Solution Overview
Problem
Existing heating devices for buildings rely on static heating curves set during installation, which are not validated over time, leading to inefficient energy use and lack of adaptation to changing conditions.
Innovation Solution
A control method that dynamically adjusts the resistance values of an outside temperature device using offset values, allowing for real-time adaptation of the heating device's operating behavior to optimize energy efficiency and accommodate changing conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a static heating curve is set during installation, then the heating device operates with a fixed control strategy, but it cannot adapt to changing conditions over time leading to inefficient energy use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static heating curve into a dynamic control system that automatically adapts to changing conditions. The control system determines resistance values of the outside temperature device and adjusts them using offset values, enabling the heating device to dynamically optimize its operation based on actual performance data and changing environmental conditions, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and energy efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control system continuously monitors the heating device's operation and outside temperature conditions, determines resistance values, and adjusts offset values accordingly. This closed-loop feedback enables the system to learn from past performance and automatically adapt to changing conditions, improving energy efficiency while maintaining adaptability
2Device complexity
If the heating curve is set once during installation, then the control system is simple to implement, but assumptions made are not validated over time leading to suboptimal operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the control system to automatically determine resistance values and adjust offset values without requiring manual intervention or validation by users. The system self-calibrates and self-optimizes by continuously monitoring operation and automatically adapting the heating curve, thereby improving reliability while keeping the control system relatively simple to implement
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary determination of resistance values and offset value adjustments automatically as part of the control process. By pre-establishing the framework for automatic adaptation and resistance value determination, the system ensures reliable operation without requiring complex manual validation procedures, thus maintaining simplicity while improving reliability
