The device for regulating the pressure of a sanitary hot water circuit and, consequently, a flow rate of hot water exiting at least one outlet forming part of a sanitary hot water distribution installation having at least one source of hot water supplying a pump (2) that pressurizes the hot water, at least one circuit of small-bore pipes (5.2) conveying the pressurized hot water to at least one outlet (41), and a regulating system is characterized in that the regulating system has a pressure reducer (90) positioned upstream of each small-bore hot water circuit, and in that the device has means for determining the pressure in each small-bore pipe (5.2) at the outlet or outlets and for transmitting this pressure information to the corresponding pressure reducer (90) at the outlet or outlets. The invention also relates to the method implementing this device.
A device for regulating the pressure in a sanitary hot water circuit and consequently for regulating the hot water flow exiting from at least one outlet point being part of a sanitary hot water distribution installation, wherein the hot water distribution installation includes at least one hot water source pressurized by a pump (2), at least one small-section pipe circuit (5.2) supplying hot water to at least one outlet point (41), and a regulation system characterized in that the regulation system includes a pressure reducer (90) positioned upstream of each small-section hot water circuit and in that the device comprises for determining the pressure in each small-section pipe (5.2) at the least one outlet point and to transmit this pressure information to the corresponding pressure reducer (90) at the at least one outlet point.
