  • the present invention relates to a control system and particularly, but not exclusively, to a boiler control system for use with an electric boiler and heat supply network.
  • a boiler control system should satisfy a number of desirable criteria in addition to being reliable and relatively inexpensive.
  • the temperature of liquid in the tank should be finely controlled at a desirable level. This control should be exerted by using a minimal amount of power in the operation of the apparatus.
  • the heat transfer from any heating element to the liquid should be efficient and the tank should reach a desired temperature level reasonably quickly after being switched on.
  • the boiler control apparatus should also be modular to make all parts easily accessible thus minimising problems of maintenance or replacement.
  • the boiler control system and boiler should be very compact and be able to be stored in a small space, for example, a kitchen cupboard, where electricity and water can be supplied, especially when the boiler is used in the domestic scene or in small business premises.
  • Existing electric boiler control systems include a large heating element with an associated thermostat which is immersed in a liquid, usually water, contained in a storage tank. When the boiler is switched on the heating element is actuated and the element is switched off when a thermostat detects the water temperature above a preset level.

  • the heating element uses substantially the same amount of power at all temperature levels of water in the tank. Because of the steep temperature gradients, the thermostatically controlled switching levels of the heating element may be fairly wide, and thus relatively fine control of water temperature, using low power is not obtained. Such fine control may be required, for instance, when the heat supply network is relatively small or requires minimal heating.
  • a single heating element does not result in efficient heat dispersal when used in a tank because liquid in the parts of the tank furthest ' from the heating elements is heated last.

Abstract

On a mis au point un système de commande de chaudière utilisé avec une chaudière électrique (10; 50) et un réseau d'alimentation thermique. Le système de commande de chaudière comprend une pluralité d'éléments de chauffage séparés (20 : 66a, b), dont chacun est agencé pour être actionné indépendamment à une température donnée, en réponse à un signal provenant d'un capteur de température (22 : 60). Dans un mode de réalisation on utilise une sonde unique (60) en combinaison avec des potentiomètres (94) afin de commander la commutation de relais destinés à alimenter en courant les éléments de chauffage respectifs (66a, b). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, à chaque élément de chauffage (20) est associé un thermostat (22) que l'on peut prérégler afin de commander la commutation de courant à l'élément (20).
