Heating and domestic hot water controllers
Before saving energy became relevant in everyday life, people regulated the temperature in their homes simply by opening and closing the manual valves on the radiators: this required a constant high temperature (70°C to 90°C) of the water in the boiler.
This is anything but resource-saving heating technology!
The use of so-called mixers represents significant progress in this area: they direct cooled return water to the hot boiler or buffer storage tank water, to ensure that the supply temperature (temperature of the heating water flowing to the radiators and underfloor heating system). The heating circuit controller controls this process depending on the room or external temperature.
The automatic heating circuit controller is the most energy-efficient type of heating circuit control:
a constant comparison of the external or guide room temperature with the selected room temperature keeps the losses in the piping system as low as possible via constant adjustment of the supply temperature.
The Steca system controllers fulfill these demands: their intelligent control concept guides the heat management of the entire system and guarantees convenient, demand-oriented and reliable provision of heat primarily from renewable energy sources, always focusing on maximum system efficiency.
This is proven by the recorded measurement data which documents yields and consumption; remote data transmission, visualisation and analysis software replace cost-intensive on-site maintenance of the system.
The Steca system controllers offer also high flexibility and modularity: in addition to numerous pre-programmed hydraulic versions, optional functions allow individual integration in the existing hydraulic system. Expansion modules allow the system to be expanded as required.
