Staged Air Volume (SAV™)
Indoor Fan Speed System
The Staged Air Volume (SAV) system utilizes a Fan Speed control
board and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to automatically ad-
just the indoor fan motor speed in sequence with the unit’s ventila-
tion, cooling and heating operation. Per ASHRAE 90.1-2016 and
IECC
1
-2015 standards, during the first stage of cooling operation
the SAV system will adjust the fan motor to provide 66% of the
design airflow rate for the unit. When the call for the second stage
of cooling is required, the SAV™ system will allow the design air-
flow rate for the unit established (100%). During the heating
mode, the SAV system will allow total design airflow rate (100%)
operation. During ventilation mode, the SAV system will operate
the fan motor at 66% of full speed.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the VFDs used for the SAV indoor fan
speed system.
