"ELECTRONIC THERMAL POWER MULTIPLIER"
This invention refers to devices that reduce power consumption, and therefore result in a decrease of the KWatt consumption, in electrical resistors of any type, Fr-Cr-Ni-Al, and of any wattage power capability, which are installed in electrical appliances, panels, convectors, underfloor heating, air heaters, and anything related with resistors, as well as with water heaters with electrodes.
There are commercially available devices, such as capacitors for sine power phase correction, as well as heat pumps, which are used for heating and cooling, due to low consumption, or refrigerator and heater inverters.
This invention refers to an electronic thermal power multiplier, which includes a power supply with 240 Volt AC input voltage and 5 and 12 Volt DC outputs. With these voltages, we supply power to all the components of the electronic device, that is, a digital oscillator - pulse width modulator (PWM), which supplies the frequency accelerator with a pulse signal, which, in turn, after being processed, it is forwarded to the pulse generator, which supplies the electronic command relays with sequential commands, which, in turn, trigger the power relays, which allow AC voltage to go through, which is provided by the power network regulator, in the form of a pulse now, so that we can supply resistors or heating electrodes, sequentially, with a power current, and high frequency rates, whereby the KW consumption is much lower than usual.
This invention aims to develop an electronic thermal power multiplier, which will connected to a power supply of 240 Volt, and 50 or 60 Hz, and after the modulation of the current by the device into a pulse sequential power current, it can be used for supplying the resistors or electrodes of heaters or/and other appliances with resistors, achieving thus high savings in power, always using a ground wire for safety.
According to the invention, this is achieved in any type of resistor, as well as in electrodes used in water heaters and in any electrical appliance, and according to the resistor wattage, we use a corresponding Ampere output in the end modules. The proposed device is fully electronic, has no moving machine parts except for the control switches, and is therefore noiseless, compact, and functioning properly.
The invention is described below with reference to two examples and to the attached drawings, in which:
Drawing 1 shows a front view of the control panel of the electronic thermal power multiplier, and externally you can see the switch controls, input voltage supply, supply sockets for pulse power provided from within the panel, from the electrical circuits that supply the heating appliances, according to this invention.
Drawing 2 shows the whole layout, the connected circuits for generating and distributing the pulse intermittent power to the final output stages, which supply the electrical resistors or heating electrodes of the electronic thermal power multiplier.
Drawing 3 shows the diagram of modulation and alteration, from one stage to the other of the intermittent pulses, which supply the radiators with resistors or electrodes, with power from the electronic thermal power multiplier.
Drawing 4 shows a front view of the installation of a metal component, in the interior of which is the resistor for air circulation. This component can be attached to any type of radiator, in the lower part, and converts it into a heating panel, which is connected to the electronic thermal power multiplier. Drawing 5 shows the installation of a heating electrode to a water radiator, with a small circulator pump, without affecting its current installation.
The electrode is supplied with a low pulse intermittent voltage of 30-90 Volt from the electronic thermal power multiplier.
In order to make it easier for the reader, identical reference numbers are used to describe the same components in the drawings.
In drawing 1 of the electronic thermal power multiplier, 10 shows a front view of the panel (I) which includes, installed externally, the AC input voltage wire (9) the main on - off switch of the circuits (1 1), the switches for operating commands to the radiators (12-18), which provide the operating command to any radiator we wish, or all of them, by supplying them with pulse voltage via the wires (19-25), which have sockets and plugs attached to their ends, which connect them to the radiators (2-8). The operating principle
ί
of the device is as follows: By turning the switch on (1 1) and pressing the thermal switch (32), 240 volts AC mains voltage goes through the voltage regulator (34), in order to supply the final modules of the electronic power relays (40-46) with power, which, in turn, supply the resistors (19-25) with a pulse power current, whose voltage is measured in; Volt by the voltmeter (26), and the measurement of Ampere is performed by the ammeter (27). All voltage settings are carried out by the regulator (28), while the AC voltage that supplies the relays with power, is converted into a pulse power current.
According to drawing 2 of the electronic thermal power multiplier 10 shows
i
the trigger commands, which are derived from the electronic command relays (39), which have received commands from the pulse generator (38), triggered by an electronic signal from the frequency accelerator (37). This, in turn, has been supplied with pulses from the oscillator - pulse width modulator (PWM) (36). All these electronic circuits are supplied with a low 5 and 12 Volt DC voltage from the power supply unit (35), which Has an input voltage of 240 Volt AC. When the circuit (31) is closed by the switch and the indicator (30) is on, all the circuits are then operating, at a low DC voltage, and through the operation of the circuits and electronic power relays, we generate the pulse intermittent power current that we use to supply the resistors and electrodes for water heating. The power relays are only triggered when a switch (12-18) closes the circuit and forwards the command signal.
According to this invention, we see in a diagram in drawing 3, the modulated command signal which is provided by the command relays, to the power relays, and the pulse alteration from one stage to another (B 1-B7), and then to identical intermittent pulses, generating thus the power current of the electronic thermal power multiplier.
According to this invention, we see in drawing 4, the front view of the installation of the metal component (47), which is designed in such a way, so that it can be connected to all the radiators. Inside, there is the air resistor (48), which is connected to the plug (49), which is supplied with a pulse voltage by the electronic thermal power multiplier. In the lower part of the metal component, we see the openings (50) for air supply, with natural convection. The component (51) allows us to connect the aforementioned heating supply metal component, by screwing it to the device (2).
According to this invention, we see in drawing ; (5), the attachment of an electrode (55) to a water radiator (52), to the lower part of which is fitted the small circulator pump (53), and which is supplied with low voltage by the control panel (11) through the voltage terminals (54). The electrode has in its upper part a connection fitting (56) which is screwed to the upper water inlet of the radiator for the circulation of hot water which has been heated by the electrode, since we have supplied the contacts (57-58) with an intermittent pulse voltage power from the panel (1 1) of the electronic thermal power multiplier.
