                  1.3  Function and Type of Heating Components



                  1.3.1  Type of Heating
                  The type of heating is generally defined by the clients or planner.

                      Related to the type of heating
                        Low temperature set for all conventional heating (max. flow temperature of 75°C)
                        Minimum temperature is used for underfloor heating and/or for heat pumps or solar
                         panels (max. flow temperature of 50°C)
                      Related to the generation of energy

                        Type of primary energy
                      Related to the number of energy sources

                        Single boiler systems with/without hot water storage
                        Multiple boiler systems with/without hot water storage

                      Related to the heating elements
