Project objective: Establish a method of applying control theory and equations for transient condition response to tuning actual HVAC systems operating in the field using readily-available hardware.

Project results:

• Developed a simple, inexpensive method of collecting data in the field using calculators with data loggers or other hand-held data collection devices.

• Developed simplified procedures for analysis of collected data in the field.

• Developed and tested educational materials to train technicians on control system tuning. 

• Educational materials for use in your HVACR control classes can be obtained directly from NCME.
