Constant Air Volume
Constant volume operation is generally desirable if the load in the intended zone does not fluctuate. This type of air volume strategy is often employed with single speed air handlers without variable frequency drive (VFD) capability.
A single duct terminal with constant volume operation may or may not have an actuator, flow sensor, and controls. If the unit does not have an actuator, it is typically supplied with a manually locking quadrant that allows the damper blade to be locked into a single position.
Variable Air Volume
Variable volume operation is desirable if the occupancy and/or load in the intended zone is expected to fluctuate. To handle the fluctuating system air volumes, central air handlers must either have VFD capability, or there needs to be a bypass relief to the return of the air handler. Variable volume operation requires the DDC package to communicate with the actuator on the damper shaft to modulate the amount of airflow leaving the terminal unit.
With the increased focus within the industry on energy efficiency, variable volume control strategies with pressure independent capability are the basis of design for many consulting Engineers.
Electric coils are available as an accessory for single duct and fan powered terminal units, or as a stand-alone duct heater.
For Venturi Valve (Air Valve pressure independent)
Venturi Valves are mechanically pressure independent airflow control valves designed specifically for room pressure and fume hood control applications.
