Process for regulating the amount of heat carried to the consumers of a heating system and control unit.

Abstract

Abstract In a heating plant, a heating boiler (1) may deliver too much heating power, for example if the heating boiler (1) cannot be operated below a minimum boiler temperature for constructional reasons and at the same time the heat requirement of the consumer group (2) is so low as a result of mild weather conditions that the flow temperature required is below the minimum boiler temperature, or also if one or more consumer groups (2) requires less heating power than other consumer groups (2), but the heating boiler (1) has to provide such a large supply of heat that the consumer group (2) with the highest heat requirement is provided with sufficient energy. In order to avoid overheating and the unnecessary consumption of heating power, it is proposed to reduce the capacity of the heating circuit pump (5) in accordance with the ratio of heat requirement and heat supply. This can be done, for example, by switching the heating circuit pump (5) on and off periodically. <IMAGE>
