  • Publication number: 20210088230
    Abstract: Heat exchanger output control device in a one-pipe heating network characterized in that a first T-branch, which is connected to a second T-branch interconnected to a primary outlet pipe connection of a primary outlet pipe to a heat source through a primary outlet, is connected to the primary inlet pipe connection through a primary inlet. The first T-branch is connected to a secondary supply pipe connection through a secondary supply pipe with a secondary supply temperature sensor, and the second T-branch is connected to a secondary return pipe connection through a secondary return pipe with an additional secondary return temperature sensor. An impeller of a pump is connected to a secondary circuit to pump the heat-transfer medium from the first T-branch through a heat exchanger back to the second T-branch, and to connected to a electrical motor provided with a control unit connected to secondary supply and return temperature sensors.

  • Patent number: 9964929
    Abstract: A device includes an upper limit input to provide an upper limit value, a lower limit input to provide an upper limit value, a control signal input to receive a control signal from a controller, an output, and circuitry coupled to the upper limit input, the lower limit input, and the control signal input to provide an output signal on the output that is constrained by the upper limit value and the lower limit value and that follows the control signal derivative if possible.
