Temperature control with Modbus thermostats during the cold winter months represents a lot of effort and understanding of how to keep as much heat in the rooms as possible. Proper handling can bring you huge energy savings on your energy bills. Thermal insulation, better and new materials, technology, etc. are only a handful of things that new technology have improved significantly in the last couple of years. In winter, the question is how to retain internal heat, while in summer, how to protect the premises from the intrusion of heat.
Despite all that, the greatest heat loss is represented by glass on windows and doors. These losses cannot be avoided, but with the correct handling of technology, automation of heating or cooling processes, we can help to keep them to a minimum.
We will introduce you to the best and most effective ways to control the temperature, especially in the coldest months. From mid-September until April, we usually have the strongest heating season. During this time, our homes consume up to 70% of all energy that is consumed throughout the year.
The most basic or standard temperature control in almost all of our homes is to control it with a smart Modbus thermostats. There are many different types of thermostats and many different uses cases. The thermostats can be simple or very complex. At Etop,we have designed and developed for you the extremely good, reliable and at the same time very affordable Modbus Fan Coil Thermostat.
The Modbus thermostats allow, depending on the model, the control of a two-pipe or four-pipe system. This means that it can be used to operate also underfloor heating systems, heat pumps, HVAC systems, etc.
The standard functionality of both is that they have the ability to control the fan speed – usually 3 levels (low, medium or fast) and that they can be turned completely on (on) or off (off). In cooperation with motion sensor or a energy-saving switch, the thermostats can automatically switch to the Eco mode which has to be determined by user needs.
Both thermostats are extremely easy to operate. The most importantly both of them support the Modbus protocol, which means that they can be connected to an already comprehensive ecosystem, or enable easier installation and connection in new constructions
There’re common points of heat pumps and fan coils before we’re comparing a fan coil with heat pump.Unlike a traditional boiler or furnace, fan coil units and heat pump systems are both capable of heating and cooling your home. They both can also maintain the humidity levels inside your home. They also can work together, with your furnace and air conditioner, or separately.
Fan Coils
As indicated by its name, the main components of a fan coil system are a fan, and heating and/or cooling coils. The fan draws air into the system through an air filter, either from the outside, or recirculated from the inside, or a combination of the two.
The heating and cooling coils in a fan coil system are placed either just before the air enters the fan or just after it is blown away from the fan. The cooling coil is used in summer to air-condition the air inside your home, and the heating coils are used to heat the house in winter.
Benefits of Fan Coils
The filtered air, coupled with increased air circulation can reduce the buildup of mold, viruses, bacteria and other pollutants in the air for better indoor air quality. By complementing your heat pump, furnace and/or air conditioner, fan coils can help lower down the energy consumption.
Thermostat for Fan Coil
Typically, the thermostats are divided to 2 major versions 2 pipes or 4 pipes fan coil thermostat. The 2 pipes fan coil normally use same water pipe for water flow and do heating&cooling based on the season. While the 4 pipes one can run both hot water and cool water in the pipes. The thermostat fan motors allows on off type control or modulate 0-10v control.It also supports multiple connection interface like a KNX Fan Coil ,Thermostat, Bacnet Fan Coil Thermostat, Modbus Fan Coil Thermostat. It allows change-over sensor connection to do automatic switch over of winter heating and summer cooling.
Heat Pumps
In basic terms, heat pumps remove heat energy from your home in summer and bring heat energy into your home in winter. The two basic types of heat pumps are air-source heat pumps and ground-source heat pumps.
Air-source heat pumps are the most popular choice for residential heating and cooling. They transfer heat between the air inside your home and the air outside your home.
Ground-source heat pumps, or geothermal heat pumps, transfer heat between the interior air of your home and the ground outside your home.
Benefits of Heat Pumps
The heat pump system can manage proper humidity levels inside your home, in winter and summer, is one of the best ways to improve home comfort. Heat pumps don’t actually produce heat or cool the air. That reduces the energy needed to heat or cool your home.
Thermostat for Heat Pump
According to the E-Top thermostat catalog, we can offer the FCU Floor Heating thermostat, Heat Pump FCU thermostat, Fan coil boiler thermostat and so on. For more details, please drop an email to info@etopcontrols.com
