摘要： A method of configuring a hot-water supply installation having multiple hot-water outlets, the installation including: a source of hot-water with an outlet having a controllable outflow temperature, a first temperature sensor to detect the outflow temperature, and a processor operatively connected to a flow measurement device, the first temperature sensor, and at least one flow regulator. The method comprises: placing an outlet temperature sensor in an outflow path for one of the hot-water outlets; opening the selected hot-water outlet, so that water from the selected outlet impinges on the outlet temperature sensor; and generating data by monitoring, using the outlet temperature sensor, a variation with respect to time, of the temperature of water from the selected outlet. The data are processed, using the processor, timing information about the time of the opening of the selected controllable hot-water outlet, the data, and information from the first temperature sensor, to determine respective parameters to control the outflow temperature of the source of hot-water, and optionally to control the flow regulator, for use when the processor subsequently detects operation of the selected hot-water outlet.

摘要： The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for operating a pool water heating system. The pool water heating system can include a heat pump, a supplemental heat source, a water temperature sensor, and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive water temperature data and, in response to determining that the temperature of the water is less than a threshold temperature, output a control signal to activate the heat pump. The controller can further determine an expected heating time that can be indicative of an amount of time required for the temperature of the water to be greater than or equal to the threshold temperature. The controller can also generate a heating schedule based at least in part on the expected heat time and a predetermined time of use. The heating schedule can be indicative of a heat pump operation time and a supplemental heat source operation time.
