Abstract
In this report heat quantity measuring and temperature regulation of smaller heating networks have been studied. At lower flows, as well as at lower difference temperatures, the accuracy of the measurement is very low. Today's control of a heating plant endeavour to let the temperature of the water into the heating network follow the heat requirement. This control strategy leads to small heat losses in the network. It also leads to very low difference temperatures when the heat requirement is low (in the summer half). The low difference temperature implicates a debiting error between 3.20%, usually too low. <br><br> The purpose of this work has been to replace the debiting and control units with one, combined unit.

In this report heat quantity measuring and temperature regulation of smaller heating networks have been studied. At lower flows, as well as at lower difference temperatures, the accuracy of the measurement is very low. Today's control of a heating plant endeavour to let the temperature of the water into the heating network follow the heat requirement. This control strategy leads to small heat losses in the network. It also leads to very low difference temperatures when the heat requirement is low (in the summer half). The low difference temperature implicates a debiting error between 3.20%, usually too low. <br><br> The purpose of this work has been to replace the debiting and control units with one, combined unit. Then not only the forward temperature but also the difference temperature and the flow can be controlled. A higher accuracy then can be guaranteed, even though the heat requirement is low. To investigate some strategies a dynamical model of a heating network has been used. Simulations have shown that it's possible to find a new operating point, which leads to a more accurate debiting. A suggestion to a simple, combined debiter-controller is presented. The suggestion has been implemented in a PC-system, ASEA Masterpiece 260. In purpose to verify the theories practically, the PC-system has been installed in a small heating plant. The new control strategy turned out to be very good. The debiting error could be reduced with almost 5%. For a more precise estimation of how much a heat producer can recover, further tests must be done. (Less)
