Abstract: A method for adjusting the setpoint temperature of a heat transfer medium circulating in a heating or cooling system (9) inside a building or at least inside a surrounding part of a building. The heating or cooling circuit includes a plurality of heat transferring units, each with a temperature controlled valve. A sum opening degree (OD) of all temperature controlled valves is determined in a time dependent manner and a setpoint temperature Tw,ref of heat transferring medium is controlled according to a predetermined sum opening degree (OD) of all temperature controlled valves. A heating system (9) is provided for supplying heat to a building or a part of the building via a liquid heat transfer medium circulated in a circuit. The heating system (9) includes heat transferring units, each being equipped with a temperature controlled valve. The system is controllable according to the method for adjusting the setpoint temperature.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump assembly has an electric drive motor (2) and at least one impeller (10; 10′), which is movable in an axial direction (X) between at least two functional positions. In one functional position a flow path through the impeller (10; 10′) is essentially closed and in another functional position the flow path through the impeller (10; 10′) is opened. The impeller (10; 10′) in a first functional position is held by a magnetic force (FM) or a spring force and in a second functional position is held by a hydraulic force (FH) produced by a delivered fluid. An impeller is provided for the centrifugal pump assembly.

Abstract: A pump assembly includes an electric drive motor having a stator and a permanent magnet rotor, at least one impeller connected to the rotor via a rotor shaft, a thrust bearing accommodating axial forces acting on the impeller and rotor shaft in operation, and at least one radial bearing arranged on the rotor shaft. The rotor and stator are designed such that a magnetic axial force, acting in the direction of the rotation axis of the rotor and acting on the rotor in the direction of the inflow direction into the impeller, is produced between the rotor and the stator. The rotor shaft and rotor are mounted displaceably in the axial direction relative to the stator, and with an axial displacement of the rotor shaft in the inflow direction into the impeller, the bearing surfaces of the radial bearing lying opposite one another at least partly disengage.

Abstract: A centrifugal pump assembly includes an electric drive motor (6, 8), a driven impeller (14) and a pump casing (2) which surrounds the impeller (14). A movable element (24; 24′) is arranged a valve element. A section of the valve element is movable from a released position into a bearing position, fixed on a contact surface (60), by pressure which is produced by the impeller in the pump casing. A control device (64) moves the valve element from one switching position into another switching position and reduces the speed of the drive motor. Upon pressure in the pump casing dropping such that the valve element is no longer fixed on the contact surface and the valve element has been moved into the other switching position, the control device increases the speed of the drive motor again. A method for moving a valve element is provided.

Abstract: A hydraulic construction unit for a heating facility or air-conditioning facility, includes a return connection (20) and a first feed connection (16) for a heating circuit (6), with a heat source outlet (12) fluid conducting connected to the return connection. A heat source inlet (14) is fluid conducting connected to the first feed connection and to a circulation pump assembly (28) in a flow path between the return connection and the heat source outlet (12) or in a flow path between the heat source inlet and the first feed connection. A second feed connection (18) for a second heating circuit (8), is fluid conducting connected to the heat source inlet and to the return connection. A mixing valve (54) is arranged in a flow path from the heat source inlet to the second feed connection and/or in a flow path from the return connection to the second feed connection.

Abstract: A pump assembly includes an impeller (18), which for rotation is connected to an electrical drive motor (20) which can be driven in two rotation directions (A, B) and a valve (10) situated in an inlet of the pump assembly. The valve includes a valve element (48) movable between at least two switch positions and is connected for movement to a drive element (36, 60) subjected to the flow produced by the impeller (18). The valve element (48), in at least a first of the two switch positions, closes an inlet channel (44, 46) of the pump assembly (12) and is arranged such that the movement direction into this first switch position corresponds to the flow direction (S1, S2) through this inlet channel (44, 46). A hydraulic system is provided with two circuits and such a pump assembly. The valve serves as a switch-over valve between the two circuits.

Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a circulation pump assembly (2) provided with a speed controller (4, 26), a hydraulic circuit (A, B) connected to the circulation pump assembly (2) as well as a mechanical switch device (86, 88; 120, 122; 120″, 122″) which is subjected to pressure from a fluid in the hydraulic circuit (A, B) and which can be moved into at least two different switch positions. The mechanical switch device (28; 86, 28; 120, 122) can be moved by the circulation pump assembly (2) by way of a hydraulic coupling via the fluid. The speed controller is configured to initiate a movement of the switch device (86, 88; 120, 122; 120″, 122″) by way of at least one hydraulic force acting thereon and causing a movement of the switch device (86, 88; 120, 122; 120″, 122″), produced via the hydraulic circuit, via a speed adaptation of the circulation pump assembly.
