Description

Heating system for a building with multiple rooms
The invention relates to a heating system for a (large) building with multiple rooms, at least comprising: a central heater, a temperature sensor, a control unit, a heat emission organ and an actuator, wherein the central heater is connected to the heat emission organ via the actuator, and wherein the actuator's operation is depending on the control unit. The heat emission organ can be a conventional radiator but can also be a floor or wall heating system, based on heated fluids or an electrical heating system.
Such a heating system that is known from the prior art is conventionally applied wherein the control unit acts jointly on all the actuators simultaneously depending on a temperature as measured with the temperature sensor. One notable disadvantage of this already known system is that some rooms are heated to a possibly higher temperature than desired and other rooms are possibly insufficiently heated to a temperature lower than desired. A further disadvantage is that energy usage in this known building is not optimal.
It is an object of the invention to reduce the energy consumption of the known building and make the system more apt to adjust to the individual needs of the building's occupants.
It is another object of the invention to provide means for upgrading existing heating systems of (large) buildings in order to provide it with features that enable more efficient energy use and a use of the system which is tailored to the requirements of the building's users.
The system of the invention has the features of one or more of the appended claims.
In a first aspect of the invention a heating system for a building with multiple rooms is proposed, the system comprising multiple modules, each module comprising at least one temperature sensor, at least one heat emission organ and at least one actuator, and wherein each single module is assigned to a single room in said building, and wherein the temperature sensor of each module is embodied with control intelligence for direct control of the actuator of such module.
This enables an individual control of the temperature in each single room of the building which brings about corresponding costs and energy savings, and an improved comfort and living environment for the users of the building.
Preferably the temperature sensor and the actuator of each module are arranged for wireless communication with each other. The application of wireless communication has the further advantage that current heating systems applied in existing buildings can be easily upgraded to the benefits of the invention without requirement of having to install expensive wired temperature sensors and actuators which also saves on time to upgrade those systems to provide it with the features of the invention.
Preferably also the control unit entertains wireless communication with the temperature sensor and the actuator in any module, which makes it possible to apply a master temperature control for each room in the building.
The invention makes possible that for each module the control unit and/or the temperature sensor of such module is arranged to control the actuator of such module to switch the heat emission organ of that module on or off depending on a temperature as measured by the temperature sensor of any such module. If the control unit sends individual signals to the respective actuators of the modules, these signals are thus also based on the temperature as measured by the temperature sensors in the concerning modules, which individually measure the temperature of each room and relay this data to the control unit. Apart from the local individual control of the actuator(s) of a module by the temperature sensor in such module, the control unit thus provides the possibility to centrally control the operation of the actuator within each module individually, depending on the signals received from the temperature sensor of each module, so as to turn on or off the heat emission organ of that particular module. The heating system of the invention enables to individually regulate the temperature in each single room, enabling improved energy savings as compared to prior art heating systems. This purpose is further promoted by arranging that each module is equipped with an energy consumption meter.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of a heating system according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing: - figure 1 shows a heating system according to the invention; -figure 2 shows a single module forming part of the heating system of figure 1;
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same or similar parts. Figure 1 shows the heating system 1 of the invention comprising a heater 4, a control unit 6 and multiple modules 5, one module a time being installed in each room 3 of a building 2. The heater 4 is connected to the modules 5 and provides said modules 5 with heat.
As shown in figure 2, each module 5 comprises a temperature sensor 7, an actuator 9 and a heat emission organ 8.
The temperature sensor 7 of each module 5 is embodied with control intelligence for direct control of the actuator 9 of such module 5, thus providing local individual control of the temperature in the room where the concerning module 5 is placed. Preferably the temperature sensor 7 and the actuator 9 of each module 5 are arranged for wireless communication with each other.
Further, it is preferred that the control unit 6 is also arranged to entertain communication with the temperature sensor 7 and the actuator 9 of each module 5, which communication is preferably also wireless. The control unit 6 is equipped to receive signals from the temperature sensor 7 located within a module 5 and to send signals to the actuator 9 located within said module 5, instructing said actuator 9 to switch the heat emission organ 8 in said module 5 on or off. Each module 5 may also be equipped with an energy consumption meter 10.
Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the heating system of the invention, the invention is not restricted to this particular embodiment which can be varied in many ways without departing from the invention. The discussed exemplary embodiment shall therefore not be used to construe the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiment is merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to this exemplary embodiment. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using this exemplary embodiment.
