ABSTRACT:
A temperature control system for a building or the like having a plurality of individually-controlled temperature zones wherein temperature variations from a set temperature generate actuating signals for valves, dampers or other regulating devices to vary temperatures in respective zones. The regulating devices are controlled by electrical-to-mechanical transducers which convert electrical actuating signals from a central controller to mechanical displacements at respective regulating devices. Each actuator has a piston assembly operated by working pressures which vary as a function of temperature in the zone being controlled. Pressure on the piston assembly is controlled from an expansion chamber containing an evaporatable-condensable refrigerant which is selectively heated and/or cooled by a semiconductor thermoelectric module. Operating as a heat pump, the thermoelectric module either evaporates or condenses the refrigerant in the expansion chamber in accordance with sensed temperature variations in the controlled zone to proportionally vary pressure in the expansion chamber.
