Patent

CA 2184192

A thermostat and method for controlling relative humidity is disclosed. The thermostat and method embodied therein controls a heater to maintain the ambienttemperature a few degrees above a minimum temperature that is required to prevent condensation and/or freezing. The thermostat continuously monitors the relative humidity and ambient temperature and calculates a dew point value from the monitored values. In one embodiment, the thermostat controls the operation of the heater to maintain the ambient temperature a few degrees above the calculated dew point. In a second embodiment, the thermostat maintains the ambient temperature a few degrees above the freezing point or the calculated dew point, whichever is the higher temperature.

Thermostat et méthode pour la régulation de l'humidité relative. Le thermostat, avec la méthode qu'il incorpore, commande un appareil de chauffage dans le but de maintenir la température ambiante quelques degrés au-dessus de la température minimale requise pour empêcher la condensation et/ou le gel. Le thermostat contrôle constamment l'humidité relative et la température ambiante et calcule une valeur de point de rosée à partir des valeurs contrôlées. Dans une application, le thermostat commande le fonctionnement de l'appareil de chauffage pour maintenir la température ambiante quelques degrés au-dessus du point de rosée calculé. Dans une deuxième application, le thermostat maintient la température ambiante quelques degrés au-dessus du point de congélation ou du point de rosée calculé, en choisissant la plus élevée des deux températures.
