Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that includes a heat exchanger configured to circulate a working fluid therethrough, a valve configured to regulate a flow rate of the working fluid through the heat exchanger, and a valve controller configured to modify a valve position control signal received from an external controller, separate from the valve controller, based on a temperature differential of the working fluid entering and exiting the heat exchanger.

Claim (Index 10):
The HVAC system of  claim 9 , comprising an additional heat exchanger configured to receive the working fluid from the chiller and circulate the working fluid through the additional heat exchanger, wherein the valve controller is configured to detect a leak in the HVAC system based on the temperature differential, the temperature of the working fluid flowing from the common heat exchanger to the heat exchanger, the temperature of the working fluid flowing from the heat exchanger to the common heat exchanger, an additional temperature differential of the working fluid entering and exiting the additional heat exchanger, a temperature of the working fluid flowing from the common heat exchanger to the additional heat exchanger, a temperature of the working fluid flowing from the additional heat exchanger to the common heat exchanger, or a combination thereof.
