Functional description

The fan assisted VAV terminal unit has a fan running at a constant design air volume and draws a mixture of primary air and induction air through the unit. By adjusting the amount of primary air supplied to the unit the ratio of primary to induced air is changed.

The primary air VAV terminal unit is fitted with a differential pressure sensor for measuring the volume flow rate. The control component (attachments) consists of a VAV compact controller which includes a differential pressure transducer that transforms the differential pressure (effective pressure) into an electronic signal, a volume controller, and an actuator.

For most applications, the setpoint value comes from a room temperature controller. The VAV compact controller compares the actual value with the setpoint value and alters the position of the actuator if there is a difference between the two values.

This specification text describes the general properties of the product.

SFTB: Fan VAV terminal unit

Fan VAV terminal unit for constant volume supply with mixing of primary and induced air for cooling or demand controlled ventilation

SFTB-E: Fan VAV terminal unit with electric reheat

Fan VAV terminal unit for constant volume supply with mixing of primary and induced air for cooling or demand controlled ventilation and heating

Materials and surfaces

Electric heaters

The electric heater is available as an integral unit complete with controls including fuses and interlocks
Integral air heater has elements designed for black heat operation and consists of 80/20 nickel chrome wire in a stainless steel tube (Grade 312) filled with magnesium oxide
Automatic and manual reset high temperature cut out are fitted and a brass earth stud included.
Manufactured to British Standards/Codes as applicable and fully factory tested
Heater elements are wired back into the control enclosure, including the earth, and heater fuses are supplied
Control of the heater for stepless control is by solid state relay

Technical data

When heating is required it is recommended that the primary air should be at Vmin
! It is strongly recommended that the BMS is used to monitor the state of the high temperature cut outs
! Run-on Time: The control strategy for the heater must allow a minimum of 10 minutes fan run-on time to allow the heater to cool safely. During this time the Vmin heating cycle air volume must be maintained for the 10 minute duration after the heater control signal is switched off
It is recommended that the heater output is limited by a supply air temperature sensor to prevent overheating and room supply air stratification

SFTB-1: Fan VAV terminal unit with LPHW coil

Fan VAV terminal unit hot water heat exchanger for constant volume supply with mixing of primary and induced air for cooling or demand controlled ventilation and heating

Materials and surfaces

Hot water coils
Hot water heating coil is manufactured from 3/8 inch diameter copper tube with aluminium fins spaced at 1.8 mm (14 fpi)
Tubes are formed into circuits to limit water velocity and mounted in a galvanised sheet steel flanged frame with copper headers
Heating coils meet the requirements of British Standards/Codes as applicable
Coil connections are 1/2 inch BSPT as a standard
Plugged air vent and drain points are provided

Installation and commissioning

For horizontal commissioning only
The SFTB requires site commissioning by a competent person
Return edges of the casing with drilled holes suitable for M10 threaded rods

Upstream conditions

The effective pressure, which is decisive for the volume flow rate, is recorded and averaged on the control damper blade. Therefore, the volume flow rate accuracy Δqv is dependent on the upstream section. Duct connections, e.g. branches off the main duct, must comply with EN 1506 and EN 13180.
