Adaptable HVAC; AC motor speed, air temperature and air quality control system
First Claim
1. - The present invention is a closed loop, dynamic, Opto Programmable (OP) HVAC Control and Management System (CS) using both apparatus and methods to Adaptively and continuously vary or alter the electric powered elements in and climate operations of an HVAC system or unit. It can detect, capture and accept a varied range and type of signals, parameters, functions and data that in turn are “
- Opto Converted, Programmed, Processed and then Outputted”
(ie also defined as/by “
OP”
) to control, manage and power one or more electric powered devices, climate functions or operations and/or other electric driven elements in one or more HVAC systems or units.

Abstract
A Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Management and Control System (CS) that provides “Closed Loop Adaptive Climate Control” of heating, cooling, ventilation or any combination thereof to an occupied space using standard AC electric induction motor(s) connected to a fan and other motor or electric powered devices. This new CS uses methods and apparatus based on Opto-Programming & Processing (OP) Analog techniques that allow multi-dimensional concurrent variables to continuously and Adaptively vary the quantity and/or rate of discharge air, return air, outside air (where available), discharge air temperature and thermal (heat/cool) fluid flow. This new CS adapts, adjusts, varies electric motor(s) and device(s), speeds and actions by concurrently adjusting motor voltage, frequency and phase as needed; to control fan output(s), associated damper actuators, valve actuators, or other unit devices. The new CS is capable of accepting or generating multiple inputs, outputs, or a combination of both from sensors, devices, motors and more in analog or digital format.
