  • Patent number: 10746415
    Abstract: A method for adjusting the setpoint temperature of a heat transfer medium circulating in a heating or cooling system (9) inside a building or at least inside a surrounding part of a building. The heating or cooling circuit includes a plurality of heat transferring units, each with a temperature controlled valve. A sum opening degree (OD) of all temperature controlled valves is determined in a time dependent manner and a setpoint temperature Tw,ref of heat transferring medium is controlled according to a predetermined sum opening degree (OD) of all temperature controlled valves. A heating system (9) is provided for supplying heat to a building or a part of the building via a liquid heat transfer medium circulated in a circuit. The heating system (9) includes heat transferring units, each being equipped with a temperature controlled valve. The system is controllable according to the method for adjusting the setpoint temperature.

  • Patent number: 8401806
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting faults in a pump assembly having an electric motor, or faults in an electric motor, having at least one rotating shaft. A vibration signal is detected, the detected vibration signal is processed in a manner such that the influence of the current rotational speed of the shaft is eliminated, periodic signals are filtered out of the processed vibration signal, and the vibrational operating condition, in particular possible faults, is recognized by way of the periodic signals. Further, a pump assembly having an electric motor or an electric motor is provided in which this method is applied.

  • Patent number: 7821222
    Abstract: A submersible motor is provided for a submersible pump, the motor being configured as a single-phase asynchronous motor, which includes a main winding (6), an auxiliary winding (8), and a starting device (10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) for controlling the starting procedure of the submersible motor. The starting device (10, 14, 16, 20, 22) for the control of the current feed of the auxiliary winding (8) includes at least one electronic switch (20) in the circuit of the auxiliary winding (8).
