In a first operating mode, the drive motor is activated by the control device (17) such that a rotor (6) of the drive motor continuously rotates. In the second operating mode the drive motor is controlled by the control device (17) such that the rotor (6) of the drive motor is moved further stepwise manner in at least one selected angular step of preferably smaller than 360°.
Abstract:
A method for adapting the control of the feed temperature of a heating installation to a building to be heated or at least to a building part to be heated, with which the heating installation supplies the building or the building part with heat by way of a heat transfer medium led in the circuit. The circuit comprises at least one temperature-controlled heating circuit. The flow rate of the heat transfer medium in the circuit is registered in a continuous manner or in temporal intervals. The adaptation of the control of the feed temperature is effected automatically in dependence on the registered values.
