Definitions
- This invention relates to an electronic microcontroller-controlled system by means of which the temperature of liquids (mostly water) and solids, the heat content of a particular volume of liquid, the lime deposition on electric heating elements, defects of heating elements, and the erroneous setting into operation of heating elements can be determined, with the heating elements used in the appliance or system being utilized as temperature sensors.
- the control is integrally safe.
- the appliances referred to include, by way of example, domestic appliances such as, for instance, electric boilers, water heaters, coffee-makers, washing machines, dishwashers, and the like.
- thermostatic switch or thermostatic control, the operation of which is based on the coefficient of cubic expansion of liquids.
- a small reservoir is mounted in a tube, which is disposed in the environment to be heated. Via a capillary tube, the reservoir is connected with a second reservoir having on one side a readily movable membrane.
- the membrane has undergone a particular predetermined displacement, a mechanically coupled electrical switch goes from the conducting state (closed contacts) into the non-conducting state. This switching occurs at a temperature which is adjustable by a rotary knob which is mechanically coupled with the switch mentioned.
- the thermostatic switch mentioned reaches the point where it switches back to the conducting state again. In this way, the temperature can be maintained within particular limits.
- an excess temperature protection is incorporated, often in combination with the above-mentioned thermostatic control, which functions in substantially the same manner.
- This excess temperature protection has its own independent liquid reservoir, capillary and switching system.
- the desired switching temperature has been set and fixed at a high, though still just acceptable value.
- the excess temperature protection will interrupt the voltage supply. The current supply can be restored only by depressing a reset button on the excess temperature protection after the temperature has fallen sufficiently.
- a boiler can be set at a temperature between 35°C and 85°C, which can be reached overnight.
- hot water will then be present (in well-insulated boilers, a temperature fall of maximally 1 Kelvin per 24 hours will occur), while at the bottom of the vessel relatively cold water will be present. Due to the manner in which cold water flows in, a sharp transition (1-2 cm) from cold to hot water will be maintained.
- the present-day boilers of more deluxe design are fitted, on the outside of the vessel, with a heat content sensor, mostly consisting of a number of temperature-dependent resistors, by means of which it can be determined approximately at what height the transition from hot to cold water is located. Since the temperature of the water above the transition layer mentioned is also known, the heat content of the boiler can be determined by the electronics. Often, the number of LED's or another indication on a display indicate how many showers or baths can still be taken when using a mixing tap set at 38°C.
- US-A-3,789,190 provided a solution for a number of the above mentioned drawbacks by using the heating elements themselves as temperature sensor. Not only does the new temperature measuring system enable temperature determination and heat content determinations to be carried out, but the utilization of heating elements as sensor also enables very early determination of the extent of scaling, the defective status of a heating element, and the non-presence of water.
- US-A-3,789,190 discloses a heating apparatus for heating liquids or solids, suitable in particular for use in domestic appliances, comprising at least one electrical resistance heating element excitable by an electrical supply source, means for switching on and off the at least one heating element and a measuring circuit for measuring the electrical resistance of the heating element, which resistance, on the basis of the temperature coefficient of the resistance wire of the heating element, forms a measure for the temperature, to which measuring circuit a measuring voltage is applied, and a controllable switching contact device which in a first position connects the heating element with the supply source and in a second position connects the heating element with the measuring circuit.
- a problem of this and any other heating apparatus of a similar type is, that during use of the heating apparatus a line scale will develop which will affect proper operation in the term. It is an object of the present invention to provide means for detecting the presence of line deposition on a heating element of a heating apparatus.
- a heating apparatus of the above type is characterized in that the heating apparatus further comprises a micro controller under the control of which the thickness of lime scale on a heating element is determined by periodically comparing the time constant of the cooling of the resistance wire in the heating element at different temperatures as determined and stored during the first working hours of the heating element, with the value measured last, so that when certain values set by the manufacturer are found, a service request signal is given or, when an absolute maximum is exceeded, the appliance or system is cut out entirely.
- the basic circuit for one heating element E1 is based on two independent relays RY1 and RY2 each having one make-and-break contact ry1 and ry2. In the rest position of each one of these relays, the heating element, through the rest position of the contacts ry1 and ry2, is placed electrically in a measuring bridge 1 having, in this example, resistors R 1 , R 2 , R 3 . In the active position, i.e. the normal operating position, the heating element is connected via the relay contacts with the mains voltage V1.
- a voltage is formed which is a function of the temperatures prevailing in the heating element.
- the heating element is then used as a temperature-dependent resistor. This is possible because each electric heating element, like any electrical resistance element, has a temperature-dependent resistance value.
- the output signal P of the differential amplifier 2 is applied to an analog/digital converter 6 of the microcontroller.
- the electronic circuit 3 which drives the two above-mentioned relays in Fig. 2 contains a microcontroller or microprocessor 4 by means of which it is constantly monitored, per transistor T1, T2 each controlling a relay, via for instance two inputs on the microcontroller, whether the relays RY1 and RY2, as to control, are in the desired state.
- the electronic circuit contains a transistor T4, which interrupts the supply V2 to the relays if a control signal (a square wave) on an output of the microcontroller 4 enters a static condition. This can occur, for instance, if the microcontroller 4 enters a condition of malfunction. This can be detected via capacitor C2, resistor R7 and transistor T3. Also, in the circuit 3, it is checked at short intervals via one of the connections 10, 11, 12 of the microcontroller, whether the supply voltage for the relays corresponds with the desired condition. The proper operation of the safety cut-out function is checked at least once a day by interrupting the square-wave signal which is applied to capacitor C2 by the microcontroller 4.
- a control signal a square wave
- the pull-in and release of the two relays are not effected simultaneously, but in succession, such that the order of pull-in and release is constantly changed. As a result, in each case a different relay switches the full power. The second relay then switches practically unloaded.
- the above-mentioned control of the two relays occurs with the same number as the number of heating elements used.
- the safety cut-out function via transistor T4 can be made of single design if the number of heating elements to be controlled is not unduly large.
- the invention further enables the following new measuring methods:
- the determination of the heat content in inter alia boilers can be performed without the heat content sensor referred to.
- the two principles of determining the heat content can be used if at least two heating elements (Fig. 3) are available, which are to be mounted at the bottom of the boiler (Fig. 4). Starting from Fig. 3, a number of embodiments are possible, the operation of which will be explained hereinbelow.
- the water will heat all elements A, B, C and D to 60°C.
- all elements as sensor, it can be determined during the tapping of hot water of 60°C to what level cold supply water has flowed in. If, for instance, the cold water has passed element D, the resistance of this element will have fallen to a value corresponding to the temperature of this cold water. Accordingly, by measuring the resistance of element D, the temperature of the cold water can be determined as well. The resistance of the elements A and B will also decrease because they stand in this cold water for approximately 20%.
- the resistance of element C When upon further tapping of hot water the cold water rises to halfway element C, the resistance of element C will approximately have a resistance corresponding to the average temperature of the cold and the hot water.
- the elements A and B then stand in the cold water for approximately 50%. With the value which element C provides, as well as the resistance of the elements A and B, the heat content can be determined. If the cold water rises above the element C, but lower than the top of the elements A and B, the height of the transition between cold and hot water (and hence the heat content) can be determined only by measuring the resistance of A or B.
- the heat content can be determined by controlling the elements A, B and optionally C for some time (a few tens of seconds). By dissipating electrical energy, the water in contact with the elements is heated and consequently rises.
- Element D now functions as a temperature sensor by means of which it is determined how long it takes for an increase of the temperature to be signaled.
- the measured time between the start of the heating phase and the signaling of the temperature increase of element D is a variable for calculating the heat content of the boiler.
- the heat content can also be determined by heating with element A and measuring with element B.
- versions with element A as heat source and element D as sensor for each type of boiler it can be determined by calculations and/or measurements at what height the transition layer is located, on the basis of which the heat content can subsequently be calculated.
- each heat demand can be signaled by each of the heating elements connected as temperature sensors through natural temperature fluctuations of the cold water flowing in. Since the system described must always be controlled by a microprocessor or microcontroller, it is possible to register the pattern of use over time, which makes it possible, when there is no signaling of water use or there is no water use, still to carry out a heat content determination. Through this method, the employment of a flow sensor can be omitted.
- This invention utilizes the possibility mentioned of using a heating element as temperature sensor.
- a heating element Prior to the prolonged supply of electrical energy to a heating element (Fig. 4), first the resistance of the element is measured to determine the current (water or air) temperature. Thereupon, energy is sent to the element briefly (about 1-5 seconds).
- a resistance measurement of the element is carried out.
- the measured resistance will rapidly fall back from a particular maximum to the temperature of the water.
- the heating element will not be able to get rid of the heat so fast.
- the measured temperature will therefore decrease much more slowly.
- the microcontroller will ensure that an alarm is given (e.g. an 'Error' LED 7 lighting up).
- the appliance can be re-started only after a particular time and after sufficient cooling of the heating element.
- the microcontroller is preferably programmed to detect, for instance during the first day at a number of temperatures during the heating phase, how fast the resistance of each element falls off after the interruption of the current. The measurement proceeds in a manner similar to that described hereinabove under 'the manner of protecting the heating elements in case the heating elements are erroneously switched on when an appliance or system is not filled with water.' This measurement at certain resistance intervals occurs after a period of a few minutes in which no heating has taken place, so that the temperature of the water is substantially the same throughout the vessel.
- a condition for a proper determination is that the transition layer K from cold to hot water is located above the elements, or that all the water in the appliance has the same temperature and hence there is no transition layer in the appliance.
- the measuring results at predetermined resistance values of the elements are stored in a non-volatile memory such as, for instance, an E 2 Prom.
- the microcontroller can determine for each resistance value the rate of fall of the temperature, and hence the time constant. Periodically, for instance once a month, the measurement is automatically repeated and compared with the measured values stored in the first hours. When the temperature fall time determined by the manufacturer is exceeded, the microcontroller can give an alarm. This can be done, for instance, by having the LED 7 or another LED light up, thereby indicating that service is required. When the periodic measurement indicates that a maximum value (to be set by the manufacturer) is exceeded, the appliance can be switched off definitively. This prevents an element burning out. In this event, too, the microcontroller can provide an alarm and/or indication.
- the present control is highly reliable by the use of two independently controllable relays RY1 and RY2 per heating element and the ability to cut out both relays via transistor T4, and by the fact that these functions are continuously tested by the microcontroller 4, and further in that in case of a malfunction of the microcontroller the square-wave signal to transistor T4 drops out. Through this design, a separate excess temperature protection is no longer needed.
