1. AHU Chilled Water Valve PID Tuning

Direct Digital Control (DDC) loops for Air Handling Unit discharge air temperature frequently hunt due to over-aggressive proportional gain.

Discrete PID Algorithm: u(t) = K_p * e(t) + K_i * ∫ e(t) dt + K_d * (de/dt)
For AHU chilled water modulating valves, recommended baseline values: K_p = 2.5–4.0, Integral Reset Time T_i = 120–180 seconds, Derivative Gain K_d = 0.
