Building technology explained in simple terms
Heating system provides comfort and warmth in buildings during the cold season. Since heating is a very complex system, you will find many interesting articles on heating and energy systems in this category. From hydraulic balancing, heat generation, heat distribution and heat emission to legal obligations and regulations, there have already been many and detailed articles about heating technology. I will continue to develop these, in order to offer you a comprehensive overview of heating technology. In the following the articles published so far are once again clearly listed:

The thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is also called thermostat or thermostatic valve. In this article I introduce you to the function of a thermostatic radiator valve. First of all, however, a differentiation must be made, because a thermostatic radiator valve consists of two components: the thermostatic head and the radiator valve.

In this article I will explain what hydronic balancing is and which steps are necessary to balance a heating system. For the term hydronic balancing the term hydraulic balancing is often used. Hydraulic balancing is relatively simple. [Read more…] about What is hydronic balancing?

In this article I explain what a heat pump system is and how it works. In a heat pump system, the heating water is forced to circulate in a heating circuit with the aid of a circulating pump. The circulation pump can be installed in the flow pipe (FP) or in the return pipe (RP). However, it has become generally accepted to install the pump in the flow pipe. If you can’t imagine a circulating pump, you will find a modern circulation pump in Fig. 1. [Read more…] about What is a Heat Pump System?

In this article I’ll explain to you what an Direct Vent System is. A Direct Vent System is a chimney or an exhaust pipe with two parallel flow channels (double-pipe flue). The hot exhaust gas of the fireplace is discharged over the inner channel and fresh air supplies the heater simultaneously with combustion air over the outside channel.
