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 4):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein each of the measurement data sets includes an air inlet enthalpy value, an air outlet enthalpy value, a thermal transfer fluid inlet enthalpy value, and a thermal transfer fluid outlet enthalpy value; and the control system ( 40 ) calculates the normalized energy transfer for each of the normalized data points (Pn, Sn, Ln), using the air inlet enthalpy value, the air outlet enthalpy value, the thermal transfer fluid inlet enthalpy value, and the thermal transfer fluid outlet enthalpy value.
