Abstract
According to various embodiments, a heating system for heating a building and/or for preparing hot water is provided. The heating system can comprise a heat distributing device; and a computer, which is coupled to the heat distributing device in such a way that the heat produced by the computer is distributed in the building by means of the heat distributing device; wherein the computer is designed in such a way that the computer produces a message for a computing load distribution computer, wherein the message contains a piece of information about the heat demand of the heating system and/or of the building.
Claims18
A heating system for heating a building and/or for preparing hot water, comprising:
- a heat distributing device;
- and
- a computer which is coupled to the heat distributing device,
- a control device coupled to the computer, wherein the control device is configured to operate autonomously and to produce and transmit a message for a computing load distribution computer, the message comprising information about a heat increase demand to increase a temperature of the heating system and/or of the building,
- wherein the computer is configured to be switched on by powering said computer up and switched off by powering said computer down as a function of a computing load of the computer.
A computer of a heating system for heating a building and/or for preparing hot water,
- wherein the computer is configured to be switched on by powering said computer up and switched off by powering said computer down as a function of a computing load of the computer;
- and
- a transmitter provided as a separate module coupled to the computer and configured to produce a message for a computing load distribution computer, wherein the message contains information about a heat increase demand of the heating system and/or of the building and/or of the water and further configured to transmit the message to the computing load distribution computer;
- and
- a receiver provided as a separate module coupled to the computer and configured to receive one or more messages from the computing load distribution computer that requests execution of calculations.
A method for operating a heating system for heating a building and/or for preparing hot water, wherein the method comprises:
- determining a heat demand of the heating system and/or of the building and/or of the water;
- producing a message for a computing load distribution computer with information about the heat demand of the heating system and/or of the building by means of a control device coupled to a computer, wherein the message comprises information about a heat demand to increase a temperature of the heating system or the building;
- and
- switching the computer on by powering the computer up and switching the computer off by powering the computer down as a function of a computing load of the computer in reaction to the reception of a switch-on/switch-off message received by a computing load distribution computer.
