The invention relates to a heating system, particularly for motor vehicles, in which a heat exchange arrangement operating in the manner of a heating member can be thermally coupled by means of a hydraulic heat transfer circuit, particularly a water circuit, to a first heat source, in particular an internal combustion motor serving to drive the motor vehicle, and also to a second heat source, in particular a burner operable independently of the first heat source, wherein a control arrangement can be changed over, in dependence on the operating state of a first pump allocated to the first heat source, between a first state, in which the heat transfer medium or at least a greater portion of it is conducted over both heat sources, and a second state, in which the heat transfer medium is conducted by a further, hydrodynamic pump, only or preponderantly over the second heat source.
A heating system in which a heat exchange arrangement operating in the manner of a heating member is thermally couplable via a hydraulic heat transfer circuit to a first heat source and to a second heat source, wherein a control arrangement is changeable over, in dependence on an operating state of a first pump allocated to said first heat source, between a first state, in which a heat transfer medium or at least a greater portion of said heat transfer medium is conducted over said first and second heat sources, and a second state, in which said heat transfer medium is conducted by a second, hydrodynamic pump, only or preponderantly over said second heat source, wherein said second pump has, axially displaceable in a pump housing, a radial impeller with radial impeller vanes arranged on one face of said radial impeller and a pump inlet arranged axially in front of said face and two radial pump outlets, mutually spaced apart in an axial direction of said radial impeller, and wherein a first pump outlet of said two radial pump outlets that is axially remote from said pump inlet communicates with an inlet side of said first heat source, and a second pump outlet of said two radial pump outlets that is axially nearer to said pump inlet communicates with an inlet side of said second heat source.
