  • BUILDING CHILLER/HEAT PUMP SYSTEM CARBON EMISSION REDUCTION BY SHIFTING TEMPERATURE SETPOINT
    Publication number: 20250075933
    Abstract: A building chiller/heat pump system includes a chiller/heat pump system for supplying a conditioned fluid to change a temperature of air being delivered into a building. The chiller/heat pump system is provided with a control to achieve a desired setpoint of the air delivered into the building. The control is programmed to receive a prediction of expected remission levels in energy that will be delivered to power the chiller/heat pump system. The control is programmed to change the setpoint such that an energy level required to operate the chiller/heat pump system to achieve the setpoint will drop when the expected emissions level increases, and adjusts the setpoint in an opposed direction when the expected emissions drops. A method is also disclosed.

  • Control of air conditioning system with limited number of discrete inputs
    Publication number: 20050011207
    Abstract: A method for interpreting input on a X input multi-stage HVAC & R system to control Y stages of the system wherein Y is greater than X, including the steps of receiving input from X inputs; translating the input into a binary system having Y binary outputs; and controlling the system based upon the binary outputs.

  • Electronically-controlled heater
    Patent number: 5805767
    Abstract: A heater, especially a portable electric space heater, that includes safety features selected from at least one of the following, which may turn off the heater or trigger an alarm or both: motion sensors for determining whether an object is within an unsafe distance of the heater; temperature sensors for determining whether the internal temperature of the heater is rising too fast, or is too much above ambient temperature so that it represents an unsafe condition, or is above a preset safe level.
