Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to control of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning installations and of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning systems. More particularly, the present disclosure focuses on a control device for and on a method for heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning. The instant disclosure also relates to heating, ventilation, air-conditioning installations with a control device as disclosed hereinafter.
  • HVAC heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning
  • Each circuit comprises one or several terminal units to provide heating and/or cooling to various parts of a structure.
  • Terminal units generally are heating devices or cooling devices.
  • a terminal unit of a domestic heating system can, for instance, be a radiator.
  • Hydraulic resistances generally relate pressure drop and flow of a heating medium or flow of a coolant.
  • HVAC installations in particular heating and cooling systems, require hydronic balancing.
  • Hydronic balancing overcomes issues due to different hydraulic resistances of the circuits of a HVAC installation.
  • Hydronic balancing of heating installations of commercial, residential and/or industrial sites ensures that each circuit of a system experiences adequate flow.
  • parts of a building will be oversupplied or may be undersupplied with heat. That is, the HVAC system may not be able to supply the heating or the cooling as required. The HVAC system will thus operate inefficiently. Also, parts of a structure may experience excessive flow.
  • DE202012012915U1 teaches a heating- and/or cooling system.
  • the system comprises a plurality of heat exchangers HK1-HK3 as well as a pump 3.
  • an adjustable valve is associated with each heat exchanger HK1-HK3.
  • the system according to DE202012012915U1 starts with a given setting of each valve. It then monitors temperatures in the various zones of a structure. A valve stroke is then adjusted for each valve in accordance with the temperature rise in the respective zones. The process iterates until the target values for each zone are attained. The system finally reduces the capacity of the pump 3 and also lowers the settings of each valve until the speed of the pump 3 attains a minimum.
  • EP3115703A1 discloses a system with a plurality of heat exchangers 10 - 12 and with valves 7 - 9 associated with the heat exchangers 10 - 12.
  • a pump 2 conveys flow of a fluid through a circuit of the system.
  • the system starts with adjusting each of the valves 7 - 9 to a position different from a closed position.
  • the system then records a temperature rise quantity for each zone supplied by the system.
  • the system according to EP3115703A1 determines rates of change for each zone.
  • the system employs the determined changes in temperature to set limit positions for the valves 7 - 9.
  • WO2013034358A1 An international patent application WO2013034358A1 was filed on 23 July 2012 and was published on 14 March 2013.
  • WO2013034358A1 teaches a method for operating and/or monitoring a HVAC system.
  • a dependence of energy flow on the flow of a medium is empirically determined for a given heat exchanger 11 - 13.
  • a value of flow is then determined at which energy flow and/or temperature drop level off.
  • a flow of energy or a temperature drop of a particular heat exchanger may increase only marginally by raising flow beyond the determined flow value.
  • the method according to WO2013034358A1 requires knowledge of a temperature drop over a given heat exchanger 11 - 13.
  • the method according to WO2013034358A1 also relies on measured flow values through a heat exchanger 11 - 13.
  • DE102014102275A1 was filed on 21 February 2014 .
  • the patent application DE102014102275A1 was published on 27 August 2015 .
  • DE102014102275A1 discloses control of a heating and/or air conditioning installation.
  • the present disclosure improves on control devices and on control methods for HVAC installations.
  • the instant disclosure aims at providing hydronic balancing without requiring measurements of temperature drop and/or measurements of flow through individual heat exchangers.
  • the present disclosure optimizes hydronic balancing without a priori knowledge of flow values or of values of temperature drop in a circuit. Also, no prior knowledge of components and system characteristics is required.
  • a control device and a method according to the instant disclosure yield continuous adjustments and/or improvements of limit positions of valves. The control device and the method confer advantages in environments that evolve over time due to changes in occupancy, in system characteristics or in outdoor temperature.
  • the instant disclosure teaches a control device and a method wherein a characteristic position is determined for each valve and/or for each zone of a structure.
  • the characteristic positions are typically determined for a given time span such as a day. Normalised positions are produced by referring each characteristic position to its limit value.
  • measures indicative of comfort are determined for each zone of the structure.
  • the system may, by way of non-limiting example, determine measures such as average deviations from target values, standard deviations and/or variances. The determined measures are used to produce deviation measures. Deviation measures can, by way of non-limiting example, be produced by referring these measures to their average values or median values.
  • a control algorithm such as a proportional, integral and/or derivative control algorithm relies on the deviation measures as input values.
  • the control algorithm eventually yields equal comfort in each zone. That is, each zone eventually exhibits the same deviation measure.
  • the output values of the control algorithm for the individual valves are merged with the limit values of each individual valve to produce merged individual values.
  • a merged individual value of a valve is the sum of the output signal produced for the valve and of the limit position of the valve. New limit positions for the valves are finally determined as a function of the merged individual values. It is envisaged to either rely on a single such value or to average a time series of such values. The values can, by way of non-limiting example, be averaged over a time span of several days.
