摘要: A heater arrangement system for a water provision system for controlling a water supply provided to a water outlet, the water outlet being arranged to provide heated water to a user, the heater arrangement system comprising: a water heating device disposed remotely from the water outlet; and a control unit communicatively coupled to the water heating device, the control unit being configured to: receive a request from a user to enable a reduced temperature water supply mode, which provides for heated water to be supplied to the water outlet at a first temperature for a fixed period of time and then provides for the temperature to be lowered to a second temperature once the fixed time has elapsed; and for a user for which the request has been received, upon detecting that the user has opened the water outlet, providing heated water at the first temperature for a first period of time, then reducing the temperature of the heated water from the first temperature to a second temperature lower than the first temperature after the first period of time has elapsed.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of modulating energy consumption by a water provision system, the water provision system comprising a heat pump configured to transfer thermal energy from the surrounding to a thermal energy storage medium and a control module configured to control operation of the water provision system, the water provision system being configured to provide water heated by the thermal energy storage medium to a water outlet, the method being performed by the control module and comprising: upon determining that the water outlet is turned on, determining an elapse time from an initial time when the method is implemented; setting a temperature for heated water being provided to the water outlet based on the elapse time; and progressively reducing the temperature for heated water being provided to the water outlet as the elapse time increases until a target temperature is reached.

摘要: An installation includes an in-building hot water supply system, a hot water heat pump, an energy storage arrangement containing a mass of phase change material and a heat exchanger coupled between the hot water system and the heat pump, and a processor to provide a signal to the heat pump based on the opening of an outlet of the hot water supply system. The mass of phase change material has enough latent heat capacity to heat to a predetermined temperature a predetermined quantity of water in the interval from the opening of an outlet of the hot water supply system until at least the heat pump begins to heat water in the hot water supply system. Also provided is a method of controlling a heat pump in such an installation.
