Planning and use
The “PWM control value cycle time” can be adjusted to optimise the control properties of the heating or cooling
system. The type of heating or cooling and the actuator must be considered to set the cycle time appropriately.
The following recommendations can be used:
a) electrothermal actuator
It takes 2-3 minutes to open an electrothermal valve fully.
A cycle time shorter than 15 minutes is therefore not reasonable.
b) underfloor heating
The time of constant of underfloor heating is very large.
A cycle time of 20 minutes is therefore sufficient.
c) hot-water heating
Electrothermal drives are commonly used. A cycle time of 15 minutes gives very good control results.
d) electrical convector heating
Cycle times between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the electric heating and room conditions, are
recommended.
