Roof Fan Controller and Its Algorithm for Ventilation Performance in Air Duct of Apartment

A roof fan controller for improving exhaust performance of an apartment house and a controlling method thereof are provided to minimize countercurrent in force ventilation and prevent a door opening problem while minimizing roof fan energy consumption. A hood or a bathroom fan of each household is connected with a common duct. The usage and a differential pressure between a pressure in a common duct at certain height of each household or a designated floor and an indoor pressure of the corresponding household are inputted to a control unit(10) through differential pressure sensors(S1-Sn). A roof fan(11) or combination of a roof fan and a variable damper controlled by the control unit is installed at the downstream of the common duct. A pressure is inputted to a controller(13) through a static sensor(12) installed at the upper stream of the roof fan or the roof fan having a variable damper. A hood flux of each household is calculated with the differential pressure so that a ventilation flux of all floor to the common duct becomes a positive value(Q(Zi)>0 for all i, Zi indicates hood installation height of each floor) not to generate a countercurrent by a difference between a pressure in the common duct and an indoor pressure even in floors which are not using hoods. It is controlled to minimize a least square sum of a designed flux of a hood exhaust flux of each household when hoods by households are used. RPM(Revolutions Per Minute) of the roof fan is fed back in real time by using a proportional relational expression RPM^n+1=RPM^n + ∂RPM/ ∂Qtot X (Q^*tot-Q^ntot) of a common exhaust total flux according to a static pressure and a roof fan RPM change of the upper stream of the roof fan or the roof fan having a variable damper.
