    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for operating the hydronic system, which includes monitoring, by a control unit, a volume of hot water in a hot storage tank via a first set of flowmeters and a volume of chilled water in a cold storage tank via a set of second flowmeters. A first outlet temperature of the hot water is monitored by the control unit, via a first temperature sensor and a second outlet temperature of the chilled water via a second temperature sensor. A heat pump unit is operated by control unit, for recharging the hot water and the chilled water within the hot storage tank and the cold storage tank respectively. The heat pump unit is operated when a respective predetermined limit reaches for at least one of the volume of the hot water, the volume of the chilled water, the first outlet temperature and second outlet temperature.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system for the production of hot or cold water including: a water reservoir suitable for supplying water to a thermal conditioning device, and/or to a tap; a refrigeration unit having heat exchangers, of which one of the two heat exchanger is immersed in a water receptacle; pipes providing communication between the water reservoir, the water receptacle, a water network, the tap and thermal conditioning devices. The system further includes a box body containing the refrigeration unit and a ventilation mechanism configured to generate an airflow passing through the heat exchangers of the refrigerating unit.

    摘要: A controller interface (B12) between a hot water tank controller (B13) and a heat pump controller (B2) in a heating system is provided. The controller interface (B12) comprises a response module configured to receive, from the hot water tank controller (B13), a first signal indicative of a temperature. The response module provides a response signal based on the first signal and a temperature response characteristic and communicates the response signal to the heat pump controller (B2). The controller interface (B12) enables interoperability of a heat pump controller (B2) and a legacy hot water tank system and hot water tank controller (B13).

    摘要: A rotary apparatus for inputting thermal energy into fluidic medium is provided, the apparatus comprises: a casing with at least one inlet and at least one outlet; a rotor comprising at least one row of rotor blades configured as impulse impeller blades arranged over a circumference of a rotor hub mounted onto a rotor shaft; at least one row of stationary nozzle guide vanes arranged upstream of the at least one row of the rotor blades, respectively; and at least one row of stationary diffuser vanes arranged downstream of the at least one row of the rotor blades, respectively. The apparatus is configured to impart an amount of thermal energy to a stream of fluidic medium directed along a flow path formed inside the casing between the inlet and the outlet by virtue of a series of energy transformations occurring when said stream of fluidic medium successively passes through the blade/vane rows formed by the nozzle guide vanes, the rotor blades and the diffuser vanes, respectively, wherein, in said apparatus, a space formed between an exit from the at least one row of diffuser vanes and an entrance to the at least one row of nozzle guide vanes in a direction of the flow path formed inside the casing between the inlet and the outlet is made variable to regulate the amount of thermal energy input to the stream of fluidic medium propagating through the apparatus. Related uses and a method for inputting thermal energy into a fluidic medium are further provided.
