A heat supply system with a first temperature detection unit that detects a first temperature of hot water in a tank and a second temperature detection unit that detects a second temperature above the first temperature detection unit. When the first temperature is a first lower limit temperature or less, where a temperature increase operation by a combined heat and power supply device is permitted, a control device operates the combined heat and power supply device and flow state adjustment devices such that a heat medium circulates between the combined heat, power supply device, and hot water storage device. When the second temperature is a second lower limit temperature or less, where a temperature increase operation by a boiler device is permitted, the control device operates the boiler device and the flow state adjustment devices such that the heat medium circulates between the boiler device and hot water storage device.

A system and method for controlling a boiler comprising a microcomputer operatively connected to a microcontroller wherein the microcontroller is configured to provide flame safeguard operations and the microcomputer is configured to provide operating control instructions to the microcontroller. The boiler control system may operate either in a stand-alone, cascade master or cascade slave configuration.

A method of operating an HVAC system using a controller includes predicting a first predicted temperature of an enclosed space during an unoccupied time with the HVAC system off. The controller determines if the first predicted temperature is less than a set-point temperature. Responsive to a determination that the first predicted temperature is less than the set-point temperature, the controller predicts a second predicted temperature of the enclosed space if the HVAC system is operated for a first runtime. The controller determines if the second predicted temperature is less than the set-point temperature and, responsive to a determination that the second predicted temperature is not less than the set-point temperature, the controller operates the HVAC system for the first runtime.

An air-conditioning apparatus includes; a first heat source device configured to transfer heat to process air using as a heat source a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle; a second heat source device configured to transfer heat to the process air using an other heat source different from the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle; and a controller configured to control the first heat source device and the second heat source device. The controller deactivates the first heat source device and activates the second heat source device when, during a period in which the first heat source device is being operated to heat the process air, a temperature of the heated process air is kept at a target temperature and a parameter indicating an energy consumption of the first heat source device exceeds a first threshold value.

A piping system for recovery heat energy from an exhaust gas in a heat recovery furnace, the piping system comprising a piping inlet, where the piping inlet transects a wall of a stack zone of the heat recovery furnace, a piping run, the piping run fluidly connected to the piping inlet, and a piping outlet, the piping outlet fluidly connected to the piping run, where the piping outlet transects the wall of the stack zone of the heat recovery furnace, where the piping system is positioned in a stack zone of the heat recovery furnace between a stack inlet and a stack outlet.

A heating assembly can include a switching valve which can include certain pressure sensitive features. These features can be configured to change from a first position to a second position based on a pressure of a fuel. The valve can be used with either a first fuel or a second fuel different from the first. The valve can become locked or be held in either the first or the second position. For example, a set fuel pressure can cause the valve to move to a closed position and the valve can become locked or held in that position. If the pressure decreases, the valve can remain in the locked position. Actuation of a reset switch can allow the valve to move to a new position, such as an open position.

A waste heat recovery device with a first heat medium side inlet; a first heat medium side outlet; a first heat medium flow path; a second heat medium side inlet; a second heat medium side outlet; a second heat medium flow path; a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the first heat medium and second heat medium; an expansion tank in the first heat medium flow path; a bypass flow path that causes the first heat medium to flow and bypass the heat exchanger; and a mixer where the bypass flow path and first heat medium flow path merge together. The mixer is configured to adjust a ratio of a flow rate of the first heat medium in the bypass flow path and a flow rate of the first heat medium in the heat exchanger, such that the temperature of the first heat medium after merging approaches a predetermined temperature.
