[latexpage]Hydronic balancing is the bugbear for many craftsmen and it is often claimed that hydronic balancing in existing buildings is not worthwhile.The main argument: all the data needed for the calculation is missing. However, there is good news: The simplified...

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:

Hydronic Balancing DIY – Example on a Detached House
In this series, I would like to show you how you can use a simplified calculation method to carry out hydronic balancing yourself, using a detached house as an example. For easy comprehension there is a 7-step instruction. Reasons for the "Hydronic Balancing...
How does a gravity hot water heating system work?
[latexpage]In this article I will introduce you to gravity hot water heating. Gravity hot water heating is a heating system based on the physical principle of gravity and works due to the change in density of water. Thus, gravity heating does not require electrical...
Design of a central heating pump with example calculation
[latexpage]In this article I will show you how to calculate and design a central heating pump (circulating pump) with only few data. This calculation method is mostly used in existing buildings, because technical data is hard to find or not available at all. In a...
What is pump head and why it’s important?
[latexpage]The head of a heating pump is not as easily explained in one sentence as you might think - or maybe it is? Here is a definition attempt from Wikipedia: "In fluid dynamics, Total Dynamic Head (TDH) is the total equivalent height that a fluid is to...
How do Thermostatic Radiator Valves Work?
In this article I will explain to you how a thermostat, which is also called a thermostatic valve or thermostatic radiator valve, works, is constructed and what the differences are between conventional and electronic thermostats. Important: However, first of all, it...
