Another example, master controller can be provided to thermal management unit controller show spatial content value is less than threshold capacity the
One instruction.Thermal management unit controller can regulate and control central thermal management unit based on indicating from master controller received first
Operation is to adjust the temperature of working fluid (for example, increasing the temperature of working fluid when under refrigerating mode, when in heating
The temperature etc. of working fluid is reduced when under mode).The multiple zone controller may be configured to the temperature to working fluid
Variation recognized, identified, being determined, and increase one or more of FBTU associated there output (for example,
Revolving speed, opening size of valve of fan etc.) to maintain the expectation setting value in region associated there.
As an example, if spatial content value is less than threshold capacity and heat management system just provides cooling in space
Operate (for example, air conditioning mode is activated), then central thermal management unit can be controlled to increase thus be provided to it is described more
The working fluid (for example, water etc.) of a FBTU temperature (for example, central thermal management unit to working fluid execute less cooling with
Reduce load etc. thereon), and FBTU can be controlled to increase fan speed and/or the valve position of each of FBTU
Set (for example, so that FBTU is using its more multicapacity and reduces the load etc. on central thermal management unit).
As another example, if spatial content value is less than threshold capacity and heat management system just mentions in space
For heating operation (for example, heating mode is activated), then central thermal management unit can be controlled to reduce and thus be provided to
The temperature of the working fluid (for example, water etc.) of the multiple FBTU is (for example, central thermal management unit is less to working fluid execution
Heating is to reduce load etc. thereon), and FBTU can be controlled to increase the fan speed of each of FBTU and/
Or valve location (for example, so that FBTU is using its more multicapacity and reduces the load etc. on central thermal management unit).
At step 714, master controller, the multiple zone controller, and/or thermal management unit controller are in response to institute
State at least one of multiple FBTU capacity be more than maximum operation threshold (for example, at least one of FBTU with it most
85%, 90%, 95%, 99% etc. operating point of large capacity is run) and regulate and control central thermal management unit and the multiple
The operating point of FBTU.By example, master controller can be more than maximum in response to the operation setting value of at least one of FBTU
Operation threshold and to thermal management unit controller provide second instruction so that the adjustable workflow of thermal management unit controller
