Abstract:
A method of balancing a heating system with a flow system, including a supply flow line (60) and a return flow line (70), a heat source (55) and a pump (10) hydraulic lines (L1-Ln), some having a heating element (H1-Hn) with a balancing valve (V1-Vn). The method includes: carrying out one or more measurements by opening one hydraulic line only and determining a flow rate through the pump and a pressure difference across the pump, establishing a hydraulic model based on the determined flow rate and pressure difference from at least two measurements from step, and at least one additional measurement for at least two hydraulic lines, specifying a desired flow rate for each of the hydraulic lines, and adjusting one or more of the dedicated balancing valves in order to meet the desired flow rate for each of the hydraulic lines by using the hydraulic model.
Abstract:
An electronic circuit (1), in particular DC-link circuit, has a high side DC voltage level, an input and an output, the electronic circuit comprising a DC-link capacitor (4), an inrush circuit (3), for limiting an input current to a predetermined level, connected between a supply line (6) of the DC-link capacitor and the input. The inrush circuit includes a charge resistor element (Rc), a switch element (9), connected in parallel with the charge resistor element, and a control (7, 8) controlling the switch element. The control is adapted to turn the switch element on when the input current falls below a predetermined current level. The control includes a trigger control element (8) adapted to detect a differential voltage across the switch element and to turn the switch element off when the detected differential voltage rises above a predetermined threshold voltage. A method is provided for operating the electronic circuit (1).
Abstract:
A pump assembly with an electric drive motor and with an electronics housing (10). The electronics housing in which at least one first electrical circuit board (14) is arranged. On the circuit board electrical contacts (18) are formed. Via the electrical contacts, at least one electronic component (16), in the inside of the electronics housing (10) may be programmed. At least one opening (22), through which the electrical contacts (18) on the circuit board (14) are contactable from the outside, is formed on a wall (20) of the electronics housing (10).
Abstract:
A frequency converter includes an enclosure, in which electrical and electronic components (5, 6, 7, 22) are arranged and which at least partly is designed as a Faraday cage. At least two Faraday cages (4, 9, 15, 29) are provided within the enclosure, in order to improve the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Abstract:
An electric motor includes a signal device (5) for the display of at least two different operating conditions. For this, the signal device (5) includes six light diodes (A1-A6) which, with a running motor, are switched in a flashing manner synchronously to one another but shifted in time, so that they represent the rotational movement of the motor.
Abstract:
A connection housing (11) which arranged outside on the motor housing (9), receives electrical connections as well as electronic components and, with respect to the motor axis, extends peripherally and axially of the motor housing (9). The connection housing (11) has two individual housings (12, 13) which are connected to one another and whose interiors are connected.
Abstract:
A diagnosis method for the diagnosis of the correct function of a heating and/or cooling system with at least one load circuit (6), through which a fluid flows as a heat transfer medium. For the diagnosis an opening degree (Vpos,n) of the load circuit (6) is changed for changing the flow. Subsequently a differential pressure (Hpu) across the load circuit (6) and/or a volume flow of a fluid flowing through the load circuit (6) is detected and the detected values, or at least a value derived from the detected values, are/is compared to at least one predefined system limit value.
Abstract:
A pump assembly (2) includes an electric drive motor (14) and with at least one impeller (18) which is driven by the motor. The impeller is movable in an axial direction (X) between at least one first and one second position. The impeller in the first axial position is situated in a first flow path through the pump assembly and delivers a fluid through this first flow path. The impeller in the second position is situated in a second flow path through the pump assembly and delivers a fluid through this second flow path. The pump assembly (2) is configured such that a movement of the impeller (18), between the first and the second position at least in one direction, is effected by a hydraulic force which acts on the impeller (18) and is produced by the delivered fluid. A heating installation is provided with such a pump assembly.
Abstract:
A heating or cooling installation control valve includes a movable valve element which is arranged in a valve space (8), as well as at least two connection channels (24, 26) which each have a first end in fluidic connection with the valve space (8) and have an opposite second end (A, B) for connection to a fluid-leading component. A sealing element (18) is arranged in at least one of the connection channels (24, 26) at a first end thereof. The sealing element is in contact with the valve element (6). The at least one connection channel (24, 26), in which the sealing element (18) is arranged, in addition to the second end (A, B), includes an assembly opening, through which the sealing element (18) can be inserted into the connection channel (24) and removed from of the connection channel (24).
Abstract:
The centrifugal pump (1) includes several pump stages which are arranged axially between a head part (4) and a foot part (2). An outer casing (3) peripherally surrounds the pump stages. An axial end of the outer casing (3) is fastened on the head part and the other axial end of the outer casing (3) is fastened on the foot part. A mechanical connection between the head part (4) and the foot part (2) is formed by the outer casing (3).
