Benefits of technology

The present invention is a boiler control and monitoring system that improves the heating of buildings by using computer and telecommunications technology to control the boiler more accurately and automatically identify problems in the system. The system uses multiple temperature sensors, historical data, and current weather information to determine how the boiler should be controlled. This results in more efficient and cost-effective heating, as well as identifying and fixing problems faster, which improves the comfort of apartment residents and reduces the recurrence of malfunctions. The system also utilizes statistical methodologies to optimize heating and minimize costs. Overall, the present invention provides superior boiler control compared to earlier and current systems.

Problems solved by technology

These malfunctions may include the aforementioned balancing issues or problems as simple as leaks in the piping or boiler.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]FIG. 1 depicts heating system 100 in accordance with the prior art. Heating system 100 is comprised of outdoor temperature sensor 101, controller 102, and boiler 103.

[0027]FIG. 2 depicts heating system 200 in accordance with the prior art. Heating system 200 is comprised of and outdoor temperature sensor 101, indoor temperature sensors 201-a &201-b, controller 102, a boiler sensor 202, and boiler 103.

[0028]In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the prior art, pipe steam systems operate by activating a boiler for an initial phase to build pressure in the heating system. This typically corresponds with a preset condensate temperature, for example 150° F. After reaching the preset temperature, the boiler is then left on for a preset amount of time corresponding to the outdoor weather. The building then reaches and maintain a desired average indoor temperature, for example 72° F. After the preset boiler runtime has elapsed, the boiler shuts off. Almost all heating syste...

Abstract

A method for boiler control and a monitoring system is disclosed. The present invention provides superior boiler control compared with earlier and current systems. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the heating system is improved by utilizing computer and telecommunications technology to provide more accurate boiler control and to automatically identify problems in the system.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to temperature control units in general, and, more particularly, to boiler controls.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Temperature control for buildings has been an issue since buildings themselves have existed. Keeping from freezing is the primary purpose of shelter from time immemorial and as building increase in size and complexity, heating these buildings becomes more difficult.[0003]Almost all heating systems operate by turning on a heating element, such as a boiler, getting that element up to a particular temperature or pressure, and running the element for a particular time until the radiated heat reaches a desired temperature inside a given space.[0004]One of the systems of heating a building is the use of steam heat. When using steam heat, a boiler is filled with water, the boiler is then heated to turn the water into water vapor. The water vapor then flows through a building, and the heat from the hot water vapor is t...
