System conditions
1. Twin pipe system with thermostat/zone
valves and virtually no user authority
• H
> 4 m
N
• Very long distribution lines
• Strongly throttled stop valves for pipe sec-
tions
• Sectional differential pressure control
• High pressure loss in system parts, through
which total volume flows (boiler/cooling
machine, poss. safe heat exchanger, distri-
bution line up to 1st branch)
2. Primary circuits with high pressure loss
1. Twin pipe system with thermostat/zone
valves and high user authority
• HN ≤ 2 m
• Reconstructed thermosiphon circulation
systems
• Retrofitting to large temperature differ-
ences (e.g. district heat)
• Low pressure loss in system parts, through
which total volume flows (boiler/cooling
machine, poss. safe heat exchanger, distri-
bution line up to 1st branch)
2. Primary circuits with little pressure loss
3. Underfloor heating with thermostat or
zone valves
4. Single pipe systems with thermostat or
stop valves for pipe sections
