Carrier ClimaVision Climate Control System

INTRODUCTION TO THE CLIMAVISION DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Carrier is on a mission to substantially reduce energy consumption in the world’s commercial buildings while improving the comfort and health of the people who work there. ClimaVision achieves this through automation that adapts to change and data that engages people with insights they can use to maintain building systems and operations. To make that difference, automation and data must be present in a much greater percentage of the buildings than they are today, and this can only be accomplished by cutting cost and increasing value.

ClimaVision has adopted a works-out-of-the-box philosophy that redefines the state of the art. Instead of a BAS that can be programmed to do anything, we have created a Climate Control System that is pre-programmed to do most things. Within that pre-programmed manifesto, we still need to account for building variations. To account for these variations while keeping our works- out-of-the-box mantra, we have developed a hierarchy of ways to support variations:

PROFILES — Software and firmware bundles that encapsulate sequences of operation for building systems and terminal equipment.

CONFIGURATIONS — Field settings within each profile that account for equipment differences in systems and terminal equipment.

TUNERS — Units and factors within the algorithm supporting sequences of operation that fine-tune the behavior of the system and terminal equipment.

ANALYTICS & NOTIFICATIONS — Predefined analytics and notifications suitable for the selected profiles, and user-defined dashboards and alerts.

The System Design Guides Carrier has prepared are intended to help designers and sales teams determine which solutions are a fit with the type of systems that need control, and how Carrier provides them. The System Design Guide provides a high-level understanding of the requirements sufficient to prepare an initial design at the Profile level and a quotation for a project. Configurations are not discussed here; these would be found in a Submittal when the project arrives at that stage. Tuners are addressed during start up and ongoing support.

CLIMAVISION SYSTEM & TERMINAL PROFILES

System Profiles are for central HVAC equipment types that are controlled by a ClimaVision Central Control Unit (CCU), such as multi-zone air handlers.

Terminal Profiles are for terminal equipment types that are supported by central equipment or operate in a stand-alone sequence. This equipment is controlled by either a Node Class Controller or a Stat Class controller and is paired with the CCU.

SENSING & MONITORING APPLICATION OVERVIEW

The COVID Pandemic has elevated awareness and importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and it has become more important to provide IAQ sensors in commercial interiors. The need is for more than just sensing, but the display, analytics, and notifications for IAQ data that makes it useful.

ClimaVision provides packaged devices that provide bundles of IAQ sensors that are affordable and easily deployed. They connect to the cloud via a gateway and provide pre-configured analytics and notifications.

ClimaVision’s user portal offers real-time insight into your buildings’ energy, comfort, and air quality. Heatmaps are configurable to show other data such as humidity conditions ranging from normal, high, and dry

The Hyper Stat is part of ClimaVision’s vertically-integrated Climate Control System, delivering multi-mode sensing, remote monitoring, and individual zone control for the comfort and productivity of building occupants. This device includes wireless mesh network communication and Bluetooth commissioning. The Hyper Stat can also be controlled with a third-party BMS via BACnet or Modbus via its RS-485 port.

Select the Hyper Stat for this bundle of IAQ sensing points:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• CO₂
• VOC
• Occupancy
• Light
• Sound

By adding optional sensors, other things can be monitored such as:

• Equipment status/power consumption with a current sensor
• Condensate overflow with a float switch
• Dirty filter status with a differential pressure sensor
• Open door and key card sensor
• Refrigerator/freezer monitor

CLIMAVISION SMART NODE

WIRNG DETALS

The Smart Node is an equipment controller designed to be installed on or near terminal equipment – not in occupied spaces. It offers flexible software- defined configurations which can control a range of single and dual stage equipment across all ClimaVision application solutions. Each Smart Node is powered by 24V AC or DC and is designed to accept daisy-chain power. This device includes wireless mesh network communication and Bluetooth commissioning. The ClimaVision Smart Node has a 4-pin RS485 connector for a Schneider Energy Meter and a 3-pin digital sensor bus that can monitor ClimaVision digital sensors and up to 4 Multi Sensors (coming in 2022).

Select the ClimaVision Smart Node to monitor up to four Multi Sensors at once that are averaged together to obtain a better sample of a large interior space. Select the Single Stage Equipment (SSE) profile to obtain the desired sensor.

SMART NODE SENSOR OPTIONS

Sensors are wired to the Smart Node to support desired sequence of operation, monitoring and notifications. Any analogy sensor may also be connected to the Smart Node, such as current transformers and third-party pressure transducers. The following ClimaVision digital sensors can be wired via digital and analogy inputs:

| WALL SENSOR| Perfect for drywall or other framed walls. Senses for temperature and humidity.
---|---|---
