A programmable thermostat is a thermostat which is designed to adjust the temperature according to a series of programmed settings that take effect at different times of the day. Programmable thermostats are also known as setback thermostats or clock thermostats.

Benefits[edit]

Heating and cooling losses from a building (or any other container) become greater as the difference in temperature increases. A programmable thermostat allows reduction of these losses by allowing the temperature difference to be reduced at times when the reduced amount of heating or cooling would not be objectionable.

For example, during cooling season, a programmable thermostat used in a home may be set to allow the temperature in the house to rise during the workday when no one will be at home. It may then be set to turn on the air conditioning before the arrival of occupants, allowing the house to be cool upon the arrival of the occupants while still having saved air conditioning energy during the peak outdoor temperatures. The reduced cooling required during the day also decreases the demands placed upon the electrical supply grid.

Conversely, during the heating season, the programmable thermostat may be set to allow the temperature in the house to drop when the house is unoccupied during the day and also at night after all occupants have gone to bed, re-heating the house prior to the occupants arriving home in the evening or waking up in the morning. Since most people sleep better when a room is cooler and the temperature differential between the interior and exterior of a building will be greatest on a cold winter night, this reduces energy losses.

Similar scenarios are available in commercial buildings, with due consideration of the building's occupancy patterns.

According to Consumer Reports magazine, programmable thermostats can reduce energy bills by about $180 a year.[1]

Controversy[edit]

While programmable thermostats may be able to save energy when used correctly, little or no average energy savings has been demonstrated in residential field studies. Difficulty with usability in residential environments appears to lead to lack of persistence of energy savings in homes. According to the US EPA regarding residential programmable thermostat, 'Available studies indicate no savings from programmable thermostat (PT) installation. Some studies indicate slight increased consumption.'[2] This is supported with studies by Nevius and Pigg,[3] Cross and Judd[4] and others and Peffer et al.[5] has a recent review of the topic.

In addition to potential increased energy consumption, digital programmable thermostats have been criticised for their poor usability. Several studies have found that digital programmable thermostats are difficult for users to programme[6] and older people in particular can struggle to use them (see Combe et al.[7]).

It has been noted that the use of programmable thermostats is hampered by misconception about the setback feature, reducing the amount of heating or cooling in a building needs for a short time (e.g. at night or when it is unoccupied). The belief is that if the building is allowed to change temperature, its heating or cooling system has to 'work harder' to bring it back to a comfortable temperature, counteracting or even exceeding the energy saved during reduced heating or cooling. If set up correctly[8][9] the setback and recovery feature can result in energy savings of five to fifteen percent as the heat transfer between a structure and its environment is proportional to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the structure.[10][11]

Construction and features[edit]

Clock thermostats[edit]

Honeywell office thermostat

The most basic clock thermostats may only implement one program with two periods (a hotter period and a colder period), and the same program is run day after day. More sophisticated clock thermostats may allow four or more hot and cold periods to be set per day. Usually, only two distinct temperatures (a hotter temperature and a colder temperature) can be set, even if multiple periods are permitted. The hotter and colder temperatures are usually established simply by sliding two levers along an analogue temperature scale, much the same as in a conventional (non-clock) thermostat.

This design, while simple to manufacture and relatively easy to program, sacrifices comfort on weekends since the program is repeated each of the seven days of the week with no variation. To overcome this deficit, a push-button is sometimes provided to allow the user to explicitly switch (once) the current period from hot period to a cold period or vice versa; the usual use of this button is to over-ride a 'set back' that takes place during the workday when the home is normally unoccupied.

The clock mechanism is electrical. Two methods have commonly been used to operate it:

[1] A separate, continuous source of 24 volts alternating current (24 VAC) is provided to the thermostat.

[2] A rechargeable battery in the thermostat operates the clock. This battery charges when the thermostat is not calling for heat and 24 VAC is available to it. It discharges to operate the clock when the thermostat is set for heating or cooling.

Digital thermostats[edit]

Digital thermostats may implement the same functions, but most provide more versatility. For example, they commonly allow setting temperatures for two, four, or six periods each day, and rather than being limited to a single 'hotter' temperature and a single 'colder' temperature, digital thermostats usually allow each period to be set to a unique temperature. The periods are commonly labeled 'Morning', 'Day', 'Evening', and 'Night', although nothing constrains the time intervals involved. Digital thermostats usually allow the user to override the programmed temperature for the period, automatically resuming programmed temperatures when the next period begins. A function to 'hold' (lock-in) the current temperature is usually provided as well; in this case, the override temperature is maintained until the user cancels the hold or a programmed event occurs to resume the normal program. More-sophisticated models will allow for the release of the hold to take place at a set time in the future.

As with clock thermostats, basic digital thermostats may have just one cycle that is run every day of the week. More-sophisticated thermostats may have a weekday schedule and a separate weekend schedule (so-called '5-2' setting) or separate Saturday and Sunday schedules (so-called '5-1-1' settings), while other thermostats will offer a separate schedule for each day of the week ('7 day' settings). The selection of which days are defined as the 'weekend' is arbitrary, depending on the user's heating and cooling schedule requirements. Often, a manufacturer will sell three similar thermostats offering each of those levels of functionality, and there is no obvious difference in the thermostats other than the factory programming and the price.[12]

Most digital thermostats have separate programs for heating and cooling, and may feature a digital or manual switch to turn on the furnace blower for air circulation, even when the system isn't heating or cooling. More-sophisticated models may be programmed to run the circulating fan for a brief 5- to 10-minute period in the event a heating or cooling cycle has not taken place during the previous hour. This is particularly useful in buildings subject to stratification where without frequent air circulation, hot air rises and separates from the cooler air that falls.

Digital thermostats may also have a user-programmable air filter change reminder; this counts the accumulated run-time of the heating/cooling system and reminds the user when it is time to change the filter. The feature often displays the accumulated run-time either as an aggregate of both heating and cooling or displaying each time separately.

Some digital thermostats have the capability of being programmed using a touch-tone telephone or over the Internet, such as the Nest Learning Thermostat.

Digital thermostats are usually powered one of three ways:

  • A sophisticated power circuit operates from the 24 VAC supply when the thermostat is not calling, and operates from the current flowing in the thermostat circuit when the thermostat is calling. A battery is used to provide back-up during power failures.
  • A rechargeable battery operates the thermostat just as in the clock thermostat, charging when the thermostat is not calling and discharging while the thermostat is calling.
  • A non-rechargeable battery always powers the thermostat. To limit the amount of power drawn from the battery, such thermostats use an impulse relay that does not require the continuous application of power to the relay's coil. These thermostats can be used on millivolt circuits, as well as conventional 24 VAC circuits. Battery life is typically one to two years.

Digital thermostats with PID controller[edit]

More expensive models have a built-in PID controller, so that the thermostat learns how the system will react to its commands. Programming the morning temperature to be 21° C at 7:00 AM, for instance, makes sure that at that time the temperature will be 21 °C. A standard programmable thermostat would simply start working toward 21° at 7:00 AM. The PID controller decides at what time the system should be activated in order to reach the desired temperature at the desired time. It knows this by remembering the past behavior of the room, and the current temperature of the room. This is called optimal start.

Process control or industrial thermostat also makes sure that the temperature is very stable[13](for instance, by reducing first overshoot and fluctuation[14] at the end of the heating cycle) so that the comfort level is increased.

Commercial thermostats[edit]

In commercial applications, the thermostat may not contain any clock mechanism. Instead, another means may be used to select between the 'hotter' and 'colder' settings. For example, if the thermostat uses pneumatic controls, a change in the air pressure supplied to the thermostat may select between the 'hotter' and 'colder' settings, and this air pressure is determined by a central regulator. With electronic controls, a specific signal may indicate whether to operate at the 'hotter' or 'colder' setting.

Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram

Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram - honeywell chronotherm iii wiring diagram, Every electrical structure is made up of various different pieces. Each part should be placed and linked to different parts in specific way. If not, the arrangement won't function as it should be. To be able to make sure that the electric circuit is constructed correctly, Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram is demanded. How does this diagram assist with circuit building?

Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram | Wiring Diagram - Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram

The diagram offers visual representation of an electric arrangement. However, the diagram is a simplified version of the arrangement. This makes the procedure for assembling circuit easier. This diagram gives information of circuit components in addition to their placements.

Components of Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram and A Few Tips

There are just two things that will be present in almost any Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram. The first component is symbol that indicate electric element in the circuit. A circuit is generally composed by various components. The other thing that you will come across a circuit diagram could be traces. Lines in the diagram show exactly how every component connects to one another.

The positions of circuit's parts are comparative, not accurate. The order is also not logical, unlike wiring schematics. Diagram only reveals where to place component in a place relative to other components within the circuit. Despite the fact that it's simplified, diagram is a fantastic foundation for everyone to build their own circuit.

One thing you have to learn before reading a circuit diagram is the symbols. Every symbol that is presented on the diagram reveals specific circuit element. The most common components are capacitor, resistorbattery. There are also other components like floor, switch, engine, and inductor. Everything rides on circuit that is being built.

According to earlier, the lines in a Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram represents wires. Occasionally, the cables will cross. But, it doesn't mean link between the wires. Injunction of two wires is generally indicated by black dot at the junction of two lines. There'll be principal lines that are represented by L1, L2, L3, etc. Colors can also be utilized to differentiate cables.

Usually, there are two main types of circuit connections. The very first one is known as series link. It's the simpler type of link as circuit's components are placed within a specified line. Because of the electric current in each and every part is similar while voltage of this circuit is total of voltage in each component.

Parallel connection is much more complicated than the show one. Unlike in string connection, the voltage of each component is similar. It's because the component is directly connected to electricity supply. This circuit consists of branches that are passed by different electric current amounts. The present joins together when the branches meet.

There are numerous items that an engineer needs to pay attention to if drawing wirings diagram. To start with, the symbols used in the diagram ought to be precise. It must represent the specific component necessary to build an intended circuit. When the symbol is incorrect or unclear, the circuit won't function since it is supposed to.

It's also highly suggested that engineer brings positive supply and negative supply symbols for clearer interpretation. Ordinarily positive supply emblem (+) is located above the line. Meanwhile the negative source emblem is set under it. The current flows from the left to right.

Along with this, diagram drawer is suggested to restrict the amount of line crossing. The line and part placement should be designed to lessen it. However, if it is unavoidable, use universal symbol to indicate if there is a intersection or if the lines aren't actually connected.

Because you can see drawing and interpreting Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram may be complicated endeavor on itself. The information and suggestions that were elaborated above should be a great kick start, however. Honeywell Chronotherm Iii Wiring Diagram
