FKKT in FRI

Chemical laboratories in FKKT use hazardous media and chemicals that require careful management to prevent harmful leaks. Automation systems must maintain negative pressure to control leaks and ensure safety. If anomalies occur, the system must act swiftly to secure the space, and it should also prevent the flow of natural gas in poorly ventilated areas or increase ventilation if needed.

These challenges necessitated a complex Central Control System (CCS) for energy systems and devices, which was implemented by Metronik.

Metronik’s CCS integrates and manages all systems related to energy consumption, including boilers, cooling, heating, air conditioning, lighting and shading. Flexibility and energy efficiency are ensured by using proven controllers for heating/cooling and other key systems.

Glede na zahtevnost in namen posameznih energetskih sistemov smo pri izvedbi projekta na posameznih nivojih uporabili različne rešitve. Za toplotne in hladilne postaje, pripravo sanitarne tople vode in klimatske naprave so uporabljeni preizkušeni krmilniki, ki omogočajo veliko prilagodljivost pri razvoju, hkrati pa zagotavljajo zanesljivo in učinkovito obratovanje in pripravo energetskih medijev za zgradbe.

The Honeywell Lynx programmable controller with Bacnet communication was chosen for room regulation due to its adaptability. Room control is completed with lighting control, allowing local settings and integration into the CCS system.

The CCS also incorporates SCADA-based iFIX software, which coordinates subsystems like external blind positioning relative to sunlight. Ethernet and serial subnetworks provide the communication backbone.

MePIS Energy, an extension of the CNS, monitors and optimizes energy consumption and costs.

The system ensures efficient monitoring and energy-saving management of all energy systems across both faculties.

The CCS also guarantees reliable and user-friendly room controls, while dynamic connections to the access control system ensure high energy efficiency, only maintaining comfort settings when rooms are in use. The system offers easy management of spaces and devices, contributing to optimal operations.
