Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for operating a heat pump device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the publication DE 10 2009 022 246 B4 discloses a hot water treatment device having a controller.
- This controller is provided in the lower storage area to ensure that water is quickly recharged when hot water is drawn.
- the temperature of the water in the storage tank is determined. This is done by a sensor.
- the sensor determines an integral temperature of the storage, so that conclusions can be drawn about the loading level of the storage.
- the charge level in turn can be used to regulate the hot water tank.
- This control takes place, for example, in an automatic mode. In the automatic mode, the charge level of the hot water tank is reduced to a lower threshold if there is no tap. However, if there is a tap, the charge level is increased to the previous value. The water is thus heated when the temperature falls below a constant threshold value. Depending on a subsequent or no dispensing process, the heating to an operating temperature or a temperature in the range above the threshold value takes place.
- the heat pump device In the case of components that do not fit together optimally, for example a relatively small volume of water in the storage tank, the heat pump device often cycles. Or even with hot water storage tanks that are sub-optimally insulated, there are gradual heat losses. As a result of the heat losses in the prior art, the heating device or heat pump is actuated repeatedly within short phases, which may impair its service life.
- the heat pump device known from the prior art always heats the water to the desired temperature in a normal operating state, starting from a constant switch-on value as the minimum temperature of the hot water supply. This results in frequent short operation with subsequent relatively short pauses in the case of an unfavorable fluid storage heat pump device constellation. This affects the life of the device or the overall system.
- Each start and stop of the heat pump also has a negative effect on the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump. Every time the heat pump is started, it takes a while for the compressor or refrigeration circuit to work optimally. In order to achieve the required long service life, it is therefore always a goal of the system design that the heat pump starts as little as possible and runs for a long time.
- COP coefficient of performance
- the solution to the above problem is achieved by a method for operating a heat pump device, in particular for hot water preparation or for hot water preparation.
- the fluid is, in particular, water which is stored in a fluid store, that is to say a hot water store.
- a first method step the temperature of the fluid is detected by a sensor device, in particular a temperature sensor.
- the fluid is heated to a desired temperature.
- the fluid is heated to a value above the minimum value, in particular to the target temperature of preferably to 64 ° C.
- the value of the minimum temperature is variable and is dependent on a period of time that has elapsed since the heating was previously carried out.
- variable starting temperature which preferably starts with a default value of 40 ° C whenever the heat pump stops heating the domestic water and rises to the desired starting temperature.
- 56 ° C in particular are provided within a certain period, in particular 6 hours.
- variable temperature control method is provided that is optimized to the needs and properties of the respective combination. This leads in particular to the fact that the method can be used with optimally coordinated device components and with sub-optimally coordinated device components and enables the longest possible period between heating periods - while maintaining comfort requirements - whereby the functional reliability and the efficiency of all heat pump devices can be adjusted to a particular one Sets maximum value.
- activation of the heat pump device components for domestic water heating is normally sufficient every four to six hours, which results in a significantly reduced total number of actuations or a significant extension of the service life.
- the value of the minimum temperature is increased in constant time intervals from a predefinable minimum temperature. It is also conceivable that the time segments each comprise only one second or essentially one second or any other suitable time period. However, the time periods are preferably calculated, this is advantageous since the individual time periods can be optimally adapted to the properties of the components of the heat pump device.
- the increase takes place in predeterminable iteration steps, preferably calculated as a function of the respective heat pump device components, in particular by constant values.
- the values can be, for example, between 0.01 ° C and 1 ° C and is preferably substantially or exactly 0.1 ° C.
- This embodiment is advantageous because the minimum temperature can be raised to a target value for an optimal constellation for the entire system within a defined period of time. This means that the optimal minimum temperature can be set or set for different heat pump systems.
- the value of the minimum temperature is reset to the predetermined value when a desired temperature of the fluid is reached. It is conceivable that the time period that elapsed between the last reset is stored or output, as a result of which a change in the component behavior of the heat pump device can be determined on the basis of changing time periods.
- This embodiment is advantageous since it provides an automatic self-adjustment / regulation by the heat pump device, thus avoiding human-machine interaction.
- the first time period begins to run when the reset is carried out and the increase takes place automatically. This embodiment is advantageous since a permanent and repetitive provision or initiation of the method according to the invention is also automatically realized.
- the length of the time segments is divided by the amount by dividing a predetermined maximum time period (in seconds) in which a minimum target temperature (in ° C.) can be reached starting from a minimum start temperature (in ° C.) the difference of x times, in particular 10 times, the minimum target temperature and x times, in particular 10 times, the minimum start temperature.
- This embodiment is advantageous because a determination of the respective or optimal values can be carried out in a simple and thus resource-saving manner, in particular since the calculation has only a low level of complexity. Furthermore, the simple embodiment is always extremely reliable, inexpensive and easy to maintain.
- the predetermined period is between 3 and 9 hours, preferably between 4 and 8 Hours and particularly preferably essentially or exactly 6 hours.
- a period of 6 hours can, for example, correspond to a heating cycle of an optimal heat pump-fluid storage combination and thus enables an optimal efficiency setting.
- the minimum starting temperature is between 30 ° C. and 50 ° C. and preferably between 30 ° C. and 45 ° C. and particularly preferably essentially or exactly 40 ° C.
- a temperature of 40 ° C. is particularly preferred since at this temperature the fluid, in particular water, can still be used for a large number of uses. With 40 ° C warm water, for example, a heating device can still be operated or a shower process can be carried out.
- the minimum target temperature is a temperature between 50 ° C. and 70 ° C. and preferably a temperature between 50 ° C. and 60 ° C. and particularly preferably the minimum target temperature is essentially or exactly 56 ° C.
- This embodiment is advantageous with regard to the usual, economical design and operating range of a heat pump.
- the fluid is fed to the fluid reservoir in a feed device, such as, for example, a line, in particular a pipeline or a hose line, and the fluid is conducted from the fluid reservoir to a hot water consumer or a provision facility.
- a feed device such as, for example, a line, in particular a pipeline or a hose line

- the water held in the tank 2 is preferably heated when the temperature in the tank 2 detected by the sensor device 4 is less than or equal to 56 ° C.
- the sensor device 4 is preferably arranged in the bottom region of the tank 2, it also being conceivable that several sensor devices 4 are arranged distributed in the tank, in particular at different distances from the bottom of the tank 2.
- a control device (not shown) is preferred. provided that evaluates the recorded values, for example by averaging.
- the heating of the water preferably ends when the sensor device 4 reaches a target temperature 9 (cf. Fig. 3 ) of preferably> 56.5-57 ° C is detected or output.
- the above-mentioned temperatures can have higher or lower values depending on other recorded temperatures, in particular in a deviation range of 0.1-3 ° C.
- the outer region of the tank 2 preferably comprises 20-300 l and particularly preferably 60-150 l and the heat pump 6 has a thermal output of preferably 1-20 kW and particularly preferably 5-14 kW.
- the outer region of the tank 2 heats up very quickly, as a result of which the heat is not available in sufficient time to enter the tank To penetrate inside the tank 2. This is particularly problematic because the output of the heat pump 6 is not adjustable.
- the sensor device 4 The detected target temperature 9 is thus quickly reached and the heat pump 6 is stopped. It is also critical here that the exemplary heat pump 6 cannot work with temperatures higher than 57 ° C.

- the abscissa 23 denotes the curve over time and the ordinate 24 denotes the temperature.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Wärmepumpenvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a method for operating a heat pump device according to the preamble of
Wärmepumpenvorrichtungen werden aufgrund ihrer hohen thermischen Wirkungsgrade und der Energieeffizienz sehr wirtschaftlich eingesetzt und in hohen Stückzahlen verwendet.Due to their high thermal efficiency and energy efficiency, heat pump devices are used very economically and are used in large quantities.
Die Druckschrift
Ferner beschreibt beispielsweise die
Es wurde erkannt, dass Lebensdauer und Effizienz einer Wärmepumpenvorrichtung oder von deren einzelner Komponenten durch eine relativ hohe Taktfrequenz beeinträchtigt werden. Ungünstig ist beispielsweise die Häufigkeit des Ein- und Ausschaltens des Kompressors und die damit verbundenen Zustände im angeschlossenen Kältekreis. Bei der Verwendung von älteren beziehungsweise suboptimalen Speicherbehältern kann ein Unterschreiten eines Schwellenwertes oder einer Mindesttemperatur häufiger auftreten als bei optimal isolierten Warmwasserspeichern beziehungsweise optimalen Behälter-Wärmepumpenkonstellationen, wodurch im Falle suboptimaler Konstellationen die Lebensdauer des Systems sinkt.It has been recognized that the service life and efficiency of a heat pump device or of its individual components are impaired by a relatively high clock frequency. For example, the frequency of switching the on and off is unfavorable Compressor and the associated conditions in the connected refrigeration circuit. When using older or sub-optimal storage tanks, falling below a threshold value or a minimum temperature can occur more often than with optimally insulated hot water tanks or optimal tank-heat pump constellations, whereby the life of the system is reduced in the case of sub-optimal constellations.
Bei nicht optimal zusammen passenden Komponenten, beispielsweise ein relativ klein bemessenes Wasservolumen im Speicher, tritt häufig ein Takten der Wärmepumpenvorrichtung auf. Oder auch bei Warmwasserspeichern, die suboptimal isoliert sind, ergeben sich schleichende Wärmeverluste. Infolge der Wärmeverluste erfolgt im Stand der Technik eine sich innerhalb kurzer Phasen wiederholende Ansteuerungen der Heizeinrichtung bzw. Wärmepumpe, wodurch deren Lebensdauer möglicherweise beeinträchtigt wird.In the case of components that do not fit together optimally, for example a relatively small volume of water in the storage tank, the heat pump device often cycles. Or even with hot water storage tanks that are sub-optimally insulated, there are gradual heat losses. As a result of the heat losses in the prior art, the heating device or heat pump is actuated repeatedly within short phases, which may impair its service life.
Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Wärmepumpenvorrichtung heizt in einem normalen Betriebszustand, ausgehend von einem konstanten Einschaltwert als Minimaltemperatur des Warmwasservorrats, stets das Wasser auf die Solltemperatur auf. Dadurch kommt es bei einer ungünstigen Fluidspeicher-Wärmepumpenvorrichtungs-Konstellation zu einem häufigen kurzen Betrieb mit nachfolgenden relativ kurzen Pausen. Dies beeinträchtigt die Lebensdauer der Vorrichtung bzw. des Gesamtsystems.The heat pump device known from the prior art always heats the water to the desired temperature in a normal operating state, starting from a constant switch-on value as the minimum temperature of the hot water supply. This results in frequent short operation with subsequent relatively short pauses in the case of an unfavorable fluid storage heat pump device constellation. This affects the life of the device or the overall system.
Jeder Start und Stop der Wärmepumpe hat ferner einen negativen Effekt auf die Leistungszahl (COP) der Wärmepumpe. Jedes Mal wenn die Wärmepumpe gestartet wird dauert es nämlich eine Weile bis der Kompressor bzw. der Kältekreislauf optimal arbeitet. Um die erforderliche lange Lebensdauer zu erreichen, ist es daher generell immer ein Ziel der Anlagen-Auslegung, dass die Wärmepumpe möglichst wenig startet und lange läuft.Each start and stop of the heat pump also has a negative effect on the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump. Every time the heat pump is started, it takes a while for the compressor or refrigeration circuit to work optimally. In order to achieve the required long service life, it is therefore always a goal of the system design that the heat pump starts as little as possible and runs for a long time.
Es ist somit Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den Betrieb einer Wärmepumpenvorrichtung, insbesondere im Warmwasserbereitungsbetrieb, zu optimieren, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Lebensdauer und Wirkungsgrad von der gesamten Wärmepumpenvorrichtung und deren Komponenten.It is therefore an object of the present invention to optimize the operation of a heat pump device, in particular in the hot water preparation mode, in particular with regard to the service life and efficiency of the entire heat pump device and its components.
Die Lösung der zuvor gestellten Aufgabe erfolgt durch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Wärmepumpenvorrichtung, insbesondere zur Warmwasserbereitung beziehungsweise zur Brauchwasserbereitung. Dabei handelt es sich bei dem Fluid insbesondere um Wasser, welches in einem Fluidspeicher, also einem Warmwasserspeicher, vorgehalten wird. In einem ersten Verfahrensschritt wird die Temperatur des Fluids durch eine Sensoreinrichtung, insbesondere einen Temperaturfühler erfasst. In einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt erfolgt die Aufheizung des Fluids auf eine Solltemperatur. Infolge der Absenkung der Temperatur des Fluids auf oder unter einen Mindestwert erfolgt eine Aufheizung des Fluids auf einen Wert oberhalb des Mindestwerts, insbesondere auf die Solltemperatur von bevorzugt auf 64 °C.The solution to the above problem is achieved by a method for operating a heat pump device, in particular for hot water preparation or for hot water preparation. The fluid is, in particular, water which is stored in a fluid store, that is to say a hot water store. In a first method step, the temperature of the fluid is detected by a sensor device, in particular a temperature sensor. In a second process step, the fluid is heated to a desired temperature. As a result of the lowering of the temperature of the fluid to or below a minimum value, the fluid is heated to a value above the minimum value, in particular to the target temperature of preferably to 64 ° C.
Erfindungsgemäß ist der Wert der Mindesttemperatur variabel und von einem seit einer zuvor erfolgten Aufheizung vergangenen Zeitraum abhängig.According to the invention, the value of the minimum temperature is variable and is dependent on a period of time that has elapsed since the heating was previously carried out.
Die Aufgabe wird somit mittels einer variablen Starttemperatur, die jedesmal bevorzugt mit einem Vorgabewert von 40°C startet, wenn die Wärmepumpe die Brauchwassererwärmung beendet, und auf die gewünschte Starttemperatur ansteigt, gelöst. Dafür sind insbesondere 56°C innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitraums, insbesondere 6 Stunden, vorgesehen.The task is thus solved by means of a variable starting temperature, which preferably starts with a default value of 40 ° C whenever the heat pump stops heating the domestic water and rises to the desired starting temperature. For this purpose, 56 ° C in particular are provided within a certain period, in particular 6 hours.
Unabhängig von der jeweiligen Komponentenzusammenstellung der Wärmepumpenvorrichtung wird so ein variables, und an die Bedürfnisse und Eigenschaften der jeweiligen Zusammenstellung optimiertes Temperierungsverfahren bereitgestellt. Dies führt insbesondere dazu, dass das Verfahren bei optimal aufeinander abgestimmten Vorrichtungskomponenten und bei suboptimal aufeinander abgestimmten Vorrichtungskomponenten einsetzbar ist und einen möglichst großen Zeitraum zwischen Aufheizperioden - bei der Einhaltung von Komfortanforderungen - ermöglicht, wodurch sich die Funktionssicherheit und der Wirkungsgrad aller Wärmepumpenvorrichtungen jeweils auf einen jeweiligen Höchstwert einstellt.Irrespective of the respective component combination of the heat pump device, a variable temperature control method is provided that is optimized to the needs and properties of the respective combination. This leads in particular to the fact that the method can be used with optimally coordinated device components and with sub-optimally coordinated device components and enables the longest possible period between heating periods - while maintaining comfort requirements - whereby the functional reliability and the efficiency of all heat pump devices can be adjusted to a particular one Sets maximum value.
Somit ist zum Beispiel in einem normalen Ein- oder Zweifamilienhaus eine Ansteuerung der Wärmepumpenvorrichtungskomponenten zur Brauchwassererwärmung im Normalfall alle vier bis sechs Stunden ausreichend, wodurch sich eine deutlich reduzierte Gesamtansteuerungszahl bzw. eine deutliche Lebensdauerverlängerung ergibt.Thus, for example in a normal one or two-family house, activation of the heat pump device components for domestic water heating is normally sufficient every four to six hours, which results in a significantly reduced total number of actuations or a significant extension of the service life.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung erfolgt ausgehend von einer vorgebbaren Mindesttemperatur in konstanten Zeitabschnitten eine Erhöhung des Wertes der Mindesttemperatur. Denkbar ist dabei auch, dass die Zeitabschnitte jeweils nur eine Sekunde beziehungsweise im Wesentlichen eine Sekunde oder jede sonstige geeignete Zeitspanne umfassen. Bevorzugt erfolgt jedoch eine Berechnung der Zeitabschnitte, dies ist vorteilhaft, da die einzelnen Zeitabschnitte so optimal an die Eigenschaften der Komponenten der Wärmepumpenvorrichtung anpassbar sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the value of the minimum temperature is increased in constant time intervals from a predefinable minimum temperature. It is also conceivable that the time segments each comprise only one second or essentially one second or any other suitable time period. However, the time periods are preferably calculated, this is advantageous since the individual time periods can be optimally adapted to the properties of the components of the heat pump device.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung erfolgt die Erhöhung in vorgebbaren und bevorzugt in Abhängigkeit von den jeweiligen Wärmepumpenvorrichtungskomponenten berechneten Iterationsschritten, insbesondere um konstante Werte. Die Werte können hierbei zum Beispiel zwischen 0,01 °C und 1°C und bevorzugt bei im Wesentlichen oder genau 0,1°C liegen. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da sich so innerhalb eines definierten Zeitraums die Mindesttemperatur auf einen Zielwert für eine optimale Konstellation für die gesamte Anlage anheben lässt. Dadurch kann für verschiedene Wärmepumpensysteme die optimale Mindesttemperatur eingestellt werden bzw. sich einstellen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the increase takes place in predeterminable iteration steps, preferably calculated as a function of the respective heat pump device components, in particular by constant values. The values can be, for example, between 0.01 ° C and 1 ° C and is preferably substantially or exactly 0.1 ° C. This embodiment is advantageous because the minimum temperature can be raised to a target value for an optimal constellation for the entire system within a defined period of time. This means that the optimal minimum temperature can be set or set for different heat pump systems.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird der Wert der Mindesttemperatur beim Erreichen einer Solltemperatur des Fluids auf den vorgegebenen Wert zurückgesetzt. Hierbei ist denkbar, dass der zwischen der letzten Zurücksetzung vergangene Zeitraum abgespeichert oder ausgegeben wird, wodurch eine Veränderung des Komponentenverhaltens der Wärmepumpenvorrichtung anhand von sich verändernden Zeiträumen bestimmbar ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the value of the minimum temperature is reset to the predetermined value when a desired temperature of the fluid is reached. It is conceivable that the time period that elapsed between the last reset is stored or output, as a result of which a change in the component behavior of the heat pump device can be determined on the basis of changing time periods.
Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da so eine selbsttätige und somit eine Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion vermeidende Selbsteinstellung-/Regelung durch die Wärmepumpenvorrichtung bereitgestellt wird.This embodiment is advantageous since it provides an automatic self-adjustment / regulation by the heat pump device, thus avoiding human-machine interaction.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung beginnt mit der Zurücksetzung der erste Zeitabschnitt zu laufen und die Erhöhung erfolgt automatisch. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da ebenfalls automatisch eine dauerhafte und sich wiederholende Bereitstellung beziehungsweise Einleitung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens realisiert wird.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first time period begins to run when the reset is carried out and the increase takes place automatically. This embodiment is advantageous since a permanent and repetitive provision or initiation of the method according to the invention is also automatically realized.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die Länge der Zeitabschnitte mittels der Division eines vorbestimmten maximalen Zeitraums (in Sekunden), in dem ausgehend von einer Mindeststarttemperatur (in °C) eine Mindestzieltemperatur (in °C) zu erreichen ist, durch den Betrag der Differenz aus einem x-fachen, insbesondere 10-fachen, der Mindestzieltemperatur und dem x-fachen, insbesondere 10-fachen, der Mindeststarttemperatur bestimmt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of the time segments is divided by the amount by dividing a predetermined maximum time period (in seconds) in which a minimum target temperature (in ° C.) can be reached starting from a minimum start temperature (in ° C.) the difference of x times, in particular 10 times, the minimum target temperature and x times, in particular 10 times, the minimum start temperature.
Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da einfach und somit ressourcenschonend eine Bestimmung der jeweiligen beziehungsweise optimalen Werte durchführbar ist, insbesondere da die Berechnung nur eine geringe Komplexität aufweist. Weiterhin ist die einfache Ausführungsform stets äußerst funktionssicher, günstig und wartungsfreundlich.This embodiment is advantageous because a determination of the respective or optimal values can be carried out in a simple and thus resource-saving manner, in particular since the calculation has only a low level of complexity. Furthermore, the simple embodiment is always extremely reliable, inexpensive and easy to maintain.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung beträgt der vorbestimmte Zeitraum zwischen 3 und 9 Stunden bevorzugt zwischen 4 und 8 Stunden und besonders bevorzugt im Wesentlichen beziehungsweise genau 6 Stunden. Ein Zeitraum von 6 Stunden kann zum Beispiel einem Aufheizzyklus einer optimalen Wärmepumpen-Fluidspeicherkombination entsprechen und ermöglicht somit eine optimale Wirkungsgradeinstellung.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined period is between 3 and 9 hours, preferably between 4 and 8 Hours and particularly preferably essentially or exactly 6 hours. A period of 6 hours can, for example, correspond to a heating cycle of an optimal heat pump-fluid storage combination and thus enables an optimal efficiency setting.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Mindeststarttemperatur zwischen 30°C und 50°C und bevorzugt zwischen 30°C und 45°C und besonders bevorzugt im Wesentlichen oder genau 40°C. Eine Temperatur von 40°C ist besonders bevorzugt, da bei dieser Temperatur das Fluid, insbesondere Wasser, noch für eine Vielzahl von Verwendungen einsetzbar ist. So ist mit 40° C warmem Wasser beispielsweise noch eine Heizeinrichtung betreibbar oder ein Duschvorgang durchführbar.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the minimum starting temperature is between 30 ° C. and 50 ° C. and preferably between 30 ° C. and 45 ° C. and particularly preferably essentially or exactly 40 ° C. A temperature of 40 ° C. is particularly preferred since at this temperature the fluid, in particular water, can still be used for a large number of uses. With 40 ° C warm water, for example, a heating device can still be operated or a shower process can be carried out.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Mindestzieltemperatur eine Temperatur zwischen 50°C und 70°C und bevorzugt eine Temperatur zwischen 50°C und 60°C und besonders bevorzugt beträgt die Mindestzieltemperatur im Wesentlichen oder genau 56°C. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf den üblichen, wirtschaftlichen Auslegungs- und Arbeitsbereich einer Wärmepumpe.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the minimum target temperature is a temperature between 50 ° C. and 70 ° C. and preferably a temperature between 50 ° C. and 60 ° C. and particularly preferably the minimum target temperature is essentially or exactly 56 ° C.

Bevorzugt erfolgt die Aufheizung des im Tank 2 vorgehaltenen Wassers, wenn die durch die Sensoreinrichtung 4 erfasste Temperatur im Tank 2 kleiner oder kleiner gleich 56°C ist. Die Sensoreinrichtung 4 ist bevorzugt im Bodenbereich des Tanks 2 angeordnet, wobei ebenfalls vorstellbar ist, dass mehrere Sensoreinrichtungen 4 im Tank verteilt angeordnet sind, insbesondere in verschiedenen Abständen zum Boden des Tanks 2. Im Falle mehrerer Sensoreinrichtungen 4 ist bevorzugt eine Regelungseinrichtung (nicht gezeigt) vorgesehen, die eine Auswertung der erfassten Werte, zum Beispiel über eine Mittelwertbildung, durchführt. Die Aufheizung des Wasser endet bevorzugt, wenn durch die Sensoreinrichtung 4 eine Zieltemperatur 9 (vgl.
Der äußere Bereich des Tanks 2 umfasst bevorzugt 20-300 I und besonders bevorzugt 60-150 I und die Wärmepumpe 6 hat eine Wärmeleistung von bevorzugt 1-20 kW und besonders bevorzugt 5-14 kW. Im Falle des Zusammenwirkens einer für einen spezifischen Tank 2 zu großen Wärmepumpe 6, d.h. einer Wärmepumpe 6 mit einer zu großen Abgabeleistung, erfolgt eine sehr schnelle Aufheizung des äußeren Bereich des Tanks 2, wodurch der Wärme nicht ausreichend Zeit zur Verfügung steht, um in das Innere des Tanks 2 einzudringen. Dies ist insbesondere dadurch problematisch, da die Abgabeleistung der Wärmepumpe 6 nicht einstellbar ist. Die von der Sensoreinrichtung 4 erfasste Zieltemperatur 9 wird somit schnell erreicht und die Wärmepumpe 6 wird angehalten. Kritisch ist hierbei ferner, dass die exemplarische Wärmepumpe 6 nicht mit höheren Temperaturen als 57°C Eingangstemperatur und 64°C Ausgangstemperatur arbeiten kann, wodurch die Zieltemperatur nicht anhebbar ist. Da zwischen dem Inneren des Tanks 2 und dem äußeren Bereich des Tanks 2 zunächst eine relativ hohe Temperaturdifferenz vorliegt, erfolgt ein schnelles Absinken der Temperatur im äußeren Bereich, wodurch die Sensoreinrichtung 4 ein weiteres Unterschreiten der kritischen Temperatur bzw. der Mindesttemperatur detektiert und infolge dessen eine weitere Ansteuerung der Wärmepumpe 6 erfolgt. Dies wiederholt sich innerhalb relativ kurzer Zeitintervalle diverse Male bis die Temperatur für einen längeren Zeitraum oberhalb der kritischen Temperatur bzw. Mindesttemperatur liegt.The outer region of the
Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionalität ermöglicht es demgegenüber ein Verfahren bzw. eine Vorrichtung zum Aufheizen 1 mindestens eines Fluides bereitzustellen, die je nach Zusammenstellung, d. h. mit einer spezifischen Wärmepumpe 6 und einem Fluidspeicher 2, wie einem Brauchwassertank (DHW-Tank) oder Heizungswassertank, sowie mit lediglich suboptimal zueinander passenden Komponenten, in jedem Fall eine Aufheizung des Fluids zu möglichst weit auseinanderliegenden Zeitpunkten vorzunehmen.In contrast, the functionality according to the invention makes it possible to provide a method or a device for
Dies bedeutet, dass im Falle einer ungünstigen Komponentenkonstellation die Temperaturen des Fluids zeitweise etwas geringer sein können aber der Installateur muss keine Einstellungen vornehmen, da durch die variable Starttemperatur das Problem der zu häufig erfolgenden Starts zur Brauchwassererwärmung gelöst wird.This means that in the event of an unfavorable component constellation, the temperatures of the fluid can be slightly lower at times, but the installer does not have to make any settings, since the variable start temperature solves the problem of the frequently occurring starts for hot water heating.
In
Durch das Bezugszeichen 8 wird eine Mindesttemperatur gekennzeichnet, bei deren Unterschreiten oder Erreichen eine Aufheizung des Wassers auf die Zieltemperatur 9 erfolgt. Aufgrund der relativ hohen Temperaturunterschiede in dem Fluidbereich, in den die Wärme beim Aufheizen eingeleitet wird, und in dem Fluidbereich, in den die Wärme sich ausbreiten muss, bildet sich ein erster relativ steiler Temperaturabsinkbereich 21 aus. Der zweite Temperaturabsinkbereich 22, der deutlich flacher ausgebildet ist, stellt sich erst bei einer sehr geringen Temperaturdifferenz in den zuvor genannten Bereichen ein. Da beim Erreichen der Zieltemperatur 9 die Wärmepumpenvorrichtung 1 aufhört Wärme bereit zu stellen, sinkt aufgrund der hohen Temperaturdifferenz der Heizverlauf 25 bzw. die Ist-Temperatur 7 unter die Mindesttemperatur, wodurch eine weitere Aufheizung eingeleitet wird. Dies erfolgt so häufig bis der Verlauf der Ist-Temperatur 7 dem Verlauf des zweiten Temperaturabsinkbereichs 22 entspricht.A minimum temperature is identified by
In
Die Mindesttemperatur 8 verändert sich daher bei optimal aufeinander abgestimmten Komponenten von der Mindeststarttemperatur 8 innerhalb der gewünschten Zeit bzw. Standardzeit 13 auf die Mindestzieltemperatur.With optimally coordinated components, the
Im Falle suboptimal aufeinander abgestimmter Komponenten schneiden bzw. treffen sich die Verläufe der Ist-Temperatur 7 und der Mindesttemperatur 8 zeitlich vor dem Ablauf der Standardzeit 13 (nicht gezeigt). Bei einem hohen Verbrauch an temperiertem Wasser erfolgt ein Zusammentreffen des ersten Temperaturabsinkbereichs 21 mit der Mindesttemperatur 8, wodurch eine Aufheizung eingeleitet wird.In the case of suboptimally coordinated components, the courses of the
Bei einer jedoch nur aufgrund der Temperaturdifferenz zwischen dem Wasserbereich, in den sich die Wärme ausbreitet, und dem Wasserbereich, in den die Wärme eingeleitet wird, erfolgenden Absenkung der Ist-Temperatur 7 und/oder geringen Entnahmen temperierten Wassers erfolgt bevorzugt ein Zusammentreffen des zweiten Temperaturabsinkbereichs 22 mit der Kurve der Mindesttemperatur 8. Dies erfolgt somit in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Komponentenkonstellation, wodurch jeweils eine an die jeweilige Komponentenkonstellation angepasste bzw. reduzierte Ansprechhäufigkeit eingestellt wird. Die Mindesttemperatur 8 wird bevorzugt, wenn die Ist-Temperatur 7 der Zieltemperatur 9 entspricht, auf die Mindeststarttemperatur 10 zurückgesetzt.In the case of a lowering of the
