An automated control unit is a set of equipment and devices designed to provide automatic regulation of temperature and coolant flow, which is carried out at the input of each building in accordance with the temperature schedule required for an individual building. Adjustments can also be made according to the needs of the residents.
Water heater piping unit.
Among the advantages of the ACU, when compared with elevator and thermal units that have a fixed cross-section of the passage opening, is the possibility of varying the amount of coolant, which depends on the temperature of the water in the return and supply pipelines.
An automated control unit is usually installed alone for the entire building, which distinguishes it from elevator unit, which is mounted on each section of the house.
In this case, the installation is carried out after the unit that takes into account the thermal energy of the system.
Image 1. Schematic diagram of an ACU with mixing pumps on a jumper for temperatures up to ACU t = 150-70 ˚C with one- and two-pipe heating systems with thermostats (P1 – P2 ≥ 12 m water column).
The automated control unit is represented by a diagram illustrated in PICTURE 1. The diagram provides: an electronic unit (1), which is represented by a control panel; external temperature level sensor (2); temperature sensors in the coolant in the return and supply pipelines (3); valve for regulating flow, equipped with a gear drive (4); valve for adjusting the differential pressure (5); filter (6); circulation pump (7); check valve (8).
As the diagram shows, the control unit fundamentally consists of 3 parts: network, circulation and electronic.
The network part of the ACU includes a coolant flow regulator valve with a gear drive, a differential pressure regulator valve with a spring control element and a filter.
The circulation part of the control unit includes a mixing pump with a check valve. A pair of pumps are used for mixing. In this case, pumps must be used that satisfy the requirements of the automatic unit: they must operate alternately with a cycle of 6 hours. Their operation should be monitored by a signal from a sensor that is responsible for the pressure difference (the sensor is installed on the pumps).
Advantages and principle of operation of the automatic unit
Heating and hot water control unit for open circuit.
The electronic part of the control unit includes an electronic unit or the so-called control panel. It is designed to provide automatic control of pumping and thermal mechanical equipment to maintain the required temperature schedule. With its help, the hydraulic schedule is maintained, which should form the basis of the heating system of the entire building.
The electronic part also contains an ECL card, which is intended for programming the controller, the latter is responsible for the thermal mode. The system also includes an outdoor temperature sensor, which is installed on the northern façade of the building. Among other things, there are temperature sensors for the coolant itself in the return and supply pipelines.

Errors can occur even at the time of planning and subsequent organization of work on the implementation of a heating system. Certain mistakes are often made at the time of selection technical solution. You should not miss the rules for installing an individual heating point. Ultimately, at the time of installation of the heating control unit, duplication of the functionality of the equipment that is installed in the central heating center may occur; this, in turn, contradicts the rules for operating heating installations. Thus, installing heating control units with a balancing valve can lead to high hydraulic resistance in the system, which will entail the need to replace or reconstruct thermal and mechanical equipment.
Non-comprehensive installation of heating control units can also be called a mistake, which will certainly disrupt the established thermal and hydraulic balance in intra-block networks. This will cause deterioration in the performance of the heating system of almost every connected building. Need to do thermal adjustment at the time of operation heating equipment.
Often errors occur during the input of the heating control unit at the design stage. This is due to the lack of working projects, the use standard project devoid of calculations, binding and selection of equipment to certain conditions. The consequence is a violation of heat supply regimes.
Return to contents
Heating and hot water control unit according to an independent circuit.
The selected installation diagrams for heating control units may not correspond to the required ones, which negatively affects the heat supply. It also happens that at the time of commissioning the system, the technical conditions used do not correspond to the real parameters. This may lead to wrong choice node diagrams.
At the time of commissioning the automation unit, it should be taken into account that the heating system may have previously undergone major repairs and reconstruction, during which the circuit could have been changed from a single-pipe to a two-pipe. Problems may arise when the calculation of a unit is made for a system that existed before reconstruction.
The system commissioning process should not be carried out winter period so that the system is launched in a timely manner.
Scheme of an automated control unit for the heating system (AHU) of a house.
It should be remembered that air temperature sensors must be mounted on the north side, which is necessary for correct temperature setting; in this case, solar radiation will not be able to affect the heating of the sensor.
During the commissioning process, backup power to the node must be provided, which will help avoid stopping the central heating system during a power outage. It is necessary to make adjustments and adjustment work, as well as noise reduction measures, maintenance of the unit must take place. It should be noted that failure to comply with one or more rules may lead to the system not warming up, and the lack of muffling equipment will lead to uncomfortable noise.
The implementation of a control unit must be accompanied by verification of issued technical specifications, they must correspond to actual data. A technical Supervision must be carried out at each stage of work. After all work on the system has been completed, maintenance of the unit should begin, which is carried out by a specialized organization. Otherwise, downtime of expensive equipment of an automated unit or its unqualified maintenance can lead to failure and other negative consequences, including loss of technical documentation.

An example of a diagram of a control unit for heating systems and heat supply installations.
The use of the unit will be most effective in cases where the house has subscribed elevator units of heating systems that are directly connected to the city heat main networks. Such use will also be effective in the conditions of end houses connected to central heating stations, where there are insufficient pressure drops in the central heating system with the obligatory installation of central heating pumps.
The effectiveness of use is also noted in houses that are equipped gas water heaters and central heating, such buildings may also have decentralized hot water supply.
It is recommended to install automated units comprehensively, covering all non-residential and residential buildings that were connected to the central heating point. Installation and delivery, as well as subsequent acceptance into operation of the entire system and associated equipment of the unit must be carried out simultaneously.
It should be noted that with the installation of an automated unit, the following measures will be effective:
- Converting the central heating station, which has a dependent connection scheme for individual heating systems, to one that will be independent. In this case, installing an expansion membrane tank at a heating point will also be effective.
- Installation in a central heating substation, which is characterized by a dependent circuit for connecting equipment similar to an automated control unit.
- Carrying out the adjustment of intra-block central heating networks with the installation of throttle diaphragms and design nozzles at the input and distribution nodes.
- Converting dead-end hot water systems to circulation circuits.

Installation of automatic control units
Installation of an automated control unit (ACU) of a central heating system allows you to provide:
Monitoring the implementation of the required temperature schedule of both supply and return coolant depending on the outside air temperature (preventing the building from overheating);
Function rough cleaning coolant supplied to the heating system;
From all of the above, it follows that the main motivation for using ACU for a central heating system is, first of all, the technical need to ensure the functioning of a modern energy-efficient heating system equipped with thermostats and balancing valves.
The use of thermostats and automatic balancing valves makes a significant difference modern systems from previously used unregulated heating systems.
Variable hydraulic operating mode of the heating system, associated with the dynamics of the thermostatic valves.
Installation of automatic balancing valves on central heating system risers
For stable operation of the heating system in all operating modes (and not just in design conditions at -28? C), it is necessary to use automatic balancing valves.
Automatic balancing valves are designed, first of all, to create favorable hydraulic conditions for the efficient operation of thermostats.
Automatic balancing valves also provide:
Hydraulic balancing (linking) of individual rings of the heating system, i.e. distribute the required (design) coolant flow evenly along the risers of the heating system;
Dividing the heating system into hydraulic zones that do not affect the operation of each other;
Elimination of the phenomenon of excessive consumption of coolant along the risers of the heating system;
Significant simplification of work on setting up (readjusting) the heating system;
They stabilize the dynamic operating mode of the heating system due to the response of radiator thermostats to changes in temperature inside the living room.
Installation of radiator thermostats on heating devices
Individual quantitative regulation of thermal energy can be realized by using thermostats on heating devices.
Radiator thermostats are means of individually regulating air temperature in heated rooms, maintaining it at a constant level set by the consumer himself.
Thermostats allow:
Use the free amount of excess heat from people, household appliances, solar radiation, etc., directing them as much as possible for space heating and thereby saving thermal energy and funds to pay for it;
Ensure a comfortable temperature in the room, ensuring the most comfortable living conditions;
Eliminate indoor temperature regulation through open vents, thereby maximizing the conservation of thermal energy inside the premises and reducing the consumption of hot water for the heating system.
With this integrated approach automation of the central heating system is achieved:
Maximum heat savings;
High level comfort of living;
Interaction of all elements of the system;
Automated control unit (AUU)
Until now, an elevator coolant mixing unit was used at the entrance to the building. This elementary device is suitable only for heating systems in which the task of energy saving was not set.
The main fundamental distinctive features of modern energy-saving systems are:
Increased hydraulic resistance of the heating system compared to older systems;
Variable hydraulic operating mode of the heating system, associated with the dynamics of the thermostatic valves;
Increased requirements to maintain the design pressure drop.
As a consequence, the use of elevator units in such systems in any design becomes impossible, because:
The elevator is not able to overcome the increased hydraulic resistance of the heating system;
The presence of elevator units in the heating system with thermostatic valves leads to overheating of risers during the warm period of the heating season and their cooling during periods of significant cooling;
The elevator, as a device with a constant mixing coefficient, does not prevent the danger of overestimating the temperature of the return coolant that occurs when the thermostats operate, and ensure the maintenance of the temperature schedule.
The above-mentioned technical disadvantages of using an elevator indicate the need to replace it with automated control units (ACU), which provide:
Pump circulation of coolant in the heating system;
Monitoring compliance with the required temperature schedule of both supply and return coolant (prevention of overheating and overcooling of buildings);
Maintaining a constant pressure drop at the entrance to the building, which ensures that the automatic heating system operates in the design mode;
The function of rough cleaning of the coolant supplied to the system in operating mode and cleaning of the coolant when the system is filled;
Visual monitoring of parameters of temperature, pressure and pressure drop of the coolant at the inlet and outlet of the ACU;
Opportunity remote control coolant parameters and operating modes of main equipment, including alarms.
From all of the above, it follows that the main motivation for the use of automated control units is, first of all, the technical need to ensure the functioning of a modern energy-efficient heating system equipped with thermostats and other control devices.
Ready project bindings, depending on further ownership of the operation, are agreed upon by the heat supply organization.
The automated control unit consists of:
Pump with variable frequency drive;
Shut-off valves(Ball Valves);
Control valves (electrically driven valve);
Hydraulic pressure regulators of direct action (pressure differential or “upstream”);
Pipeline fittings (filters, check valves);
Instrumentation devices (pressure gauges, thermometers);
External and internal air temperature sensors and differential pressure switches;
Control panel with built-in controller.
Local regulation
High-quality local automatic control of coolant parameters for a heating system can only be carried out if there is an electric circulation pump in its circuit.
Digital electronic controllers of the series are used for regulation. These controllers, based on the relationship between the readings of the coolant temperature sensors and the outside air, control the motor control valves through which the coolant is supplied from the heating system.
AAU has a large range of products actuators- globe and three-way control valves, which are driven by electric actuators.
Actuators differ in power and speed of movement of the rod, and the presence of a return spring that closes or opens the valve when the power supply disappears. In order to stabilize the hydraulic regimes of external heating networks and to ensure the operation of actuators in the optimal pressure range, a differential pressure regulator is installed at the entrance to the building, or a pressure regulator is installed “upstream” on the return pipeline.
Automatic balancing valves
Automatic balancing valves of this type are installed on risers or horizontal branches of two-pipe heating systems in order to stabilize the pressure drop in them at the level required for optimal operation of automatic radiator thermostats. Used for major renovation apartment buildings balancing valves for two-pipe heating systems are a constant pressure differential regulator, the control membrane of which is supplied with a positive pressure pulse from the supply riser of the heating system through the impulse tube and a negative pulse from the return riser through the internal channels of the valve.
The impulse tube is connected to the supply riser through stop valve or shut-off and balancing valve. The balancing valve is reconfigurable. It can support differential pressures in the ranges of 0.05-0.25 or 0.2-0.4 bar.
The valve is adjusted to the pressure drop adopted in the design by rotating its spindle a certain number of revolutions from the closed position. The valve is also a shut-off valve.
In addition, valves DN = 15–40 mm have a drain valve for draining the heating system riser.
Automatic balancing valves type AB-QM are installed on risers or horizontal branches of single-pipe heating systems in order to maintain a constant coolant flow in them.
The AB-QM balancing valves are adjusted by turning the ring intended for this purpose until the mark on it aligns with the number on the scale indicating the percentage (%) of the maximum flow rate according to the line of the table.
Radiator thermostats
Thermostats used in major home renovations are a combination of two parts: a control valve, type RTD-N or RTD-G, and an automatic thermostatic element, usually RTD.
Design and principle of operation of the thermostatic element
The thermocouple is the main automatic control device. Inside the RTD type thermoelement there is a closed corrugated container - a bellows, which is connected through the thermoelement rod to the spool of the control valve.
The bellows is filled with a gaseous substance that changes its state of aggregation under the influence of changes in air temperature in the room. As the air temperature decreases, the gas in the bellows begins to condense, the volume and pressure of the gaseous component decrease, the bellows stretches (see design features in Fig. 3), moving the valve stem and spool towards opening. The amount of water passing through the heating device increases, and the air temperature rises. When the air temperature begins to exceed a predetermined value, the liquid medium evaporates, the volume of gas and its pressure increase, the bellows compresses, moving the rod with the spool towards closing the valve.
Radiator thermostat valves for two-pipe heating systems
The RTD-N valve is a valve of increased hydraulic resistance with pre-installation setting of its limit bandwidth. Valves are used with a nominal diameter from 10 to 25 mm, straight and angular, nickel-plated.
Main technical characteristics of RTD-N valves:
Radiator thermostat valves for single-pipe heating systems RTD-G - a valve of reduced hydraulic resistance without a device to limit its capacity. The valves are used with a nominal diameter of 15 to 25 mm with a nickel-plated body. They also come in straight and angular shapes.
The main technical characteristics of RTD-G valves are given below:
Installation and adjustment of automated heating systems
Automated heating systems do not require complex instrument setup. All adjustment of systems carried out in accordance with the project boils down to the following:
1. Setting the presets of the valves of radiator thermostats to the calculated and specified in the project throughput values (setting indices). The adjustment is made without the use of any tools by turning the tuning crown until the digital index on it aligns with the mark drilled on the valve body. The setting is hidden from outside interference under a thermostatic element installed on the valve.
2. Setting the automatic balancing valve ASV-PV in a two-pipe heating system to the required pressure drop. When shipped from the factory, the ASV-PV is set to a differential pressure of 10 kPa. A hex key is used for adjustment. The valve must first be fully opened by rotating its handle counterclockwise. Then insert the key into the hole of the rod and rotate it clockwise until it stops, after which the key is again turned counterclockwise by the number of turns corresponding to the required adjustable pressure difference. Thus, to adjust the ASV-PV valve with a setting range of 0.05–0.25 bar to a pressure difference of 15 kPa, the key must be turned 10 turns, and to adjust to 20 kPa - 5 turns. 3. Setting the automatic balancing valve AB-QM in a one-pipe heating system to the calculated flow rate through the riser. The adjustment is made by manually turning the adjustment ring of the AB-QM valve until the flow value, expressed as a percentage (%) of maximum flow through a valve of the accepted diameter, with a red mark on the valve neck.
Setting the thermostat to the required temperature
In order for the thermostat to be ready for operation, a thermostatic head must be installed on it. All you need to do is set the desired heating level on the thermostatic head. After this, the thermostat will independently maintain the set temperature in the room, increasing or decreasing the flow of hot water through the heating device. You can also set any intermediate temperature value.
This way, you can set each room to its own temperature, regardless of the temperature in other rooms. For reliable and accurate operation, do not block the thermostat with furniture or curtains to ensure constant influx air.
The thermostat does not require maintenance, is not sensitive to the composition and temperature of the water, and its performance is not affected by a break in the heating season.

Automated control units for engineering systems: what you need to know when planning a major overhaul of apartment buildings
We will help you understand the concepts associated with control units for heating and hot water systems, as well as the conditions and methods of using these units. After all, inaccuracy of terminology can lead to confusion in determining, for example, the permitted type of work during the overhaul of a multi-unit building.
The equipment of the control unit reduces the consumption of thermal energy to the standard level when it enters the MKD in an increased volume. A common terminology must correctly reflect the functional load that such equipment carries. There is no desired unity yet. And misunderstandings arise, for example, when replacing a unit of an outdated design with a modern automated one is called unit modernization. In this case, the outdated unit will not be improved, that is, not modernized, but simply replaced with a new one. Replacement and modernization is independent species works
Let's figure out what it is - an automated control unit.
- Development of communal infrastructure: measure seven times...
What types of control units are there for heating and water supply systems?
Control units for any type of energy or resource include equipment that directs this energy (or resource) to consumers and, if necessary, regulates its parameters. Even a collector in a house can be classified as a thermal energy control unit, receiving coolant with the parameters necessary for the heating system and directing it to various branches of this system.
In MKDs connected to a heating network with high coolant parameters (water superheated to 150 °C), elevator units and automated control units can be installed. DHW parameters can also be adjusted.
In the elevator unit, the coolant parameters (temperature and pressure) are reduced to the specified values, that is, one of the main control functions is carried out - regulation.
In an automated control unit, automation with feedback regulates the parameters of the coolant, ensuring the desired air temperature in the room, regardless of outside temperature air, and maintains the required pressure difference in the supply and return pipelines.
Automated heating system control units (AHU SO) can be of two types.
In the first type CO control unit, the coolant temperature is brought to the specified values by mixing water from the supply and return pipelines using network pumps, without installing an elevator. The process is carried out automatically using feedback from a temperature sensor installed in the room. The coolant pressure is also automatically adjusted.
Manufacturers give automated units of this type a variety of names: heat control unit, unit weather regulation, weather control unit, weather control mixing unit, automated mixing unit, etc.
Subtlety
The adjustment must be complete
Some enterprises produce automated units that regulate only the temperature of the coolant. The absence of a pressure regulator can cause an accident.
AUU CO of the second type incorporates plate heat exchangers and forms independent system heating. Manufacturers often call them heating points. This is not true and causes confusion when placing orders.
In MKD DHW systems, liquid thermostats (TRR) can be installed, which regulate the water temperature, and automated DHW system control units that ensure the supply of water at a given temperature according to an independent circuit.
As you can see, not only automated nodes can be classified as control nodes. And the opinion that outdated elevator units and TRZ are incompatible with this concept is incorrect.
The formation of an erroneous opinion was influenced by the wording in Part 2 of Art. 166 Housing Code of the Russian Federation: “nodes for controlling and regulating the consumption of thermal energy, hot and cold water, gas." It cannot be called correct. Firstly, regulation is one of the functions of management, and this word should not have been used in the above context. Secondly, the word “consumption” can also be considered redundant: all the energy entering the node is consumed and measured by instruments. At the same time, there is no information about the target to which the control unit directs thermal energy. We can say more specifically: a control unit for thermal energy spent on heating (or hot water supply).
By managing thermal energy, we ultimately control heating or hot water systems. Therefore, we will use the terms “heating system control unit” and “DHW system control unit.”
Automated units are new generation control units. They respond the most modern requirements requirements for the subject of control of heating and hot water systems, and make it possible to raise the technological level of these systems to complete automation of the processes of regulating the parameters of the temperature regime of air in the premises and water in the hot water supply, as well as automation of heat consumption metering.
Elevator units and TRZ, due to their design, cannot meet the above requirements. Therefore, we classify them as control units of the previous (old) generation.
So, let's summarize the first results. There are four types of control units for heating and hot water systems. When choosing a control unit, find out what type it is.
- Repair work on the water supply using a “spray pipe”
Can you trust the names?
Manufacturers of control units based on mixing coolant from the supply and return pipelines often call their products weather regulators. This name does not reflect their properties and purpose at all.
The automated control unit does not regulate the weather. Depending on the outside air temperature, it regulates the temperature of the coolant. This way the room maintains the set air temperature. But automated units with heat exchangers and even elevator units do the same thing (but with less accuracy).
Therefore, let’s clarify the name: automated unit (mixing type) for controlling the heating system. Next, you can add its name assigned by the manufacturer.
Manufacturers of automated control units with heat exchangers usually call their products heat points (TS). Let's turn to regulatory documents.
To make sure that it is incorrect to identify automated units with TP, let us turn to SNiP 41-02-2003 and their updated version - SP 124.13330.2012.
SNiP 41-02-2003 “Heat networks” considers a heating point as a separate room that meets special requirements, which houses a set of equipment for connecting thermal energy consumers to the heating network and giving this energy the specified parameters for temperature and pressure.
SP 124.13330.2012 defines a heat station as a structure with a set of equipment that allows you to change the thermal and hydraulic conditions of the coolant, provide accounting and regulation of the consumption of thermal energy and coolant. This is a good definition of a TP, to which the function of connecting equipment to the heating network should be added.
In the Rules for the Technical Operation of Thermal Power Installations (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), a TP is a set of devices located in a separate room, providing connection to the heating network, control of heat distribution modes and regulation of coolant parameters.
In all cases, the TP links together the complex of equipment and the room in which it is located.
SNiP divides heating points into free-standing, attached to buildings and built into buildings. In MKD, TPs are usually built-in.
A heating point can be group or individual - serving one building or part of a building.
Now let's formulate a correct definition.
An individual heating point (IHP) is a room in which a set of equipment is installed for connecting to the heating network and supplying consumers with an MKD or one part of it with coolant with regulation of its thermal and hydraulic conditions to give the coolant parameters a given value for temperature and pressure.
In this definition of ITP, the main importance is given to the room in which the equipment is located. This was done, firstly, because such a definition is more consistent with the definition presented in SNiP and SP. Secondly, it warns about the incorrectness of using the concepts ITP, TP and the like to designate automated control units for heating and hot water supply systems manufactured at various enterprises.
Let us also clarify the name of the control unit of the type under consideration: an automated unit (with heat exchangers) for controlling the heating system. Manufacturers may indicate their own product name.
- About the situation in the heat supply, water supply and sanitation industries
How to qualify work with the control unit
Certain works are associated with the use of automated control units:
- installation of control unit;
- repair of control unit;
- replacing the control unit with a similar one;
- modernization of the control unit;
- replacement of an outdated design unit with a new generation unit.
Let us clarify what meaning is embedded in each of the listed works.
Installation of the control unit implies its absence and the need for installation in the MKD. This situation may arise, for example, when two or more houses are connected to one elevator unit (houses on a coupling) and it is necessary to install an elevator unit on each house to be able to separately account for heat energy consumption and increase responsibility for the operation of the entire heating system in each house. You can install any control unit.
Control unit repair engineering systems ensures the elimination of physical wear and tear with the possibility of partial elimination of obsolescence.
Replacing the unit with a similar one that does not have physical wear assumes the same result as when repairing the unit, and can be done instead of repair.
Modernization of a unit means its renewal, improvement with the complete elimination of physical and partial obsolescence within the existing design of the unit. Both direct improvement of an existing unit and its replacement with an improved unit are all types of modernization. An example is the replacement of an elevator unit with a similar unit with adjustable nozzle elevator
Replacing units of an outdated design with units of a new generation involves the installation of automated control units for heating and hot water systems instead of elevator units and fuel distribution units. In this case, physical and moral wear and tear is completely eliminated.
All these are independent types of work. This conclusion is confirmed by Part 2 of Art. 166 Housing Code of the Russian Federation, where as an example independent work The installation of the thermal energy control unit is shown.
Why do you need to determine the type of work?
Why is it so important to classify this or that work related to control units as a certain type of independent work? This is of fundamental importance when performing selective overhauls. Such repairs are carried out from the capital repair fund, formed through mandatory contributions from the owners of premises to the apartment building.
The list of works on selective major repairs is given in Part 1 of Art. 166 Housing Code of the Russian Federation. The above-mentioned independent works were not included. However, in Part 2 of Art. 166 of the RF Housing Code states that a subject of the Russian Federation may supplement this list with other works by the relevant law. In this case, it becomes fundamentally important that the wording included in the list of work corresponds to the nature of the planned use of the control unit. Simply put, if a unit was to be modernized, then the list should include work with exactly the same name.
St. Petersburg expanded the list of overhaul works
In 2016, the Law of St. Petersburg dated December 11, 2013 No. 690–120 “On major repairs of common property in apartment buildings in St. Petersburg” included the following independent work in the list of works for selective major repairs: installation of control units and regulation of thermal energy, hot and cold water, electrical energy, gas.
The wording is completely borrowed from the Housing Code of the Russian Federation with all the inaccuracies that we noted earlier. At the same time, it clearly indicates the possibility of installing a control unit and regulation of thermal energy, i.e., a control unit for the heating system and hot water supply system, during selective major repairs carried out in accordance with this law.
The need to perform such independent work is due to the desire to separate houses on a coupling, i.e., houses whose heating systems receive coolant from one elevator unit, and install on each house its own heating system control unit.
The amendment made to the law of St. Petersburg allows the installation of both a simple elevator unit and any automated control unit for engineering systems. But it does not allow, for example, replacing an elevator unit with an automated control unit at the expense of the capital repair fund.
- In the morning, a loan - in the evening, major repairs in the apartment building
Automated mixing units, which do not include a pressure regulator, are not recommended for use in high-temperature heat supply networks. Automated DHW system control units should be installed only with heat exchangers that form closed system DHW.
conclusions
- Control nodes include all nodes that direct energy into the heating or hot water system with the regulation of its parameters - from outdated elevators and fuel distribution centers to modern automated nodes.
- When considering proposals from manufacturers and suppliers of automated control units, it is necessary to beautiful names weather regulators and heating points to recognize which of the following types of components the proposed product belongs to:
- automated mixing-type unit for heating system control;
- automated unit with heat exchangers for controlling a heating system or hot water supply system.
After determining the type of automated unit, you should study in detail its purpose, technical characteristics, cost of the product and installation work, operating conditions, frequency of repair and replacement of equipment, operating costs and other factors.
- When deciding to use an automated control unit for engineering systems during selective major repairs of apartment buildings, you need to make sure that the selected type of independent work for installation, repair, modernization or replacement of the control unit exactly corresponds to the name of the work included in the list of capital works by the law of the subject of the Russian Federation MKD repair. Otherwise, the selected type of work to use the control unit will not be paid for from the capital repair fund.

Automated heating system control unit
Brief description of the device
An automated control unit for a heating system is a type of individual heating point and is designed to control the parameters of the coolant in the heating system depending on the outside temperature and operating conditions of the buildings.
The unit consists of a correction pump, an electronic temperature controller that maintains a given temperature graph and differential pressure and flow regulators. Structurally, these are pipeline blocks mounted on a metal support frame, including a pump, control valves, elements of electric drives and automation, instrumentation, filters, and mud collectors.
The automated control unit for the heating system contains control elements from Danfoss and a pump from Grundfoss. The control units are completed taking into account the recommendations of Danfoss specialists, who provide consulting services in the development of these units.
The node works as follows. When conditions arise when the temperature in the heating network exceeds the required one, the electronic controller turns on the pump, which adds as much cooled coolant from the return pipeline to the heating system as is necessary to maintain the set temperature. The hydraulic water regulator, in turn, closes, reducing the supply of network water.
Operating mode of the automated heating system control unit in winter time 24/7, the temperature is maintained in accordance with the temperature schedule with correction based on the return water temperature.
At the customer's request, a temperature reduction mode can be provided in heated rooms at night, on weekends and holidays, which provides significant savings.
Reducing the air temperature in residential buildings at night by 2-3°C does not worsen sanitary and hygienic conditions and at the same time provides savings of 4-5%. In industrial and administrative buildings, heat savings by lowering the temperature during non-working hours are achieved to an even greater extent. The temperature during non-working hours can be maintained at 10-12 °C. Total heat savings with automatic control can be up to 25% of annual consumption. IN summer period the automated node is not working.
The plant produces automated heating system control units, their installation, commissioning, warranty and service maintenance.
Energy saving is especially important because... It is through the implementation of energy-efficient measures that the consumer achieves maximum savings.

The share of heating costs is predominant in utility bills throughout our country. Moreover, in the northern regions, as well as where imported fuel oil is used as fuel, thermal energy is especially expensive. For this reason, the issue of economical consumption and reasonable use of thermal energy is one of the most pressing today.
As you know, saving begins with accounting. Today, meters of thermal energy supplied to the apartment house. Statistics show that this simple measure has reduced heating costs by 20, and sometimes even 30%. But this is not enough, we need to move on and the vector of this movement should be directed towards apartment-by-apartment heat metering and reducing energy consumption depending on the reduction in energy needs.
To do this, it will be necessary to reconstruct the elevator input and install a control unit for the heat supply system with automatic regulation its operation depending on the outside temperature. It is also necessary to install pumps with frequency control of their operation. Most efficient system will be when installing a temperature control sensor and a heat energy consumption meter on each heating radiator.
Of course, this will require funds, which, according to preliminary calculations, should be recouped within two years of operation of the system. You can use funds from the federal program for increasing the efficiency of using energy resources, take out a loan and repay it using monthly money received from residents, highlighting a separate column for the costs of reconstructing the heating system. You can simply “chip in” and thereby stop throwing your own money into environment together with irrationally used thermal energy.
The main thing is to understand that the heating system that exists today, especially during the off-season, is like a fire lit on the balcony: it warms, but not what is needed.
Perfect option
Ideal option heating system for the consumer is heating network, automatically maintaining the specified temperature regime in each room. At the same time, the motivation for residents to install and use it should be not only comfortable living conditions (you can simply regulate the temperature by opening a balcony door or window to the street), but also a reduction in heating bills.
For this you need apartment system metering of thermal energy consumption. Sales companies insist that in our country, with its traditional vertical distribution of the heating system, it is impossible to install a heat meter in every apartment, but at the same time they lose sight of (or there is simply no desire to see and take into account) that heat meters can be installed in every heating radiator, without changing the two-pipe or single-pipe vertical heat distribution to horizontal.
When calculating for heat, it is enough to sum up the readings of all meters. Even an elementary school student can handle this.
Individual metering of thermal energy will allow you to consciously save heat by stopping its supply to those rooms where no one is temporarily living or simply preferring to be in a cool room. To do this, you can turn off the taps installed on each radiator.
But there is another way to regulate heat consumption: using a radiator thermostat, consisting of a valve and a thermostatic head. The operating principle of the system is simple: the movement of a valve embedded in a pipe is controlled by thermostatic head, responding to changes in temperature in the room: when it’s hot, the valve closes the pipe; when it’s cold, on the contrary, it opens. At the same time, using manual control, you can configure the device as you wish: if you like it to be hot, set maximum temperature on the regulator you want to get indoors.
There are thermostats that can be used to regulate the temperature in the room depending on the time of day: no one is home during the day, the heating can be turned off, and turned on in the evening.
It would seem that everything is simple: meters can be installed in every apartment, the amount of thermal energy can be increased or decreased, and heating fees can be saved. But at the same time, the system for regulating the distribution of thermal energy throughout the house, that is, the traditional elevator input, is overlooked.
Operating principle of the hydraulic elevator
The hydraulic elevator is supplied with coolant from the main pipeline. Its pressure is regulated using a conventional valve. At the same time, the temperature of the network water is so high that it cannot be supplied directly to consumers, so the network water in the hydraulic elevator is mixed with the already cooled return water.
If the coolant completes a cycle of movement through the heating system and does not consume the reserve of thermal energy, which will certainly happen when the heating devices are turned off, hot water from the network and hot water from the return pipeline will flow into the elevator.
The hydraulic elevator has no feedback from the main pipeline and cannot reduce the pressure of the network water. As a result, consumers whose heating devices are not shut off and operating at full power will be sent too hot water, which will lead to equipment damage.
In this case, the thermal energy meter will not record a decrease in heat consumption, and the sales company will note overheating and impose penalties. It turns out that all efforts to reduce heating costs were made in vain.
What to do
We need a heating point with an automatic system for regulating the supply of network water
1. Hydraulic elevator
2. Electric drive
3. Control system
4. Temperature sensor
5. Coolant temperature sensor in the supply pipeline
6. Coolant temperature sensor in the return pipeline
It uses a heat exchanger in which it mixes network water and water from the main pipeline. IN heating system It is this “mixture” that is served. Its temperature is measured and if the permissible value is exceeded, the main water supply is shut off, which leads to a reduction in thermal energy consumption.
As a result, thermal energy consumption can be controlled.
