Climate control system
The invention relates to an improved climate control system in which a climate controlling equipment ( 1 ) has a control line ( 2 ) arranged to be connected to climate influenced impedance means ( 3 ). According to the invention, relay means ( 4 ) are arranged to disconnect the climate influenced impedance means from the control line under influence from an output ( 5 ) of a control unit ( 6 ) and to instead connect substituting means ( 7 ) providing an impedance controlled by a second output ( 8 ) of the control unit. The latter is connected to a processor ( 9 ) arranged to receive information from a plurality of climate influenced information means ( 10, 11, 12 ) and to process the same in a mathematical model for controlling the impedance of the substituting means via the control unit.
1. A climate control system in which a climate controlling equipment has a control line arranged to be connected to climate influenced impedance means, wherein relay means are arranged to disconnect the climate influenced impedance means from the control line in accordance with an output of a control unit and to instead connect, to the control line, substituting means providing an impedance controlled by a second output of the control unit, the control unit being connected to a processor arranged to receive climate information from a plurality of climate influenced information means and to process the climate information from the plurality of climate influenced information means in a mathematical model for controlling the impedance of the substituting means via the control unit.
2. A climate control system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is provided with measuring means for determining, in a disconnected mode of the climate influenced impedance means, the characteristics of the climate influenced impedance means, in order to control the impedance of the substituting means at least initially and to frequently verify the characteristics of the climate influenced impedance means for a possible return to a connected mode.
3. A climate control system according to claim 2 , wherein suitable galvanic isolation means are provided for the measuring means of the control unit and for the second output of the control unit.
4. A climate control system according to claim 3 , wherein the galvanic isolation means consist of capacitors and the substituting means comprise AC/DC converter means and voltage controlled impedance means.
5. A climate control system according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit has polarity probing means connected to the substituting means so as to obtain an indication of whether a connection to the sensor line results in a voltage with an appropriate polarity or not, the connection of the substituting means corresponding to the polarity indication and by means of a two pole two way relay controlled by a third output of the control unit arranged to be maintained or inverted, respectively.
