Wireless remote control
Wireless remote control represents an advanced technological solution that allows easier control and operation of electrical appliances in buildings with limited electrical installations (no free wires) or unsuitable cables (e.g. they are too thin or their insulation does not match the requirements). Rather than being limited by the need for wiring or physical presence in the space, wireless remote control allows us to control and manage appliances and systems remotely, with comfort and convenience. From controlling lighting and heating in the home, to managing outdoor security and automation systems in the commercial space, wireless remote control offers a wide range of possibilities that improve our daily lives.

Heating compensation systems and controllers
Heating compensators and controllers are important factors in the world of automation and energy saving.
Compensation is the process of adjusting the temperature of the heating water to the radiators in relation to the ambient temperature.
The compensation system can be installed in most existing heating installations and it is considered necessary to add to each new installation.
Function: Compensation is achieved by installing an electronic device, which, by taking ambient temperature measurements, adjusts the supply water temperature so that the indoor temperature is the desired temperature (at 20 ° C). Therefore, the body water temperature is not always large but stable.
Result: By installing a compensation system savings of up to 30% on heating costs are achieved.

Electric hydrostatic & pump controllers
The electronic hydrostatic or circulator controllers are an important part of the heating and cooling system. These controllers regulate the flow of hot water from the boiler to the heating systems and the return of cold water to the boiler. Their operation directly affects the performance and efficiency of the heating system.
Advanced circulator controllers allow the water flow to be programmed according to the building's heating needs and weather conditions, ensuring optimal system operation. By using circulator controllers, a balance between energy efficiency and user comfort is achieved, reducing operating costs and the burden on the environment.

Thermostatic switches & valves
Thermostatic valves are devices that are mounted on the radiator heaters and allow automatic adjustment of the hot water flow and consequently the temperature control of each space separately. They are the simplest way of autonomizing the heating of the spaces that have radiators.
Thermostatic valve in radiator
Function: They are placed locally on each separate heater and progressively adjust the flow of hot water on the basis of the room temperature. Thus, each radiator becomes independent and automatically isolates when the desired temperature is reached, while the other areas in need of heating continue to operate.
Result: When the building comes to thermal equilibrium, a smaller part of the overall system will work to achieve a fuel savings of up to 30%.
Thermostatic valves are distinguished in manual or automatic digital.
Thermostatic valves are divided into manual, automatic digital (electronic) and smart.

Room Thermostats
Room thermostats are control devices that are used to adjust the temperature in a space.
Each thermostat is designed to be connected to specific types of heating / cooling systems. Therefore, our future thermostat should state in its technical specifications that it is compatible with the system installed in the room.
They are distinguished in analogue (mechanical) and digital (electronic). ANDRIANOS has a complete range of thermostats of SALUS & ENGO, covering the needs of modern heating and air conditioning.
Analogue Room Thermostat Digital Room Thermostat
Internet room thermostats (Wifi thermostats)
The rapid development of technology and the need for extra savings has led companies to create modern thermostats systems with increased communication and control capabilities.
Wifi Thermostat Salus IT500
The internet thermostats (wifi thermostats) give the option of remote parameterization via the internet in comparison with conventional thermostats. This has the ability to control and adjust the heating and air conditioning system from the PC, Tablet, and Smartphone.
Wireless thermostats and Chronothermostats
Room Thermostats, depending on how they are connected to the heat generating system (eg Boiler or Heat Pump), are distinguished in wireless and wired.
The wireless thermostats are communicating with the boiler via a wireless receiver that is installed in the boiler room and communicates wirelessly with the room thermostat installed in the building.
Room Thermostat Scheduling
An interesting function of the thermostats is the possibility of scheduling. Thermostats that have a time schedule can set a different room temperature according to a time schedule entered by the user.
With a chronothermostat, timing is possible in such a way that on the day, for example, the room has a temperature of 21 ° C and at night or the hours we are absent, 18 ° C. Changing the desired temperature is automatically done according to the program set by the user.
Wireless Chronothermostat Salus RT510RF
Advantages of scheduling:
- The room always has the desired temperature (eg in the morning we wake up) and is always maintained according to our needs.
- The heating system works more economically.
Thermostats PID ή PWM
The PID or PWM function of the most modern thermostats concerns the ability of the thermostat to perceive at any time not only the temperature of the room (such as a conventional ON / OFF thermostat), but also how quickly it changes (goes up or down) , thus maintaining the room temperature, constant.
The PID or PWM function of the most modern thermostats refers to the thermostat's ability to perceive at any moment not only the temperature of the room (such as a conventional ON / OFF thermostat) but also how quickly it changes (rises or goes down) , thus maintaining the room temperature stable.
Operation: PID thermostats are equipped with a microprocessor which:
i. It compares the desired temperature and the current one at regular intervals
ii. It records how quickly the deviation between the desired and the current temperature changes
iii. It foresees future deviations
Result: Through the above analysis, the thermostat selects the operation of the heating system in such a way that it reaches and maintains the desired temperature with the fewest possible fluctuations.
PiD control thermostats can achieve excellent comfort conditions since the temperature is constant but also economical because the space does not heat up more than you need.
Left: The operation of the conventional thermostat - Right: Convergence to the desired temperature due to PID
PiD control thermostats can and achieve excellent comfort conditions since the temperature is constant but also economical because the space does not heat up more than you need.
PiD control thermostat installation is indicated in underfloor heating installations (where the inertia of the heating system is high) and drastically improves the time delay of the temperature relative to the value set in the thermostat.
However this does not mean that the PiD or PWM thermostats are not the optimal choice for all heating installations, because thanks to "smart operation" they offer increased thermal comfort and energy saving.
