Overview

Fan Filter Control Unit (FCU102) is a compact, TRIAC based fan & motor control designed for applications like clean room pressurization, ceiling fans, exhaust ventilators, pumps, duct fans & blowers.  Also it provides a cost effective way to have a intelligent and networkable system. Benefits of using FCU102 include acoustical noise reduction, environmental (pressure or flow) regulation, greater system reliability, increased fan life, improved safety and energy savings.

Finanical Benefit

For operation owners of minienvironments within large cleanrooms or small installations (100 FFUs or less) which dominate the market need (over 90% of all installations), whatever if they want centralized control at a reasonable cost, or require frequent adjustment of flow rates, or just for energy conservation sakes, it would be a wise choice to consider FCU102. The savings in set up time, callibration efforts and electricity consumption will offset most of cost of this system over manual control with signficantly quieter performance. Usually the investment would be returned in only 3 to 6 months!

Ease of Installation/Balancing

For small AC systems, a customer can save 50% of the installation and balancing time to hook up. At rates of $75 to $100 per hour for installation and balancing cost, the savings can be significant.

Electricity Saving & Set-Back Results

Consider a cost analysis of an AC system using 2 x 4 ft. FFUs typically running 250 watts at full speed. A small cleanroom was operated typically 10 hours per day, 5 days per week. A setback to 110 watts (500 RPM from 1100 RPM) was requested. Calculating the savings at a cost of $0.22 per kwh, system savings exceed $150/year. Without any other savings, the payback for controller was approximately ONE month. A good rule of thumb is for every 50 watts of power one can set-back and save, one can reduce electric consumption by more than $50.00 per year ($1/year/watt saved upon set-back).

When one includes lower installation and balancing costs, ease of reducing full speed flow to optimize the cleanroom application, and the cost saving on the filter media by extending its useful life, it is estimated that a payback of less than 3 months is realistic. Along with the lower fan noise and the flexibility to adjust and reconfigure cleanroom space, the system is now very cost effective.

System

System components include:

  • Ethernet to RS485 Serial Server (Model: 32104 / 32108) - Supports up to 30 individual FFCUs (60 units FFUs) each port, and total 120/240 individual FFCUs (240/480 units FFUs) for a subnet with 32104/32108. Only one Serial Server would be good for typical . For large installations, applying with 32 units 32108 Serial Servers, the total FFU capability would be 32*8*30*2=15,360 units

  • Handheld Terminal (Model: HC7001) - Provides great conveniences to operators, maintain technicans and managements monior or configure system or individual FFU anytime or anywhere. Mobile applications, diverse platforms available - iPhone 4S, iPad2, Blackberry, HP PDA, etc. Contact us if you need it on your new mobile phone...

System or Software highlights:

  • Low cost, low effort for commissioning or maintain

  • Remote maintenance and configuration via Ethernet even Internet connection

  • Convenient time scheduler for automated FFU control (speed-up or speed-down of single FFUs or groups)

  • Floor-plan layout and local control templates available and easy to use

  • Registration of each FFU run time for preventive filter maintenance

  • Event logging (status- and change logfile) for post moterm analysis

  • Easy to be integrated with DC motor control systems
