Functional principle of the heating system
Function:
Burns oil safely and in an eco-friendly manner.
Takes the heat generated by the combustion from the
exhaust gases and transfers it to the heating water.
The energy in the heating oil is converted by com-
bustion in the heating boiler into heat.
It holds a reserve of domestic hot water for consump-
tion (e.g. for showering).
Controls and monitors operation of the heating boiler.
Ensures that, whatever the temperature outside, the
room temperature is as required – in an optimum and
fuel-
efficient manner.
Delivers the heat from the heating water to the room.
Transports the heating water from the heating boiler
to the radiators and back again to the heating boiler,
where it is reheated.
Convey the heat generated from the heating boiler to
the radiators.
Modifies the feedwater temperature (water being fed
into the radiator) so that irrespective of the outside
temperature the desired room temperature is at-
tained. This is achieved by the addition of a proporti-
on of cooler water from the heating return circuit.
Indicates the water pressure in the heating system.
