Application of a Frequency Converter in Electric Automatic Control of Central Heating by Jingwen Yin, Guifeng Zhang

“…The experimental results show that the temperature control strategy using a frequency converter automatic compensation method reduces the energy waste caused by manual regulation to a certain extent. When the speed of a water pump motor decreases to 4/5 of the original, the power consumption will decrease to about 52% of the original and save about 48% of the power; When the speed drops by 3/5, the power consumption is about 22% of the original, saving about 78% of the power. …”
