 Vdc, and 0 to 10
Vdc.
C t ld b d f t t
• Current sensors could be used for temperature,
humidity, and pressure. The typical current range is
4 to 20 mA (milliamps).

Electronic Temperature Sensors
Electronic Temperature Sensors
• The resistance outputs of a electronic Balco temperature
sensor follow the diagrams below:
• When 1000 ohms is measured across the Balco element, the
temperature is approximately 70°F (21°C) As the temperature
temperature is approximately 70°F (21°C). As the temperature
increases, the resistance changes 2.2 ohms per 1°F (3.96
ohms per 1°C). In a Balco temperature sensor, as the
t t i th i t i ti ll
temperature increases, the resistance increases proportionally
in a positive direction. This is known as a positive temperature
coefficient (PTC) sensor. However, many temperature sensors
id d th i t d f N ti

are considered thermistors, and perform as Negative
temperature coefficients (NTC).

Control Point and Offset
• The Control point is the actual temperature being sensed.
The control point (temperature) may not be on the setpoint,
but instead may be above or below it. Simply stated,
but instead may be above or below it. Simply stated,
setpoint is what you want, while control point is what you
get. Offset is the amount of difference between control
point and setpoint in a proportional control system In the
point and setpoint in a proportional control system. In the
example below, the offset is approximately 4°F.

Throttling Range
g g
• System throttling range (STR) is the change in the
measured variable (i e temperature) that causes
measured variable (i.e., temperature) that causes
the controlled device to travel from one end of its
stroke to the other.

    Electronic Sensors Include: •Resistance sensors are resistance temperature devices (RTDs) and are used in measuring devices (RTDs), and are used in measuring temperature. Examples are Balco elements, copper platinum, 10K thermistors, and 30K thermistors. • Voltage sensors could be used for temperature, humidity and pressure. Typical ranges are 0 to 5 Vd (V lt di t t) 1 t 11 Vd d 0 t 10 Vdc (Volts direct current), 1 to 11 Vdc, and 0 to 10 Vdc.

    1000Ω (Ohms) BalcoPTC Electronic Temperature Sensors Electronic Temperature Sensors • The resistance outputs of a electronic Balco temperature sensor follow the diagrams below: • When 1000 ohms is measured across the Balco element, the temperature is approximately 70°F (21°C) As the temperature temperature is approximately 70°F (21°C). As the temperature increases, the resistance changes 2.2 ohms per 1°F (3.96 ohms per 1°C). In a Balco temperature sensor, as the t t i th i t i ti ll temperature increases, the resistance increases proportionally in a positive direction. This is known as a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) sensor. However, many temperature sensors id d th i t d f N ti 1-13 PNWD-SA-8834 are considered thermistors, and perform as Negative temperature coefficients (NTC).
