Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2253897A1] A control system (11) for controlling a plurality of refrigerating machines (2) of an air-conditioning plant (1) having fan coil units (3) connected to the refrigerating machines (2) via an hydronic circuit (4) within which a coolant flows, the hydronic circuit (4) having a bypass duct (9) connecting a delivery duct (5) with a return duct (6), the control system (11) having: temperature sensors (12-14) to measure the temperature (TDLV) of the fluid in the delivery duct (5) upstream of the bypass duct (9), the temperature (TRET) of the fluid in the return duct (6) and the temperature (TLIN) of the fluid in the delivery duct (5) downstream of the bypass duct (9); a supervision unit (15) configured to provide an estimate of the thermal load (PLE) of the service circuit (4) as a function of the measured temperatures (TDLV, TRET, TLIN) and to determine operating states (ST i ) and part load ratios (PLR i ) to set for the refrigerating machines (2) such as to enable them to provide an overall cooling capacity that satisfies the estimated thermal load (PLE) with the minimum consumption of electric power.
