Embodiment Construction

[0010]In view of any one or more of (1) advances in system sensors, system control components, including digital controls and intelligent equipment design, (2) a challenge to constantly increase efficiencies in environmental control systems, and (3) an understanding of limitations in further efficiencies that may be realized given the dated nature of the conventional linear reset techniques, it may be advantageous to introduce uniquely updated and contemporary boiler control systems, algorithms, and system control components, and to implement associated methods, for advanced non-linear hot water reset for boilers.

[0011]In exemplary embodiments of the systems and methods according to this disclosure, it may be advantageous to implement certain schemes that allow modern digital building control systems, and advanced control for boilers, whereby a supply water temperature needed to meet space environmental comfort requirements is determined in a manner that maximizes combustion efficie...

Abstract

Automated systems, methods, techniques, processes, products and product components are provided to implement an advanced and energy efficient hot water heating system control scheme that incorporates an advanced hot water reset for the boilers, including condensing boilers in hydronic systems. The advanced controls are provided to substantially enhance combustion (heating) efficiency for the boilers. The disclosed schemes replace conventional linear hot water reset with a device which can stand alone or integrate with boiler control technology or an existing building automation system to create a unique (non-linear) boiler reset curve based on various inputs. The schemes allow boiler control systems to learn and adapt over time maximizing the efficiency of a condensing boiler plant, by providing an independent, intelligent, economical, monitorable and manipulable solution eliminating the need of a head end BAS control system.

Description
