Abstract

A control device for an HVAC system is provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to control devices that facilitate adjustment of heating and cooling setpoints. In one embodiment, the control device allows for concurrent adjustment of the heating and cooling setpoints while maintaining a desired deadband value therebetween.

IPC Classes  ?

• F24F 11/523 - Indication arrangements, e.g. displays for displaying temperature data
• F24F 11/80 - Control systems characterised by their outputs; Constructional details thereof for controlling the temperature of the supplied air

Abstract

An HVAC system is provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an HVAC system in which multiple indoor units are coupled to central outdoor unit, where at least one of the indoor units is configured to provide conditioned air through ductwork and at least one indoor unit is configured to provide conditioned air without ductwork. Moreover, a gas furnace can be provided in the system, for harsher environments that benefit from more robust heating. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

IPC Classes  ?

• F24F 11/46 - Improving electric energy efficiency or saving
• F24F 1/08 - Compressors specially adapted for separate outdoor units
• F24F 1/32 - Refrigerant piping for connecting the separate outdoor unit to indoor units
• F24F 3/06 - Air-conditioning systems in which conditioned primary air is supplied from one or more central stations to distributing units in the rooms or spaces where it may receive secondary treatment; Apparatus specially designed for such systems characterised by the arrangements for the supply of heat-exchange fluid for the subsequent treatment of primary air in the room units
• F24F 11/64 - Electronic processing using pre-stored data
• F24F 11/65 - Electronic processing for selecting an operating mode
• F24F 11/80 - Control systems characterised by their outputs; Constructional details thereof for controlling the temperature of the supplied air
• F24H 3/00 - Air heaters
• G05B 19/042 - Programme control other than numerical control, i.e. in sequence controllers or logic controllers using digital processors
• F25B 30/02 - Heat pumps of the compression type
• F25B 49/02 - Arrangement or mounting of control or safety devices for compression type machines, plants or systems
• F25B 13/00 - Compression machines, plants or systems, with reversible cycle

Abstract

An HVAC system is provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an HVAC system in which a first controller is configured to provide a communicating protocol to a first HVAC component and a second controller is configured to receive a communicating protocol from the first controller and output an on/off protocol to a second HVAC component
