  • Patent number: 8235707
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control method of preventing backflow of exhaust gas into combustion chambers of boilers or water heaters that are not in operation for a multiboiler comprising a plurality of boilers or water heaters connected in line, each of which including a wind pressure sensor measuring wind pressure of air flowing into a combustion chamber and a controller controlling a fan supplying air into the combustion chamber on the basis of the wind pressure measured by the wind pressure sensor. The control method includes measuring wind pressures using the wind pressure sensors in the operating boilers and calculating an average wind pressure, using any controller as a master controller to determine a control amount of wind of the fans of non-operational boilers based on the average wind pressure, and operating the fans of the non-operational boilers on the basis of the control amount of wind.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnet having a linear magnetic flux density, which causes the magnetic flux density thereof to vary linearly and, more particularly, to a magnet having a linear magnetic flux density, in which the shape and magnetization pattern of the magnet are changed so that displacement in proportion to linearly varying displacement from the magnet is more accurately measured using a magnetic flux sensor, thus causing the magnetic flux density to vary linearly (or rectilinearly) according to the displacement. The present invention is configured to have a rectangular shape or a trapezoid shape so that displacement in proportion to linearly varying displacement from the magnet is more accurately measured using a magnetic flux sensor, and is configured such that the value of magnetic flux density varies linearly (rectilinearly) according to the magnetization pattern of the rectangular shape or a trapezoid shape.

  • Patent number: 7963236
    Abstract: Disclosed is an air-fuel ratio control boiler using a air pressure sensor and method for controlling the air-fuel ratio thereof. The boiler is comprised of a fan, the air pressure sensor, a air pressure sensor voltage measurement unit, a air pressure sensor voltage compensation unit, and a controller, and previously compensates for noise factors caused by deviation (error) of a component property, a constituent, of the air pressure sensor so as to be matched to initial reference voltage prior to operating the fan, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the air-fuel ratio. Further, the boiler makes it possible not only to exert an optimal fuel efficiency effect due to the maximization of combustion efficiency, but also to minimize discharge of harmful gases, thereby preventing environmental pollution in advance, and thus improving the reliability of products.

  • Publication number: 20100270385
    Abstract: A method for controlling a heating system for organically controlling heating of respective rooms to uniformly heat the respective rooms by proportionally calculating heat supplies required by the respective rooms from temperature of returned water, even when the heat supplies required by the respective rooms are different from each other, depending on external conditions of the respective rooms. The method adjusts flow rates of heating water supplied to the respective rooms by adjusting opening rates of room valves installed in heating water pipes. The temperature of the returned heating water is measured, a ratio of opening rates of the respective room valves is calculated from the measured temperature of the returned water to proportionally supply heat to the respective rooms, and the opening rates of the respective room valves are adjusted, depending on the calculated ratio of the opening rates.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a heating system for uniformly heating respective rooms by proportionally calculating heat supplies required by the respective rooms, even when the heat supplies required for heating the respective rooms are different from each other, depending on indoor temperature conditions and external conditions of the respective rooms. The method adjusts flow rates of heating water supplied to the respective rooms by adjusting opening rates of room valves installed in heating water pipes. Current temperature differences between temperatures set for the respective rooms and indoor temperatures measured in the respective rooms are calculated, and opening rates of other room valves of other rooms, excluding rooms having a current temperature difference larger than a previously set temperature difference, are reduced.
