ALFA VARIABLE AIR VOLUME CONTROL UNITS BYPASS TYPE

"ALFA variable Air Volume (VAV) Control Units are duct mounted pressure dependent bypass type unit, ideal
for low and medium pressure application. These units are suitable for both cooling and heating systems. The
temperature can be preset on the electronic analogue/digital thermostat, which senses the room
temperature and controls the VAV unit. The required quantity of air to each zone is pumped in to the area
based on load requirement and the balance air by passed through the bypass section of the VAV unit above
false ceiling or to return air ducts.

PRESSURE INDEPENDENT TYPE VAV

"Alfa Pressure independent VAV units are an innovative solution manufactured with the greatest precision and
latest manufacturing techniques at Astic Industries. Alfa pressure independent terminal units are designed to
control air volume flow rate for supply air on variable volume system. These units are designed to supply the air
flow rate of conditioned air into an occupied zone in response to control signal from a thermostat or building
management system. The components of the unit include an acoustically lined sheet metal box round inlet
damper, sensor and rectangular outlet. Alfa PI VAV are connected with Nepcross cross flow differential sensor
( Naptronic Make Canada) for measuring the air volume, which is located in the upstream section of the VAV
chamber .The sensing points collectively average the primary air velocity pressure across the entire inlet area.
These terminal units also incorporate control components, (VAV actuator, transformer), which are factory
fitted and inhouse calibrated to ensure meet all design criteria . This enable the terminal to monitor desired air
flow rate as indicated by the thermostat or input signal of 0-10V and compensate instantly for any changes in
supply air pressure that might tend to alter the supply air volume - resulted as pressure independent variable
air volume system.

Features And Benefits

“Nepcross” Cross Flow Sensor

Nepcross has been developed in order to give Independent Box Manufactures
the ability to participate in the lucrative VAV pressure independent market.
Now,the independent box manufactures have the choice to use the Nepcross
with different VAV controllers or use the Nepcross with Neptronic Pressure
Independent controllers.
The Neptronic Pressure Independent Controllers (and corresponding
thermostats) are available in free standing mode EVC or BAC net configuration
mode EVCB.

Nepcross Design Achieves Two Major Objectives

1. Amplify sufficiently for the differential pressure signal.
2. Minimize the white noise associated with the signal
amplification.
This has been accomplished by Nepcross’s unique circular
static pressure amplification probe and the geometry of the
total pressure radial probes.
The static pressure amplification circular probe collects the
pressure signal from strategically located pressure ports along
its outer diameter
The average static pressure signal (ASSP)is sent to the Low port
of the electronic transducer. The ASAP is responsible for the
amplification of the resulting Velocity Pressure Signal.
The Neptronic VAV controllers have tailored curves also in the
lower velocities which are more representative of the actual
velocities rather than based on one point calibration and
theoretical assumptions. That feature makes the total
Neptronic assembly a perfect solution for modern VAV
application

VAV Single Duct Controller & Actuator

www.neptronic.com
The VAV package consists of 2 parts, namely the thermostat and the EVC
which is a combination of an actuator and a controller which mounts
directly to the damper jackshaft on the side of the VAV box.
The EVC is available in two versions:a BTL listed BAC net application specific
version (EVCB) or a stand-alone version (EVC).
