METHOD FOR THERMOREGULATING INLET AIR, AND THERMOSTAT NEEDED FOR ITS APPLICATION

摘要

According to the suggested method for thermoregulating inlet air (A) taken from outside air (A') and supplied using an air intake duct (14), efficiency loss can be prevented by simply heating slightly the inlet air (A) while duly avoiding the formation of ice therein (A). Besides, a theoretical temperature value (TS) is prescribed for the inlet air based on the sum of the condensation point (TT) of the outside air (A') and a margin of safety (S). It is recommended that the set theoretical temperature value (TS) shall not be higher than the sum of 0 DEG C plus the margin of safety.
