Abstract :
Introduces a novel type of optimal control method for fan-coil unit named DRFCM, which adopts conception of duty ratio on water valve control. DRFCM uses Mamdani type fuzzy rule and method of functioning-fuzzy-subset inference to control duty ratio of valve and fan speed level. It is shown from experimental application that DRFCM could achieve at least 30% energy saving than conventional fan-coil unit control method and could achieve better room temperature control effect.
