3 Overview TELLUS produces and distributes all necessary tempered air, cooling energy, heating energy and hot tap water. When all the modules are integrated, this ensures optimum control and interactive dynamic energy recovery. The unit produces demand-controlled tempered air, heating and cooling, simultaneously or independently of each other. TELLUS is adapted for regions with a warm climate up to +45 C and/or a cold climate down to 20 C ( 30 C)**. **) Accessories/adaptation is required for outside temperatures below -20 C. Air handling module Energy exchange module Hydronic module Chiller & heat pump module Energy efficiency above expectations Optimum performance is best achieved through an integrated system. TELLUS has achieved this with a really simple, compact and modular solution. The outdoor air is heated or cooled with a highly effective, rotating heat exchanger, and then further cooled or heated as required. This additional energy is supplied by the Chiller & heat pump module, via the demand-controlled Hydronic module. The additional energy for this is obtained from the Energy exchange module. The energy exchange module's fan energy can be reduced by 25 50% compared to a solution with separate components, thanks to the recovery of extract air. In the winter, the extract air is also used to raise the temperature in the Energy exchange module and to raise the temperature in the cooling water tank in order to improve the efficiency of the Chiller and heat pump module. The airflow, supplied heating and cooling energy, as well as hot tap water, can be fully demand-controlled. During periods when there is a need for simultaneous heating and cooling, the smaller amount (heating or cooling) is produced solely from surplus energy, as is the case with preheating of hot tap water when there is a simultaneous need for cooling.

7 Description of the unit General TELLUS is a complete, modular substation that can be installed both indoors and outdoors. TELLUS produces and distributes all necessary tempered air, cooling energy, heating energy and hot tap water. When all the modules are integrated, this ensures optimum control and interactive dynamic energy recovery. TELLUS is CE marked in accordance with the Machinery Directive MD 2006/42/EC. Application The various TELLUS sizes are based on the cooling capacity that is required for a project (40, 60, 80 kw) and are therefore suitable for commercial buildings/floors measuring approx ,000 m 2. TELLUS is adapted for regions with both a warm climate up to +45 C and/or a cold climate down to 20 C. Can be installed indoors and outdoors. Thanks to the integral optimisation functions, TELLUS is extremely suitable for systems with climate beams. Certification Swegon AB has a certified Quality Assurance System that conforms to ISO 9001 Standard and a certified Environmental Management System to ISO The GOLD air handling system is also certificated by Eurovent, No. AHU N Range: GOLD Built-in control equipment TELLUS' built-in control equipment is operated from the central control panel, which is located on the Energy exchange module and to some extent via module specific hand-held terminals. The entire system for heating, cooling and hot tap water is controlled and monitored via a touch-screen with an intuitive interface. Control and monitoring of air flows takes place via the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. TELLUS is supplied as standard with the potential for connection to a network.this function makes remote support possible. Simple Installation TELLUS is available in both left-hand and right-hand versions. All the pipes that are required to and from the building are connected on the Hydronic module's short side, i.e. heating water to climate beams or radiators, cold water to climate beams, as well as hot tap water. All necessary heating and cooling water tanks and the system s bypass valves, pumps, valves and dampers are included. External cooling water pump and radiator pump are not included. Power and control connections are located on the Energy exchange module, which is also where the safety isolating switch is located. The module for hot tap water, with one or more tanks is an option. Hot tap water tanks can be located anywhere within 10 m, and be fully controlled by TELLUS. An optional heat source (e.g. district heating) can simply be integrated with the air handling unit, provided that this option is made when ordering TELLUS. TELLUS is supplied as a unit, as three modules or in several parts, in order e.g. to facilitate passage through doors and other confined areas. See separate document, TELLUS installation, for more detailed information about installation.

8 Description of the unit Mechanical design Casing Made of cover panels and inspection doors. External galvanised steel plate, prepainted according to the table below. The inner skin is made of aluminium-zinc plated sheet steel. Environmental class C4. Intermediate insulation made of 50 mm mineral wool is present in the modules that handle air, i.e. the Energy exchange module and the Air handling module. Duct connection of supply air is possible on the Air handling module's end panel. Outdoor air duct connection is possible on the end-panel and top on the Energy exchange module. In the case of outdoor installation, a TELLUS unit must be selected with duct connections on the end panel (not on the top of the unit). The inspection doors are hung on hinges and are fitted with flush-mounted door handles. The door handles must be opened in two steps to equalise the pressure before the door can be opened completely. Leakage class L2 according to EN 1886:2007. CE marked. Conform to the provisions of EN and EN Standards. Air handling module Hydronic module Power and control connections Safety isolating switch Energy exchange module Chiller & heat pump module Modular concept In order to meet the needs specified as regards the amount of tempered air, cooling, heating and hot tap water, the TELLUS modular concept has been designed to provide significant flexibility during configuration. Module Colour tone * Air handling module beige (NCS S2005-Y30R) Chiller & heat pump module blue (NCS S 2030 B) Hydronic module Energy exchange module green (NCS S 3020-G50Y) grey (NCS S 1005-B) * TELLUS can also be supplied with all the modules in one colour tone (beige). Damper Two motorised dampers of the TCSA model are installed between the Air handling module and the Energy exchange module as standard. Wire the control and power supply cables to the appropriate wiring terminal on the Air handling unit. The dampers are normally used as shut-off dampers. The upper damper can be used as an outdoor damper for the RECO 2 control function. Dampers are supplied complete with damper actuator and spring return. Shut-off dampers are normally used if the air handling unit is idle during certain periods, for example at night. Damper actuators should then be on/off (230V). When the control function RECO 2 is used, outdoor air dampers must be modulating (24V) and the damper for exhaust air on/ off (230V). For further information, see RECO 2 in the section Description of the functions. To be installed for horizontal airflow. 8

9 Description of the unit Mechanical design Air handling module The air handling module is based on Swegon's tried and tested GOLD concept. The module is available in several different sizes for airflows of between m 3 /s (720-16,920 m 3 /h). The outdoor air is heated or cooled by the highly efficient, rotating heat exchanger, and is subsequently further heated or cooled as required via the built-in, liquid-borne dual-purpose coil. Full output and service life at long-term high outdoor temperatures are guaranteed up to +40 C. Direct-driven fans supply good electrical efficiency, a uniform airflow and low noise levels. Class F7 bag filters for both the supply air and the extract air. Air handling module Fans The direct-driven fans are of GOLD Wing+ type, unique axicentrifugal fans with the focus on excellent power efficiency, uniform airflow and low noise level. The GOLD Wing+ is patented. Functional sections such as air coolers and bends can be connected directly to TELLUS without appreciable pressure losses. This saves space in the fan room. The fans are driven by high-efficiency EC motors, which together with a motor control system especially developed for the GOLD, perform with extremely high efficiency. The fan motors have a motor control system for variable speed regulation and the fans have measurement tappings for continuous measurement and regulation of the airflow. The fans are effectively vibration-isolated from the casing by means of rubber bushings/flexible connections or steel-spring anti-vibration mountings/flexible connections, depending on size. The fans are fixed in their positions by means of locking knobs/ screws and clamping bands. These fasteners can easily be loosened, after which the entire fan assembly can be withdrawn for inspection and maintenance. Filters The filter material is glass fibre. The filter holder has a filter locking system designed for effective sealing. The air handling module has Class F7 bag filters for both the supply air and the extract air. The energy exchange module s bypass filter is a class G4 panel filter. Pressure sensors for measuring the pressure drop across the filters are incorporated into the control system. Heat exchanger RECOnomic rotary heat exchanger with a temperature efficiency of up to 85%. The heating load is regulated by automatically and variably regulating the speed of the heat exchanger. The rotary heat exchanger effectively recovers cooling energy as well. It is available in a hygroscopically treated version for moisture recovery (which also reduces costs for cooling), and an epoxy treated version. Purging sector, commissioning plates and pressure measuring tappings as standard, ensuring that extract air is not transferred to the supply air. The RECOnomic heat exchanger is patented. Purging sector 9

10 Description of the unit Mechanical design Energy exchange module The additional energy for the system's energy exchange is obtained from the Energy exchange module. The module's fan energy consumption can be reduced by 25-50% as the Air handling module's exhaust air can also be utilised. The Energy exchange module's heat exchanger coil recovers residual heating or cooling energy in the exhaust air. The Hydronic module regulates how this energy is best used. When the exhaust air is not sufficient, a damper is opened between the exhaust air and the outdoor air. The Energy exchange module's fan is controlled variably in order to extract additional heating energy from the outdoor air in the winter by allowing it to pass the heat exchanger coil, in order to heat the cold water that is circulated there. In the summer, the same function can be used to extract cooling energy and cool the water in the heat exchanger coil. Full output and service life at long-term high outdoor temperatures are guaranteed up to +40 C. Energy exchange module Chiller & heat pump module Supplies the system with the extra heating and cooling energy that is required, via the demand-controlled Hydronic module. The module works as a water-water unit or as an air-water unit together with the Energy exchange module. Energy-efficient and reliable tandem compressors supply heating and cooling energy on to the Hydronic module, via two heat exchangers. The compressors can be controlled independently of each other according to needs. The compressor circuit uses the wet vapour injection technique, which provides better energy efficiency and a broader operating range/temperature span. This is achieved as the technique reduces the temperature of the hot gas in order to ensure that the oil temperature is kept sufficiently low. Type R410A internal refrigerant is used. Chiller & heat pump module Compressor circuit 10

11 Description of the unit Mechanical design Hydronic module Satisfies the need for heating and cooling energy that exists in the system by regulating the flows.the majority of the pipework, pumps, valves and expansion tanks that govern the system's water flow are located in this module. Hydronic module All pipes that are required to and from the building are connected to the module's short side. If you want to use an external heat source as backup or in addition, you can connect this via the existing extra pipes on the short side of the Hydronic module (e.g. district heating or a central heating boiler). This should be viewed as a backup, as TELLUS is usually fully self-sufficient Designation A 1 A 2 B 1 B 2 C 1 C 2 D 1 D 2 Explanation Waterborne cooling Supply line Waterborne cooling Return line Waterborne heating Return line Waterborne heating Supply line Charging tap water Return line (option) Charging tap water Supply line (option) External heat source Supply line (option) External heat source Return line (option) A D C 2 B Pipe connections on the Hydronic module s short side (Ø35 mm) Cooling water and heating water tanks At the rear of TELLUS there is a cooling water tank and a heating water tank, each with a capacity of 500 litres. Cooling water and heating water tanks act as a buffer system. When TELLUS produces more heating or cooling energy than the current requirement, surplus energy is stored in the relevant tank. The stored energy can be circulated in the system to maintain a more even temperature and thereby provide an increased level of comfort. Cooling water and heating water tanks at the rear of TELLUS 11

12 Description of the unit Mechanical design Hot tap water module The hot tap water module which controls temperatures, functions for safeguarding against legionella and tank(s) are available accessories. The water connections and controls for charging an external hot tap water tank are included. Connections for HWC (hot water circulation) pump available. A tank of at least 500 litres is always supplied when the hot tap water module is selected. Additional tanks are available to order and then in sizes of 500 and 1000 litres. Existing tanks can also be used. The hot tap water module is connected to a heat exchanger in the Hydronic module. The relevant heat exchanger is optional. The available amount of hot tap water is dependent on the simultaneous heating requirement in the property, the size of the hot tap water tank and the potential charging time. When there is a sufficient cooling load, hot tap water is obtained at a reduced cost. The amount of available hot tap water decreases the lower the design outdoor temperature, and an extra heat source in the form of e.g. an electric heater may be necessary. Winter conditions In order to achieve the best energy efficiency, the hot tap water is preheated. Preheating takes place by means of produced heating water, which is used to heat the property, passing through the heat exchanger for the hot tap water. In this way, the hot tap water is heated to the same temperature as the building's heating system. Summer conditions Preheating takes place in the same way as for winter conditions, although in this case the heating energy that is the surplus from the production of cooling is used to preheat the hot tap water. Preheating takes place in a separate preheating tank(s). To achieve the desired temperature at the tap outlet, the hot water is top-heated. With top-heating, the temperature increases on the heat pump's hot side and the entire flow passes the hot tap water exchanger until the required amount of water has been heated. In order to prevent the occurrence of legionella bacteria, an electric heater is used in the hot tap water system. The hot tap water is then heated above a certain level at given intervals in order to kill any bacteria. Hot tap water requirement As an indication, the needs for hot tap water are covered according to the table below: Office School (with sports hall) Hotel Stockholm Malmö Stuttgart Lisbon Stockholm Malmö Stuttgart Lisbon Stockholm Malmö Stuttgart Lisbon always always always always usually* always always always partially* sometimes* always always For more information for calculations, see examples in the section "Overview / Formulae and aids" on page 5. (* extra heat source required) 12

13 Description of the unit Mechanical design Duct connections The Air handling module has circular duct connections for the size (on the Air handling module) that handle max. airflow 1.4 m 3 /s (5,040 m 3 /h). Circular duct connections are intended to be connected to ducts with insertion joints fitted with rubber seals. Other sizes have rectangular duct connections with a fixed connection frame for guide connection. Type METU connection frames are available as an accessories. TELLUS fans produce an even airflow immediately after the outlet, making it possible to connect duct bends and functional sections immediately with no appreciable pressure losses. When insulated duct accessories are selected, these are docked directly to TELLUS, which is then supplied with no end connection adapter for the relevant inlet/outlet, known as "full face". Pipe connections All pipes that are required to and from the building are connected to the Hydronic module's short side. Pipes should not be routed directly in front of heating water tanks, as this can make access more difficult for any service work. Dimensions for pipe connections are Ø35 mm. Drainage Drainage must be present to handle run-off from batteries and any discharges from the TELLUS internal brine circuit. Normal run-off, such as condensation from batteries, can be led out via the building's drainage system. Any leakage, as well as discharges from safety valves, must be routed to a separate collection vessel or another closed system, as the internal brine circuit contains glycol which must not be released into the drainage system. Commissioning plates To ensure that purging through the heat exchanger works as intended, TELLUS is supplied with commissioning plates. Using these, the correct pressure balance can be set so that the purging airflow passes in the right direction. The commissioning plates are supplied uninstalled, and must be positioned by the extract air inlet if the need arises. 13

14 Description of the unit Electrical and control equipment General TELLUS' built-in control equipment is operated from the central control panel, which is located on the Energy exchange module. The entire system is controlled via an intuitively designed interface. All values for heating, cooling, hot tap water and operating conditions are set here. Control and monitoring of air flows takes place via the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. Control panel TELLUS' control panel comprises a 6.5 pressure-sensitive touchscreen with leakage class IP66. Resistive touch technology guarantees high functionality for an extended period. The control panel's main menu provides clear navigation assistance and makes it possible to monitor the system and its various modules. The SERVICE and INSTALLATION menus require extended authorisation, as extensive knowledge is required of the system and its functions for the settings that can be adjusted. For more information about submenus, see the section Description of functions / Controls as well as separate documentation. Integrated web server/hand-held terminal/bms A large number of functions and settings can be adjusted, either via TELLUS' integrated web server, the Air handling module shand-held terminal or existing BMS. Control inaccuracy: Temperature ± 1K. Airflow ± 5%. Electrical efficiency The design and performance of TELLUS are optimised for achieving excellent power efficiency. There are two electric gauges installed in TELLUS as standard, where one monitors the entire system and the other all electrical energy used for air treatment. Electric energy consumption for cooling and heating production can be calculated based on these measured values. Connecting electrical and control equipment Power and control connections are located on the Energy exchange module. The safety switch is located on the outside of the same module, close to these connections. The earth fault circuit breaker, if required, should only serve TELLUS and must be of a type designed for use with the control system of the EC motor. Standards TELLUS satisfies the standards in ELSÄK-FS 1999:5 and SS-EN Enclosure class IP 54. TELLUS satisfies the requirements according to the EMC Directive. The controls are designed to conform to the requirements in the EN and EN Standards (radiation in homes, offices, shops and similar environments as well as for immunity in industrial environments). 14

15 Sizing, dimensions and weights Delivery and transport within the site TELLUS comprises four modules which, in their standard version, are installed as a unit from the factory. The parts are joined together with bolts and have quick-release couplings for water, electrical connections and control cables between the parts. TELLUS can also be supplied as three or more parts, in order e.g. to facilitate passing through doors and other confined passages. The delivery method as a unit or in several parts must be specified when ordering. Delivery takes place on wooden pallets. Alternative for pipe and duct connection Specify right-hand or left-hand version when ordering. Duct connections are always as follows: Airflow Module Location Outdoor air Energy exchange module Upper level Supply air Air handling module Upper level Extract air Air handling module Lower Exhaust air Energy exchange module Lower Clear space for inspection A clear space of 1100 mm should be provided in front of TELLUS and at least 100 mm should be provided above. In addition, at least 300 mm clear space should be left between the rear of TELLUS and an adjacent wall or other equipment.

21 Description of the functions Control TELLUS' control equipment is operated via a central control panel located on the Energy exchange module. The entire system is controlled via an intuitively designed interface (HMI). All values for heating, cooling, hot tap water and operating conditions are set here. A large number of functions and settings can be adjusted, either via TELLUS' integrated web server, the Air handling module shandheld terminal or existing BMS. Control panel - MAIN The Main menu provides clear navigation assistance. Some of the choices that are possible here require extended authorisation, as the adjustments that can be made require extensive knowledge of the system and its functions. Control panel - USER The User menu makes it possible to monitor the system and its various modules. No settings or adaptations can be implemented without extended authorisation. Control panel - INSTALLATION The Installation menu requires extended authorisation, as it is possible to adjust settings that have a considerable impact on the system and its functions. This menu is largely used during installation and commissioning. Control panel - SERVICE The Service menu, just like the installation menu, requires extended authorisation.

22 Description of the functions Temperature regulation, air handling ERS Regulation (control) ERS regulation means Extract air temperature-related Supply air temperature regulation. This means that the temperature of the supply air is regulated in relation to the temperature of the extract air. Under normal circumstances, the supply air temperature is regulated to be a few degrees lower than the extract air temperature. In this way, the heat exchanger will provide optimal performance, resulting in excellent operating economy. ERS control is suitable for use when there is surplus heat in the premises generated e.g. by machinery, lighting or people, and the premises have supply air diffusers suitable for discharging air below room temperature. Control sequence The temperature efficiency of the TELLUS heat exchanger is modulated to provide maximum heat recovery. After this, air heaters for reheating begin to generate heat. When the output of the air heater for reheating is not sufficient, the supply airflow or both the supply airflow and the extract airflow will automatically and steplessly be decelerated. A neutral zone can be preset, which allows a lower supply air temperature setpoint before starting deceleration. When the supply airflow is regulated to a lower rate, the heat exchanger will have a "surplus" of warm extract air, giving it capacity to maintain the required supply air temperature. ERS Regulation 1 The control unit regulates the ratio between the supply air and extract air temperature according to a factory-preset curve. 1) Breakpoint in C (based on the extract air temperature). 2) Temperature differential above the breakpoint is selected in four steps. 3) Temperature differential below the breakpoint is selected in K (Kelvin). See the diagram to the right. ERS Regulation 2 Used if the factory preset performance curve in the ERS Control 1 function does not provide the results desired to meet special needs and conditions. An individually adjusted curve regulates the supply air/extract air temperature ratio. See the diagram to the right. ERS Regulation 1 Supply air temperature setpoint C SA/EA differential Breakpoint Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step Extract air temperature C Factory setting: Step 3. Breakpoint 22 C. SA/EA differential 2K. Entails the following: If the extract air temperature is below 22 C (breakpoint), the supply air temperature setpoint will be automatically regulated to be 2K (EA/SA differential) lower. If the extract air temperature is above 22 C, the supply air temperature setpoint will be constantly 16 C (step 3). ERS Regulation 2 Y = Supply air temperature setpoint C X = Extract air temperature C Factory settings breakpoints: X1 = 15 C. X2 = 20 C. X3 = 22 C. Y1 = 20 C. Y2 = 18 C. Y3 = 14 C. Entails the following: If the extract air temperature is below 15 C (X1), the supply air temperature setpoint will constantly be 20 C (Y1). If the extract air temperature is 20 C (X2), the supply air temperature setpoint will be 18 C (Y2). If the extract air temperature is above 22 C (X3), the supply air temperature setpoint will constantly be 14 C (Y3)

23 Description of the functions Temperature regulation, air handling Supply air regulation (control) Supply air regulation involves maintaining a constant supply air temperature without consideration to the load in the premises. Supply air regulation can be used when the load and temperatures of the premises are predictable. In most cases this requires the installation of an air heater for reheating, possibly an air cooler as well. Control sequence The temperature efficiency of the TELLUS heat exchanger is modulated to provide maximum heat recovery. After this, air heaters for reheating begin to generate heat. When the output of the air heater for reheating is not sufficient, the supply airflow or both the supply airflow and the extract airflow will automatically and steplessly be decelerated. A neutral zone can be preset, which allows a lower supply air temperature setpoint before starting deceleration. When the supply airflow is regulated to a lower rate, the heat exchanger will have a "surplus" of warm extract air, giving it capacity to maintain the required supply air temperature. Outdoor compensation Temperature Outdoor compensation can be activated if the premises are affected to an unusually high degree by cold and heat, for example via large windows. If the function is selected, the temperature setpoint is displaced relative to the outdoor temperature according to a summer curve or a winter curve. It is possible to set the incline of the curves and their starting and end points. In conjunction with supply air or extract air control only. See diagram below. Negative summer compensation can also be preset. Outdoor compensation Extract air regulation Extract air control involves maintaining a constant temperature in the extract air duct (the premises), by regulating the supply air temperature. The lowest and the highest permitted supply air temperatures are specified, while the Air handling module keeps the extract air temperature constant. The result will be a uniform temperature in the premises regardless of the load. The extract air temperature is measured by the Air handling module's internal temperature sensor. If this internal temperature sensor does not give sufficiently representative extract air temperature readings, an external room temperature sensor can be installed and connected to the control unit. Y = Temperature displacement K Y1 X1 X2 X3 X4 Y2 Control sequence The temperature efficiency of the TELLUS heat exchanger is modulated to provide maximum heat recovery. After that, the air heater for reheating, if installed, begins to generate heat. X = Outdoor air temperature C Winter compensation in accordance with factory setting involves: Outdoor temperature of +10 C (Breakpoint X2): Compensation starts and gradually proceeds between 0 3K down to an outdoor air temperature of -20 C. Outdoor air temperature of -20 C (Breakpoint X1): Constant compensation takes place by 3K (temperature displacement Y1). Summer compensation in accordance with factory settings involves the following: Outdoor temperature of +25 C (Breakpoint X3): Compensation starts and gradually proceeds between 0 2K up to an outdoor temperature of +40 C. Outdoor temperature of +40 C (Breakpoint X4): Constant compensation takes place by 2K (temperature displacement Y2). 23

24 Description of the functions Temperature regulation, air handling Summer night cooling The lower temperature at night is utilised to cool down the building structure. This reduces the cooling requirement during the first hours of the day, which saves the energy and capacity of the Chiller & heat pump module. Setpoint displacement Setpoint displacement is used to change the setpoint for supply and extract air temperature. For example, the temperature can be increased or decreased at certain times of the day by means of an external timer or potentiometer. The setpoint can be influenced ±5K using external control 0-10V. External temperature sensors One external outdoor sensor or room sensor There is provision for connecting external sensors for Extract air/room, which can be used when the Air handling module s internal sensor does not provide representative values. External outdoor sensors must always be connected. Values are shown on the Air handling module s hand-held terminal. The External Extract air/room function measures the extract air temperature in a larger room or in the duct system, instead of the temperature inside the Air handling module. External Outdoor measures the outdoor temperature outside instead of inside the Air handling module. The Air handling module also has provision for connecting an external temperature sensor for alarms. The alarm limit in C and alarm delay are adjustable. Preheating the air Preheating the air if the outdoor temperature is cold and the humidity is high can prevent condensation from forming in the Air handling module s filters. Preheating may also be necessary to heat the air during extremely cold weather, where the design outdoor temperature is less than 20 C. The air preheating function requires the accessories: TBLE air heater pre-heating (including TBLZ for controlling the air heater) or, if an air heater other than the TBLE is used, controlling air heater preheating with TBLZ-1-53-a. Electric air heater, 0-10 V. Control function Temperature sensors in the ducts keep the preset temperature constant. The required setpoint is set on TELLUS' control panel. Electric air heater If the air heater has been in operation, the required post-cooling takes place. When TELLUS is stopped, the post-cooling time is three minutes. Two to four external room temperature sensors (multisensor) Up to four external room temperature sensors can be connected to TELLUS' control circuit card. The function requires TBLZ room temperature sensor accessories. Locate the room temperature sensors in suitable positions to obtain representative measured values. TELLUS is controlled in response to a calculated mean value of the temperature sensors measured values, or alternatively in response to signals from the temperature sensor that measures the lowest or highest value. 24

25 Description of the functions Temperature regulation of cooling and heating water SUPPLY AIR EXTRACT AIR Perimeter climate systems C Climate beams C All Year Comfort The All Year Comfort is used to control TELLUS' water circuits for cooling and heating to the climate beams, perimeter climate systems, radiators, etc. The function keeps the cooling water and heating water temperature constant at the required setting in the cooling and heating systems respectively. The water temperature is measured with two strap-on temperature sensors which govern the control valve according to the preset performance curve. See also Dehumidification control under Humidity. Outdoor compensation To make it possible to adapt the primary water circuit temperature to the design of the building and the outdoor temperature, the supply flow temperature's setpoint must be adjusted in line with the outdoor temperature according to an adjustable performance curve. The curve can be adapted to various conditions by means of three adjustable points. Room compensation In the event of an extra cooling or heating load, the supply flow temperature for the cooling or heating water respectively can be adjusted. Setpoint for the supply flow temperature is influenced by the room temperature. The setpoint for regulating the heating water is reduced when the room temperature exceeds the preset limit value. The setpoint for regulating the cold water is increased when the room temperature drops below the preset limit value. Night blocking makes it possible to block the function at night.

26 Description of the functions Temperature regulation of cooling and heating water All Year Comfort, contd Night compensation If the premises are not utilised at night and on weekends, the water temperature can be adjusted in order to save energy. The supply flow temperature setpoint is decreased (heating circuit) or increased (cooling circuit) during the preset period. It is possible to set two periods for night and weekends respectively via two time channels. Dew point compensation (cooling water only) This function requires the TBLZ humidity sensor (accessory). The moisture content and temperature of the extract air (see C in the figure on the previous page) are measured in order to ensure that no condensation forms on cold metallic surfaces. On the basis of the measured values for relative humidity and temperature, the current dew point (the temperature at which the moisture in the air condenses) is calculated. When the dew point exceeds the cooling water temperature, the cooling water setpoint is raised to counteract condensation precipitation. To compensate for any losses in cooling capacity in the event of an increasing cooling water temperature, the airflow can be increased to extract more surplus heat. Pump/valve The pump for the heating circuit is started and stopped according to preset outdoor limit temperatures. The pump for the cooling circuit is operated together with the Air handling module and is stopped when TELLUS is shut down. It is also possible to stop the pump for the cooling circuit if the outdoor temperature is below the preset setpoint. It is possible to monitor the pumps and initiate alarms in the event of a malfunction. In order to prevent the pumps and valves from becoming clogged, in the event of a prolonged period of downtime, they can be exercised at preset time intervals. 26

27 Description of the functions Temperature regulation, hot tap water The external tap-hot-water module is charged through connection to the Hydronic module's pipe connections for tap water charging. Temperatures are measured at several points in the water heater to ensure that the need for hot tap water can be satisfied. If the temperature at the top of the heater is below its starting temperature, the Hydronic module begins to charge the heater until it is deemed to be fully charged. In addition to measuring the temperature in the upper part of the heater, the heater's charging level is also evaluated using additional temperature sensors. If this level is low, charging is initiated even if the temperature in the heater's upper section is satisfactory. This ensures hot tap water performance in the event of large, temporary requirements. When the hot tap water module is being charged, it is possible to continue heating the building by means of the stored heat that is present in the built-in accumulator tank. The water heater is equipped with an electric heat source that regularly raises the temperature in the heater and thereby eliminates legionella bacteria.

28 Description of the functions Flow/pressure, air handling Fan regulation (control) The type of control can be selected individually for the supply air fan or the extract air fan. Flow regulation Flow control involves the TELLUS unit keeping the preset airflow constant. The speed of the fans is automatically regulated to provide correct airflow even if the filters begin to become clogged, if air diffusers become blocked, etc. A constant airflow is advantageous, since the airflow is always at the level preset from the beginning. Pressure regulation Pressure control involves automatically varying the airflow to provide constant pressure in the ducting. This type of control is therefore also called VAV Regulation (Variable Air Volume). Pressure regulation is used when e.g. damper functions increase the airflow in sections of the ventilation system. The duct pressure is measured by an external pressure sensor in the ductwork. The setpoint required (separate for low speed and high speed) is adjusted in Pa. The function can be limited so that the fan speed does not exceed the preset max. permissible values. Demand control Demand control involves regulating the flow requirement via external sensors, such as a carbon dioxide sensor that is wired to the control unit. The setpoint, separate for low speed mode and high speed mode, is preset as a percentage of the input signal. The function can be limited so that the flow will not be higher or lower than the preset max. and min. permissible values respectively. Slave control Slave control involves constantly regulating the flow to be the same as the other fan. If one fan is pressure-controlled or demand-controlled, the other one can be controlled as a slave to generate the same airflow. The performance of the slave fan can be restricted if its maximum flow is set to a lower airflow rate. It is not possible to control both fans as slaves. If both are selected by mistake, the extract air fan will be forced to operate in the flow regulation mode. Seasonally compensated airflow Outdoor compensation of the airflow can be activated if the airflow is to be reduced in the winter. Seasonally compensated airflow is an energy-saving function that reduces the costs for operating the fans, reheating and the building's regular heating system. This function cannot be combined with flow regulation or pressure regulation. The function has no effect if the airflow is demand-controlled. Y = Reduction of the airflow % 0% -10% -20% -30% -40% -50% Y1 X1 X X = Outdoor air temperature C Outdoor air compensation according to factory settings involves: Outdoor temperature of +10 C (Breakpoint X2): Compensation starts and gradually proceeds between 0 30% down to an outdoor air temperature of -20 C. Outdoor air temperature of -20 C (Breakpoint X1): Constant compensation proceeds at 30% (max. reduction Y1). Density-corrected airflow The density of the air is different at different temperatures. This means that a specific airflow changes at various air densities. The Air handling module automatically corrects this, so that the correct airflow is always obtained. 28

29 Description of the functions Flow/pressure, air handling Boost Boosting can be used e.g. in assembly halls, where a higher rate of air change is needed under full-load conditions. The airflow is regulated between two flows from an external signal, e.g. potentiometer. Boost is activated only when TELLUS operates at high speed. Reduction of flow/pressure through regulation In the event of an increased heating load for ERS control or supply air control, the deceleration of the supply airflow or both the supply airflow and the extract airflow is the final step in the control sequence. An adjustable reduction in temperature allows a lower supply air temperature setpoint, before reduction is initiated. Air recirculation section Intermittent night heating TELLUS is utilised to heat the premises when it is normally stopped by the timer. Intermittent night heating requires an external room sensor. The best capacity is obtained if the Air handling module is equipped with an air recirculation section. When the function is activated, TELLUS detects when the room temperature drops below the preset start temperature. TELLUS starts with preset flows and the supply air temperature setpoint. Can be combined with extra control sequence. Intermittent night-time heating with air recirculation section: If the extract airflow is set to 0 and the damper output is not activated, the following takes place: When conditions for starting are met, outdoor air and exhaust air shut-off dampers remain closed. The damper in the air recirculation section is opened. The extract air fan is idle. The supply air fan operates according to the preset supply airflow and the air heater for preheating operates according to the preset supply air temperature setpoint, until the conditions for stopping are met. Zero calibration The zero value of the pressure sensors is checked and if the value is not correct, a new calibration is carried out. Engages automatically every time the fans are stopped for more than three minutes. OPTIMIZE The OPTIMIZE function optimises the Air handling module's airflow for the connected WISE system (see separate documentation for WISE). SUPPLY AIR EXTRACT AIR Morning BOOST TELLUS is utilised to heat the premises during a preset period prior to the switch-in time set on the timer. Morning BOOST is used if the air recirculation section is installed. TELLUS starts early and utilises the same settings for operation and temperature regulation as is the case for the regular start time, except that the air is recirculated through the TELLUS unit. 29

30 Description of the functions Air recirculation section SUPPLY AIR EXTRACT AIR CO 2 ReCO 2 ReCO 2 can be used where recirculated air is accepted, and where heating and cooling require larger airflows than that demanded by the requirement for air quality. ReCO 2 ensures air quality and air temperature, but consumes no more fan energy than necessary. ReCO 2 requires the following accessories: The TCBR recirculation section, complete with modulating damper actuator and spring return. TCSA outdoor air damper, complete with modulating damper actuator and spring return. Air quality sensor ELQZ (this sensor is selected in those cases where the function is intended to be controlled by air quality). Complete kit for controlling ReCO 2, TBLZ The function can be selected for CO 2 function or temperature function. CO 2 The supply and extract airflow is constant according to the preset airflow on TELLUS' control panel. The recirculation damper opens and closes variably in order to obtain the preset air quality. The minimum outdoor and exhaust air volumes are set on the control panel. The pressure sensor and the modulating outdoor air damper ensure the correct outdoor air volume* and balance in the TELLUS unit. * The minimum permissible outdoor air volume is affected by the total pressure drop in the ventilation system and therefore must be calculated. CO 2 + Flow The supply and extract airflow is constant according to the preset airflow on TELLUS' control panel. The recirculation damper opens and closes variably in order to obtain the preset air quality. The minimum outdoor and exhaust air volumes are set on the control panel. The pressure sensor and the modulating outdoor air damper ensure the correct outdoor air volume* and balance in the TELLUS unit. When the damper is completely closed for return air and the preset air quality is not achieved, the airflow will be steplessly increased to achieve the preset air quality. The airflow can be increased up to the preset max flow. Temperature The mixture of return air takes place in sequence with heating and cooling. For the heating sequence, it is possible to select whether the function is active or not active. It is also possible to select whether the mixture of return air should take place before the sequence for the air heater has engaged (economy function), or whether the mixture of return air should take place when the sequence for the air heater is at 100% and there is still a heating requirement (comfort function). For the cooling sequence, it is possible to select in the same way whether the function is to be active or not active. It is also possible to select whether the mixture of return air should take place before the sequence for the air cooler has engaged (economy function), or whether the mixture of return air should take place when the sequence for the air cooler is at 100% and there is still a cooling requirement (comfort function). The minimum outdoor and exhaust air volumes are set on the control panel. The pressure sensor and the modulating outdoor air damper ensure the correct outdoor air volume* and balance in the TELLUS unit. The Heating Boost and Cooling Boost functions are activated on the control panel if an increased supply airflow is required in the event of a heating or cooling load. These functions can be combined with all the functions described above. 30

31 Description of the functions Filters Filter monitoring The Air handling module's filter is supplied with a pressure sensor that continuously measures the filters' current pressure drop. Together with an efficient filter monitoring function, this offers optimum filter utilisation. Readings Current pressure drop and calculated alarm limit can be read on the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. Alarm limit of the filters As the filters become soiled, the pressure drop across them increases (the speed of the fans automatically increases to compensate for the resistance caused by the clogged filter medium). The alarm limit must be continuously calculated and automatically changed depending on the current flow. An alarm is initiated when the preset alarm limit for each filter is exceeded. The desired alarm limit can be set on the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. To calibrate the filters An automatic filter test is activated to measure the initial pressure drop across the filters in the Air handling module. Calibration is carried out when the unit is commissioned and when the filters are changed. Prefilter Prefilters can be used in installations where the extract air or supply air is heavily polluted, in order to prevent the fine filter in the Air handling module from becoming clogged after a short time. The following accessories are required for the prefilter function: Prefilter, TBFA or another type. If another type of prefilter other than TBFA is used, the TBLZ-1-23 pressure sensor can be selected for filter monitoring. The potential for taking readings and setting the alarm limit is available on the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. Post-filter A post-filter can be used in installations where further filtering of the supply air is required. The following accessories are required for the post-filter function: Post-filter section, TCFB or another type. If another type of postfilter other than TCFB is used, the TBLZ-1-23 pressure sensor can be selected for filter monitoring. The potential for taking readings and setting the alarm limit is available on the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. Airflow adjustments Settings and adjustments are made via the Air handling module s hand-held terminal or web page. The speed of the fans can be locked for up to 72 hours. This is practical when making air adjustments in the duct system and air diffusers. The desired period is preset, but can be interrupted earlier by selecting STOP in the menu or by changing the time setting to 0. 31

32 Description of the functions Other operating functions, air handling Unit in operation Independent contact stops when the Air handling module operates at high or low speed. Closes when the module has stopped or when an alarm has tripped. Can e.g. be used to indicate operation. Unit at high speed Independent contact stops when the Air handling module operates at high speed. Can e.g. be used to indicate operation. Unit at low speed Independent contact stops when the Air handling module operates at low speed. Can e.g. be used to indicate operation. External stopping of unit External disconnection stops the Air handling module. Provides the potential to stop the module remotely. External fire/smoke function External disconnection from fire or smoke detector installation stops the TELLUS unit and produces an alarm on the control panel. IQnomic Plus IQnomic Plus is an additional module that is used for extra control functions. Certain specific control functions require this additional module, e.g. solutions for Swegon Solutions. It can also be used for external monitoring. Functions that can be connected to the additional module's terminal block in the event of external monitoring: Flow indication EA Flow indication SA 0-10 VDC as a function of the current flow. External alarm acknowledgement, Air handling module Remote resetting of alarms is possible via external normallyopen contact action. This function works in parallel with the control panel's reset function. Indication Two independent contacts can be selected optionally for indication of two of the following functions: - Cooling BOOST - Heating BOOST - Cooling load - Heating load, heat exchanger - Heating load, reheating - Supply air, reduction - Intermittent night heating - Summer night cooling - Morning BOOST - Defrosting, rotary heat exchanger 32

33 Description of the functions Rotary heat exchanger Control The rotary heat exchanger starts up in the event of a heating load. If the heating load increases, the control system regulates the rotation speed of the heat exchanger rotor, variably and linearly to maximum heat recovery. Defrosting (option) In environments where the extract air can occasionally be humid, the defrosting function can be activated to protect the heat exchanger from frosting. The function continuously monitors the condition of the heat exchanger rotor to prevent it from becoming clogged due to condensate that has frozen inside the exchanger. The function requires the connection of a separate pressure sensor. When the function is activated, the pressure drop across the exchanger is continuously measured. If the pressure drop exceeds the preset limit value, a defrosting sequence is carried out. This involves decreasing the rotor speed to allow warm extract air to melt any possible frost. Note that the heat exchanger performs less efficiently while defrosting is in progress and that the supply air temperature will drop downstream of the heat exchanger. Connection principle for the defrosting function with separate pressure sensor. Cooling energy recovery The heat exchanger rotates at max. speed in order to recover the relative cooling energy available inside the premises. It engages when there is a cooling load and when the outdoor air temperature is higher than the extract air temperature. Air purging operation The air purging function prevents clogging of the heat exchanger's air ducts. It engages when TELLUS is in operation but there is no heating load and the heat exchanger is idle. The heat exchanger rotor then rotates for 10 seconds every 10 minutes to perform purging. Carry-over control If the fans are generating low airflows, the rotary heat exchanger is decelerated to an appropriate speed to ensure a correct purging airflow through the heat exchanger. Rotation monitor The rotation monitor sensor continuously monitors the heat exchanger. If a malfunction causes the heat exchanger to stop, an alarm is initiated and TELLUS is stopped if the outdoor temperature is low. Prolonged heat exchanger operation After the unit has been commanded to stop, it takes a while for the fans to come to a complete stop. To prevent the supply air from cooling down when TELLUS is shut down, the rotary heat exchanger automatically continues to rotate for about one minute. Efficiency calculation The temperature efficiency is calculated and displayed (0 100%) on the Air handling module s hand-held terminal. 33

34 Description of the functions Heating Heating air handling The air handling module is supplied with a combined liquidborne air heater/air cooler. Valves that regulate the cooling or heating water are located in the Hydronic module. A separate control valve steplessly controls the need for heating or cooling. In the event of a heating load, the control valve is governed in sequence with the rotary heat exchanger. Heating, supply air Reheating Air heater, liquid-borne The function is used in conjunction with extended control sequence. If there is a heating requirement, the valve and actuator are controlled in sequence with the rotary heat exchanger and regular air heater in the Air handling module. Heating BOOST Heating BOOST means that TELLUS, operating in normal flow regulation mode, increases both the supply airflow and the extract airflow in order to carry more heat into the premises. The fans are allowed to operate in the range between current flow modes (low speed, high speed) and the preset max speed flow. The function only works if the unit is operating in extract air regulation mode. If demand control or boost is selected in combination with heating boost, the flow is controlled by the function that transmits the highest output signal to the fans. This function cannot be combined with pressure regulation. A regulated ramp function begins and increases the airflow if the temperature exceeds its setpoint and it differs by 2-10K (3K has been factory preset) from the preset max. supply air temperature. The control reaction speed (ramp time = % flow increase/ minute) can be set. The highest possible airflow is restricted by the max. flow. 34

35 Description of the functions Heating Boosted heating, daytime When the exhaust airflow is not sufficient to remove the surplus cooling energy, the Energy exchange module's bypass damper is opened at the same time as its fan starts up. The total airflow generated by the Air handling module's and the Energy exchange module's fans is always sufficient to remove the surplus energy. As long as the extract airflow is sufficient, the Energy exchange module's fan does not need to be used. This means that the efficiency for the production of heat is significantly higher than with a traditional solution. The combination where the fans in the Air handling module and the Energy exchange module co-operate is unique, and Swegon has applied for a patent for this solution. Heating via radiators, nighttime When radiators are used for heat retention at night, no supply air is required, which means that the Air handling module can be shut off. The Chiller and heat pump module's requirement for recovered energy from the outdoor air is supplied by the Energy exchange module via its bypass damper and fan. In this way, heating or cooling are produced completely independently of the airflow requirement. Heating via radiators and tap water, daytime The supply flow temperature to the radiators, comfort modules, climate beams or underfloor heating is needs-controlled via All Year Comfort (AYC), which optimises efficiency over the year. This leads to significant energy savings as heating is always performed with water that is as cold as possible, which results in significantly improved average values for the efficiency COP, seen of the year. Additional heating, external The additional heating is connected to a heat exchanger in the Hydronic module. The relevant heat exchanger is optional. The additional heating is used to provide support in cases where the Chiller and heat pump module cannot supply the required heating energy, e.g. in the event of a low outdoor temperature. The additional heating may be obtained from district heating, a central heating boiler, etc. Backup heating An electric heater may be placed in TELLUS' hot tank and used as backup when the heating pump cannot produce the required heating energy, e.g. in the event of a low outdoor temperature. 35

36 Description of the functions Heating Heating via comfort modules or climate beams, night-time When comfort modules or climate beams are used for heat retention at night, the Recirculation section accessory is recommended in order to achieve the required driving pressure for the comfort modules/climate beams without the use of cooling outdoor air. Thanks to the internal Recirculation section, there is no pressure drop across the rotor and supply air filter. In order to produce heating, the outdoor air is recirculated in the Energy exchange module at the same time as the extract air is recirculated in the Recirculation section. The supply flow temperature to the comfort modules/climate beams is at least 35 C. (Approx. 10K lower than when heating with radiators) Comparison Night-time heat retention with radiators or comfort modules or climate beams. 1. The installation of comfort modules/climate beams is significantly cheaper than installing chilled beams or radiators. 2. The service and maintenance of comfort modules/climate beams is significantly cheaper than installing chilled beams or radiators. 3. Despite the fan energy that is required for the comfort modules /climate beams driving pressure, the operating cost for heat retention with comfort modules/climate beams is significantly cheaper than is the case with radiators.* * Thanks to the low pressure drop in the system at night, very little fan energy is required for the comfort modules'/climate beams driving pressure. Even if a solution with radiators does not require any fan energy, comfort modules/climate beams are more energy efficient as the inlet temperature is approx. 10K lower, which produces a significantly better COP value. See also the study performed by CIT Management Göteborg, Sweden. The supply flow temperature (supply line temp.) is lower for induction units The COP and ε for induction units is approximately 0.5 units higher than for radiators 36

37 Description of the functions Cooling Cooling air handling The air handling module is supplied with a combined liquidborne air heater/air cooler. Valves that regulate the cooling or heating water are located in the Hydronic module. A separate control valve steplessly controls the need for heating or cooling. In the event of a cooling load, the control valve is governed to achieve the required temperature. Cooling, supply air Functions Cooling, min. airflow If the TELLUS unit's airflow is lower that this limit, the cooling function will be blocked. Neutral zone The neutral zone is the temperature where the cooling setpoint is higher than the heating setpoint. The neutral zone prevents cooling and heating regulation from working too close to each other. Controlling cooling for comfort modules or climate beams See the section for All Year Comfort (AYC). Chiller and heat pump module The chiller's setpoint for the water temperature is controlled by TELLUS and determined by the cooling requirement in the installation. The temperature setpoint from All Year Comfort is compared with the regular cooling setpoint for the supply air, and the lower of these values is sent as the setpoint for the chiller. Cooling BOOST Cooling BOOST means that the supply air and extract air airflows are increased to convey more cooling energy to the premises. The flow increase takes place between the current flow and the preset max. flow. This function cannot be combined with pressure regulation. The function can be selected in five variants as follows: Comfort The air cooler/chiller outputs are activated if there is a cooling load. When the temperature exceeds its setpoint and the supply air temperature is within the preset limit, a regulated ramp function begins and increases the flow. The control reaction speed (ramp time = % flow increase/minute) can be set. The highest possible airflow is restricted by the max. flow. Economy Cooling BOOST Economy initially uses a higher airflow to cool the premises, before a start signal is transmitted to the chiller. The function can also operate without the cooling function activated. In the event of a cooling load, the airflows are slowly increased up to preset maximum flow. If the airflows are up to max and there is still a cooing load, the air cooler/chiller is activated. The cooling boost function requires that the outdoor air temperature is at least 2 C lower than the extract air temperature for it to be activated. Normal cooling operation is activated if the temperature difference is too small. Sequence The Cooling BOOST Sequence is used if an air cooler/chiller is sized for a higher than normal cooling flow. If there is a cooling load, the flow is increased up to the preset max. flow before the cooling function is activated. The cooling function is delayed 1 minute after the airflow is increased. The Cooling BOOST Sequence is blocked if no cooling function has been selected. Comfort + Economy The comfort variant and the economy variant can be combined. Economy + Sequence The economy variant and the sequence variant can be combined. 37

38 Description of the functions Cooling Cooling and tap water, daytime When producing cooling, free heating energy is recovered in the system. This energy can be used as a heating water or hot tap water. Unused energy is emitted via the Energy exchange module. The supply flow temperature to comfort modules or climate beams is needs-controlled via All Year Comfort (AYC), which optimises efficiency over the year. This leads to significant energy savings as cooling is always performed with water that is as hot as possible, which results in significantly improved average values for the efficiency EER, seen of the year. Boosted cooling, daytime When the exhaust airflow is not sufficient to remove the surplus heating energy, the Energy exchange module's bypass damper is opened at the same time as its fan starts up. The total airflow generated by the Air handling module's and the Energy exchange module's fans is always sufficient to remove the surplus energy. As long as the extract airflow is sufficient, the Energy exchange module's fan does not need to be used. This means that the efficiency for the production of cooling is significantly higher than with a traditional solution. The combination where the fans in the Air handling module and the Energy exchange module co-operate is unique, and Swegon has applied for a patent for this solution. Simultaneous cooling and heating production At outdoor temperatures of between 5 C and 15 C, most buildings have a simultaneous cooling and heating requirement. There is usually a need for hot tap water. Under these conditions, all recovery functions in TELLUS are used fully, i.e. no or very little energy is obtained from/provided by the outdoor air via the Energy exchange module. In the event of cooling energy production, the need for heating and hot tap water is met by surplus energy, and in the event of heating energy production, the need for cooling is met by surplus energy. This means that the energy requirement (heating or cooling) that is lowest at the time is supplied by TELLUS at no cost. Free cooling If there is a cooling requirement indoors and it is relatively cool outdoors, the cooling energy can be obtained for free from outdoors instead of producing cooling energy with the chiller. Cooling energy is then supplied directly via the ventilation and by the circulation of cold water from TELLUS. 38

39 Description of the functions Moisture in supply and extract air If dehumidification and humidifying are activated at the same time, dehumidification is given priority and the possible setting for humidifying is limited to the same as or lower than the dehumidification control's set value. There is a delay of 5 minutes between the dehumidification control having stopped and humidifying starting up (and vice versa). Dehumidification (future planned function) The dehumidification control governs the moisture in the supply air duct by means of an air cooler and an air heater for reheating. The function requires the air cooler to be installed before the air heater in the supply air duct. The TBLZ humidity sensor is mounted in the supply air duct and connected to TELLUS. Cooling energy is emitted to condense the moisture in the supply airflow, which then is heated to the desired supply air temperature. This causes a reduction in the moisture content of the supply air. The supply air must be cooled to a temperature so that it is below the dew point in order that condensation and dehumidification can take place. See also All Year Comfort under Temperature regulation. Humidifying Evaporative humidification This function is suitable together with an evaporative humidifier (not Swegon). The function requires the accessory IQnomic Plus module TBIQ and humidity sensor TBLZ-31. Humidity sensor is installed inside the extract air or supply air duct. The humidity in the extract air duct (the premises) or the supply air duct is regulated between adjustable start and stop limits. Vapour humidification The function is suitable together with a vapour humidifier (not Swegon) and has variable control via the control signal 0-10 V, as well as a contact function that interlocks the humidifier in the event the TELLUS unit has been shut down, summer night cooling or if the extract air's humidity is more than 10% above the setpoint. The function requires the accessory IQnomic Plus module TBIQ and 2 humidity sensors TBLZ-31. Humidity sensors are installed inside the extract air and supply air duct. The function keeps the humidity level constant in the extract air duct (the premises) by regulating the humidity in the supply air. In order to prevent the humidity in the supply air being too high, it has a maximum limit. Damper Damper control Dampers open when the TELLUS unit is opened and close when the unit is shut down. Readings Using a special Readings menu in the Air handling module s hand-held terminal, it is possible to read current operating values such as flows, temperatures, control sequence output values, the status of inputs and outputs, filter pressure, SFPv values, alarm history, etc. Manual test Manual test operation can take place for testing the inputs and outputs, fans and heat exchanger, etc. Used for installation or troubleshooting to test that wired connections and functions operate correctly. Most alarms, functions and normal control modes will be blocked while manual testing is in progress. 39

40 Description of the functions Alarm settings, air handling module Fire alarms External fire alarm Used for external fire-control equipment. Internal fire alarm The air handling module s internal temperature sensors serve as fire protection thermostats. An alarm is initiated if the supply air temperature sensor registers more than 70 C or when the extract air temperature sensor registers more than 50 C. Fans, in the event of a fire The air handling module's fans can be used for evacuating smoke etc. The activated functions work together with the external fire/smoke function or internal fire alarm. Fan speed in the event of a fire Will be activated automatically if the fans have been activated in event of fire (see above). Makes it possible to restrict the max. speed of the fans. External alarms External alarms 1 and 2 External alarms can be used for external functions. Typical uses: Motor protection for the circulation pump in the heating or cooling circuit. Service alarm actuated by smoke detectors. The time delay is set, as is whether the alarm is to be activated in the event of closure of the circuit or disconnection. Alarm limits Alarm limits can be preset for the following: - Nonconforming supply air temperature. - Min. extract air temperature - Filters. - Heat exchanger. - Service period. Alarm blocking This function makes it possible to activate or block certain alarms, e.g. temperature and flow alarms. Alarm Alarms are issued with alarm text and a flashing symbol on the control panel (see figure to the right). The alarm indication is shown in all menu images. A list of current and acknowledged and events is shown in the menu for alarm and event codes (see figure to the right). Alarms that require manual resetting can be reset from the control panel. Alarms that reset themselves automatically will do so as soon as the fault has been remedied. Further information about alarms is available in the Operating and maintenance instructions for TELLUS. The instructions can be found at (com). Alarm indication Alarm and event codes 40

41 Description of the functions Communication The potential for communication and supervision is integrated as standard in the TELLUS system. Communication can be established via Ethernet without software other than an ordinary web browser, such as Internet Explorer. TELLUS is ready to be connected via Modbus TCP for monitoring via the existing system. Communication via internal network TELLUS has a built-in web server that makes it possible to communicate with TELLUS via an internal network. This then provides access to a dynamic flow diagram for reading and setting temperatures, flows, etc. All that is needed is an ordinary computer with a web browser, such as Internet Explorer. It is also possible to connect directly to a modem for remote connection. Communication via existing monitoring system The scope available for communication is conditional on the software and its programming. The TELLUS unit itself provides the potential for comprehensive communication of readings, settings and functions. Further information about alarms is available in the Operating and maintenance instructions for TELLUS. The instructions can be found at (com). Examples of flow diagrams. Logging function The control system in TELLUS has a built-in logging function for e.g. the temperature of liquids, air and energy consumption. On the control panel and when communicating via the built-in web server, logged values can be read off according to predefined trends. The values are presented in the form of a curve diagram that allows the user to review previous changes. Example of presentation of the logging function. 41

42 Description of the functions Defrosting, Energy exchange module s heat exchanger coil In environments where the exhaust air can be humid, the defrosting function for the Energy exchange module's heat exchanger coil can be activated to protect the heat exchanger from frosting. The function continuously monitors the condition of the heat exchanger coil to prevent it from becoming clogged due to condensate freezing inside the coil. The pressure difference is measured in the heat exchanger coil. When the differential is too great for a given airflow, heating water is circulated through the coil to melt any frost. The defrosting function means that the speed of the Air handling module s rotary heat exchanger is lowered, resulting in warmer air flows through the heat exchanger coil. This defrosting function is completely unique, and for which Swegon has a patent pending. Heat exchanger coil Chiller and heat pump module TELLUS has a hot and a cold circuit. The cooling water temperature on either side is controlled by the Chiller and heat pump module and the Energy exchange module. It is possible to connect TELLUS to an external heat source, e.g. district heating or a central heating boiler, as a backup or additional heating. When the Chiller and heat pump module is activated, the temperature of the cool side decreases while the temperature on the hot side increases. The intention is normally only to run one of these processes, with the other being a side-effect. However, if there is a simultaneous heating and cooling requirement, the side-effect can be utilised and viewed as free energy. An example of this might be premises that have a simultaneous need for comfort cooling and hot tap water. If the Chiller and heat pump module is primarily working to satisfy the cooling requirement, the heating energy for heating the hot tap water is obtained free of charge. In order to determine when there is a need to raise or lower the temperature of the refrigerant, the temperature requirements of each consumer in the system are compared. The consumers can include waterborne climate system, the supply air coil or the hot tap water module. The consumer with the highest demands and highest priority has its temperature requirements satisfied. The remaining consumers may use the given temperature and regulate the capacity with the aid of the flow or shunt valves. One major advantage of TELLUS is that it can supply heating and cooling at the same time, to different systems or parts of systems. When there is a simultaneous requirement for heating and cooling, one of these requirements is always satisfied free of charge. The desired temperature for waterborne climate systems is controlled by All Year Comfort (AYC). AYC bases its temperature requirements on the outdoor temperature. In the event of an increasing outdoor temperature in the case of cooling, the desired temperature decreases in the cold circuit in TELLUS etc. This entails that the cooling water does not have an unnecessarily low or high temperature, ensuring lower energy consumption. 42

43 Description of the functions Swegon Solutions Swegon Solutions are special control functions for ventilation and the indoor climate. TELLUS is ideally suited for e.g. Hotel Solution and Office Solution Water. As TELLUS produces heating, cooling and hot tap water at the same time or independently of each other, operating conditions all year round can be served. TELLUS is reliable, compact and energy efficient. For more information, see separate documentation for Swegon Solutions. Super WISE Super WISE controls and monitors an intelligent, demandcontrolled indoor climate. The system can comprise intelligent diffusers, comfort modules/climate beams, dampers or a combination of these. Super WISE can be selected as an accessory to TELLUS. TELLUS' built-in control equipment, along with Super WISE, is then a total solution for the production and control of the entire indoor climate. Super WISE together with TELLUS is an energy-efficient solution that saves operating costs and the environment. SuperWISE is a system for demand-controlled ventilation that detects the position of each zone damper and optimises TELLUS' pressure rise so that at least one zone damper is always at least 90% open. This reduces TELLUS' power consumption by up to 25% and also contributes to making the ventilation system operate more quietly. For further information, see the Super WISE documentation. 43
