The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to prepare and use prediction models for classifying images. Some embodiments may: obtain, via a system return temperature sensor, a system return temperature; obtain, via an appliance return temperature sensor, an appliance return temperature; and responsive to a determination that the appliance return temperature is greater than the system return temperature by at least a first threshold amount, decrease, via a hardware processor, a speed of the appliance pump.
1. A method for controlling an appliance pump, the method comprising:
obtaining, via a system return temperature sensor, a system return temperature;
obtaining, via an appliance return temperature sensor, an appliance return temperature; and
responsive to a determination that the appliance return temperature is greater than the system return temperature by at least a first threshold amount, decreasing, via a hardware processor, a speed of the appliance pump until a flow in a secondary loop matches a flow in a primary, system loop.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an appliance and the appliance pump are piped as the secondary loop utilizing a hydraulic separation device.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the appliance is a boiler.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the appliance is a chiller.
5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
responsive to a determination that a temperature change of a fluid in the appliance at an energy input of the appliance breaches a threshold, increasing, via the hardware processor, the speed of the appliance pump.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the hydraulic separation device is a pair of closely-spaced tees.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, via a system supply temperature sensor, a system supply temperature;
obtaining, via an appliance supply temperature sensor, an appliance supply temperature; and
responsive to a determination that the appliance supply temperature is greater than the system supply temperature by at least a second threshold amount, increasing, via the hardware processor, the speed of the appliance pump.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the speed is increased relative to a speed of a system pump.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the appliance pump is a variable-speed appliance circulator.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the speed is decreased relative to a speed of a system pump.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the system pump is a variable-speed system circulator.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is implemented on-board an appliance in a controller without using a third-party device.
13. A method for controlling an appliance pump, the method comprising:
obtaining, via a system supply temperature sensor, a system supply temperature;
obtaining, via an appliance supply temperature sensor, an appliance supply temperature; and
responsive to a determination that the appliance supply temperature is greater than the system supply temperature by at least a threshold amount, increasing, via a hardware processor, a speed of the appliance pump until a flow in a secondary loop matches a flow in a primary, system loop.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein an appliance and the appliance pump are piped as the secondary loop utilizing a hydraulic separation device.
