The basic idea of the pattern matching method is to locate periods of operation from a historical data set whose operational conditions are similar to the target operating condition.

The proposed Pattern Matching-PCA method uses two similarity factors, PCA similarity factors and Distance similarity factors, to characterize the degree of similarity between historical data window and current snapshot data. PCA model is then built using the historical AHU operation dataset that are identified to be similar to current snapshot operation data. The method is validated by operational data of an AHU system in real building. The results show that the sensibility of PCA models is enhanced by preprocessing the training data with the Pattern Matching method.

Featuring universal interfaces with a wide range of cooling capacities (4.6kW to 27.0kW), these air handling unit applications are controlled with a standard Toshiba air conditioning remote controller – available separately – set by DN code adjustment during the installation.

Easy to install, relay isolated inputs prevent accidental wiring errors which may damage the PCB. Operation output, AC Fan Motor output, alarm output, external ON/OFF input, safety cut out input. Allows connection of 3rd party AHU to all Toshiba light commercial outdoor units using locally supplied DX coil Controlled via a standard Toshiba remote controller not included (RBC-AMT32E) No additional expansion valves or mechanical equipment required Bespoke easy to use control set up VRF Air Handling Unit Applications Enables connection of 3rd party air handling units (with DX coil) to Toshiba VRF outdoor units. Allows connection of 3rd party AHU to all Toshiba VRF products – MiNi-SMMS, SMMS, SMMSi and SHRMi using locally supplied DX coil Safety cut out input to detect fan failurePackaged compact supply air handling units for applications needing automatic supply tempered air ventilation with integrated controls. Choice of LPHW, electric and DX.

Ideal for roof mounting, plant room or ceiling void applications. Very quiet – 25mm double skinned panels provide better acoustic and thermal properties over conventional AHU’s. Reduce installation time – all components are pre-assembled, wired and tested before despatch. prices for outside air conditioning unitsUnits are delivered in sections where applicable.ac units not in window Simple precise commissioning – minimum and maximum ventilation rates precisely set and limited at AHU requiring no throttling dampers.best air conditioning units reviews Energy efficient controls – all models have Ecosmart controls built in (non control options available) providing the most energy efficient and cost effective solution.

Part L and energy efficient – motors are IE2 to BS 5000 direct drive and high efficient belt drive. Long lasting – manufactured from highly rigid pentapost design framework with heavy gauge aluzinc panels proving a corrosive resistant shell. 5 year warranty – for peace of mind. No control options have a 2 year warranty Air handling unit shall consist of fan, G4 filter and electric heater battery, DX or LPHW. Air handling unit shall be constructed with double skinned aluzinc panels on an aluminium Pentapost frame. Air handling unit shall incorporate full Ecosmart control package and constant pressure control. Units will be supplied in modular sections for on-site assembly by the installer; this will also necessitate completion of the wiring between modules. The fan unit will have a 5 year warranty.
