Bus controlled heater valve for heating system, has energy electronics, solar module with solar cell designed as energy source, and electrochemical actuator working based on functional principle of nickel/hydrogen cell for energy storage

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The valve has a valve unit with an energy electronics and an electrochemical actuator designed as a drive. A solar module (2) with a solar cell (21) is designed as an energy source, and includes a negative electrode for forming hydrogen at the actuator for generation of gas. The actuator works according to a functional principle of a nickel/hydrogen cell for energy storage. #CMT# : #/CMT# A high power charging capacitor receives energy from the discharging actuator and/or the solar module. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for a heating system (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The provision of the electrochemical actuator, the solar module and the energy electronics enables the arrangement to provide electricity for its component by itself without consuming power from a communication network of the bus system, thus reducing the power consumption of the bus system. The number of parts of the heater valve is reduced, thus manufacturing the heater valve in a cost-effective manner, and as a compact unit. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a bus controlled heater valve with an electrochemical actuator, energy electronics and solar module. 1 : Valve unit 2 : Solar module 11 : Valve body 17 : Blind plug 21 : Solar cell.
