The challenge

ROeR's new treatment center consists of many building parts. Hence a lot of cabling per building section would also be needed. Terberg Totaal Installaties, responsible for the HVAC systems in this project, pursued a solution to reduce the amount of cabling for the control technology with minimal risk of failure costs. The desire was to pull only one cable instead of multiple cables per room. Terberg was also looking for a solution to control the underfloor heating and cooling per building section as efficiently as possible.

The solution with NovoCon® Energy

Thanks to the use of the NovoCon® Energy and the pluggable daisy chain cabling with BACnet MS/TP bus communication, it was possible to minimize the amount of cables. An additional advantage is the integrated I/O of the NovoCon® Energy. This NovoCon® Energy controls the underfloor heating and cooling per building section. This makes optimal use of the available functionalities and minimizes risks.

The result

By applying the NovoCon® and the pluggable daisy chain solution, it was possible to save 10% on the amount of cabling. In addition, the risk of failure costs due to installation errors could be reduced. As an additional benefit of this application, Terberg was able to apply the internal control of the NovoCon® Energy into their HVAC control approach. This is an advantage in the final control setup that will be delivered to the client, but also for providing the building heat during the construction and installation phase.

    AB-QM 4.0 Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs) are the successor of Danfoss AB-QM. They offer best-in-class specifications and easy installation. The scaling- and clogging resistant design secures and outstanding reliability and long lifetime. The required design flow can easily be established by turning the setting wheel on top of the valve to a presetting between 10-100% of the nominal flow. A wide variety of on/off, modulating and digital actuators is available to accurately control the flow through the valves.
