Embodiment Construction

[0046]As previously mentioned, although many of the features of this invention are described in relation to a residential home environment, it is understood that they are generally applicable to many office and industrial building applications as well.

[0047]FIG. 1 schematically represents a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV, 21) according to the invention. The TRV 21 comprises a motor 81, an electronic board 82. In a preferred embodiment, the TRV 21 may comprise one or more temperature sensor(s) 83. The motor 81 can be replaced by any other system to reduce the fluid flow in the heat emitter.

[0048]The TRV 21 is a self-regulating valve fitted to a heating fluid conduit from a heat generator entering a heat emitter (or radiator) to which the TRV 21 is connected. The TRV 21 may include a memory to store some data such as a temperature setpoint. Depending on the surrounding temperature, for example measured by the TRV 21, and a temperature setpoint of the TRV 21, an electronic board 82 c...

Abstract

The invention concerns a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) the TRV comprising:
    • a communication link to one or more other TRVs in the room (9);
    • an input interface configured to allow a user to enter a defined temperature setpoint (T1) or acquire the defined temperature setpoint (T1) from the one or more other TRVs;
wherein the TRV is further configured to synchronize the defined temperature setpoint (T1) with the one or more other TRVs defined in a synchronization list.

Description

FIELD[0001]The invention relates to the field of smart thermal management of household consumer devices and, in particular, the thermal control within a room or a house. The invention concerns a system and method for synchronizing temperature within a room. Although many of the features of this invention will be described in relation to a residential home environment, it is understood that they are generally applicable to many office and industrial building applications or the like as well.BACKGROUND[0002]Over the last decades, many products have been introduced in order to control heat emitters within a room or a house. A traditional solution, still widespread, is to perform a room per room heat management inside a house. Each heat emitter is equipped with a valve that regulates the heat flux inside the heat emitter. The valve is either a mechanical valve or a thermostatic valve.[0003]In the case of a mechanical valve, the user adjusts its position depending on the ambient heat he ...
