Description

BeschreibungDescription

Die Erfindung betrifft elektrisch beeinflußbare Heizkörper- Thermostate mit Dehnelement wie sie zur Regelung von Raumtemperaturen in Verbindung mit Heizkörperventilen in Zentralheizungssystemen verwendet werden. Die Wunschtemperatur ist manuell einstell- und bei manchen Typen durch Arretierung des Thermostatkopfes begrenzbar. Bei diesen Thermostaten ist es möglich, die am Thermostatdrehkopf von Hand eingestellte Solltemperatur durch elektrische Erwärmung des Dehnelementes zu verringern. Die elektrische Beeinflussung wird verwendet, um nicht unnötig Heizenergie zu vergeuden, um z.B. bei offenen Fenstern die Heizkörper abzusperren, um in Büros in denen nicht gearbeitet wird die Raumtemperatur abzusenken, oder um nicht erreichbare Heizkörper fernzubedienen. Die Beeinflussung dient der Energieeinsparung, und somit der Umweltentlastung und Heizkostensenkung, und sie kann den Bedienungskomfort erhöhen.The invention relates to electrically controlled radiator thermostats with an expansion element, such as those used to regulate room temperatures in conjunction with radiator valves in central heating systems. The desired temperature can be set manually and, in some types, limited by locking the thermostat head. With these thermostats, it is possible to reduce the target temperature set manually on the thermostat head by electrically heating the expansion element. The electrical control is used to avoid unnecessary wasting of heating energy, for example to shut off the radiators when the windows are open, to lower the room temperature in offices where no work is being done, or to remotely control radiators that are not accessible. The control serves to save energy, and thus to reduce the burden on the environment and heating costs, and it can increase operating comfort.

Das Themengebiet wurde in mehreren GbM und Patentsachschriften bereits behandelt und ist Stand der Technik (s. OS-2421810, OS-DE 3541437A1, OS-3210515A1, PA-DE 2909398C2, PA-DE 2625420C2).The subject area has already been covered in several GbM and patent documents and is state of the art (see OS-2421810, OS-DE 3541437A1, OS-3210515A1, PA-DE 2909398C2, PA-DE 2625420C2).

Die elektrische Beeinflussung der Thermostate in einem Raum kann automatisch z.B.The electrical influence of the thermostats in a room can be automatic, e.g.

durch Fensterkontakte oder Zeitschaltuhr erfolgen oder manuell, z.B. aus einem Hausmeisterbüro, ferngesteuert werden. Für eine Person, die sich in dem Raum aufhält, ist es oft nicht ersichtlich, ob der Thermostat auf den am Thermostatkopf von Hand eingestellten Temperaturwert regelt oder ob er elektrisch beeinflußt wird, z.B. kann es bei einer zeitgesteuerten Nachtabsenkung in einem Bürogebäude passieren, daß ein Angestellter länger arbeitet und nicht erkennt, daß die Nachtabsenkung aktiv ist. Erst wenn das Wärmeempfinden des Menschen registriert, daß es kühler geworden ist und die Heizung sich kalt anfühlt, obwohl sie eigentlich warm sein sollte und er darüber informiert wurde, daß der Thermostat ferngesteuert werden kann, kann er davon ausgehen, daß der Thermostat beeinflußt wurde.by window contacts or timers or manually, e.g. from a caretaker's office, remotely controlled. It is often not clear to a person in the room whether the thermostat is regulating the temperature value set manually on the thermostat head or whether it is being influenced electrically. For example, with a time-controlled night-time reduction in an office building, it can happen that an employee works longer and does not realise that the night-time reduction is active. Only when the person's sense of warmth registers that it has become cooler and the heating feels cold even though it should actually be warm and they have been informed that the thermostat can be controlled remotely can they assume that the thermostat has been influenced.

Die Verbesserung der eingangs genannten Thermostatregelung mit elektrischer Beeinflussungsmöglichkeit liegt in dem Anbringen eines Signaielementes, das optisch signalisiert, daß eine elektrische Erwärmung des Dehnelementes die eingestellte Solltemperatur senkt. Das Signalelement sollte eine LED (light emitting diode) sein, dieThe improvement of the thermostat control with electrical influence option mentioned above lies in the installation of a signal element that visually signals that electrical heating of the expansion element lowers the set target temperature. The signal element should be an LED (light emitting diode) that

direkt am Thermostat, Thermostatventil oder Dehnelement befestigt ist. Zusätzlich sollte ein selbsterklärendes Piktogramm die Funktion der LED beschreiben. Somit wird die Person, die sich in dem Raum aufhält über den Eingriff in den Regelkreis informiert. Sie kann dann, wenn gewünscht, entsprechende Gegenmaßnahmen einleiten.is attached directly to the thermostat, thermostat valve or expansion element. In addition, a self-explanatory pictogram should describe the function of the LED. This informs the person in the room about the intervention in the control circuit. They can then, if desired, initiate appropriate countermeasures.

Durch die bessere Vermarktungsmöglichkeit und den daraus resultierenden, erhöhten Produkteinsatz werden Energieressourcen eingespart, die Umwelt durch geringere CO2-Emissionen entlastet und der Lebenskomfort durch diese Einrichtung gesteigert.The improved marketing opportunities and the resulting increased use of products save energy resources, reduce the burden on the environment through lower CO2 emissions and increase the comfort of living through this facility.
