Heating curve
Heating curves illustrate the relationship between the
outside temperature, the target room temperature and the
supply temperature. The lower the outside temperature,
the higher the supply temperature.
In order to guarantee sufficient heat with minimum fuel
consumption at any outside temperature, the conditions
of your building and system must be taken into
consideration. The heating curve is set by your contractor
for this purpose.
Setting the slope and shift, taking the heating curve as an
example
Factory settings:
Slope = 1.4
Shift = 0
The illustrated heating curves apply with the following
settings:
Heating curve shift = 0
Standard room temperature (target room temperature)
= 68°F (20°C)
For outside temperature 7°F (
−
14°C):
A
Infloor heating system: Slope 0.2 to 0.8
B
Low temperature heating system: Slope 0.8 to 1.6
C
System with a supply temperature in excess of 167°F
(75°C), slope 1.6 to 2.0
Note:
Setting the slope or shift too high or too low will
not cause any damage to your heating system.
Both settings affect the level of the supply
temperature, which may then be too low or
unnecessarily
high.
A
If you change the slope:
The steepness of the heating curves changes.
B
If you change the shift:
The heating curves are shifted in parallel in a vertical
direction.
B
If you change the standard room temperature (target
room
temperature):
The heating curves are offset along the “Target room
temperature”
axis.
