Thermostats belong to the forefront of information technology, especially thermostats are widely used in industrial and agricultural production, scientific research and life and other fields, and the number is increasing day by day. In the past 100 years, thermostats are developing from analog to digital, from integrated to intelligent and networked.   1 Product classification of thermostats 1.1 Analog, integrated temperature controller Analog temperature controllers mainly include temperature control switches, programmable temperature controllers, and some enhanced integrated temperature controllers also include A/D converters and cured programs, which are similar to smart thermostats. place. But it is a self-contained system, and it is not controlled by the microprocessor when working, which is the main difference between the two.   1.2 Smart Thermostat   Smart thermostats (also known as digital thermostats) were introduced in the mid-1990s. It is the crystallization of microelectronic technology, computer technology and automatic test technology (ATE). At present, a variety of intelligent thermostat series products have been developed. Smart thermostats contain temperature sensors, A/D converters, signal processors, memory (or registers) and interface circuits. Some products also have multiplexers, *controllers (cpu), random access memory (RAM) and read only memory (ROM). The characteristics of the intelligent thermostat are that it can output temperature data and related temperature control quantities, and adapt to various thermostat controllers (MCU); and it realizes the test control function through software on the basis of hardware, and its intelligent The degree of integration also depends on the level of software development. 2 New trends in the development of intelligent thermostats After entering the 21st century, intelligent thermostats are moving towards high-precision, multi-function, bus standardization, high reliability and safety, developing virtual thermostats and network thermostats, and developing single-chip temperature measurement and temperature control systems. direction is developing rapidly. 2.1 Improve temperature measurement accuracy and resolution 2.2 Add test function 2.3 Standardization and normalization of bus technology 2.5 Virtual Thermostat and Network Thermostat (1) Virtual thermostat (2) Network temperature thermostat 2.6 Monolithic temperature measurement control system At present, in China's thermostat market, Xiamen ETOP is an ODM/OEM one-stop service manufacturing factory, with leading technology and advanced equipment in the industry, which can bring satisfactory customized solutions to regions in the world that need thermostats.

Does the E-Top thermostat save electricity? Yes, smart thermostats save energy. At present, the thermostat on the market mainly has two ways to adjust the schedule: the first is more basic and stable is the user according to their own needs to create a different time every day temperature adjustment; The second is to import AI algorithm, intelligent learning user habits, automatically help users adjust the indoor temperature. The former method is relatively stable but not flexible enough, while the latter method is not fully functional at present, so customers need to consider by themselves. But it is clear that only thermostats can help customers save money on their electric bills up to a point.   How much energy does the E-Top thermostat save? Different thermostats have different energy-saving standards, but 10% is a safety benchmark. You need to test your smart thermostat to see exactly how well it works for you. The amount of energy you save from your smart thermostat varies depending on the local climate, household size, and number of residents. Energy Star says its certified smart thermostats save an average of 8 percent on heating or cooling costs, or $50 a year. According to e-TOP's partner tests, using smart thermostats can save 15 to 22 percent on cooling and heating costs, while the product's longer service life avoids customers' frequent maintenance and replacement costs. However, these data are only for the data of the European market, and further in-depth testing and statistics may be needed for countries in other regions.   How does E-TOP thermostat save electricity? The main way smart thermostats save power is by automatically reducing heating and cooling when it's not needed. E-top device detects the change of room temperature to determine whether the thermostat is turned on in a window-opening environment, and then turns on OWD function to turn off the thermostat to reduce energy waste. It's worth noting that as long as the thermostat is programmable, you're likely to get the same results as a suitable "smart" thermostat. At present, the vast majority of products launched by E-Top support 7-day programming, which to some extent solves the preference problem of different user groups. Smart thermostats, however, shine because of their usability. If the thermostat is programmable but the interface sucks, you're less likely to use it and enjoy the savings. Instead, you're more likely to use a well-designed smart thermostat that can save you a lot of work -- even if it's just as technically powerful as a low-end programmable thermostat.   What is the energy-saving mode of E-TOP thermostat? The E-Top Smart thermostat has an energy saving mode that prioritizes electricity over comfort. This will ultimately lead to more savings on your bill. The nuances of these energy saving modes will vary depending on the ambient temperature, occupancy numbers, etc., but this mode can override previous schedules unless otherwise noted. Usually, even in energy-saving mode, there are minimum and maximum safe temperatures that can turn the thermostat on. If available, the smart thermostat will take into account your provider's use-time rate, so it will incorrectly heat or cool during off-peak hours to enjoy a lower electricity bill. In addition to the energy saving mode, smart thermostats have many other Settings that can be adjusted for the best experience. Hopefully this article will give a clearer picture of how much you can save by using an E-Top smart thermostat.  

In the filed of condensing boiler installation, the term 'Opentherm' is getting more trendy. Why opentherm takes an increasingly important role in a modern underfloor heating system?The following tips will help you understand the basics of Opentherm heating system and opentherm modulating heating control. The opentherm way to control boiler , not cycling your boiler on and off periodically, it adjusts boiler heating water flow temperature precisely. So what benefits can we get if we are using opentherm thermostat?   1. Lower gas fuel bills   As russian-ukraine war, gas fuel price soars by 50% compared to the previous, saving more energy becomes more important mission in the room heating industry. A SmartTherm thermostat utilizes PI algorithm to calculate boiler water set point and adjusts the heating water temperature according to the desired set point. This not only keeps the rooms at the correct temperature, but it also increases the efficiency of the boiler by allowing it to run at lower flow temperatures for a longer period of time. As a result, the boiler stays condensing for longer.   2. Extend boiler lifespan   By allowing boilers to run at a slower rate for an extended period of time, they are less likely to damage the appliance than they would be if they were constantly turning on and off. This means boiler is able to work in optimal performance and reducing more wear and tear.   3. Enhance boiler troubleshooting   ETOP opentherm wifi thermostat offers direct visual displays about the boiler status and error codes, which helps boiler installers and repairers gain more information about the fault reason. Besides the thermostat screen, ETOP thermostat also can do phone app remote checking and remote control. Opentherm provides more advanced boiler monitoring and efficiency control and improvement in the room underfloor heating system and smart thermostat manufacturing technology.  

1.From the perspective of domestic hot water sanitation and preventing bacterial growth, the minimum storage temperature of the water tank should not be lower than 50 degrees, preferably 55 or 60 degrees. If the water temperature is set very low, 45 degrees or 40 degrees, it will cause the hot water to breed bacteria, and the system must take special sterilization measures: some models of boilers have a hot water sterilization function, and the water tank is regularly heated to more than 60 degrees. And maintain for a period of time to kill bacteria. (The boiler function must be turned on)   2. even if we turn on the hot water sterilization function of the boiler, we still do not recommend setting the water temperature of the water tank very low for several reasons: If the temperature is set too low, due to the low temperature of the stored water, the water supply capacity of the water tank will decrease to a certain extent, and the ability to cope with a large amount of water consumption in a short time will decrease.   A. For most boilers, the default outlet water temperature of the boiler when heating the water tank is based on the set temperature of the water tank, usually the set temperature of the water tank +15°C. If the water tank is set to 45°C, then the boiler outlet water temperature is only 60°C. At this time, the heat exchange capacity of the water tank will decrease due to the drop in the temperature of the boiler outlet water, which will affect the heat exchange capacity of the boiler outlet water to the domestic hot water in the water tank, resulting in a significant drop in the ability of the water tank to continuously supply water for a long time.   B. Since the heat exchange capacity of the water tank is affected by the lower boiler outlet water temperature, if the heat exchange capacity is lower than the minimum power of the boiler, it will cause the boiler to start and stop frequently.   Based on the above reasons, we recommend that the temperature of the water tank should be set at 50-60 °C.   It is recommended that the boiler can be used with ETOP's thermostat, and the temperature and time can be programmed thermostat to make life easier  

Programmable thermostats in the sense that they have a scheduling feature that allow users to set different temperatures for different times of the day. Users are given the option to program a custom schedule to reduce energy usage when they are away from the home. Studies have shown, though, that manually creating a schedule may lead to more energy usage than just keeping the thermostat at a set temperature. To avoid this problem, smart thermostats also provide an auto schedule feature. This feature requires the use of algorithms and pattern recognition to create a schedule that results in occupant comfort and energy savings. Upon creating a schedule, the thermostat will continue monitoring occupant behavior to make changes to the auto schedule. By taking the human error out of the scheduling, smart thermostats can create smart schedules that actually save energy.   Smart thermostats have the similar programming function with the Programmable thermostats, But in addition to this feature, smart thermostats implement other technologies to reduce the amount of human error involved with using programmable thermostats. Smart thermostats incorporate the use of sensors that determine whether or not the home is occupied and can suspend heating or cooling until the occupant returns. Additionally, smart thermostats utilize Wi-Fi connectivity to give the user access to the thermostat at all times. These additional technologies have proven to make smart thermostats successful in saving users energy and money.   Smart thermostats save more energy and money than programmable thermostats by control the room temperature in real smartly.

First we need know what is the radiator Radiators are heat exchangers used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. The majority of radiators are constructed to function in cars, buildings, and electronics. A radiator is always a source of heat to its environment, although this may be for either the purpose of heating this environment, or for cooling the fluid or coolant supplied to it, as for automotive engine cooling and HVAC dry cooling towers. Despite the name, most radiators transfer the bulk of their heat via convection instead of thermal radiation   And How does the radiator work? Radiators work through a heat transfer process called convection. When water in the radiator is heated, the surrounding air is also heated up via convection and this hot air is then moved around the room as the air circulates.  Now we basic know what is radiator and how it work,then we must to comprehend how thermostat can do for you?and why choice E-top thermostat 1.     save energy Now due to the problems of the Russian-Ukrainian war, natural gas has become a scarce resource, and many European countries are now switching to electricity for heating.

  A smart boiler control thermostat is another version that allows accurate temperature programming. It doesn't have to be wired, but can be mounted on a wall or directly put on desk. E-top smart boiler thermostat allows you to use existing electrical wiring and provides instructions for fast installation.     But what exactly is an intelligent boiler control thermostat? It's a programmable thermostat with a digital display and a 230V receiver that allows you to control your boiler even more accurately than with a standard programmable thermostat: you can define a weekly heating schedule to adapt the temperature to your working hours or habits at the weekend, etc. This allows you to save more than 15% on your energy bill.       What's more, a programmable smart thermostat lets you control your heating remotely on your smartphone. You can regulate the temperature wherever you are, provided you have an internet connection. This is perfect for turning the heating up by a few degrees before you get back from holiday or if you want to adjust the programming remotely. Lastly, a smart thermostat is the only type that lets you track your consumption. Using the thermostat's app and an internet connection, you can view a record of your data. This makes it easier to plan your weekly heating and allows you to make even more savings on your energy bill.   

Room thermostats regulate heat output        A room thermostat or room temperature controller is a small device that can have a big impact on home comfort. Because they enable heating control of individual rooms . This means: You can monitor the temperatures in the room and constantly compare them with preset target values. If this value is exceeded, the thermostat  will handle to reduce the heat dissipated by the heater. If the room is too cold, the components release heat. This can be achieved with electronically controlled valves located on the radiator or floor heating circuit, depending on the system. If the room thermostat reports that the room is too hot, the valve reduces the flow of heating water, reducing the amount of heat entering the room. If the small equipment requires heat energy, the control valve is opened. More water flows through radiators or surface heating, and the room gets hotter. None of this would be possible in this form if the heater was working without the room thermostat.   There are different room thermostats on the market   Today, anyone looking for a room thermostat to heat themselves has plenty of options. Basically, there are analog and digital controllers. Digital devices are also divided into programmable devices and smart devices. The table below provides an overview of the functions of each controller.     To sum up, the smart thermostat is undoubtedly the mainstream choice now, whether it is from the perspective of user experience or energy saving, it is the best choice.
