Automatic Climate Control Equation for Improved Heat Flux Response

A new automatic interior temperature control algorithm has been developed that comprehends the thermodynamic constraints for the interactions of the interior temperature and air flow with the outlet temperature. Thus, the heat flux is controlled directly.

By contrast, conventional algorithms utilize a proportional outlet temperature response to the interior temperature, ambient temperature and radiant load. This lack of attention to the air flow quantity has added unneeded complexity (and inaccuracy) to the task of control system calibration.
