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.

Parameters

Abbreviation Summary Description Unit Value Range Default Value
S Slope Slope of the heating or cooling curve - 0.05...2.5 1,3
O Offset Parallel shift of the heating curve or cooling curve (when heating, the flow setpoint temperature is increased by this value, when cooling it is decreased) - 0
minFt Minimum flow temperature The outdoor temperature must be provided to calculate the flow temperature, either using input Ct or the system variable. ° 15
maxFt Maximum flow temperature The outdoor temperature must be provided to calculate the flow temperature, either using input Ct or the system variable. ° 65
