Abstract

An HVAC system includes a first indoor heat exchanger coupled to an outdoor heat exchanger and disposed in a first zone. A second indoor heat exchanger is coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger and disposed in a second zone. A compressor is coupled to the outdoor heat exchanger, the first indoor heat exchanger, and the second indoor heat exchanger. A first circulation fan is positioned to circulate air around the first indoor heat exchanger and a second circulation fan is positioned to circulate air around the second indoor heat exchanger. A zone controller is coupled to the first indoor heat exchanger and configured to measure a temperature in the first zone, compare the measured temperature to a setpoint temperature of the first zone, and responsive to a difference between the measured temperature and the setpoint temperature, adjust a speed of the first circulation fan independent the second circulation fan.
