Access point mode
If access point mode is activated, the control unit
works like a WiFi router.
Mobile devices (smartphones or laptops, etc.) can be
connected wirelessly to the control unit’s local network.
You can then use the mobile device’s internet browser
to check information, such as the open source licen-
ces.
System version
The system version describes the components of your
system.
Some examples:
■
Device
■
Heating circuit pump
■
Mixer
■
Valves
■
Control unit
■
Radiator
Every system is individually configured and adapted to
the local conditions by your heating contractor.
Fuel cell
The fuel cell consists essentially of the following com-
ponents:
■
Reformer
In the reformer, a hydrogen-rich process gas is pro-
duced from the supplied natural gas. The process
gas is converted to electricity and heat in the fuel cell
stack.
■
Fuel cell stack
Electrochemical converter, similar to a battery, which
converts the chemical energy of the process gas to
electricity and heat. As the conversion occurs directly
and without any thermal or mechanical intermediate
steps, the fuel cell process is significantly more effi-
cient than conventional power generation.
■
Inverter
The inverter converts the direct current produced in
the fuel cell stack to alternating current. The alternat-
ing current can be fed into the building mains.
