WISE Water
WISE Water controls heating and cooling across multiple zones in a building by optimising the water temperature based on room needs, saving energy and enhancing comfort.
Main functionality
The WISE Water function connects a group of waterborne products (such as Parasol, Paragon, and Adriatic) to monitor and manage their cooling and heating demands. It calculates an average temperature setpoint based on all connected rooms and adapts to different building sections with varying cooling/heating needs. This ensures valves remain open as much as possible, optimizing water temperature to reduce energy consumption and increase comfort. The system supports flexible configurations and integrates seamlessly with SMART Link+ for advanced control.
Added Value
The WISE Water function strives to always have as small difference as possible between the room temperature and the inlet water temperature which gives many advantages:
- Reduced energy consumption by producing warmer (cooling) or colder (heating) water (2-3% / K)
- Set point water temperatures always defined by the demand
- Increased comfort with reduced risk of draft
- Reduced risk of condensation
- Easy set-up of one or multiple functional groups, include rooms, and define way of calculating the set temperature for the group
- Works perfectly in combination with Smart Link+
How it works
The flow chart above shows the schematics of the WISE Water function. A couple of things to consider:
- Each chilled beam (CB) calculates it´s needed water temperature based on the cooling/heating demand.
- In SuperWISE several groups with selected CB (north/south facade f.i.) can be created.
- SuperWISE calculates an average water temperature for each group based on its settings (highest, lowest, average etc.) and sends to each shunt group control their calculated temperature setpoint.
- SuperWISE compares the values in-between the groups and sends the value with the highest need to the CH/HP/MF. In this example with an offset of 1,5°C.
- If one climate beam in the group is equipped with RH sensor, dew point control is automatically activated, with this room as reference. If the group contains several beams with RH sensor, the value sets the water temperature.
Technical details
- SuperWISE collects demand temperature from all chilled beams in a group (multiple groups for both heating and cooling can be created in SuWi) and calculates an average need for each group
- SuWi sends the temperature from the group that has the highest need to the producer (heating and/or cooling) with possible offset (security)
- The chiller/heat pump produces the water temperature that is given until new value is sent from SuWi.
- Each shunt group controls the set temperature given by SuWi for its respective group
