| 20080217418 | Temperature compensation method for thermostats - An air conditioning control system and method for compensating for heat gain or loss in an air conditioned space due to window area and temperature differential between outdoor temperature and indoor temperature. For predetermined amounts of window area, as a percent of total wall area defining an enclosed space, the thermostat setpoint or measured temperature is adjusted as a function of the temperature differential between the enclosed space and the outdoor ambient temperature, for example. Data may be accumulated and stored in a controller memory for various types of structures and rates of heat transfer therethrough for various amounts and type of window area as a percent of the total wall area, for example. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080223944 | Device and method for recording air conditioning system information - HVAC apparatus is configured to include a control system with a controller which may be connected directly to a personality module for transferring information stored in the controller related to historic operating conditions of the apparatus to the module, or information may be transferred to the controller from the module to configure the controller for operation of the apparatus at selected operating conditions of temperature, pressure and blower motor speed, for example. The personality module includes a memory circuit and a connector for releasably connecting the module to the control system of the apparatus for transferring information between the module and the controller. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080237217 | Heater interlock control for air conditioning system - An air conditioning apparatus, including an electric motor driven blower for circulating air through a cabinet, also includes one or more electric heating elements and a system controller operable to control energization of the heating elements and the blower motor at predetermined operating conditions by way of suitable relay or control elements. The system includes a heating interlock relay to prevent energization of the one or more heating elements if the blower motor is inoperable, operating at other than a predetermined range of speeds or the system controller detects a malfunctioning heating element control relay or the like. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090090115 | Control system interface with display for air conditioning apparatus - A user interface for a control system for an air conditioning apparatus includes a visual display and keys for scrolling menu items and entering commands to the control system. The interface is mounted in the apparatus cabinet and on a rotatable bracket to orient the interface for ease of reading the display and actuating the respective keys. | 04-09-2009 |
