This paper presents an advancement in HVAC system analysis, which is predicated on the electrical analogy to fluid systems. An integrated description of a building’s HVAC system and rooms is constructed and may be used to support system testing and balancing, system performance analysis, capacity verification testing, and room interactions. Additional system simulation is useful to assess plant modifications and their impact on HVAC performance.
This method is applicable to any facility with a large or complex HVAC system configuration. These improved techniques will produce a major economy in costs of system balancing and other testing activities while reducing the overall time required to balance the system.
