    摘要: The disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, and a storage medium for controlling heating system. The method includes: establishing an objective function and constraints for estimating system parameters of the heating system, in which the heating system includes nodes, pipelines and equivalent branches, the equivalent branch is configured to represent a heating resource or a heating load in the heating system, the system parameters include a resistance coefficient of each of the pipelines and equivalent branches, and a heat dissipation coefficient of each of the pipelines; solving the objective function based on the constraints to obtain the system parameters; modeling the heating system based on the obtained system parameters to obtain control parameters of the heating system; and controlling the heating system based on the control parameters.

    摘要: An apparatus for recovering heat in an ablutionary or plumbing system includes first and second pipes for carrying fluids at different temperatures. A first heat transfer element is configured to be thermally coupled to the first pipe and a second heat transfer element configured to be thermally coupled to the second pipe, with each having an elongate portion extending in a direction away from the associated pipe. The elongate portions of the first and second heat transfer elements at least partially overlap. A thermoelectric device is provided that includes one or more thermoelectric elements located between the elongate portions, the thermoelectric element(s) being in thermal communication with the elongate portion of the first heat transfer element and the elongate portion of the second heat transfer element and being arranged to generate electricity from a temperature differential between the elongate portions of the first and second heat transfer elements.
