Heating Curve

Calculates the heating flow temperature based on weather compensation. Inputs (Tt) and (Ct) read the setpoint and outdoor temperatures, respectively.
The slope of the heating curve determines how the system responds to changes in outdoor temperature. This is defined by parameter (S), which must be adjusted to match the characteristics of the heating system.
