Normally, the result of the comparison between these two signals directly operates the fan speed adjusting the useful output gene- rated in order to stabilize the temperature of the exiting water. If during the d.h.w. mode operation, the temperature of the pri- mary circuit goes over 90°C, the useful output is automatically reduced so that the primary circuit cannot reach excessive tem- peratures.
