PROCESS OF CONTROLLING AN AIR-CONDITIONING AND/OR HEATING PLANT AND RELATED AIR-CONDITIONING AND/OR HEATING PLANT
Control process of a thermal plant including a distribution circuit for a carrier fluid having a delivery line and a return line, a central thermal treatment group placed on the circuit, and channels, each of which is hydraulically interposed between the delivery line and the return line to serve respective environments. For each of the channels, the plant includes a respective exchange unit, a flow regulator to regulate a flow rate of carrier fluid through in the respective channel, an ambient temperature detector, a temperature detector of the carrier fluid for detecting a delivery temperature of the carrier fluid in each channel, and a return temperature of the carrier fluid in each channel. The process also includes a thermal optimization procedure as a function of ambient temperature, delivery temperature and return temperature of the carrier fluid.
Information handling system having regional cooling
Custom cooling strategies may be implemented for different regions in computers, servers, and other information handling systems. Chassis architecture may have multiple cooling fans, with each fan cooling a different region via dedicated duct work. A user or administrator may thus implement different cooling strategies for internal components, based on different thermal curves defined for each different region.
MULTI-DWELLING TEMPERATURE MONITORING TECHNIQUES
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for temperature control. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining first temperature data associated with a first climate control component of a first dwelling of a property; obtaining second temperature data associated with a second climate control component of a second dwelling of the property; determining a leak effect between the first dwelling and the second dwelling using the first temperature data and the second temperature data; determining an instruction to adjust operation of the first climate control component using the leak effect; and providing the instruction to the first climate control component.
BUILDING HVAC SYSTEM WITH MULTI-LEVEL MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL
A heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building includes HVAC equipment configured to provide heating or cooling to one or more building spaces and one or more controllers. The one or more controllers include one or more processing circuits configured to generate energy targets for the one or more building spaces using a thermal capacitance of the one or more building spaces to which the heating or cooling is provided by the HVAC equipment, generate setpoints for the HVAC equipment using the energy targets for the one or more building spaces to which the heating or cooling is provided by the HVAC equipment, and operate the HVAC equipment using the setpoints to provide the heating or cooling to the one or more building spaces.
Cooking appliance with programmable zone profiles
A temperature display and/or control system is disclosed for a cooing apparatus, such as a grill, comprising a plurality of individual zones to provide individual zone temperatures. Each zone of the grill is associated with a temperature sensor, such as a thermocouple, and a visual indicator to indicate the zone temperature, such as control knob bearing a multi-color LED. A controller obtains a signal from the temperature sensor indicating a raw temperature and converts the raw temperature to an actual zone temperature based on a temperature profile selected for the zone. The temperature profile is configurable for each zone based on a configuration of the zone in order to maintain an accurate temperature conversion despite alterations to an environment.
RACK TEMPERATURE CONTROLLING METHOD AND SYSTEM
A rack temperature controlling method includes performing the following operations through a controller: obtaining a rack temperature data, calculating a temperature variant according to the rack temperature data, calculating a temperature deviation according to the temperature variant and a reference temperature, calculating a target speed according to the temperature deviation, and adjusting a speed of a fan to the target speed. A rack temperature controlling system including a thermometer and a controller is further provided. The thermometer measures and outputs a rack temperature data. The controller receives the rack temperature data, and calculates a temperature variant according to the rack temperature data. The controller further calculates a temperature deviation according to the temperature variant and a reference temperature, calculates a target speed according to the temperature deviation, and adjusts a speed of a fan to the target speed.
OVEN DRAWER HAVING USER CONFIGURABLE HORIZONTALLY DIVIDED CAVITIES
An oven appliance includes a cooking chamber positioned within a cabinet, a heating assembly defining a plurality of heating zones, and a drawer assembly slidably positioned within the cooking chamber. The drawer assembly includes a drawer frame slidably mounted to sidewalls of the cooking chamber, a horizontal rack mounted proximate a bottom of the drawer frame, and one or more vertical dividers positionable within the drawer frame to define a plurality of cooking chambers, each of the plurality of cooking chambers being aligned with one or more of the plurality of heating zones.
Control system and method for controlling a fluid distribution system
A control system controls a fluid distribution system that includes consumer branches arranged in parallel. Each consumer branch includes a consumer element (31) consuming fluid and/or thermal energy, a regulating device (9) receiving a control value regulating a flow of fluid and/or thermal energy through the consumer branch, and a sensor (11) providing a measured value of the consumer branch. The control system includes a saturation calculation module (21) providing a saturation value, for each operational consumer branch, indicative of the saturation degree of the associated consumer branch, and a saturation compensation module (23) receiving the saturation values and altering a reference value. The altered reference value is based on an initial reference value and the saturation values from all consumer branches. The consumer branch regulating device, of each operational consumer branch, is controllable based on the altered reference value and the measured value of the associated consumer branch.
