Heating boiler thermostat (temperature controller)

Automation heating equipment It is used for ease of operation, economical consumption of energy resources. To use the thermostat properly for heating boiler (Thermostat) should be studied modern engineering solutions. Useful overview of the actual market situation. It is also necessary to evaluate the possibility to perform assembly operations on their own, without resorting to expensive professional services.

Why do I need the thermostat for heating boiler (temperature control) in the premises

When designing a new heating equipment pay much attention to efficient use of energy resources:

• electrical heaters create such a way that the formation of a useful infrared occur with maximum efficiency.
• In gas boilers establish permanent flame control system that optimizes the combustion process.
• Using solid fuel create complex shaped chamber in the way the products of combustion output. Then the temperature is increased further coolant.

But the rational use of electricity and fuel will be useless if you do not provide the optimal flow of heat created. To solve this problem we need certain parameters of the individual components.

To fulfill the latter condition need thermoregulator Heating boiler (temperature controller). When used properly, this technique can obtain the following benefits at your disposal:

• Maintaining the desired temperature in the automatic mode, without the need for careful monitoring.
• Energy savings (cash) to 30% and more.
• Remote control, a rapid transition to special regimes.
• Renewals boiler life due to careful operation.

Note! Optimization of the equipment with the help of a temperature sensor for the boiler heating will prolong battery life when power failure. Internal battery technique will work for a long time, which will increase the time to call the professionals to eliminate the emergency.

Temperature sensor for heating boiler functions: adjustable coolant temperature

Typical gas equipment It works as follows. Burners heated coolant to the desired level to the user. He is not a constant. In systems "warm floor" temperature of not more than + 40 ° C. AT radiators it is raised to + 50 ° C and above. Fluid circulates through the use of a special pump. As soon as the temperature reaches the desired level, the flame is extinguished. When the coolant has cooled, the heating is switched on again.

This scheme is characterized by the following features:

• The burner ignites is often enough for a short time. It has about 2-3 minutes for one cycle duration of 5 to 15 minutes.
• Usually, circulation pump all the time.
• When changing weather and temperature conditions inside the premises the user must reconfigure the equipment.

The cost of such thermostat for heating boiler (Mechanical) is not great, but the final price of such a solution will be high. The situation will not change dramatically, if we apply cutting-edge electronics. In this case, problems are created by the principle - the control of secondary parameters. Checking if the temperature of the incoming fluid, and not the parameters in the room, so the corresponding errors appear, increasing the inertia.

Control of temperature conditions inside and outside the premises

Wiser to move the measuring means in the living area. If you set sensors here, it is easier to optimize the operation of the boiler. But not all technology model designed for such connections. In some cases, upgrading using the original product manufacturer is too expensive.

To solve the problem at a reasonable cost is useful to purchase and installation of the remote room thermostat for gas-fired boiler.

Modern boiler control system consists of several parts:

• In this embodiment, directly to the thermostat connected temperature sensors in the rooms and the external air.
• Power provides network adapter. Embedded battery saving efficiency when disconnecting 220V.
• Remote control is set to GSM unit. With it, the user will receive real-time data about the temperature indoors. If desired - it includes the desired mode by a control signal from the phone, tablet. This function is performed under the control of specialized software.
• Commands to the boiler fed by a wired connection. These include heating and pump. It is more economical compared to the built-in thermostat discussed above. The air temperature decreases slower than the coolant, so the burner ignition frequency is lowered. In such circumstances, it extends the life of equipment.

Important! The room thermostats are compatible with the boilers on the control board must be special input jack «Room Thermostat». Appropriate opportunities are listed in the official manufacturer's instructions.

He deserves high marks algorithm of such equipment in the complex. When the sun came out, the temperature has risen in the street, the boiler will not be included. It was cold in the room after airing - no need to reconfigure the equipment for heating and set further adjustments in the normal position. Necessary actions will be executed automatically. Just over one season can recoup the investments made. But in any case, useful Bole thorough study of the technique parameters and models available on the market.

In order to properly choose the right equipment, it is necessary to consider the need for an external temperature sensor. In some models, boilers They are connected directly to the standard electronic control board. With their help optimize the parameters of the inertial processes.

So if the user has set an excessively high temperature, and the street became warmer, batteries will continue to heat even when disconnected the boiler thermostat. given command will be given more quickly in the presence of outdoor sensors. The actual savings in the process of applying active low. Therefore, these advanced features evaluated in conjunction with a specific increase in the cost.

Variety of techniques and selection criteria

thermostats Heating boilers (temperature control) equipped with various hardware and software units. Below are the additional functionality and technical features of modern models:

• Temperature Sensitivity adjustment increments 0,2-0,3 ° C.
• Setting individual switching time schedules for each day of the week.
• Quick selection of the standard program and the creation of algorithms based on personal preferences.
• The use of safe relayIn which the possible formation of sparks during switching.
• Functionality in a wide temperature range, and humidity.

Some important details are displayed in the figures.

How to connect the thermostat to the boiler

It is more convenient to work with temperature controllers for heating boilers, supporting a wireless connection. For example algorithm given installation Salus / Controls iT500:

• such a device controller unit can be placed in any room at a distance of 30-50 meters from the receiver. It is desirable to prevent unwanted external influences on the thermostat. It is fixed to the interior wall, away from the radiatorsNot in direct sunlight. But it is not recommended to install in alcoves and other places where natural air circulation difficult.
• Less distance will happen if thick concrete walls, other obstacles to propagation of radio waves are on the corresponding line. signaling is carried on a carrier frequency of 868 MHz.
• If the object is mounted a few sets, you can change the encoding. To do this, use DIP switches. Assume a choice of 32 options. The distance between the receiving unit stores more than 90 cm to avoid false positives.
• Model Salus / Controls iT500 established in safe design, which allows the use near gas appliances.

The previous operations are performed with the power off 220 V.

General conclusion

The application of wireless thermostat for gas boilers simplifies the operation of heating equipment. The simplest models are inexpensive. But their installation is associated with the laying of wire communications. Therefore, the total costs can increase substantially as compared to the preliminary plan. In a more complex set of radio band is used for transmission of control and monitoring signals. The installation of such products is not difficult to carry out on their own. Their high cost is due to the expanded functionality.
