    IC-17 Exhaust-Multiple Fans

    Uploaded by

    Areej A. Abo-Zhoor
    The document provides guidelines for the sequence of operation for an exhaust fan system with multiple fans. It outlines that the system should have variable frequency drives and bypass dampers for static pressure control, automatic fan rotation and standby fan control. It also describes start-stop sequences, fan speed control via static pressure sensing, bypass damper control, single fan failure protocol, and fan rotation sequencing.

    SEQUENCE OF OPERATION GUIDELINE

    EXHAUST FAN SYSTEM-MULTIPLE FANS


    Document: Exhaust-Multiple Fan
    Revision: 1.0
    Rev. Date: July 22, 2011

    NOTES:

    1. THIS SEQUENCE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL WITH A


    BASIC GUIDELINE OF MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A TYPICAL MUTLI FAN
    EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS SEQUENCE SHALL BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED AND
    EDITED WITH RESPECT TO APPLICATION-SPECIFIC PROJECT REQUIREMENTS AND
    PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS SHALL BE REVIEWED WITH FSU STAFF.
    2. THE INTENT IS FOR THIS SEQUENCE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT
    DRAWINGS.
    3. REFERENCE STANDARD CONTROL DIAGRAMS IC-17

    PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING FOR EXHAUST FAN SYSTEMS.

    1. VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE AND BYPASS DAMPERS WITH STATIC PRESSURE


    CONTROL.
    2. AUTOMATIC FAN ROTATION AND FAN FAILURE STANDBY CONTROL.
    3. NORMAL TWO FAN OPERATION WITH A DESIGNATED STANDBY FAN OPERATION.

    SAFETY CONTROL SEQUENCES: PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY FUNCTIONS.

    START-STOP SEQUENCES: PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONAL AND INTERLOCK


    FUNCTIONS WHEN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS STARTED OR STOPPED, UNLESS
    OTHERWISE NOTED. THESE SEQUENCES SHALL BE FUNCTIONAL FOR ANY REASON THE
    EXHAUST SYSTEM STARTS-STOPS IN ANY MODE OF OPERATION (ALL VFD MODES, ALL
    AUTOMATIC AND SAFETY FUNCTIONS, AND LOCAL MANUAL START-STOP).

    1. BYPASS DAMPERS: OPEN BYPASS DAMPERS TO THEIR MINIMUM 25% POSITION


    UPON INITIAL STARTUP. CLOSE DAMPERS UPON EXHAUST SYSTEM STOP.
    2. FANS: RAMP FAN UP TO MINIMUM SPEED AND ENABLE STATIC PRESSURE
    CONTROL. SHUT DOWN FANS UPON EXHAUST SYSTEM SHUTDOWN.

    FAN SPEED CONTROL: PROVIDE STATIC PRESSURE SENSORS MOUNTED IN EXHAUST


    DUCTS AS INDICATED ON FLOOR PLAN. CONTROL THE VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE FROM
    MINIMUM TO MAXIMUM SPEED TO MAINTAIN THE STAITC PRESSURE SETPOINT. IN THE
    EVENT THE REMOTE STATIC PRESSURE BECOMES UNRELIABLE, REVERT CONTROL TO
    THE STATIC PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATED AT THE EXHAUST PLENUM AND INITIATE AN
    ALARM. IN THE EVENT MORE THAN ONE STATIC PRESSURE IS SHOWN, THE BAS SHALL
    CONTROL TO THE SENSOR THAT IS FARTHEST FROM SETPOINT

    BYPASS DAMPER CONTROL: IN THE EVENT THE FANS HAVE REACHED THEIR MINIMUM
    SPEED AND THE STATIC PRESSURE REMAINS HIGH, BEGIN MODULATING THE BYPASS

    1
    DAMPERS BETWEEN THEIR MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OPEN POSITION. CONTINUE
    MODULATING THE BYPASS DAMPERS UNTIL THEY REACH THEIR MINIMUM SETTING 25%
    (ADJ) AT WHICH TIME THE FANS WILL BEGIN RAMPING UP TOWARDS THEIR MAXIMUM
    SPEED.

    SINGLE EXHAUST FAN FAILURE: IN THE EVENT ONE OF THE EXHAUST FANS FAIL,
    IMMEDIATELY START THE STANDBY EXHAUST FAN. THE STANDBY FAN WILL REMAIN
    ON AND BE RE-DESIGNATED AS THE NEW PRIMARY FAN. THE FAILED FAN SHALL
    MAINTAIN ITS ALARM CONDITION UNTIL A BAS RESET IS INITIATED TO BRING THE
    FAILED FAN OUT OF ITS ALARM CONDITION. NOTE: REGARDLESS OF STANDBY FAN
    ALARM STATE THE BAS SHALL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO START THE STANDBY FAN IN THE
    EVENT OF A LEAD FAN FAILURE.

    EXHAUST SYSTEM ROTATION SEQUENCE: UPON SIGNAL FROM THE BAS TO ROTATE
    THE EXHAUST FANS, EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE.

    1. WHILE THE CURRENT LEAD FANS ARE STILL ACTIVE, RUN THE FANS DOWN TO
    50% (ADJ).
    2. OVERRIDE THE EXHAUST BYPASS DAMPER TO 50%
    3. START THE NEW LEAD FAN
    4. STOP THE OLD LEAD FAN AND DESIGNATE IT AS THE NEW STANDBY FAN
    5. RELEASE FANS AND BYPASS DAMPER TO MAINTAIN STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT
    6. DELAY 10 SECODNS (ADJUSTABLE)
    7. INITIATE ROTATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH A BAS SCHEDULE OR BY MANUAL
    INITIATION.
