Abstract
Methods for regulating a heating device, which includes a combustion chamber, into which combustion air is introduced via a controllable blower. An operating variable and a speed of the blower are measured. An operating coefficient is determined on the basis of the measured operating variable and the measured speed. A volume flow coefficient is determined on the basis of reference values for the operating coefficient. A volume flow of the combustion air being determined on the basis of the volume flow coefficient. A calibration of the reference values is carried out for the operating coefficient.
Claims9
A method for regulating a heating device, the heating device including a combustion chamber into which combustion air is introduced via a controllable blower, the method comprising the following steps:
- measuring an operating variable and a speed of the blower;
- determining an operating coefficient based on the measured operating variable and the measured speed;
- determining a volume flow coefficient based on reference values for the operating coefficient;
- determining a volume flow of the combustion air based on the volume flow coefficient;
- and
- carrying out a calibration of the reference values for the operating coefficient,
- wherein the calibration takes place using a calibration function which is configured to be adapted to a wear behavior of the blower.
