Abstract

An electric storage heater assembly which is charged at night when energy rates are low and utilized during the day when the rates are higher. A fan unit is controlled by a thermostat to extract heat from the heater assembly. The previous days experience relative to the total time the fan operates is a measure of the heat to be stored during the off hours. An integrator with input and output switching elements activated by a clock controlled time switch is used in connection with a three position room thermostat, the positions being for high and low temperatures and neutral. The input switching element has positive and negative terminals and during day operation, the time the thermostat is in its low temperature position is summed through the positive terminal. The time the thermostat is in its high temperature position is subtracted from the accumulated value of the integrator through the negative terminal. The output switching element operates at night and controls the charging of heat storage assembly in accordance with the net accumulated value in the integrator which was determined by the experience incurred during the day.
