Weather-compensated controller cannot function without temperature sensors. The current temperature is monitored by temperature sensors, which can be easily divided into several basic types.
For measuring the temperature of the heating medium in pipes,
strap-on sensors are used, attached externally to the pipes using a clamp band. They are suitable for
all common pipe diameters and the installation is simple and very quick. They also serve to monitor the temperature of the return water, which is very important for the controller.
Outdoor sensors provide the weather-compensated controller not only with data on the outdoor temperature, but also, to a limited extent, measure the intensity of solar radiation, wind strength, and the temperature of the wall on which the sensor is mounted. All these are
important data for the proper functioning of weather-compensated heating.
The
immersion sensor is connected so that its measuring insert is placed in the DHW tank, where it measures the temperature of the domestic hot water.
There are also additional
room sensors available for weather-compensated regulation. Temperature sensors are most commonly connected via cable, where wireless connection can also be used if necessary.
The correct functioning of temperature sensors is indispensable for the operation of a heating system controlled by weather-compensated regulation.
