5 Functions of the heating circuit
The following function descriptions are based on systems with heating circuits on the secondary
side. Refer to section 2.1.
5.1 Weather-compensated control
When weather-compensated control is used, the flow temperature is controlled according to the
outdoor temperature. The heating characteristic in the controller defines the flow temperature
set point as a function of the outdoor temperature (–> Fig. 1).
