Equithermic regulation is set of methods that calculate set point for temperature of heating or cooling medium.

If attributes are set correctly, it should be possible to achieve desired temperature in zones with coolest possible medium (in heating mode) or warmest possible medium (in cooling mode).

    Equitherm curve returns temperature of flow water based on outdoor temperature. Angle of the curve, parallel shift, temperature limits and adjustments based on data from thermostats are affecting the final results.

    doc_tap_Angleee;

    For floor heating systems, values between 0.2 and 0.8 are commonly used. Lower values are more suitable for high quality insulation.

    Table below shows resulting set point temperature based on outdoor temperature and angle of the curve:
