Information

Description

Heating curve based control of a heater. This component is nothing more than a wrapper around the IDEAS.Thermal.Control.HeatingCurve. The set point temperature for the heater is dTHeaterSet Kelvin higher than the heating curve output in order to make sure that the heating curve temperature is met also when thermal losses are present in the circuit.
