5.1.1 Gradient characteristic
Basically, the following rule applies: a decrease in the outdoor temperature causes the flow tem
-
perature to increase.
By varying the parameters
Gradient and Level, you can adapt the characteristic to your indivi
-
dual requirements: An increased
Gradient causes the flow temperature to increase; a lower
Gradient causes a lower flow temperature. The Level parameter shifts the heating characteristic
parallely up or down. Outside the times-of-use, reduced set points are used for control:
Reduced flow set point = Flow set point –
Set-back difference
The Max. flow temperature and Min. flow temperature parameters mark the upper and lower li
-
mits of the flow temperature.
Examples for adjusting the characteristic:
4
Old building, radiator design 90/70: Gradient approx. 1.8
4
New building, radiator design 70/55: Gradient approx. 1.4
4
New building, radiator design 55/45: Gradient approx. 1.0
4
Underfloor heating depending on arrangement: Gradient smaller than 0.5
