It contains two heating circuits. Both circuits are equipped with commercially available heating technology control devices. Each heating circuit contains a circulating pump. A digital, temperature led heating controller controls the heating circuit with floor heating. A three-way mixing valve is the actuator. The second heating circuit contains a forced convector with temperature controller, a radiator with thermostatic valve and a radiator with one-pipe radiator valve. A complete domestic heating system can be set up using the trainer together with a hot water generator. Hot water passes through the radiators and heats the room air.
