Patent GB-2604949-A (GB)
Title: Methods and systems for modulating energy usage
Inventor: Peter Konowalczyk
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 2021-08-02
Abstract: A hot water system providing heated water to one or more water outlets (e.g. shower, bath tap) comprises a control module and a heat pump that heats a medium (e.g. paraffin wax) in a thermal energy store, the store being used to heat water for the outlet(s). The control module modulates energy consumption of the system so that overall energy usage is reduced. The module determines a start time for the modulation and records how much time has elapsed since the start time. When a water outlet is opened/turned on, the module compares the time elapsed with a time threshold, which may be one day, one week or multiples thereof. If the elapsed time is less than the time threshold then the module ensures water is heated to a set temperature (e.g. 45°C). If the elapsed time is more than the time threshold then the module ensures water is heated to a target temperature (e.g. 44°C) that is less than the set temperature. Multiple time thresholds and target temperatures may be used so that the temperature of hot water drawn through the outlet(s) progressively reduces as the elapsed time increases until an optimal target temperature (e.g. 41°C) is reached.
