    摘要: A feedforward-feedback controller for integrated temperature and pressure control of a building space includes one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits are configured to generate a supply air flow rate setpoint using a combined feedforward-feedback control process that (i) proactively compensates for a feedforward air flow disturbance in the building space and (ii) reactively compensates for a feedback air pressure error in the building space, generate a supply air temperature setpoint using a predictive temperature model that predicts the supply air temperature setpoint required to achieve a zone temperature setpoint for the building space when supply air is provided to the building space at the supply air flow rate setpoint and the supply air temperature setpoint, and operate building equipment to provide the supply air to the building space at the supply air flow rate setpoint and the supply air temperature setpoint.

    摘要: A heat exchanger (e.g., a furnace) for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a condensate pan having a first opening defined in a surface of the condensate pan. The condensate pan is configured to receive liquid condensate via the first opening, and the first opening comprises a first cross-sectional area. The furnace further includes a pocket comprising a wall circumscribing and defining a second opening. The second opening has a second cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area of the first opening of the condensate pan. The pocket is configured to be coupled to the surface of the condensate pan such that the wall of the pocket surrounds the first opening in the surface of the condensate pan.
