Abstract:
For operating a thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ) for exchanging thermal energy between a thermal transfer fluid and air, a plurality of measurement data sets are recorded in a control system ( 40 ). The measurement data sets include for a different point in time data values which define a normalized energy transfer that represents the thermal energy transferred in the thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ) normalized by one or more normalization variables. The control system ( 40 ) calculates for each of the measurement data sets a normalized data point defined by the normalized energy transfer. The control system ( 40 ) further determines for the thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ) a characteristic energy transfer curve which fits the normalized data points. Normalizing the energy transfer makes it possible to operate the thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ) more efficiently over a wider range of changing conditions, as saturation can be prevented using more appropriate fixed or variable thresholds.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein each of the measurement data sets includes a temperature value of the thermal transfer fluid entering the thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ); and the control system ( 40 ) calculates the normalized latent part (Ln) of the thermal energy transferred in the thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ) using the difference of the temperature value of a dew point temperature of the air and temperature the thermal transfer fluid entering the thermal energy exchanger ( 1 ).
