PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEAT AND HOT WATER COSTS AND HEAT CONSUMPTION MEASURES TO EXERCISE THE PROCEDURE

Abstract

Abstract 1. Device for determining the distribution of heating and warm-water costs in buildings with central of district-heating systems by means of continuous sensing of a time integral of the reported temperature and of the time integral of the temperature, with the aid of a mechanical temperature sensor and two slotted discs that can rotate with respect to each other and which are coaxially mounted with respect to the center axis and act as cam disks (4, 5) and which, on their circumferences, have sectors with smaller radii (r4, r5) and which, in the direction of their circumferences, are able to form a common slot that depends on the temperature, and by means of a sensing apparatus which, if it is incident on the slot, drives an indicator, characterized in that the large radius (R5) of the fixed slotted disc (5) is significantly larger than the large radius (R4) of the rotating slotted disc (4), and that the scanning apparatus (7 to 10, 18) is equipped with at least one periodically scanning arm (7) attached flexibly to the circumferences of the slotted discs (4, 5), and that, moreover, a coupling device (11, 12) is mounted between the scanning apparatus (7 to 10, 18) and a counting mechanism, the coupling device being able to control, through the scanning apparatus, the duration of the counter offset per scanning period in such a fashion that the scanning apparatus (7 to 10, 18) frees the counting mechanism only as long as the arm (7) of the scanning apparatus simultaneously touches the sectors on the circumferences of the slotted discs with the smaller radii (r4, r5), while blocking the counter otherwise.
