- a control device for switching the compressor on and off at certain times.
- this control device can essentially only contain one thermostat and one relay or, in more sophisticated systems, multiple relays or, more recently, programmable microcomputers. Regardless of the complexity of the system, however, electromagnetic or electronic relays or semiconductor switches are used to switch the power supply from the power supply to the compressor on and off.
- Another variant of such a safety device uses an interruption switch which interrupts all current paths of the compressor motor as soon as very high pressures, temperatures or currents occur. While this type of device is effective, it is very expensive, increasing the overall cost of the system in which it is used.
- the invention relates to a method for monitoring a heating and cooling system with a compressor and a changeover valve, certain system parameters being monitored during normal operation of the system in order to be able to determine the conditions for switching off the compressor.
- the compressor is monitored to determine whether it has not yet switched off when these conditions occur, which suggests a contact welding error and initiates a safety operating mode if such a contact welding error is present.

- the indoor coil 32 is provided with a fan or blower 34 which directs the air through the heat exchanger 32 and over its coils, thereby causing a sufficient heat exchange between the water and the air and conditioning the interior.
- the water circuit side of the heat exchanger HX-2 contains a pump P2, which connects to this and leads the supplied water via the water circuit side of the heat exchanger HX-2 into the lowest area of an associated hot water storage tank S2.
- the other side of the water coil of the heat exchanger HX-2 is connected to an ordinary water line connection and a line 36 which leads to the bottom of the tank S2.

- the tanks S1 and S2 also have, as shown schematically in FIG. 1, resistance heating elements 40, 42, so that, under appropriate conditions, additional energy can be supplied to the system in order to heat the water in one or both tanks.
- the heating element 40 preferably has two heating elements connected in parallel.
- the heat exchanger HX-2 is arranged at the outlet or the pressure side of the compressor 24, so that it can be supplied at any time with the cooling medium brought to a higher temperature in order to close the water in the tank S2 during the heating or cooling mode heat or, if desired, heat or cool when the system is out of operation.
- the containers S1 and S2 are preferably 120 gallons of hot water tanks, the container S1 being provided with two 4.5 kW heating elements and the container S2 being provided with a 4.5 kW heating element.
- the control software of this system controls the compressor, pumps and fans so that the storage tank is brought to the desired temperature outside of the peak power consumption times, ie the liquid contained therein is heated or cooled depending on the position of a switch on the control console 44 this allows the system to use the memory to heat or cool the environment during peak periods, minimizing the compressor on time during these peak periods.
- the software can, for example be contained in a device controller 45, which are connected to the various elements of the system, including the control console 44 and a plurality of temperature sensors, which are shown in FIG. 1 by circled capital letters. These sensors are of great importance for the various control mechanisms made possible by the system.

- An I / O address, decode and monitor unit 64 also receives address, data and microprocessor control input signals and provides data and I / O control signals.
- the system signal inputs are connected to sensors that indicate the energy supplied to the space conditioned by the system, as well as to temperature sensors A, B, C, D, F, G, and H that measure the temperature at different locations in the system. These sensors are described in somewhat more detail in connection with Figures 1 and 5 of U.S. Patent 4,645,908.
- the energy is measured by means of current sensors 88 and 89 and voltage measuring transformers 103 and 104, which are coupled to the main supply lines, for example from the main supply switchboard 66, which are connected to the supply and the main measuring instrument 68, which measures the energy supplied to the arrangement for billing purposes , connected is.
- a signal 69 from this measuring instrument indicates when the measured values are high during an "on peak" interval.
- signal conditioning circuitry 70 which converts the signals into a desired, analog form (except for the main meter signal, which is digital) and adjusts them to an appropriate amplitude.
- the outputs of the signal conditioning circuit 70 are fed to an analog multiplexer circuit 72, the signal outputs of which lead to an analog / digital converter circuit 74.

- various measuring devices and valves including the outside air fan 11, the four-way switch valve 20, the compressor 24, the indoor fan 34, the heating elements 40 and 42, and the pumps P1 and P2 . They control both the digital interface and the optical isolation (e.g. optocoupler), the relay coil drive and the power control relay.
- control output unit 80 and the program memory 60, which interact with the microprocessor subsystem 50 and the universal control logic unit 76.
- the control output unit 80 contains the electronic - or other relays which control the KomPressor and therefore contain the "contacts", be they semiconductors or others, which must be monitored by the program. Likewise, sensors B, C and G are monitored as mentioned above.
- the microprocessor subsystem which contains the microprocessor and the microcontroller, ROM, RAM, system clock and the time circuit, the interrupt controller, the system control circuit, and the address data and control buffers carry out the current process, with the program in the program storage unit 60 is stored.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 show a simplified flowchart of a program for executing the method, which determines whether a safety mode should be initialized, thereby indicating the existence of a contact welding error.
- switching to safety mode means that normal operating conditions are disregarded and the system is controlled in such a way that the conditions causing this safety mode can be taken into account.
- the procedure is explained in more detail using a program written in the C programming language and the printout of which is given in Appendix I.
- the method consists in monitoring certain parameters of the system during operation in order to be able to determine whether conditions occur which indicate the occurrence of a contact weld. For this purpose, three temperatures are measured, which serve to determine whether such a system condition exists. If the temperatures are as expected under normal operating conditions, no safety measure is taken. If, on the other hand, conditions are determined which should not occur, a safety mode for "saving the compressor" is initialized.
- the conditions for switching between normal operation and safety mode are briefly outlined below.
- the individual modules which are part of the control software for the system in FIG. 1, are arranged in such a way that their function NEN are essentially independent of each other.
- Each module fulfills its own task and generates a corresponding output after a certain time, ie periodically. Regardless of whether this output is required or is ignored, the module performs its function again in the following period.
- the output can consist of a calculation result that is used in other modules or a trigger signal for a specific action. This action can consist, for example, of activating a hardware element or triggering security mode.
- the modules do not send an execution command themselves, but only report a corresponding request signal. It is quite possible that several modules want to activate a certain element of the device at the same time. In addition, it can e.g. it can happen that two modules send contradicting signals at the same time, which can have different reasons. For example, it is possible for one module to determine an internal temperature, which should actually result in the compressor being switched on so that it cools the room, but another module for determining that the room can be adequately cooled from the storage tank S1 using cold water and the compressor should not be switched on because a high electricity tariff applies at this time of day.
- REDUCTION determines and filters out the one to be taken into account in the case of a plurality of signals.
- a switch-off signal usually has higher priority than a switch-on signal and request signals for activating the safety mode are taken into account first, since they indicate potential dangerous situations.
- SEQUENCER The module receives the filtered output signal of the REDUCTION module and sends the current signal, which switches the corresponding hardware elements on or off, according to a defined priority order. Since the present program ensures that the safety mode is switched on when the corresponding conditions occur, its output is recognized by the REDUCTION and SEQUENCER module and processed within the same or the following period in such a way that the safety mode is switched over.
- the three temperatures to be measured already mentioned above i.e.
- the initial temperature at the compressor (t_dis), the external ambient temperature (t_amb) and the temperature of the liquid coolant in the outside air coil (t_liq) are identified with capital letters, for example as TLIQ, TDIS, TAMB, if they are to cause changes in the system .
- the calculation or measurement period is e.g. Four seconds and the various system temperatures are accordingly fed to these modules on a regular basis.
- various values such as the upper and lower values of t_liq of the last 16 periods and the average temperature TLIQ are calculated and / or saved.
- the occurrence of certain events or certain signals is recorded and logged, e.g. switching the compressor on and off or changing the status of the changeover valve.
- the first step is to determine whether the time period since the start of the overall system is less than 8 seconds (A *). If this is the case, this indicates that the system is in the special state of the start phase. It can be done that no contact welds occur and that no safety precautions need to be taken (B).
- the software is aligned with regard to three different time phases. During normal operation, the cycles last approximately 4 seconds each. During the start-up, two different types of phases can be distinguished, which are also treated differently. The first, which lasts approximately 4 to 8 seconds, is called phase 1 and is followed by the so-called initialization phases. A sequence of such initialization phases follows this phase 1 for a period of approximately five minutes during which additional further system initialization procedures take place. If it is determined that the system is in an initialization phase (E1) and less than 12 seconds (E2) have passed since the restart, it is necessary to determine some initialization values for the execution of the program.
- E1 initialization phase
- E2 12 seconds
- the output temperature of the compressor is set equal to the current output temperature and t_liq to the current liquid temperature (F).
- pumps P1 and P2 are switched on by means of request signals from the system and the switchover valve is deactivated, so that the valve is switched to heating or cooling mode.
- the switch valve mode will open Zero and the timeout flag set to zero.
- the time-out flag is used to check the time to ensure that the system has not overlooked or passed over any dangerous situation. An interval of 10 minutes after switching off the compressor is decisive. If the initial temperature is less than 110 ° F after this interval, it can be assumed that something has been overlooked. This will be determined at a later date.
- a safety flag is set.
- a set of conditions that enable this flag assumes the system is in cooling mode (G1-G6).
- the program checks whether TDIS is greater than 140 ° F (all temperatures are given here in Fahrenheit); whether TDIS is at least as high as the measured start temperature t_dis minus 10 °; whether TLIQ is at least 20 ° lower than the ambient temperature and also at least as high as the start temperature t_dis minus 10 °; and whether the ambient temperature is above 50 °. If all of these conditions are met, a flag is set (I) as this indicates a serious danger to the compressor.
- the system is in heating mode (H1-H6); is TDIS greater than 140 ° and greater than t_dis at start-up minus 10 °; and if TLIQ is at an ambient temperature of 50 ° or less, less than 15 ° below the ambient temperature and less than 5 ° below t_liq when starting up, the compressor is at risk and the safety flag is set (I, J *, K , L).
- the program then checks the conditions in order to delete registers that still contain switch-on or switch-off data. If more than 4 minutes have passed since the start-up and TDIS is less than 130 ° (M1, M2, M3), the compressor is either not connected or there is not enough coolant in the system. In both cases, it is not necessary to set a safety flag, so that both the register for the switch-on signal and the register for the switch-off signal intended to avoid contact welding errors are set to zero (Qa, Qb).
- a crisis entry flag is set to TRUE and the safety mode is switched on depending on the position of the switch on the HOC 44 control panel protect the compressor in both heating and cooling modes (R, S *, T, U).
- the program sets a request signal for switching on the pump P1 if the system is in the normal operating phase, has been switched on for more than 7 minutes and 4 seconds and if the compressor is switched on (V *, W). If less than 5 minutes have passed since the last request signal for a status change of the compressor or the changeover valve, the upper and lower liquid temperature are stored in the system according to the temperature TLIQ at this time (X *, Y *, Za, Zb). If the cooling mode is set on the HOC control console or if there is a request signal for switching off the cooling mode (AA1, AA2, BB1, BB2), the program delivers a request signal for switching on the changeover valve (CC). If the stored upper liquid temperature is below the current value of TLIQ, the upper temperature t_liq is set to this current value (DD *, EE).
- the changeover valve is set to cooling accordingly (FF *, GG).
- the upper temperature TLIQ is set to the calculated average temperature TLIQ (HH *, II). In other words, the former is reset every 15 minutes during the operation of the compressor.
- the cooling switch since it is possible that the cooling switch is switched so that the changeover valve is in heating mode, it should be switched to defrost (JJ, KK). Otherwise the changeover valve must be switched off. Logic must be used here to ensure that any data bit that would require the switching valve to be switched off is deleted. The corresponding data word requiring switching off is therefore masked in order to remove this bit.
- the lower temperature t_liq is set to TLIQ (MM *, NN).
- the changeover valve is switched to recuperation mode (OO *, PP). Otherwise, the program branches to heating or "valve off” mode as standard and the changeover valve mode is set to "heating" (QQ). If more than 30 minutes have passed since the last change of the valve position and the compressor was switched on for a time period that corresponds to an integer multiple of 15 minutes, the lower value of t_liq is set to the average value TLIQ (RR1, RR2, SS ).
- the compressor To go to the next program section, the compressor must be switched off, i.e. it must have received a switch-off signal generated by the SEQUENCER (i.e. the FALSE output value of V *).
- the routine checks when the compressor has been switched off. If the time period since switching off is less than two time periods, the time barrier flag is deleted (false) and the temperature t_dis is estimated at the current value of TDIS, or assumed at this value (TT *, UU).
- the changeover valve is in heating mode (WW *)
- the compressor output temperature is higher than the temperature t_dis at the time of switching off minus 10 ° and if TLIQ is more than 5 ° below the lower temperature t_liq
- the contact welding safety mode is switched on and the crisis entry flag is set to TRUE (XX1, XX2, YY). If the output temperature has dropped by 10 ° or more and if the liquid temperature is higher than the lower temperature t_liq, the safety mode is not switched on (ZZ1, ZZ2, AAA).
- the contact welding safety mode is switched on and the crisis entry flag is set to TRUE if the changeover valve is in cooling mode (BBB *), the compressor outlet temperature is above the temperature t_dis at the time of switching off minus 10 ° and if TLIQ is at least 5 ° lies above the higher temperature t_liq (CC1, CC2, DDO). If the output temperature has dropped by 10 ° or more and if the liquid temperature is below the upper temperature t_liq, no safety mode is set (EE1, EE2, FFF).
- the changeover valve is in defrost mode (GGG *)
- the compressor outlet temperature is 2 ° or more above the temperature t_dis when switched off
- the liquid temperature is 10 ° or more above the stored value of the upper temperature t_liq and if t_liq is greater than Is 45 °
- the safety mode is switched on (HHH1-3, III). If the output temperature is at least 20 ° below the switch-off temperature, no safety mode is set (YYY *, KKK).
- TDIS is above the switch-off temperature minus 10 °
- TLIQ is more than 15 ° below the stored lower temperature and has been more than 5 minutes since the compressor status changed
- the security mode is set (MMM1-3, NNN).
- the safety mode is not set (OOO *, PPP).
- the compressor and the changeover valve are brought into an operating mode in which the valve position is switched over at regular intervals.
- This is a normal, time-dependent switching function, which ensures that the compressor remains permanently loaded and therefore no extreme temperatures and pressure conditions can occur, which could lead to self-destruction of the compressor.
- the changeover valve is continuously switched over until the system is switched off manually.
- the program for the "compressor rescue" routine follows on from the "contact welding protection” routine. Because of the brevity and simplicity of this routine, no flowchart is provided.
- the main purpose of this "compressor rescue” routine is to recognize the crisis entry flag and control the system so that the compressor remains permanently loaded. In the present system, a load is maintained by alternately heating and cooling the space schematically delimited by line 12. This could also be done by alternately heating and cooling the storage tank S1 or, in another system, also by means of other loads. It will have been found that the printed program is designed for the conditioning of the memory and has been written with this in mind. The corresponding terms have been modified to refer to airspace.
- the crisis entry flag and the security flag are checked in the SEQUENCER module described above. If the flag is set, this routine is implemented. If the flag is set to "1", the system is placed in a "room conditioning" mode, i.e. either heated or cooled. First of all, this routine checks the state of the system. The heating mode is assumed as standard; the "contact welding safety" routine then checks whether there is defrosting or heating. The reason for this is that you first want to bring the system into the opposite state to the state immediately preceding it. If the system was in defrost mode, the coil must continue to be defrosted by energizing the coil. If the system was in heating mode, the storage tank and airspace were probably hot, so cooling should begin.
- the next program instruction containing a condition sets the device contacts. If the system is put in cooling mode all elements, including pumps P1 and P2, the outside fan, the changeover valve and the inside fan, are switched to cooling. It should be noted that the compressor does not have to be activated since it is either already switched on, which is the reason for executing this routine, or there is an error otherwise. In both cases, it is not desirable for the compressor to be activated.
- the program section initiated by "else" corresponds to the heating mode.
- Certain cooling and heating limits are set for this routine. The following part of the routine checks whether these limits have been exceeded in one direction or the other. If the temperature TRETA of the return air is equal to or lower than the value set on the HOC control panel minus 5 °, or if it is below 65 °, the heating mode is switched over and the device contacts are switched accordingly. In a similar way, starting from the heating mode, the air is only heated to 78 ° or up to 5 ° above the control console value HOC, the lower of these values being decisive.
- a digital output word is formed by building up "high byte” and “low byte” segments. Each word is 16 bits long and is captured as part of the digital system output.
- the crisis entry flag is then set to 2. Note that after a complete system reset, the system will no longer return to the "Contact Welding Safety Mode” routine once it has run through the "Compressor Rescue” routine.
