Information

Example that demonstrates the use of the hot water temperature reset for a heating system. The parameters of the block heaCur are for a heating system with 60°C supply water temperature and 40°C return water temperature at an outside temperature of -10°C and a room temperature of 20°C. The offset for the temperature reset is 8 Kelvin, i.e., above 12°C outside temperature, there is no heating load. The figure below shows the computed supply and return water temperatures.
