摘要:
In a device including a first calibrated or adjustable orifice and a second orifice located downstream of the first orifice, the opening of the second orifice is adjusted by a valve whereof the position is controlled by apparatus displacing the valve depending on the pressure difference prevailing between upstream and downstream of the first orifice and by apparatus producing a displacement depending on the temperature of the premises wherein the device is located. The device is mounted in two separate bodies, mutually linked, a first body corresponding to the first orifice and a second body corresponding to the second orifice. The device enables to produce both automatic hydraulic balancing and thermostatic control.

A water heating apparatus having structure for recovering sensible and latent heat from flue gases generated in a heater thereof and transferring the heat to water to be heated. The apparatus has a closed circuit for liquid, such as water, in which are positioned two heat exchangers. One of the heat exchangers is positioned in the heater of the apparatus for transferring heat from a burner of the heater to liquid in the closed circuit. The other heat exchanger is positioned in a water pass-through system to heat the water therein. The apparatus has an air pass-through system for carrying flue gases from the heater out an exhaust pipe. The flue gases travel through a third heat exchanger positioned in the water pass-through system whereby sensible and latent heat from the flue gases are transferred to water in the water pass-through system, further heating the water therein.

The invention concerns a device for provoking the collapse of a snow cornice comprising several exploders (11). Each exploder (11) consists of a main cylinder (12), perpendicular to the support base (14) arranged flat on the ground, and a positioning tube (13) connected to the main cylinder and mounted on a rigid seat (15) fixed to the mountain side. A supply conduit (20), connected by conduits (23, 24) respectively to an oxygen cylinder and a propane cylinder stored in a shelter (22), supplies via conduit sections (9) a detonating gas mixture, obtained from two gases, into the positioning tube (13) and into the main cylinder (12). Igniting means (21) mounted upstream of the supply conduit (20) ensure the ignition of the detonating gas mixture.

Decentralized centrifugal pumps (62) with variable speed drivers located at cooling or heating coils (74) are utilized to circulate and regulate liquid through the coils, main supply line (42), and main return line (48). Pump speed is controlled to satisfy temperature or pressure settings of a control agent served by the coil. Central distribution pumps, modulating control valves, and balancing valves are no longer required to circulate and regulate the flow. Without the balancing valves and control valves, there will be less pressure drops and waterpower losses in the piping system. Thus, the decentralized pumping system will require less pump power and energy consumption than the central pumping system.

In a system for supplying a heat by a heat medium, a heat discharged from a customer requiring only a high temperature heat is effectively utilized, and respective prices paid by the customer requiring only the high temperature heat and a customer requiring only a low temperature heat are reduced. In this system, a heat medium discharged by the customer requiring only the high temperature heat is recovered so as to be fed to the customer requiring only the low temperature heat. At this time, a temperature, an amount of flow and the like of the heat medium at an access port of the customer are measured by measuring devices, an amount of heat used by the customer is comprehended, a unit value of the amount of heat is set to be higher in accordance that an arithmetic average of a specific enthalpy of the heat medium at the access port of the customer is higher, and a unit value of the amount of heat of the customer that does not recover the heat medium is set on the basis of an arithmetic average of a specific enthalpy of the heat mediums between at the access port and at a normal temperature and a normal pressure.

A control system for the room temperature in large area heating systems comprises a feed-line manifold and a return-line manifold and for each heating loop an electrically activated throttle valve. A control-unit automatically adjusts the throttle degree of each heating loop so that the temperature difference between the feed-line temperature and the return-line temperature of each heating loop is the same.

A method and apparatus are provided for self-programmable temperature and usage control for a hot water heater. A plurality of user entered selections are received. Idle periods of a set time duration are detected and stored. Responsive to an idle period start time, a control temperature is set to a lower than normal temperature. Responsive to an idle period end time, the control temperature is set to a normal temperature. A sleep mode is automatically started responsive to idle times, and a vacation mode is automatically started responsive to an identified number of days of no water usage. In the sleep mode, the control temperature is set to a lower than normal temperature. In the vacation mode, the control temperature is set to a substantially lower than normal temperature or the water heater is turned off. The user entered selections can include a normal temperature, a sleep temperature for the idle periods, and a vacation temperature. The user entered selections can include the set time duration for idle periods and the number of days of no water usage for the vacation mode. The user entered selections can include manual overrides of idle periods, auto control and learning mode.

A modular manifold includes master modules and possibly also slave modules which each provide a respective terminal unit with a relatively constant rate of water flow at a modulated supply water temperature.
摘要:
A high-efficiency hydronic heating system will make use of a direct-fired steam generator to directly heat the water in the hydronic heating system. The products of combustion, present with the steam due to the steam generator being direct-fired, are also introduced into the hydronic heating system water. Before venting the products of combustion from the packed column, heat from these products of combustion is extracted in a secondary heat exchanger to preheat the combustion air before it is used in the direct-fired steam generator. Water is a product of combustion. Over time, this excess water will overfill the hydronic heating system if it is not removed. A water dump system is used for the removal of the excess water. By measuring the water removed and the fuel used in the direct-fired steam generator, an efficiency can be calculated for visual feedback. The products of combustion will also tend to cause the water in the hydronic heating system to become acidic. Based on fuel usage, a basic substance is periodically added to the heating water to raise the PH to acceptable levels. Finally, a two-layer packed column is introduced, providing a lighter product.
