Abstract

The invention relates to a method for evaluating a ventilator oscillation (OV) and a plant oscillation (OA) on a flow system (10) having a ventilator (11) and a control plant (12) connected to the ventilator (11). The plant oscillation (OA) is recorded independently of the ventilator oscillation (OV), more particularly by means of a mobile terminal (17). The ventilator oscillation (OV) is preferably sensed by means of an oscillation sensor (16) of the ventilator (11). The ventilator oscillation (OV) is evaluated together with the plant oscillation (OA) in order to determine whether there is a relationship between the ventilator oscillation (OV) and the plant oscillation (OA) and oscillations with a high amplitude of the plant oscillation (OA) can be attributed to high amplitudes of the ventilator oscillation (OV) or possibly have another cause. As a result of the evaluation of the plant oscillation (OA) based on the ventilator oscillation (OV), additional information is therefore available that simplifies the initiation of a suitable measure.

Abstract

A method and a ventilator system designed to carry out the method. The method is used to ascertain a current operating point of a ventilator unit having a ventilator and at least one filter. By determining the current operating point, a conclusion can also be drawn regarding the degree of clogging of the filter. It can also be identified whether the filter is present or not. At multiple points in time, a power value for the electrical power of the ventilator can be ascertained. In accordance with the current speed of the ventilator, a power characteristic curve can be selected from a characteristic map or calculated on the basis of a reference characteristic curve which describes the relationship between the electrical power of the ventilator and the pressure differential of the ventilation unit. The power characteristic curve therefore does not only relate to the ventilator but rather to the entire ventilator unit. This allows clear and sufficiently precise determination of the current operating point A of the ventilator unit.

Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring assembly (21) having a measuring circuit (22), which is arranged on or in an electrical machine (10), and an evaluation unit (24), which is arranged outside the electrical machine (10) and is connected to one of the phases (11) of the electrical machine (10). The electrical connections of the phase (11) that are present anyway are used for this. The measuring circuit (22) has a sensor (25), which can change its sensor value continuously or in stages as a function of a parameter (P) to be measured. The sensor (25) is coupled to a coupling branch (23) of the measuring circuit (22), which coupling branch is in turn coupled to one of the windings (16) of the phase (11). The measuring circuit (22) is configured to influence a coupling branch impedance (ZK) of the coupling branch (23) as a function of the sensor value and therefore of the parameter (P), as a result of which the total impedance (ZG) of the phase (11) changes. The influence of the total impedance (ZG) can be detected by the evaluation unit (24). In this way, a signal describing the parameter (P) can be transmitted to the evaluation unit (24) via the electrical connections of the phase (11).
