  • Detected tapping processes are temporarily stored in a further memory with a cyclical structure and are only processed during the next day period to specify the contents of the habits memory. If the sensor for the detection of dispensing processes is a temperature sensor, whenever the riser pipe is already heated, its cooling rate is compared with a reference value in order to detect a dispensing process under this condition.
  • a circulating pump for a conveying liquid comprising an electric motor, which is electronically commutated, with a rotor, a stator and a motor circuit, and a paddle wheel, which is non-rotatably connected to the rotor.
  • the electric motor has an evaluation device, by means of which a flow rate of conveyed liquid through the circulation pump can be determined via a speed of the rotor and / or a power consumption of the electric motor.
  • At least one signal output is provided, at which a flow rate signal and / or flow rate-dependent switching signal can be provided by the circulation pump.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pump device of the type mentioned, with which a domestic water system can be operated in a simple and convenient manner.

  • Warm water can be circulated in a recirculation process using the feed pump.
  • the check valve prevents water from flowing out of a hot water supply device at high speed against a delivery direction of the feed pump through the feed pump.
  • the bypass line ensures that a small amount of warm water can still flow back into the feed pump. This can lead to a temperature change and, in particular, a relatively steep temperature change, which is detectable. This change in temperature is an indication of water being drawn off.
  • water tapping on the process water system can be detected via "on-board means" of the pump device, regardless of whether the feed pump is in operation or not.

  • water from the hot water supply device is coupled into the pump device via the first connection.
  • the pump device also has a second connection, which is (directly) connected to the feed pump in a fluid-effective manner, water as the feed liquid flowing through the pump device from the second connection to the first connection when the feed pump is operating. In a "recirculation mode" of the feed pump, this conveys water from the recirculation line, which is connected to the second connection, into the hot water supply device, which is connected to the first connection.
  • the check valve is arranged and designed such that when water is drawn off it closes on a hot water line on which the recirculation line is arranged. This prevents “extensive” mixing of water from the hot water supply device and water from the recirculation device. Water from the hot water supply device can then not through the delivery pump at high speed through this stream.
  • the pressure in the provision of hot water in comparison to the pressure difference of the delivery device is usually sufficient to close the check valve.
  • the check valve advantageously ensures a closure both when the pump is operating and when the feed pump is at a standstill.
  • bypass line is arranged and designed such that a throughput of delivery liquid takes place through it, which is at most 15% of a throughput of delivery liquid through the pump device, when the check valve is open and the delivery pump is in operation. As a result, the "malfunction" caused by the open bypass line is low.
  • the bypass line has a hydraulic cross-sectional area which lies in the range between 5% and 15% of a hydraulic cross-sectional area of the recirculation line on which the pump device is arranged.

  • the evaluation device continuously monitors the flow rate in order to be able to recognize a tap in time.
  • the sensor device has at least one temperature sensor, which is arranged in particular within the feed pump. Strong temperature changes can be identified via the temperature sensor, which can be attributed to a backflow of water from a hot water supply device into the feed pump. This allows water to be drawn off even when the feed pump is not in operation. For this detectability, no sensor (such as a temperature sensor) has to be provided outside the pump device.
  • the evaluation device monitors temperature signals provided by the at least one temperature sensor and, in particular in the event of a (specific) temperature change, provides a detection signal which indicates a backflow of water from the hot water supply device through the bypass line into the feed pump, in particular when the feed pump is not in operation.

  • the flow rate Q is also proportional to the speed n of the electric motor 120, that is to say the speed n of the impeller 136 of the feed pump 116, which in turn corresponds to the speed of the rotor 124 of the electric motor 120.
  • the measurable engine power P can then be used to determine the flow rate Q.
  • the pump curve is given by a linear relationship ( Figure 5 ).
  • the corresponding relationship is determined once and stored in a memory of the evaluation device 42.
  • Corresponding calibration data are thus provided, which are stored in the delivery pump 116 at the factory.
  • engine power P is determined by sensor device 46. It will then be in the in the Evaluation device 42 "looked up" stored table and thus concluded on the current (current) flow rate Q.
  • the evaluation device 42 receives data from the sensor device 46 and monitors it.
  • the evaluation device 42 monitors in particular the absolute value of the flow rate or checks whether there is a change in the flow rate Q, in particular above a threshold. A corresponding significant change then means a tap on the hot water line 20.
  • the method just described can be used to determine whether (and with the help of the timer 50 when) water is being drawn from the hot water line 20 if the feed pump 116 is in operation, that is to say based on the “recirculation state” Figure 3 ,
  • Figure 5 schematically shows a pump curve for the feed pump 116, which indicates a delivery head H as a function of the flow rate Q.
  • a constant speed n is assumed.
  • the power consumption P (motor power) is also shown.
  • the corresponding data apply to a high-efficiency pump.
  • the power consumption P increases with increasing delivery quantity Q (curve 52).
  • two points are drawn schematically; the point B corresponds to a state in which the check valve 32 is open.
  • Point A corresponds to a low flow rate condition in which the check valve 32 is closed. It should be noted that it can be assumed that when hot water is drawn from the hot water pipe 20 running feed pump 116 this will usually no longer have a positive throughput, but a small negative throughput.
  • the water supply usually provides a pressure which is 30 to 50 times higher than the differential pressure of the feed pump 116. It can therefore be assumed that at point A the power consumption P is actually lower than in Figure 5 indicated.
  • the relationship between the power consumption and the delivery rate (flow rate) can be seen, and a tap on the hot water line 20 can be recognized via the delivery pump 116 (via the evaluation device 42 and the sensor device 46) while the delivery pump 116 is running.
  • Feed pumps 116 are usually operated in a circulation system in a speed-controlled manner since the power range is relatively low.
  • FIG 6 schematically shows a possible time profile of the temperature T, which is measured, for example, on the sensor 142.
  • the curve 54 according to Figure 6 corresponds to a temperature profile when the feed pump 116 is in operation.
  • the feed pump sucks hot water from the hot water tank 14 into the hot water pipe 20, which is thereby heated. Your circulation line 24 is also heated.
  • the water reaching the feed pump 116 becomes warmer with increasing time until the entire line (hot water line 20, recirculation line 24) is warm and the temperature no longer rises.
  • the feed pump 116 is thus flowed through by water, since it had previously delivered itself in the opposite direction.
  • An inverted profile 56 then arises for the temperature profile, the slope generally being flatter than in curve 54.
  • This water then flows out of the hot water tank 14 through the bypass line 34 in the feed pump 116.
  • the temperature and also the temperature changes depend on the position of a circulation input and in particular also on the state of charge of a boiler of the hot water supply device 12. If, for example, a shower has just been taken extensively, then it may be the case that a lower region of the hot water tank 14 is cold and first has to be warmed up again. If the hot water tank 14 is fully charged, then warm water can be provided from it again.
  • the temperature sensor 142, 146 supplies its data to the evaluation device 42, which determines the corresponding temporal temperature profile.
  • a strong temperature change is detected by the evaluation device 42, in particular according to curves 58 or 60, then this is an indication that a water tap has taken place or has taken place. It can then be recognized accordingly by monitoring temperature changes by the evaluation device 42 whether water has been drawn off. This water tap can also be detected when the feed pump 116 is not in operation.
  • the lower temperature change 56 compared to the temperature changes 58, 60 can also be detected.
  • a temperature profile according to profile 56 is an indication of a tap.
  • a water supply is thus recognized by means of "on-board means" of the feed pump 116 when the feed pump 116 is in operation and when it is not in operation.
  • the water tap is recognized in particular by a change in the flow rate Q.
  • water tapping is detected due to a possible backflow of water from the hot water tank 14 through the bypass line 34 into the feed pump 116 due to relatively large temperature changes.
  • the pump device 30 with the integrated sensor device with the temperature sensor 142, 146 and the sensor device 46 can then be used to determine whether a water tap is present or not, regardless of the operating state of the feed pump 16. No sensors outside the pump device 30 are required for this. In particular, no temperature sensor is required on the hot water supply device 12. This eliminates the otherwise required cabling and wiring.
  • the evaluation device 42 can therefore detect when there is a water tap on the hot water line 20, regardless of the operating state of the feed pump 116.
  • the timing element 50 can then be used to determine when such a water tap is present.
  • the self-learning device 48 can thereby determine a user pattern which is a time dependency of the water tap.
  • the user pattern determined in this way can in turn be used to control, adjust or adapt the operation of the feed pump 116.
  • the determined user pattern is used in such a way that the feed pump is operated in particular at a certain time interval (such as 15 minutes) before an expected tapping time in order to carry out a recirculation. If a user then carries out a tap, then he constantly receives warm water, that is to say there is no cooled water in the hot water line 20.
  • the operation of the feed pump 116 can be switched off after a certain period of time (such as 15 minutes) after an expected tapping interval, since no more recirculation is required.
  • the self-learning device 48 generates control data for the motor circuit 128 from the user pattern in order to control, adjust or adapt the feed pump 116 in a time-controlled manner.
  • the self-learning device 48 provides, for example, a control algorithm which has a 24-hour pattern and a superimposed 7-day pattern. As a result, a user pattern can be determined over the entire course of the week and used in accordance with this determined user pattern for controlling / setting / adapting the feed pump 116.
  • a self-learning device 48 assigns a finite lifetime to a user pattern. If no use of this user pattern is detected, then this user pattern is deactivated with regard to the control / setting / adaptation of the feed pump 116. If, for example, the user pattern is not used for three cycles, such deactivation takes place. For example, if the user pattern is used again within three days, it is reactivated. For example, the lifespan is extended to a maximum of 30 days, for example.
  • the corresponding lifespan control can also be used for the seven-day pattern.
  • user patterns can be different for each day and, for example, regular patterns for five days of the week may appear after some time, with days six and seven following other user patterns.
  • cycle lifetimes and the length of operations of the feed pump 116 can be selected in order to be able to vary a "comfort factor".
  • the longer life cycles and the longer a pump is in operation the less hot water is conveyed into the hot water pipe 20 without recirculation; however, the energy consumption is also higher.
  • the feed pump 116 is started as soon as a temperature change according to curve 58 or 60 is detected, which is due to the backflow of water into the feed pump 116.
  • a temperature change according to profile 56 can also be detected and is a sign of a tap. It can then be verified that actually (after detection of a finite Flow rate in pump operation) water from the hot water tank 14 has reached the feed pump 116 directly via the second connection 28.
  • the feed pump 116 can also be operated until the tap is stopped to determine the length of the hot water tap.
  • the self-learning device 48 can take the results obtained thereby into account in the user pattern.
  • the thermally insulated housing 150 enables a defined detection of the strong temperature changes (curves 58 or 60) due to the backflow of hot water from the hot water tank 14 via the second connection 28 into the feed pump 116.
  • the solution according to the invention enables a self-learning method to be implemented in which a user pattern can be detected by means of the pump device 30.
  • the user pattern can be detected regardless of whether the feed pump 116 is in operation or not.
  • a comfortable and energy-saving mode of operation results.
  • a user pattern can be detected and then also used without external sensors being provided with respect to the pump device 30.
