PURGE CONTROLLERS FOR PLUMBING SYSTEMS
A plumbing system purge controller comprises a processor coupled to an interface adaptor having inputs for receiving signals from at least one temperature sensor located, e.g., proximate at least a portion of the plumbing system. The interface adapter is configured for communication with an actuator of a purge valve incorporated within the plumbing system proximate a drain outlet. In operation, if the processor detects signals from the temperature sensor indicating a temperature below a first threshold, it causes the interface adapter to send a purge signal to the of purge valve actuator to purge fluid from the plumbing system. In another embodiment, the purge controller is configured to activate a dedicated standby generator for an associated heating system to provide electrical power to the heating system upon detection of a second temperature from the temperature sensor that is above the first threshold temperature.
