APPLICATIONS

Research Environments with High Speed VAV Fume Hoods

As part of the Critical Spaces Control Platform (CSCP), the PBC functions as the zone controller managing offset

control, temperature and humidity control, occupancy control, emergency control, and has additional programmable

logic control. Where fume hood containment and rapid airflow control really count, the PBC can manage the demands

of laboratory spaces with up to 20 high-speed valves, and 10 fume hoods monitors in one zone. Multiple temperature

zones, built-in diversity, and usage based controls can all assist in saving energy. Zone balance and offset control

managed with a one-second response speed of response, and several emergency control modes can be programmed for

flexible room sequencing. Bluetooth connection to the Phoenix Controls Flow Manager app allows support for viewing

alarms, monitoring space conditions, and making setpoint changes. The Flow Manager app is available for Android and

iOS. For more information on the Flow Manager App, see the Flow Manager App Datasheet (MKT-0518).

Life Sciences / Vivariums

Zone balance, comfort control and air change rate diversity for general research spaces are key, as well as maintaining

more natural, lower stress environments for research animals. The Critical Spaces Control Platform can manage a

uniquely broad diversity of demands within a single facility. Each PBC manages up to four standard speed venturi valves

which will support low up-front install cost without compromising controllability. Zone balance, offset control,

switching polarity of spaces (Positive to Negative or vice versa), Temperature control, Humidity control, and other

sequencing can all be accomplished with one PBC.
