Building Management System

Today, it is quite difficult to manually control a building's equipment, utilities, power, lighting and other energy resources without a reliable and effective control system that ensures the comfort and safety of the people who live and work in the building. Moreover, it is difficult to maintain the equipment and utilities and optimize the resources used. For this reason, building management systems are used to control all systems and energy efficiently and effectively.

What is Building Management System?

A Building Management System is a system for controlling, managing and monitoring devices such as: air conditioning system, lighting system, heating system, ventilation, power supply, door locks, etc.

A Building Management System is a computer-based system that is installed in a building. Building Management System hardware and software were originally developed in the 1960s. Over the years, the IT infrastructure for Building Management Systems has grown organically and many improvements have been made in control, communication, protocols, networking, etc. In today's fast-changing world, Building Management Systems contain mostly incompatible devices and infrastructure.

Nowadays, all commercial buildings are controlled by a Building Management System (BMS) to reduce energy losses and improve control of the systems.

Below are the components and parameter which controlled by Building Management System:-

System for managing heat consumption
System for controlling water supply and pumping system
Temperature Control valve of Air conditioning systems
On-off control for air conditioning system
Controlling Building lightning system
It control smoke detectors and fire hydrants alarm system
Fire alarm system, fire and other emergency warnings system
Building Doors interlocks system
BMS also control the volume control valve of air conditioning system

Advantages of Building Management System:-

The main advantage of BMS is becoming energy efficient by controlling and minimizing energy uses and the waste of energy
Improves the quality of our system and make easier to control
Provide security to our business or Building
Improve the indoor environment safety and quality of our HVAC system
Reduces the our equipment operating cost
Reduces the resources of natural environments

How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit

How to control Temperature and Humidity in Air Handling Unit Overview Air Handling unit is a system used to supply temperature and Humidity controlled filtered air to the cleanroom. For air filtration various types of filters are used in AHU. And for temperature and Humidity controlling cooling and heating coils are provided in AHU. Goals Control the temperature of air used in the cleanroom Control the humidity of air used in cleanroom Air filters Specifications The air Handling unit consists of Air filter Cooling coil Heating coil Air blower HEPA Filter Controlling of Temperature and Humidity By Cooling Method The cooling coil recirculates the chilled water having temperatures between 4°C to 6°C. This chilled water comes from the Chiller through centrifugal pumps. When we start the Air Handling unit blowers sucks the air through the pre filters of the air Handling unit. When blowers sucks air, it passes through the cooling co...

AIR FLOW, AIR VELOCITY, ACPH, AHU CAPACITY

Air Changes per Hour AIR VELOCITY AND ACPH OF ROOM OR AREA Procedure to be followed: Air Velocity Measurement and Calculation of Air Changes: Objective : To demonstrate that the air system is balanced and capable of delivering air velocities and providing number of air changes per hour in the respective rooms as per requirement. Equipment to be used: Hotwire Anemometer or capture Hood Pre Requisite: Air Volumes through supply and return grills and filters should be adjusted as per the design requirement of Air Change Rate and Differential Pressure. Test Method : Ensure that the Supply blower of the AHU is "ON" prior to the start of the observations. For compliance of air change rate, velocity to be measured at 5 different locations to below the each terminal or Grill (Four Corners and center) with the help of calibrated Anemometer. Calculate the average velocity of the air coming from Plenum HEPA filter / supply air grill. Calculate the air...

Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system

Why ice forms at cooling coil and Suction line in Refrigeration system it's all about the relationship between a temperature and pressure and how the pressure affect the boiling point of the refrigerant. As the pressure of refrigerant increases then the temperature and boiling point also increases, when pressure decreased temperature and boiling point also decreases. Refrigeration and air conditioning systems take use of it to cool the air or liquid. Normal Refrigeration System In normal refrigeration system compressor compresses the refrigerant which causes the increase in pressure and temperature of refrigerant. The hot vapour refrigerant pass through the condenser in condenser heat exchange happens and refrigerant condensate into liquid forms.Before entering in the evaporator high pressure liquid refrigerant pass through the expansion of valve. The actual device used depends on the Refrigeration system but capillary t...
