5.11.3 Free cooling (FreeCDtr11y)
The purpose of the 'Free cooling' function is to ensure that overheated living area
can be cost efficiently cooled down by using the lower outside temperatures just by
increasing the air circulation.
Activation of the function occurs, when
● Outside air (TOa) is sufficiently low compared to the apartment temperature
(extract or room),
and
● Apartment temperature is above its actual setpoint + configurable hysteresis,
and
● Outside temperature is above set minimum limit,
and
● Free cooling is configured
For de-activation a hysteresis of 2K (fix) is used.
During activation, the operating mode is set to Comfort and kept there until one of
the activation criteria is no longer fulfilled.
In case of cascade control, the actual room temperature setpoint (depending on
the operating mode) is used.
As there is no room temperature setpoint available for supply air control, a
configurable virtual room temperature setpoint is used.
