Adaptive heating control system for a water heater

摘要

A water heating control system for automatically reducing delay in delivering a volume of water at a flowrate, the volume of water is heated from a first temperature to a target temperature during a time interval of a day, the water heating system includes a device for aiding in heating the volume of water from the first temperature to the target temperature, a historical flow demand corresponding to the time interval of a day, a current flow demand corresponding to the time interval of a day and a controller configured for calculating a new flow demand from the historical flow demand and the current flow demand. The new flow demand is set as the historical flow demand for the time interval of a day and if the new flow demand exceeds a threshold, the device is configured to be activated during the time interval of a day.
