Switch points
In the context of heating, switching points are the points at which switching or control of various devices and systems associated with heating takes place. These points are used to control the temperature, turn off and on the equipment and enable the control and regulation of the heating system.
Switch points can include:
Thermostats: Thermostats are devices that measure the temperature and, based on this, control the heating system on and off. When the temperature reaches the set value, the thermostat sends a signal to turn off the heating device and turns on again when the temperature drops below the set value.
Valves: Valves are used to regulate the flow of heat-carrying liquid (for example, water or gas) within the heating system. Switch points in the form of valves can enable or limit the flow of heat-carrying liquid to various parts of the heating system, such as radiators, underfloor heating or other hot air devices.
Time switches: Time switches are devices that allow you to preset a time schedule for switching the heating system on and off. These switching points are used for automatic control of the heating system according to time intervals, for example for regularly switching the heating on and off at certain times of the day.
Control units: Control units are devices that ensure intelligent control and regulation of the heating system. They can include temperature sensors, programmable logic and remote control capabilities. These switching points enable sophisticated control of the heating system based on specified parameters and settings.
Switching points in the heating system are important for proper functioning and efficient management of thermal processes. They help maintain the required temperature and ensure economical use of energy for heating.
