Abstract
A hydronic system for regulating a temperature of a room can comprise a common fluid storage tank, a pump, a series of hydronic piping, an automated three-way valve, a circuit of room piping, a bypass pipe, a control panel, and a temperature sensor. When a temperature of the room reaches a desired temperature as determined by a user, the control panel actuates the three-way valve to divert the flow of the fluid away from the circuit of room piping such that the fluid flows through the bypass valve and directly to a subsequent room, saving thermal energy stored within the fluid.
Claims9
A system for regulating a temperature of a room, the system comprising:
- a common fluid storage tank for storing a fluid therein;
- a pump fluidly connecting the common fluid storage tank to a series of hydronic piping, for pumping the fluid from the common storage tank throughout the system through the series of hydronic piping;
- an automated three-way valve fluidly connected to the series of hydronic piping, for diverting and redirecting a flow of the fluid flowing through the hydronic piping;
- a circuit of room piping fluidly connected to the automated three-way valve for receiving a portion of the flow of the fluid flowing through the hydronic piping;
- a bypass pipe fluidly connected to the automated three-way valve for receiving another portion of the flow of the fluid flowing through the hydronic piping;
- a control panel operatively connected to the three-way valve for actuating the three-way valve;
- and
- a temperature sensor operatively connected to the control panel for determining a temperature in the room,
- wherein when a temperature of the room reaches a desired temperature as determined by a user, the control panel actuates the three-way valve to divert the flow of the fluid away from the circuit of room piping such that the fluid flows through the bypass valve and directly to a subsequent room.
