CONTROLLING DEVICE AND METHOD
An air conditioning controlling device controlling the volume of a thermal medium that is supplied to an air conditioner through the degree of opening of a control valve, has a room temperature setting value obtaining portion obtaining a room temperature setting value for a controlled area; a supply air temperature measured value obtaining portion obtaining a measured value for a temperature of supply air that is supplied to the controlled area from the air conditioner; a supply air temperature changing portion changing the supply air temperature setting value in accordance with a change in the room temperature setting value; an operating quantity calculating portion calculating an operating quantity based on a deviation between the supply air temperature measured value and the supply air temperature setting value; and an operating quantity outputting portion outputting an operating quantity to a control valve to control the degree of opening of the control valve.
1 . A controlling device comprising:
a setting value obtaining device obtaining a setting value for control; and
a changing device changing temporarily a control output quantity in a direction that promotes tracking to a setting value through feed-forward control in accordance with a change in the setting value.
2 . The controlling device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
the setting value obtaining device obtains a controlled area room temperature setting value; and
the changing device changes temporarily a control output quantity for a controller controlling the temperature environment of a controlled area, in accordance with a change in the room temperature setting value.
3 . The controlling device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein:
the controller is at least one of an air conditioner or a heater; and
the control output quantity is a supply air temperature setting value in an air conditioner, a flow rate to the controlled area, a degree of opening of a control valve for controlling a quantity of a thermal medium that is supplied to at least one of an air conditioner, or a heater operating quantity.
4 . The controlling device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
the changing device changes the control output quantity only when a resident of the controlled area has changed the room temperature setting value.
5 . A controlling method comprising:
a setting value obtaining step obtaining a setting value for control; and
a changing step changing, temporarily, a control output quantity in a direction that promotes tracking to a setting value through feed-forward control in accordance with a change in the setting value.
6 . The controlling method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein:
the setting value obtaining step obtains a controlled area room temperature setting value; and
the changing step changes temporarily a control output quantity, for a controller controlling the temperature environment of a controlled area, in accordance with a change in the room temperature setting value.
7 . The controlling method as set forth in claim 6 , wherein:
the controller is at least one of an air conditioner or a heater; and
the control output quantity is a supply air temperature setting value in an air conditioner, a flow rate to the controlled area, a degree of opening of a control valve for controlling a quantity of a thermal medium that is supplied to at least one of an air conditioner, or a heater operating quantity.
8 . The controlling method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein:
the changing step changes the control output quantity only when a resident of the controlled area has changed the room temperature setting value.
