Automatic balance register for HVAC systems

摘要

A system (100) for controlling an HVAC system of a type having a plurality of HVAC vents, each HVAC vent disposed at a corresponding location in a building, the system comprising a corresponding plurality of intelligent controlled registers (113, 116 , 120, 123, 126, 200), each intelligent controlled register (113, 116, 120, 123,126, 200) associated with one other than the HVAC vents, each of the intelligent controlled registers (113, 116, 120, 123, 126, 200) in communication with at least one of the plurality of intelligent controlled registers (113, 116, 120, 123, 126, 200) and executing an autonomous local control program, such program processing data provided by each one of the other intelligent controlled registers (113, 116, 120, 123, 126, 200) to collectively control the plurality of HVAC vents on a peer-to-peer basis, where each int controlled register Elector (113, 116, 120, 123, 126, 200) comprises: a motor (506) coupled to a controllable shot regulator (300, 303); a temperature sensor (610); a wireless transceiver (603) for communicating with at least one of the plurality of intelligent controlled registers (113, 116, 120, 123, 126, 200); a controller (613) coupled to the motor (506), the temperature sensor (610) and the transceiver (603); a power supply (206) coupled to the motor (506), the transceiver (603) and the controller (613); characterized in that the controller (613) is configured to carry out processes that include: obtaining data from the temperature sensor (610) and, by means of the wireless transceiver (603), data from at least one of the plurality of intelligent controlled registers (113, 116, 120, 123, 126, 200); use the data obtained to automatically determine a desired operation of the shot regulator (300, 303); and drive the motor (506) to cause the desired operation of the trip regulator (300, 303).
