Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb einer ein Membranausdehnungsgefäß aufweisenden Heizungsanlage gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for operating a heating system having a membrane expansion vessel according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art ist aus dem Patentdokument
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern. Insbesondere soll ein Verfahren geschaffen werden, mit dem auch ein Gasübertritt von der Gas- zur Wasserseite ermittelbar ist.The invention is based on the object of improving a method of the type mentioned at the beginning. In particular, a method is to be created with which a gas transfer from the gas side to the water side can also be determined.
Diese Aufgabe ist mit einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by a method of the type mentioned at the outset by the features listed in the characterising part of patent claim 1.
Nach der Erfindung ist also vorgesehen, dass zur Prüfung der Funktionstüchtigkeit der Heizungsanlage mit ihrem Membranausdehnungsgefäß ein erster Differenzbetrag zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Druck aus einem Messintervall mit einem zweiten Differenzbetrag zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Druck aus einem anderen Messintervall verglichen und ab einer vorbestimmten Abweichung zwischen den Differenzbeträgen ein Signal erzeugt wird.According to the invention, it is therefore provided that in order to test the functionality of the heating system with its diaphragm expansion vessel, a first difference between the first and second pressure from one measuring interval is compared with a second difference between the first and second pressure from another measuring interval and a signal is generated when a predetermined deviation between the differences occurs.
Mit anderen Worten zeichnet sich die erfindungsgemäße Lösung somit dadurch aus, dass der Vordruck einer Heizungsanlage durch gezielte Auswertung getrendeter Druckdaten automatisch überwacht wird. Dabei ist ein Auswertungsalgorithmus vorgesehen, der es ermöglicht, im Falle eines sinkenden Anlagendrucks die Ursache zu verorten. Außerdem ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Lösung Aussagen über den Zustand des Gaspolsters im Membranausdehnungsgefäß. So ist es möglich, die Überprüfung des Membranausdehnungsgefäßes bei der Wartung anlassbezogen vorzunehmen, falls das notwendig ist. Wird dagegen ein stabiler Vordruck des Membranausdehnungsgefäß detektiert, kann die Überprüfung entfallen. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung reduziert dadurch den Zeitaufwand bei der Anlagenwartung deutlich.In other words, the solution according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the pre-pressure of a heating system is automatically monitored by targeted evaluation of trended pressure data. An evaluation algorithm is provided that makes it possible to locate the cause in the event of a falling system pressure. In addition, the solution according to the invention makes it possible to make statements about the condition of the gas cushion in the diaphragm expansion vessel. This makes it possible to check the diaphragm expansion vessel on an ad hoc basis during maintenance if this is necessary. If, however, a stable pre-pressure of the diaphragm expansion vessel is detected, the check can be omitted. The solution according to the invention therefore significantly reduces the time required for system maintenance.

- einen typischen Verlauf (Druck p über der Zeit t) bei einem Verlust auf der Wasserseite; und
- Figur 2
- einen typischen Verlauf (Druck p über der Zeit t) bei einem Verlust auf der Gasseite.

- a typical curve (pressure p versus time t) for a loss on the water side; and
- Figure 2
- a typical curve (pressure p over time t) for a loss on the gas side.
Die
Wesentlich für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist nun, dass zur Prüfung der Funktionstüchtigkeit der Heizungsanlage mit ihrem Membranausdehnungsgefäß ein erster Differenzbetrag zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Druck aus einem Messintervall mit einem zweiten Differenzbetrag zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Druck aus einem anderen Messintervall verglichen und ab einer vorbestimmten Abweichung zwischen den Differenzbeträgen ein Signal erzeugt wird. Dabei ist besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass in einem Messintervall ermittelte Messdaten (in einem geeigneten Speicher) abgespeichert werden.What is essential for the method according to the invention is that, in order to test the functionality of the heating system with its membrane expansion vessel, a first difference between the first and second pressure from one measuring interval is compared with a second difference between the first and second pressure from another measuring interval and a signal is generated from a predetermined deviation between the differences. In this case, it is particularly preferred that that measurement data determined in a measurement interval are stored (in a suitable memory).
Noch etwas genauer betrachtet, ist dabei besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass bei Initialisierung der Heizungsanlage ein Referenzmittelwert zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Druck gebildet wird, dass während des Betriebs der Heizungsanlage ein Momentanmittelwert zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Druck gebildet wird und dass ab einer vorgegebenen Differenz zwischen dem Referenzmittelwert und dem Momentanmittelwert ein Signal erzeugt wird.Looking at it in more detail, it is particularly preferred that when the heating system is initialized, a reference mean value is formed between the first and second pressure, that during operation of the heating system, an instantaneous mean value is formed between the first and second pressure, and that a signal is generated as of a predetermined difference between the reference mean value and the instantaneous mean value.
Zur Realisierung einer möglichst permanenten Überwachung ist ferner bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass während des Betriebs der Heizungsanlage nach Beendigung eines Messintervalls ein nächstes Messintervall begonnen wird.In order to achieve the most permanent monitoring possible, it is also preferably provided that during operation of the heating system, a next measuring interval is started after completion of a measuring interval.
Mit Bezug auf
Mit Bezug auf
Schließlich ist noch bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass, wenn der erste Differenzbetrag gleich dem zweiten Differenzbetrag ist, ein auf ein vollständig mit Gas gefülltes Membranausdehnungsgefäß hinweisendes Signal erzeugt wird. Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, ist ein vollständiges Fehlen an Druckschwankungen als sicherer Hinweis darauf zu verstehen, dass die sogenannte Wasservorlage aus dem Membranausdehnungsgefäß verdrängt worden ist, also der Vordruck des Membranausdehnungsgefäßes höher als der Druck der Heizungsanlage bei Erwärmung des Heizwassers ist.Finally, it is preferably provided that, if the first difference is equal to the second difference, a membrane expansion vessel completely filled with gas In other words, a complete lack of pressure fluctuations is a sure indication that the so-called water reservoir has been displaced from the diaphragm expansion vessel, i.e. the pre-pressure of the diaphragm expansion vessel is higher than the pressure of the heating system when the heating water is heated.
