EQUIPMENT SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

1 - AIR HANDLING UNIT – (AHU) WITH VAV

General
Units are direct air type and consists with variable speed supply. They are controlled and
monitored by BMS, fan flow status is monitored by BMS through differential air pressure switch,
fan trip status and Auto (HOA) status through the starter panel/MCC. BMS can operate the unit if
MCC or starter is in Auto mode only hence “Not in Auto mode” alarm is generated in BMS
workstation.

• Chilled water-cooling coil with PICV modulating valve is controlled by BMS according to
the cooling demand.
• BMS regulates heating output of thyristor as per the heating demand, Temperature /
Humidity control
• Filter sections are monitored by BMS through air differential pressure switch across each
filter, i.e., Pre- filters & Bag in return air stream.
• Temperature and Humidity combine sensors are mounted in return air duct and
temperature sensor in supply air duct to monitor temperature and humidity
• Chilled water temperature entering the cooling coil is monitored.
• Fire alarm signal is connected to this AHU starter panel to switch off the fan in case of
fire. Main fire alarm panel is interfaced to BMS and status is update on the DDC though
network.
• Smoke Detector which is fixed in Return air duct (connected to Fire Alarm System), in
case monitors smoke then it will generate an Alarm and fire panel will “STOP” this AHU
immediately as per Fire Cause and Effect Matrix. It will Re-start only after Fire panel is
Resetted OR Alarm is cleared.
Start-up sequence:

The fan enable normally operates as determined by the time schedule or by the operator.
1. When the System Command is ON the following sequence starts:
2. The supply Air Fan is Commanded to start
3. The supply Air VFD is Commanded to start and ramp up gradually, and the fan speed
will be modulated to maintain the static pressure.

4. The two-way modulating valve controls the chilled water flow through the coil to
maintain the Return air temperature set point.

The supply fan will be ON if the following conditions are satisfied:

1. The System Command is ‘ON’.
2. HOA switch is in ‘AUTO’.
3. There is no Fire Alarm Signal.
4. Trip Status is ‘NORMAL’.

Shutdown sequence:

The AHU will shut down in case of the following:

1. When the System Command is ‘OFF’ based on the time schedule or by the operator.
2. If there is no flow detected by the Differential Pressure Switch across the Supply Fan.
3. If a Trip Alarm is generated for the Supply Fan.
4. The HOA switch is off.

The AHU will be shut down in the following sequence:

1. The supply fan will stop.
2. The supply air and return air dampers will close.
3. The cooling coil valve will be closed when the supply fan is OFF.

Temperature control:
The AHU return air is maintained at 220C DB (Set point has to be confirmed by Client).
When the supply fan status is “ON” and the Return air temperature is below the set point (i.e., 220C
DB), the cooling valve is modulated towards close position.
When the supply fan status is “ON” and the return air temperature is above the set point, the
cooling valve is modulated towards open position to maintain the return air temperature at the set
point. Cooling valve is controlled using proportional plus integral control loop.
The cooling valve command is interlocked with the supply fan status. When the supply fan status is
off, the cooling valve is driven to closed position (0%open).

Heater control:
Heaters have stages; each stage will be commanded to start depending on the heating
requirement and to regulate the sensed space humidity i.e., if the Return air temperature is below
the Set Point OR the Return air humidity is at or above 65% the heater will get activated.
The heater command will be interlocked with fan run status i.e., heater will be turned “ON” only if
the Fan run status is proven “ON”.

EQUIPMENT NAME
NOS. NOS.

SMOKE EXTRACT FANS 4 4

CAR PARK JET / INDUCTION FANS 8 8

FRESH AIR FANS 4 4

B- SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

SCHEDULED CONTROLLING

All the Fans will be interlocked with System Enable, HAND-OFF-AUTO and Trip Status. Whenever
all the Fans are in Auto mode, Trip Status is Normal, System enable point is enabled and as per
Scheduling the Fans will run after every 2 hours (adjustable) at low speed i.e., Jet Fans will run at
Low speed and Smoke Extract / Fresh air fans will run at minimum speed 30Hz (adjustable).

CONTROLLING BASED ON CO LEVEL

Since the controlling of complete system need to be done based on CO level in each parking floor,
hence average of all the CO sensors in each parking floor will be the reference for controlling the
fans operation.

Considering all the interlock (mentioned in the scheduled operation) are satisfied and based on
average reading of 4 nos. of CO sensors in one zone (tower) on one floor the system will operate
in following sequence:

1. When the average reading of 4 nos. of CO sensors in one zone (tower) on one floor is
above the setpoint i.e., 25ppm (adjustable) then the Smoke extract fans and Fresh Air fan
serving that particular floor will start to run on minimum speed i.e., 30Hz (adjustable) and
Jet fan will start running on Low speed.
2. The VFD’s on Smoke extract fans and Fresh air fans will be modulated through
proportional and integral (PI) control loop

11- SECONDARY CHILLED WATER PUMPS

A-GENERAL
Secondary Chilled water system will consist of 3nos. of Variable speed pumps (2 Duty + 1 Standby
/ Assist) serving the chilled water to two towers i.e., Tower-A & Tower-B. The chilled water riser of
both the towers will be equipped with Differential Pressure Transmitter which will be installed at the
2/3rd length of each riser i.e., in Tower-A DPT shall be installed at Level-10 and in Tower-B DPT
shall be installed at Level-6.

B- SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
All the Pumps will be interlocked with System Enable, HAND-OFF-AUTO and Trip Status. When all
the pumps are in Auto mode, Trip Status is Normal, System enable point is enabled, pumps are
ready to start.

Pumps will operate in 2 duty and 1 Standby / Assist combination. Also, whenever any of the duty
pump fails to operate or is tripped then the standby pump will take over and will continue the
operation and an alarm will be raised at the BMS workstation.

Since we have two differential pressure sensors on both the risers, amongst the two sensors,
whichever is reading the least value will be considered as reference for modulating the speed of
the pumps and will be operated in following sequence.

1. In addition to the above-mentioned interlock, whenever the reading on any of the two
differential pressure sensors installed is less than the desired setpoint (to be provided by
the TAB team) then the VFD will start to modulate, ramping up the speed of the Duty pump-
1 gradually towards 100%. The VFD will be modulated by Proportional and Integral (PI)
control loop module.

2. When the chilled water valve on each AHU/FCU start to open due to increasing load, the
differential pressure sensor shall send a signal to the BMS, which in turn shall control the
VFD on the CHW pumps to maintain the set differential pressure in the line, thus increasing
the CHW flow in the circuit.

3. When the differential pressure setpoint is not achieved by ramping up the VFD speed of
Duty Pump-1 to maximum allowed speed (to be received from the pump manufacturer),
then after a certain time delay its speed shall be ramped down gradually to the minimum
speed (to be received from the pump manufacturer) and then the Duty pump-2 will be
introduced and both the pumps will further be ramped up in synchronization in order to
achieve the desired differential pressure setpoint.

4. Once the desired setpoint is achieved then both the pump’s speed shall start reducing
gradually until it reaches to minimum speed (to be received from the pump manufacturer)
eventually stopping one pump after defined time delay and the differential pressure shall be
maintained by one pump.

5. In the event of minimum load in both the towers, only one pump will run at minimum speed
maintaining the chilled water circulation in the circuit and in the event of full load, the 2 duty
pumps shall operate and will be sequenced in such a way that each duty pump will be
rotated weekly and will be replaced by standby pumps.
