Abstract:
A hydronic system and method of use that will maintain normal system operating pressure while also reliably detecting even very small fluid losses in any closed loop fluid heat transfer system is described. The system includes a controller having clock or timing functionality in communication with one or more pressure sensors and a fluid supply valve that provides one or more notifications when the pressure drops below predetermined levels during predetermined periods of time. Depending on the nature of the pressure loss, the system has the capability of opening a fluid supply valve to provide make up fluid and increase system pressure.

Claim (Index 15):
A hydronic heating or cooling system, the system comprising:\n at least one of a heating appliance and cooling appliance; a circulator pump; an air separator including an air vent; first conduit fluidly coupling at least the at least one of a heating appliance and cooling appliance, the circulator pump, and the air separator in a continuous loop; a fluid supply valve; an expansion tank; one or more pressure sensors, the one or more sensors configured to sense when a system pressure drops below or rises above at least first and second pressure set points; second conduit fluidly coupling the fluid supply valve, the expansion tank, and the one or more pressure sensors to the air separator and the continuous loop wherein the fluid supply valve, the expansion tank and the one or more pressure sensors are not part of the continuous loop; a controller, the controller and at least one notification output and being operatively coupled to at least the circulator pump, the fluid supply valve and the one or more pressure sensors, the controller being configured to (i) provide a first notification by way of the at least one notification output when the system pressure drops below a first pressure set point, and (ii) provide a second notification by way of the at least one notification output when the system pressure drops below a second pressure set point.
