A flow control device () for an HVAC fluid transportation system comprises a flow tube () formed in one piece, a flow measurement system () integrated with the flow tube () and configured to measure a volumetric flow of fluid (&#x3d5;) through the flow tube (), and an electronic circuit () arranged in a fixed fashion on the flow tube () and connected electrically to the flow measurement system (). The flow control device () further comprises a control signal output terminal () attached to the flow tube () and connected to the electronic circuit (). The electronic circuit () is configured to generate and apply on the control signal output terminal () an actuator control signal, using the volumetric flow of fluid (&#x3d5;) measured by the flow measurement system (), for an actuator actuating a valve of the HVAC fluid transportation system () arranged outside the flow tube () of the flow control device ().

Flow control device for an HVAC fluid transportation system

HVAC system for a building with a control, including a model containing representations of HVAC devices and control devices, assignments between the representations of HVAC devices and control devices, and representations of fluid control devices and sensor devices. A configuring section can: cause one of several fluid control devices to vary a fluid control parameter; determine a variation of a sensor parameter at one of several sensor devices caused by variation of the fluid control parameter; compare the determined sensor device with the model to detect the representation of sensor device(s) corresponding to the sensor device determined; assign the sensor device determined to one of the control devices corresponding to a representation of control devices assigned to the representation of the sensor device corresponding to the sensor device determined and/or assigned to the representation of the fluid control device for which the fluid control parameter has been varied.
