Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydronic heating/cooling system. In the system, liquid is led along a main supply pipe (1) to a supply manifold (2) and distributed in the manifold into heating loops (3). The heating loops (3) return to return manifold (4). At least one of the manifolds (2, 4) has actuators (6) for controlling the flow in the heating loops (3). At least one loop is designated to be a bypass loop. The actuators (6) in the loops (3) are monitored and it is ensured that the actuator (6) of the bypass loop is open if all the other actuators (6) are closed.

A heating apparatus includes two heating circuits (3, 4), one for room heating (3) and one for domestic water heating (4). A primary heat exchanger (1) is provided as well as at least one secondary heat exchanger (7), for the room heating as well as a secondary heat exchanger (9) for domestic water heating. A circulation pump (6) is provided as well as a switch-over valve (5) which hydraulically integrates the primary heat exchanger (1) into the first or into the second heating circuit (3, 4). The heating circuit (4) for the domestic water heating, on operation of the heating circuit (3) for room heating, is used as a bypass conduit for the primary heat exchanger (1), wherein the switch-over valve (5) forms the bypass valve or is used as a bypass valve.
Abstract:
The present invention features a multizone conversion system for converting a single zone system into a multizone system. The multizone conversion system is designed to require minimal renovations and does not require extensive new wiring. Each room within the new multizone system has its own thermostat controls and each room can be set to its own specific temperature. The multizone conversion system does not require new piping to and from the boiler. Each thermostat is equipped with a temperature sensing device, temperature setting controls, an LCD monitor or display and an RF circuit that includes an RF transmitter and an RF receiver. Each heating element within the room is outfitted with an input device that contains an RF circuit, a switching valve and a battery compartment. The thermostat communicates wirelessly with the output device located in the room and control the flow of the heated water through the existing heating element or alternatively through a bypass pipe if heat is not required.

The heating device includes a valve unit, which is configured to mix the fluid in the fluid discharge line with fluid from the fluid supply line, upstream from an outlet.
Abstract:
A manifold (15) comprising a flow chamber (35) for receiving flow heat exchange water from respective heat sources (3, 5, 7) through first inlet ports (47, 48) and from which the flow heat exchange water is delivered to heat exchange circuits (8, 9) through flow ports (57, 58). A return chamber (36) in the manifold (15) for receiving return heat exchange water from the heat exchange circuits (8, 9) through return ports (57, 58), and from which the return heat exchange water is returned to some of the heat sources (3, 5, 7) through first outlet ports (53, 54). A bypass chamber (37) located in the manifold (15) between the flow chamber (35) and the return chamber (36) receives flow water from the flow chamber (35), which has not been drawn off by the heat exchange circuits (8, 9), through a communicating passageway (40). Heat exchange water from the bypass chamber (37) is returned through second outlet ports (55, 56) to others of the heat sources (3, 5, 7).

Abstract:
A hot-water heat pump that is capable of reducing installation costs and installation space and also reducing the heating time of a hot-water route, and a method of controlling the same are provided. The hot-water heat pump (1) is provided with a hot-water-heat-pump main unit (2) that includes a thermal output heat exchanger that absorbs heat from a heat-source route and outputs heat; hot-water route (5 and 6) that receive heat outputted from the thermal output heat exchanger; a three-way valve (4) provided in the outlet-side hot-water route (6); and a controller that controls the hot-water-heat-pump main unit (2) and the three-way valve (4), wherein the controller controls the size of openings of the three-way valve (4) so that a portion of the outlet-side hot-water route (6) leading out of the thermal output heat exchanger is guided to an upstream side of the thermal output heat exchanger.
Abstract:
In a method for operating a heating system, a heating circuit medium is guided in an overall heating circuit and in first and second sub-heating circuits connected to the overall heating circuit. A heating circuit medium volumetric flow through the sub-heating circuits is defined by a valve device and fed to the second sub-heating circuit via a first valve device connection and/or guided via a second valve device connection. The heating circuit medium volumetric flow is fed via a connection of the valve device connected to the overall heating circuit. If necessary, the heating circuit medium volumetric flow is fed to the first sub-heating circuit via the second connection of the valve device, and if necessary, the heating circuit medium volumetric flow is delivered via a bypass on the second sub-heating circuit. If necessary, the heating circuit volumetric flow is guided through a buffer store at the bypass.
