Operation of a thermal comfort system

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices for operation of a thermal comfort system are described herein. For example, one or more embodiments include receiving data, including a target temperature for a zone, an actual temperature of the zone, and an ambient temperature of air being supplied to a thermal comfort system, and determining, through a regression model, from the received data, a calculated time when the zone will reach the target temperature upon operation of the thermal comfort system.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving data, including a target temperature for a zone, an actual temperature of the zone, and an ambient temperature of air being supplied to the thermal comfort system; initializing a regression model by: setting a coefficient to zero; and entering a heating rate of the thermal comfort system; determining, through the regression model, from the received data, a calculated time when the zone will reach the target temperature upon operation of the thermal comfort system; wherein the calculated time when the zone will reach the target temperature is defined by:
tpred=(TaT−Ta)·p1+(TaT−Ta)2·p2+(TaT−To)·p3+p4, tpred is the calculated time when the zone will reach the target temperature; taT is the target temperature for the zone; Ta is the actual temperature of the zone; To is the ambient temperature of air being supplied to the thermal comfort system; and p1, p2, p3, and p4 are coefficients of the regression model; solving for the calculated time when the zone will reach the target temperature in order to obtain an initial calculated heating time for the zone to reach the target temperature; operating the thermal comfort system for the initial calculated time when the zone will reach the target temperature.
