Deflection circuit

The diverter circuit is characterised by power regulation in the consumer circuit. The partial flows are diverted by a control valve. The pump and control valves can be installed in the flow or return.

Features of the diverter circuit:
  • There is a pump in the producer circuit.
  • The consumer circuit is variable in volume.
  • There are always constant temperatures in the primary circuit at the consumer.
  • The return temperature is quite high.
Typical applications of the diverter circuit are
  • Air heaters
  • Reheater
  • Air conditioning
  • Zone control
