2. Explanation control functions
Please refer to the user's manual for an explanation of the basic principles of climate management.
This chapter describes the working of a number of specific control functions that the installer should set.
2.1 Ventilation
Ventilation is used to create the most pleasant climate possible in the house. Ventilation also extracts harmful
substances from the house and introduces fresh air into the house. There are two types of house ventilation.
Natural ventilation uses the pressure differences inside and outside the house to suck air into the house and extract
air from the house. This is generally done using curtains. The greatest advantage of naturalventilation compared to
mechanical ventilation is energy saving. The disadvantage is the dependency on the outside conditions (for
example, the wind). This means that creating the correct house climate using natural ventilation only is not always
possible. In such cases mechanical ventilation is used.
With mechanical ventilation, fans introduce air into the house and extract air. This means that you are less
dependent on the outside conditions than with natural ventilation. Several more fans are generally used with
mechanical ventilation. The fans used with specific ventilation percentages are indicated in the combi-table page 4.
The control computer supports both natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. The principle here is to control
the climate using natural ventilation and to only activate mechanical ventilation if necessary.
2.1.1 Controllable fans
Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer at a certain percentage. The control computer controls
the fans from, for example, 30% to 100%. This enables the control computer to increase ventilation precisely up to
the required level.
Figure 1: Example of a controllable fan controlled by the control computer
Controllable fans can be controlled by the control computer via the I/O-net or via an analog output (0–10V).
As well as the standard controllable fans, up to maximum three extra controllable fans can be controlled. The extra
controllable fans can be controlled directly (via an analog output or the I/O-net, value ‘A’ in the combi-table) or via a
relay (value ‘R’ in the combi-table).
All controllable fans are always controlled at the same percentage.

(R)

2.1.2 Extra fans
Extra fans can only be switched on or off via a relay. They are usually used when the controllable fans are running
at maximum or in combination with controllable fans to achieve a gradual increase in ventilation.
Figure 3: Example of an extra fan switched on and off from the control computer by a relay
2.1.3 Combi-table
The control computer determines the use of air inlets, extra inlets and fans based on the combi-table. Below is an
example of a combi-table. This may differ to your own combi-table, for example, because you use a different
number of extra fans. The combi-table shows the required values at successive positions (M1 thru M10 in the
example)

M10 100 100 A 1 1 1 1 1 40000 100 0 0
The combi-table also contains the ventilation capacity. This is used to determine the ventilation position if control is
based on ventilation capacity per hour per animal (m3/h/animal).
The required pressure in the combi-table is used to control the inlet based on the under pressure in the house. See
Optimisation based on pressure page 6.
Combi-table
The ventilation level is expressed as a percentage. Using this percentage the control computer can locate the
required level of control of the fan(s) in the combi-table.
Extra fans are shown in the combi-table as value ‘0’ (off) or ‘1’ (on).
The combi-table is sub-divided into positions (M1 thru M10 in the example). If the ventilation level is between two
positions, the control computer determines the middle point of these positions. The following rules apply:
•Controllable fans: the control computer gradually controls the ventilation position from one position to another
and also adjusts the air inlets and extra inlets.

Lumina 17 Explanation control functions

•Extra fans: with rising ventilation the control computer will only activate the fans when the next position has
been reached.With falling ventilation the control computer will onlydeactivate the fans when the lower position
has been reached.
Example: Taking ventilation positions from the combi-table
The required ventilation level on a certain day is 21%.
The control computer uses the settings at position M3:
•Controllable fans and the extra controllable fans: 25% activated.
•Contr./Extra fans: deactivated.
•One Exhaust relay fan activated.
•Air inlets: 21% open.
•Tunnel inlets: Do not use.
Example: Settings between two positions
The required ventilation level is 28%. This percentage is between positions M3 and M4. The control
computer uses the following settings:
•Controllable fans and the extra controllable fans: 62% activated.
•Contr./Extra fans: deactivated.
•One Exhaust relay fan activated.
•Air inlets: 28% open (midway between M3 and M4).
•Tunnel inlets: Do not use.
2.1.4 Modulating controlled controllable ventilation
Modulating control can be used to control the ventilation level in percentages of a cycle time. The control computer
activates/deactivates the fans according to a fixed pattern. This supplies fresh air in short repeated periods.
Modulating fans are shown in the combi-table by the letter M.
Example: Modulating ventilation
The required ventilation position of the fans: 21%
The control computer will control the fans onfor 50% of the set cycle time. The ventilation isoff for 50% of
the time.

Determining the ventilation position
The control computer determines the use of air inlets, extra inlets and fans based on the combi-table. The example
below shows a combi-table with modulating fans. The relay fans will do 20.000 m3 each.

M8 100 100 1 1 1 1 1 100000 100 0 0
The ventilation level is expressed as a percentage. The control computer uses this percentage to find the required
ventilation settings in the combi-table. The control computer determines the ventilation % between two positions,
and controls the modulating fans using this.
Example: Taking ventilation positions from the combi-table
Required ventilation level: 30%. This value is precisely between positions M3 and M4.
The control computer uses the following fans:
•Both fans are controlled on for 75% of the set cycle time (midway between M3 and M4). If the
ventilation level increases further, so will the modulation percentage.
•
Air inlet control depends on the settings. The control computer can open the air inlets 30% (midway
between positions M3 and M4). The inlet position can also be modulated between 21% and 39%.
2.1.5 Optimisation based on pressure
The controlcomputer controls ventilation with fans (exhaust) and air inlets. The control computer takes the positions
from the combi-table. The combination of exhaust and inlet positions creates a certain under pressure in the house.
The required under pressure is in the combi-table. The control computer can influence position of the air inlets and
accurately control the pressure. (Optimization).
2.1.6 Natural ventilation
Part of the ventilation demand can be met using natural ventilation. During natural ventilation the fans are off. The
outside wind provides the air flowthrough the house. The entire combi-table is deactivated in the natural ventilation
phase.
Outside the natural ventilation range, ventilation iscontrolled using the fans. The inlets are opened based
on the values in the combi-table.

Transition low ventilation → natural ventilation
At a rising temperature and when the combi start/stop LOW Natural is reached, the control computer switches to
natural ventilation. To prevent toggling the system must have been out of the natural phase for a certain time before
system returns to the natural phase again.
The control computer opens the curtain, then switches the fans off. The control computer controls how far the
curtains open based on the minimum natural inlet settings.
Transition natural ventilation → strong ventilation
If the temperature continues to rise the control computer switches over to mechanical ventilation when the air inletis
fully opened (curtain opened to maximum) and the temperature rises above combi start/stop HIGH Natural. The
inlets for natural ventilation (curtains) are closed, if required. The inlets for mechanical ventilation are opened based
on the values in the combi-table. The required fans are activated.
Transition strong ventilation → natural ventilation
With falling temperatures the control computer switches over to natural ventilation when thetemperature falls below
the position combi start/stop HIGH Natural. The curtains are opened to maximum position. Then the fans are
switched off. To prevent toggling the system must have been out of the natural phase for a certain time before
system returns to the natural phase again.
Transition natural ventilation → low ventilation
With falling temperatures the control computer switches over to low ventilation when the curtains are open minimum
and the temperature falls below combi start/stop LOW Natural. The inlets for natural ventilation (curtains) are
closed. The inlets for mechanical ventilation are opened and the required fans are activated according to the values
in the combi-table.
Minimum wait time
Enter a minimum wait time to prevent continuous switching between two ventilation types (yo-yo effect). If a
ventilation transition is required, the control computer will wait this time before making a new transition.
Controlling the air inlets during natural ventilation
The air inlets open or close when the temperature differs from Setpoint Natural.
If the temperature is higher than SN + Hysteresis, the inlets will open. If the temperature is lower than SN -
Hysteresis, the air inlets will close.
The extent of inlet control depends on the difference between measured temperature and Setpoint Natural. The
greater the difference, the longer the inlets will be opened or closed. Closing until the inlet position is equal to the
setting Minimum % (Natural). Opening until the inlet position is equal to the setting Maximum % (Natural).
Control speed Natural:
•Slow = 120 sec
•Moderate = 60 sec
•Fast = 30 sec
