摘要:
For controlling an HVAC component (3), a physical identifier object (5) associated with the HVAC component (3) is arranged in an area (41) with access to a wireless network (6) and at a location distant and separated from the HVAC component (3). Identifier information is obtained from the physical identifier object (5) by a mobile communication device (1) and transmitted via the wireless network (6) to a remote computer system (2). The remote computer system (2) returns HVAC component data linked to the identifier information. The mobile communication device (1) uses the component data for generating a user interface (100) for an HVAC virtual room unit for controlling the HVAC component (3). User commands received via the user interface (100) are transmitted by the mobile communication device (1) via the remote computer system (2) to the HVAC component (3) for controlling the HVAC component (3).

A fluid transportation network (1) comprises a plurality of parallel zones (Z1, Z2), fed by a common supply line (L), with a regulating zone valve (V1, V2) in each zone (Z1, Z2) for regulating a flow of fluid (ϕ1, ϕ2) through the respective zone (Z1, Z2). A processing unit (RE) receives valve positions (pos1, pos2) of the regulating zone valves (V1, V2) and determines and sets an adjusted valve position for a line valve (VE) arranged in the supply line (L), depending on the valve positions (pos1, pos2) of the regulating zone valves (V1, V2). A processing unit (RE) further receives a measurement of a total flow of fluid (ϕtot) through the supply line (L) and determines and sets adjusted valve positions for the regulating zone valves (V1, V2), depending on the measurement of the total flow of fluid (ϕtot) through the supply line (L).
摘要:
To balance (S3) a group of consumers in a fluid transport system in which each consumer is provided with a motorized control valve for regulating the flow through the consumer, characteristic data for the consumers is stored (S2) which determines a valve position of the relevant control valve for target flows through one of the consumers in each case. A current total flow through the group of consumers is determined by means of a common flow sensor (S32) and a balance factor (S34) is defined on the basis of the current total flow and a sum of the desired target flows through the consumers. The consumers are dynamically balanced by setting (S31) the valve settings for the corresponding control valves on the basis of the characteristic data and the balance factor.

A control valve (2) for regulating a fluid flow in an HVAC comprises a valve body (21) and a temperature sensor (25) configured to measure the temperature of a fluid (24) flowing within the control valve (2). The temperature sensor (25) is arranged such that the temperature sensor (25) is essentially thermally decoupled from the valve body (21).

An actuator (1) comprises an electric motor (11) for moving an actuated part (2) to an actuated position. The actuator (1) further comprises a controller (10) connected to the electric motor (11) and configured to determine a motor current of the electric motor (11) and to detect motor rotations. The controller (10) is further configured to determine the actuated position by counting the motor rotations detected while the motor current is at or above a current threshold indicative of a load torque, and by not counting motor rotations detected while the motor current is below said current threshold.

For controlling the opening of a valve (10) in an HVAC system (100) to regulate the flow φ of a fluid through a thermal energy exchanger (2) of the HVAC system (100) and adjust the amount of energy E exchanged by the thermal energy exchanger (2), determined are the flow φ through a valve (10) and the temperature difference ΔT=Tin−Tout between the supply temperature Tin of the fluid entering the thermal energy exchanger (2) and the return temperature Tout of the fluid exiting the thermal energy exchanger (2). The opening of the valve (10) is controlled depending on the flow φ and the temperature difference ΔT. For example, the opening of the valve (10) is controlled depending on a control criterion c=f(φ,ΔT), calculated from the flow φ and the temperature difference ΔT.

The present disclosure is directed towards a method of controlling opening of a valve (10) in an HVAC system (100). The method includes controlling the opening of the valve (10) according to a default control mode in dependence of a default sensor signal. The method further includes determining, while controlling the opening of the valve (10) according to the default control mode, whether the default sensor signal is faulty and switching, in case of the default sensor signal being faulty, to controlling the opening of the valve (10) according to a fallback control mode, with the opening of the valve (10) being controlled independently of the faulty sensor signal in the fallback control mode. The present invention is further directed towards a corresponding control device opening of a valve (10) in an HVAC system as well as a corresponding computer program product.

A method of detecting an operating condition of a controllable flow regulator in a fluid flow channel of an HVAC system, comprising transmitting a sonic signal, from a sonic transmitter, directly or indirectly to the flow regulator, the sonic signal being distinguished from background noise by being at least one of: (i) modulated according to a modulation schema, (ii) an ultrasonic signal, (iii) a frequency selected to be away from background noise, receiving a signal from a sonic receiver for detecting the transmitted signal after interacting with the flow regulator; and determining, in an electronic signal processor, the operating condition of the flow regulator on the basis of the signal received.
摘要:
For balancing a hydronic network that comprises a plurality of parallel zones with a regulating valve in each zone, individual flow characteristics are determined (S1) for each of the regulating valves, by recording the total flow of fluid measured at different valve positions of a respective regulating valve, while the remaining other regulating valves are set to a closed valve position. Dependent flow characteristics are determined (S2) by recording the total flow of fluid measured at different valve positions of the respective regulating valve, while the remaining other regulating valves are set to an open valve position. Correction factors are determined (S3) for each of the regulating valves, using the individual flow characteristics and the dependent flow characteristics. The hydronic network is balanced (S4) by setting the valve positions of the regulating valves using target flows and the correction factors.
