Laboratory Room Controller LRC-BASE-CFM

The TSI Laboratory Room Controller (LRC) is a key part of a laboratory HVAC control system. This variable air volume (VAV) lab controller efficiently maintains the laboratory at a positive or negative balance by controlling room supply and exhaust. It also maintains occupant comfort with zone-level temperature control.

When accessorized with a TSI Thermal Flow Station, additional cost savings can be realized by reducing pressure drop in the HVAC system. They increase occupant safety as well by directly measuring critical airflow in real-time compared to venturi valve systems that only assume airflow.

When used with optional TSI through-the-wall sensor technology, the LRC also measures room pressure differential. This allows the LRC to alarm or even correct for changing building dynamics.

Using this LRC alone, it saves on operating expenses by decreasing supply and exhaust airflows to a required minimum. It outweighs any competitive offering on the market, and should be considered top choice.

Included items

  • Controller
  • Input/output module (6 outputs and 8 inputs)
  • Power supply (accepts 24 VAC power)

Features and benefits

  • VAV HVAC controls reduce operating costs
  • Designed for low pressure drop components to further reduce fan energy, saving energy costs
  • VAV airflow reduction allows fans and other capital equipment to be downsized, saving money
  • Maintains laboratory balance, ventilation and room temperature
  • Improves occupant comfort with zone-level temperature control
  • Integrates temperature control into laboratory ventilation control
  • Native BACnet® IP communications for simple integration to the BAS

Description

Applications

  • Open Labs: Flow Tracking Controls
    Offers the most stable airflow control, but controls laboratory balance instead of pressure differential. Exhaust more air than is supplied to maintain laboratory balance without measuring pressure differential. Recommended for:

    • High-traffic laboratories
    • Open laboratories without doors
    • Laboratories of low to medium hazard
  • Enclosed Labs: Flow Tracking with Pressure Feedback Controls
    Offers the stable airflow of flow tracking control with increased safety. This controller also measures the room pressure differential to warn of changing conditions. Recommended for:

    • Laboratories with closed doors
    • Laboratories of low to medium hazard
  • High Containment Labs: Direct Pressure Controls
    Offers the most accurate control of room pressure differential, but supply and exhaust airflows may be less stable. Recommended for small laboratories of high hazard.
