SMART STORAGE HEATER:
Ecombi Plus optimizes the energy management and consumption and provides the heat demand requested by the user in each
period of time reaching the desired comfort.
Smart charging control
Ecombi Plus allows optimizing the energy management and consumption using a linear regression model based on the
temperature registered in the core of Ecombi Plus to determine the current % of the storage heater charge and use this
information to charge only the heat necessary to supply the daily heat demand and avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
The charge level is monitored every time by the electronic control and represented in the display by the dots at the bottom of
the display. 5 dots represent a fully storage heater charge.

While Ecombi Plus is charging, the last dot is flashing at the top right part of the display.
Protection for excess of temperature in the room
In order to achieve maximum savings and avoid unnecessary energy consumption, if, during the charging period, the temperature
in the room exceeds the temperature set up in Ecombi Plus for that room, then the charging will be interrupted until the
temperature in the room decreases.
Charge correction
The % of the storage heater charge is corrected automatically by Ecombi Plus software. If working hours of balancing element is
higher than a certain value, storage heater charge will be increased by a certain %. On the other hand, if balancing element
working hours does not exceed this value, storage heater charge level is reduced by the same %.
This behaviour adapts the consumption to the real thermal needs, allowing the maximum level of energy savings at the required
comfort. The set-up temperature is independent of the Storage Heater level of charge. Initial setting for charge is 100%. This
value can be modified by entering "General Settings" part and modify the initial % of storage charge according to UP01 setting.
Balancing Heating Element
If the energy discharged with natural convection is not enough to satisfy the heat demand of the room where Ecombi Plus is
installed, a balancing heating element incorporated in the Ecombi Plus body will be connected providing additional heating to the
room if necessary to supply the heat demand of the room. The maximum working period of the balancing heating element
during on-peak electric electric periods can be adjusted and cancelled by modifying UP08 parameter. (please go to "2.3.5.
General Parameters").

Storage Heater and Balancing Heating Element will never work at the same time.
Open Window Detection
With open window detection activated, the balancing element operation will be disconnected automatically when a sharp
decrease in temperature in the room is detected avoiding energy wastage.

Adaptive Start Control
With adaptive start control activated, Ecombi Plus electronic control analyses the heating requirements of the room where it is
installed using this information to turn on the balancing heating element in advance in order to reach the set point temperature
at the desired time.
