operation
Saving energy with modern heating technology: oil condensing technology
saves your cash
Modern condensing technology utilises that energy for heating, which in conventional
heating systems is expelled unused to the atmosphere with the flue gas.
Use as little electrical energy as possible
Operate your system with multi-stage heating pumps at the lowest possible level.
Modulating pumps generally do not require adjustments, since they are automatically
matched to the prevailing demand.
Regular heating system maintenance pays for itself
A contaminated burner or poorly adjusted boiler can reduce the heating system
efficiency. Regular heating system maintenance through your local contractor quickly
pays for itself.
Heating at the lowest energy level
Operate your heating system, where possible, with a return temperature of less than
45 °C, to achieve the highest possible utilisation of condensing technology.
A heating system control unit also regulates your heating costs
A heating system in standby mode saves energy. A modern, weather-compensated
or room temperature dependent heating system control unit ensures - with automatic
night setback and thermostatic valves - that the system only operates when heat is
required, saving money for the rest of the time.
- Equip your heating system with a weather-compensated heating controller from
the Wolf range of accessories. Your heating contractor will be happy to advise you
about optimum adjustments.
- In conjunction with the Wolf control unit accessory, use the night setback function
to match the energy level to the actual demand period.
- Use the optional summer mode adjustment.
Never overheat your home
Adjust the room temperature as accurately as possible. This leaves occupants
comfortable and energy is not wasted on providing heating output that nobody needs.
Differentiate between the optimum temperature for different rooms, such as living
rooms and bedrooms.
A room temperature which is one degree higher than necessary represents an
additional energy consumption of approx. 6%.
- Use room thermostats to match the room temperature to the actual use of the
room.
- In any room where you have installed a room temperature sensor, open the
thermostatic valve fully. This enables you to achieve optimum control
characteristics for your heating system.
Ensure adequate air circulation
Air must be able to circulate freely near the radiators and the room temperature
sensors, otherwise the heating system will lose effectiveness. Badly positioned long
curtains or furniture "swallow" up to 20% of energy.
