摘要： Methods and Systems for controlling boiler systems are disclosed. In one illustrative embodiment, a derivative action control is used reduce the likelihood of overshoot from a newly activated boiler. When a newly activated boiler becomes active, the boiler is held at a low firing rate for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be cut short or even entirely eliminated under certain conditions. The methods and devices are further adapted for use in multi-stage boiler systems. In one embodiment, only the first stage of a multi-stage boiler system that becomes active is held at the low firing rate.

摘要： A method and apparatus for the control of power consumption in individual space-conditioning loads fed by an electric power network utilizes a commandable, programmable temperature control device which gradually, substantially continually changes the control setpoint in response to an external signal to reduce power consumption such that temperature changes go relatively unnoticed by the occupants. A radio receiver or the like is utilized to receive a signal from the power utility company and, in response to the signal, the setpoint function of the thermostat associated with the load becomes an electronically simulated function in accordance with the invention and the user-control setpoint is removed from the control loop. The effective load shedding is also greatly enhanced by the provision of an integral reset function in addition to the conventional proportional control within the temperature control system. The use of a plurality of such systems enables the power utility to control electric power network peak load with a minimum impact on the comfort of individuals in the conditioned spaces.

摘要： Devices and methods for controlling a boiler system. One illustrative method includes controlling the bypass temperature by increasing the firing rate of the boiler. Further methods include bypass temperature control methods wherein both regular and fast control methods are used, where the regular method operates to control bypass temperature by using, first, a bypass valve, and second, possible increases in firing rate. The fast control method responds to particular situations suggesting potential condensation in a primary heat exchanger to increase firing rate without waiting for a bypass valve to fully open. Further embodiments include controllers programmed for or containing programming for performing steps of the method embodiments, as well as systems incorporating such controllers.

摘要： An apparatus for power load-shedding is disclosed which has an auxiliary thermostat disposed in the conditioned space for controlling the CN-OFF cycling function of a space conditioning apparatus during a load-shedding interval. The auxiliary thermostat includes an external communication signal receiver and a transmitter for transmitting control signals to a space conditioner control which controls the connection of available power to the space conditioner. The thermostat utilized during normal operation of the space conditioning means is disconnected during the load-shedding interval. The auxiliary thermostat is adapted to be supplied with line voltage as by plugging into a conventional outlet.

摘要： The present invention contemplates a method and apparatus for load-shedding duty cycling which overrides the normal thermostat control in a space conditioning system, upon receipt of an external signal as from the power company, in a manner such that the consumed power does not rise above the level that persisted just prior to the initialization signal. The present invention monitors the thermostat-controlled cycling pattern of a space conditioning system such as an air conditioner. Normally, the last thermostat-controlled cycle is then caused to become the reference or control cycle for the load shedding interval. That is, the ON portion of the reference cycle is caused to become the maximum allowable ON interval and the OFF portion of the reference cycle is caused to become the minimum OFF interval for the entire load shedding interval.The device may be started by a single radio command or other means. The release from load control may be automatically timed or based on other signals. A radio receiver or other such means is provided to receive the signal from the power utility company which starts the load control function.Unique features are also provided to prevent the undesirable effects of tampering with the thermostat setpoint just prior to the load shedding interval or to compensate for any cycle pattern of unusually long duration. This is done by compensating for the effect of these events by modifying the reference or control cycle when the appear.
摘要翻译：本发明考虑了一种用于减轻负载循环的方法和装置，其在以下的方式覆盖空间调节系统中的正常恒温器控制，即在从电力公司接收到外部信号时，消耗功率不会高于在初始化信号之前持续的电平。本发明监测诸如空调的空调系统的恒温控制循环模式。通常，最后一个恒温器控制循环将成为负载脱落间隔的参考或控制周期。也就是说，使基准周期的ON部分变为最大允许ON间隔，并且使参考周期的OFF部分成为整个减载间隔的最小OFF间隔。设备可以通过单个无线电命令或其他方式启动。负载控制的释放可以自动定时或基于其他信号。提供无线电接收机或其他这样的装置以接收来自启动负载控制功能的电力公司的信号。还提供了独特的特征，以防止在负载脱落间隔之前篡改恒温器设定点的不良影响或者补偿异常长持续时间的任何循环模式。这通过在出现时修改参考或控制周期来补偿这些事件的影响来完成。

摘要： An airflow sensor including a housing, a flexible substrate, and electrical components. The housing defines an internal compartment and a top face opening. The substrate includes circuitry traces, and defines a front and a back. The substrate is disposed within the compartment such that the back is exposed relative to the opening. The electrical components are electrically connected to the circuitry traces, extending from the front of the substrate opposite the opening, and include a heated temperature sensor spaced from a baseline temperature sensor. During use, airflow interfaces with the substrate back to cool the heated temperature sensor. The extent of this cooling as compared to the baseline temperature sensor is indicative of airflow. The system and method include detecting the presence or absence of airflow based upon a temperature differential between the temperature sensors as well as a rate of change in the temperature differential.

摘要： A humidity control system for an enclosure requiring heat from a furnace and having one or more windows, includes sensors for the enclosure temperature and humidity, and a means for measuring the percentage of time which the furnace is operating (load factor). The system estimates the interior window temperature based on these parameters and controls humidity added to the enclosure air to prevent the enclosure air dew point temperature from rising above the estimated window temperature. This prevents condensation on the window surfaces. The estimation can be adjusted to compensate for different insulation characteristics of the window. In a preferred embodiment, the enclosure air temperature and humidity are derived from sensors conveniently located in the return air duct.
