Abstract
A regulating method for a heating and/or cooling system uses at least one load circuit (6), through which a fluid as a heat transfer medium flows and switches the at least one load circuit (6) on and off in dependence on a room temperature in a room to be thermally regulated by the at least one load circuit (6). A feed temperature (Tmix) of the fluid fed to the at least one load circuit (6) is set in dependence on the relative switch-on duration (D) of the at least one load circuit (6). A manifold device is also provided for a heating and/or cooling system with a control device for carrying out such a regulating method.
Claims16
A regulating method for a heating and/or cooling system, the regulating method comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one load circuit, through which a fluid as a heat transfer medium flows;
- switching the at least one load circuit on and off in dependence on a room temperature in a room to be thermally regulated by the load circuit;
- and
- setting a feed temperature of the fluid fed to the at least one load circuit in dependence on the relative switch-on duration of the at least one load circuit, the relative switch-on duration corresponding to a ratio of the switch-on duration to a time interval between a switching-on of the at least one load circuit and a subsequent, renewed switching-on of the at least one load circuit.
A manifold device for a heating and/or cooling system, the manifold device comprising:
- at least one load circuit through which a fluid as a heat transfer medium flows;
- a control device configured for carrying out a regulating method, the regulating method comprising the steps of:
- switching the at least one load circuit on and off in dependence on a room temperature in a room to be thermally regulated by the load circuit;
- and
- setting a feed temperature of the fluid fed to the at least one load circuit in dependence on the relative switch-on duration of the at least one load circuit, the relative switch-on duration corresponding to a ratio of the switch-on duration to a time interval between a switching-on of the at least one load circuit and a subsequent, renewed switching-on of the at least one load circuit.
