ADAPTIVEFUNCTION PLUS
The new AdaptiveFunction Plus adaptive regulation has been
exclusively patented by
RHOSS
partnership with the University of Padua. The various algorithm
development operations were implemented and validated on units in the
Compact-Y range in the
RHOSS
Laboratory using numerous test campaigns.
Objectives
To guarantee optimal unit operation in the system in which it is
installed. Evolved adaptive logic.
To obtain the best performance from a chiller in terms of energy
efficiency at full and partial capacities. Low consumption chiller.
Operating logic
In general, the actual control logics on water chillers/heat pumps do not
consider the characteristics of the system in which the units are
installed; they usually regulate the return water temperature and are
positioned so as to ensure the operation of the chillers, giving less
priority to the system requirements.
The new AdaptiveFunction Plus adaptive logic counters these logics
with the objective of optimising the chiller operation on the basis of the
system characteristics and the effective thermal load. The controller
regulates the delivery water temperature and adjusts itself, as and when
required, to the relative operating conditions using:
the information contained in the return and delivery water
temperature to estimate the working conditions thanks to a certain
mathematical formula;
a special adaptive algorithm that uses this estimate to vary the
values and the start-up and switch-off limit values of the compressors;
the optimised compressor start-up management guarantees a precision
water supply to the user, reducing the fluctuation around the set-point
value.

Main functions
Efficiency or Precision
Thanks to the evolved control, it is possible to run the chiller on two
different regulation settings to obtain the best possible performance in
terms of energy efficiency and considerable seasonal savings, or high
water delivery temperature precision:
1. Low consumption chiller: Economy" option
It is well known that chillers work at full capacity for just a very small
percentage of their operating time, while they work at partial capacity
for most of the season. Therefore, the power they need to supply
generally differs from the nominal design power, and operation at
partial capacity has a noticeable effect on seasonal energy
performance and consumption.
This makes it necessary to run the unit so that it is as efficient as
possible at partial capacity. The controller therefore ensures that the
water delivery temperature is as high as possible (when operating as
a chiller) or as low as possible (when operating as a heat pump)
whilst compatible with the thermal loads, meaning that it is on a
sliding scale, unlike in traditional systems. This prevents energy
wastage linked to the maintenance of pointlessly onerous
temperature levels for the chiller, ensuring that the ratio between the
power to be supplied and the energy to be used to produce it is
always at an optimum level. Finally the right level of comfort is
available to everyone!
Summer season: a unit that operates with a sliding set-point enables
seasonal energy savings of around 8% compared to a traditional unit
that operates with a fixed set-point.

Winter season: a unit that operates with a sliding set-point enables
seasonal energy savings of around 13% compared to a traditional unit
that operates with a fixed set-point. Calculations carried out
demonstrate that seasonal consumption is equivalent to that of a
CLASS A machine.
