Description
- This U.S. National stage application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to European Patent Application No. 08005301.0, filed in Europe on Mar. 20, 2008, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a heating installation and a method for controlling the heating installation. It is, however, to be understood that the present invention may also be incorporated in combined heating and cooling installations and is then implemented for controlling the installation in the heating mode. More particularly, the present invention relates to a heating installation comprising a heat pump, particularly an air-source heat pump, having an outdoor evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion means connected by a refrigerant piping in a cycle; a heating fluid piping passing through the condenser for exchanging a heat between the refrigerant and the heating fluid and at least a first and a second object to be heated by the heating fluid to a first set temperature and a second set temperature.
- In existing systems such a heating installation is controlled based on a set priority. That is, a user manually inputs which of the first and second object is to be served first, if both the first and the second object have a heat demand, i.e. require supply of heating fluid. Hence and independently from the amount of heat which is demanded by the priority object, the priority object is served, whereas the other object is set on hold until the demand of the priority object has been statisfled.
- In case the priority is set to the domestic hot water production, there is a possibility that the indoor temperature is dropping below the level of comfort. In case the priority is set to the space room heating, there may occur discomfort in the domestic hot water production if an insufficient hot water production takes place.
- Hence, it is the object of the present invention to provide a heating installation and a method for controlling a heating installation as described in the introductory part which enables both to prevent severe temperature drops in e.g. rooms to be heated and provide sufficient heating to e.g. hot water in a hot water container at the same time being as efficient as possible.
- This object is solved by a heating installation as defined in claim 1 and a method for controlling the heating installation as defined in claim 9.
- Aspects of the present invention are named in the dependent claims.
- The principle idea of the present invention is to provide the heating installation with an adaptive control which controls the supply of heating fluid to a first and second object to be heated based on a comparison of the heating demand of the first and second object. Hence, the present invention considers both heating demands of the objects to be heated compares the demands and based on the comparison decides which of the first and second object is to be served first, i.e. supplied with heating fluid.
- The heating installation of the present invention comprises a heat pump having an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and a expansion means connected by a refrigerant piping in a cycle. It is to be understood that the heat pump in a combined heating and cooling installation may also be operated in a cooling mode, that is reversed compared to the heating mode. In the cooling mode, the evaporator will then serve the condenser and the condenser will serve as the evaporator of the heat pump. Furthermore, the heating installation of the present invention comprises a heating fluid piping passing through the condenser for exchanging heat between the refrigerant and the heating fluid as well as at least a first and a second object to be heated by the heating fluid to a fist set temperature and a second set temperature, respectively. In addition, in order to selectively supply heating fluid to heat the first object or the second object, the heating installation of the present invention comprises a valve which is at least switchable between a first position for supplying heating fluid to heat the first object and a second position for supplying heating fluid to heat the second object. In addition, at least two sensors are provided for detecting the first and the second actual temperature at the first and the second object, respectively. The control of the heating installation of the present invention is configured to, in a demand dependent mode, determine a first demand based on at least the first set temperature and the first actual temperature and a second demand based on at least the second set temperature and the second actual temperature and based on the first and second demand switches the valve to the first and the second position to either serve the first object or the second object, hence, satisfying the first or the second demand (heating demand). It is to be understood that the first demand is determined based on at least the first set temperature and the first actual temperature but other parameters may also be considered in determining the demands, such as time and temperature concurrent. If these parameters other than the said temperatures are sufficiently significant, the demand may also be determined based on these parameters only. Further, the first demand and the second demand may be determined based on at least the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature.
- In a preferred embodiment, the control is configured to switch the valve to the first position if the first demand is higher than the second demand and to switch the valve to the second position if the second demand is higher than the first demand. Self-evident the control is configured to switch the valve to the first position, if there is no second demand and to switch the valve into the second position, if there is no first demand. Nevertheless, even if there are a first demand and a second demand and according to this preferred embodiment, the control switches the valve so as to serve the higher demand.
- As previously indicated, it is considered preferred that the first object is at least one heat emitter which is arranged in a room to be heated, wherein the heat emitter on an upstream side thereof is connected to the heating fluid piping via said valve. According to one preferred embodiment, the heat emitter comprises a floor heating loops or may entirely consist of a floor heating loops. However, also a combination of radiators and floor heating loops may form the heat emitter of the present invention.
- In this embodiment it is preferred that the first actual temperature is the actual flow temperature to the heat emitter, i.e. the flow temperature of the heating fluid to the heat emitter and the first set temperature is the desired flow temperature to the heat emitter, which may be required to obtain the desired room temperature.
- Moreover and as also previously indicated, the second object is water contained in a hot water container. According to one embodiment a portion of a pipe, the upstream side of which being connected to the heating fluid piping via said valve, is connected to a heat exchanger for transferring the heat from the heating fluid to the water. According to another embodiment, the portion of the pipe forms the heat exchanger and passes, e.g. in form of a coil, through the interior of the hot water container, thereby transferring the heat from the heating fluid to the water.
- In this embodiment, it is preferred that the second actual temperature is the actual water temperature of the water contained in the hot water container and to be heated and the second set temperature is the desired temperature of said water.
- Further and to in order to enable the user to select between the preferred demand dependent mode and a priority mode the control has an input device for selecting the mode, wherein in the priority mode a priority is manually set with respect to the first or the second object. The input device may also comprise an input element, such as a bottom, for selecting a boosting mode, in which an additional heater in the hot water container is manually activated to quickly heat up the water in the container if required.
- Furthermore and as previously mentioned, the present invention also provides a method for controlling a heating installation as described above. The control method comprises the steps of calculating a first demand based on at least the first set temperature and the first actual temperature and a second demand based on at least the second set temperature and the second actual temperature, comparing the first and second demand and heating either the first object or the second object based on the comparison, that is to either supply heating fluid to the first, object or to the second object.

FIG. 2 the outdoor unit comprises an evaporator and/orcondenser 14, a four-way valve 16, acompressor 15 and anexpansion device 13, which is may be an electric valve or a capillary. Theindoor unit 20 inter alia comprises a condenser/evaporator 25. These components form a heat pump. Hence, the evaporator/condenser 14, thecompressor 15, the condenser/evaporator 25 and the expansion device (means) 13 are connected in this order in a cycle or loop by means of a refrigerant piping 17, 18. A refrigerant is circulated by means of thecompressor 15 in the refrigerant piping 17, 18. In the heating mode the refrigerant circulates clockwise inFIG. 2 . Hence, the refrigerant leaving thecondenser 25 and having a first temperature Ti upstream of the expansion device (means) 13 passes the expansion device (means) 13, the pressure being reduced. Afterwards, the refrigerant passes theevaporator 14 and is evaporated having a second temperature T2 downstream of theevaporator 14 higher than the first temperature. After leaving theevaporator 14, the refrigerant passes through the compressor, the pressure being increased. Finally, the refrigerant is again condensed to the first temperature Ti in thecondenser 25, wherein the heat from the refrigerant is transferred to the water or brine solution (fluid) in the piping connected to the indoor unit via the connections (inlet 22 andoutlet 21. - In the cooling mode, this process is reversed, wherein the
component 14 then serves as condenser and thecomponent 25 as evaporator. The refrigerant then circulates counter-clockwise inFIG. 2 . - The
indoor unit 20 further comprises apump 27 and abackup heater 26. The pump serves for circulating the fluid (heating or cooling fluid) in the fluid circuit (21, 31, 34, 35, 36, 22). The purpose of thebackup heater 26 is to cope with situations in which the heat pump described above is not capable to satisfy the entire heating demand (at very low temperatures, e.g. below −10 degrees Celsius). Thisbackup heater 26 in some cases may also be omitted. - In the heating mode the fluid (heating fluid) enters the
indoor unit 20 through theinlet 22, passes thecondenser 25, wherein heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the fluid, then flows through thebackup heater 26 in which the fluid may be additionally heated if necessary and subsequently passes thepump 27 which circulates the fluid in the fluid circuit. Afterwards and by controlling thevalve 32 the fluid is either supplied to thefloor heating loops 40 and the heat emitter 41 (seeFIG. 1 ) or alternatively to the hot water container piping (31, 34). In the latter case, the fluid may enter thehot water container 30 by means of the piping 31 passing the heating coil inside thehot water container 30 thereby transferring the heat from the fluid to the water contained in thehot water container 30 and subsequently being reefed to the circuit by thepipings inlet 22. Similar, the fluid may also be supplied to thefloor heating loops 40 as a heat emitter or theradiator 41 shown inFIG. 1 and subsequently be reintroduced in to the indoor unit via theinlet 22. In case the temperature of the fluid is not sufficient to heat the hot water in the hot water container an additional (booster)heater 33 may be provided in the hot water container. - As previously mentioned, the circulation of the fluid in the cooling mode is the same but the cycle of the heat pump (flow direction of the refrigerant) is reversed.
- Moreover, the system comprises a
temperature sensor 60 which detects the temperature of the heating fluid leaving the indoor unit which, in the following, is considered as the actual flow temperature of the heating fluid. Anadditional temperature sensor 63 is provided to detect the temperature of the hot water in thehot water container 30. - In the following, the control of the embodiment of the present invention is explained.
- An input device (not shown) which in general will be arranged in or on the indoor unit is used to input a desired flow temperature (first set temperature) of the heating fluid to the
heat emitters - Alternatively, the flow temperature may also be adapted automatically based on the outdoor temperature (ambient temperature) and/or the room temperature in the room to be heated. That is, if the outdoor temperature decreases the flow temperature is increased and vice versa and/or if the low temperature is too high for the room to be heated resulting in a high cycling rate between supply and nonsupply of heating fluid to the heat emitter the flow temperature is decreased and vice versa.
- In operation, the control via the
sensors - as a first actual temperature and the temperature of the hot water in the
hot water container 30 as a second actual temperature. - Based on the first set and second set temperature and the first and second actual temperature the control determines a first demand of the
heat emitters hot water container 30. This calculation or determination may include the difference between the first set and the first actual temperature and the difference between the second set and actual temperature. Also other parameters such as may influence the result of the first and the second demand. These parameters may be selected from the group of field settings which can be selected by the installer. - If only the
heat emitters hot water container 30 demand heat, i.e. that the heating fluid is supplied to either theheat emitters hot water container 30, this demand is satisfied. If both theheat emitters hot water container 30 demand heat, the control compares the first and the second demand and depending on which demand is higher serves theheat emitters hot water container 30. I.e. if the first demand is higher, thevalve 32 switches to the first position supplying heating fluid to theheat emitters piping 35. In case the second demand is higher than the first demand, thevalve 32 switches to the second position supplying heating fluid via the piping 31 to thehot water container 30 passing the heating coil inside thehot water container 30 being refed via thepiping hot water container 30 is heated by transfer of heat from the heating fluid flowing through the heating coil to the water in the container. - If a user selects a priority mode via the input device (not shown) of the described heating installation, the control changes from the above described demand dependent mode to a priority mode, wherein the user has to set a priority, either for heating the rooms, i.e. supplying heating fluid to the
heat emitters hot water container 30, i.e. supplying heating fluid to thehot water container 30. In addition, the system may comprise a button to select a “boosting mode” which enables to activate theadditional heater 33 in thehot water container 30 to quickly heat up the water in the hot water container to quickly obtain the desired temperature (second set temperature). Thisadditional heater 33 may also be activated by means of the control in the demand dependent mode if the first demand is higher than the second demand and the heating fluid is supplied to theheat emitters hot water container 30 so as to concurrently obtain the desired water temperature in thehot water container 30 if the actual temperature measured by thesensor 63 drops below a predetermined value lower than the desired temperature of the hot water in the container (second set temperature). - Although the present invention has been described with respect to a combined heating and cooling installation, the present invention may also be applied to a heating installation without the cooling capability. In addition, the present invention has been described with respect to heat
emitters hot water container 30 as first and second object. It is, however, to be understood that the present invention may also be implemented to heat other objects than the above described.
