Control and energy metering in low temperature heating systems

J. Rekstad; Michaela Meir; A.R. Kristoffersen

A new approach of temperature control and energy metering in low temperature heating (LTH) systems is presented. The required heat is supplied in terms of energy pulses by intermittent operation of the circulation pump. The control unit calculates the heat demand from external variables basically represented by the ambient air temperature. The parameters necessary for temperature control can be extracted when the heat transfer coefficient and the heat capacity of the floor construction are known. Furthermore, the control strategy opens for energy metering in LTH systems by means of the parameters heat carrier temperature and the duty cycle. The method is demonstrated to be at least accurate within ±5%.

Thermal performance of combined solar systems with different collector efficiencies

L. Henden; J. Rekstad; Michaela Meir

Abstract The performance of two kinds of solar systems for space- and domestic hot water heating has been compared by computer simulations. One system is a conventional radiator-based heating system with collectors of ‘ideal’ collector coefficients. The second system is a low temperature heating system with solar collectors of moderate efficiency. The investigation shows that the difference in performance of the two systems is in the order of 1–6%.

Determination of the performance of solar systems with the calorimetric method

Michaela Meir; J. Rekstad; M. Peter; L. Henden; Bjornar Sandnes

Abstract A calorimetric method is applied to determine the solar system performance by in-situ measured data. The heat store is interpreted as a calorimeter and the information on charge and discharge is extracted from the shape analysis of the heat store’s temperature profile. The method is applicable to any heating system which includes a heat store. In the present paper, this procedure is presented and applied to determine the solar gain for a large solar system for domestic hot water preparation and a solar combisystem. The uncertainty of this method is in the range of ±10%. The results obtained by the calorimetric method are compared to TRNSYS simulations.
