    All thermostatic elements can be combined with any type RA control valves. The clip connection provides a simple and precise fastening of the thermocouple on the valve. The protective casing of thermoelements RA 2920 and RA 2922 prevents their unauthorized dismantling and reconfiguration by unauthorized persons. The technical characteristics of RA type radiator thermostats correspond to European standards EN 215–1 and Russian GOST 30815–2002.

    Technical data for thermostatic elements of the RA 2000 series

    The main device of the thermostatic element is the bellows, which provides proportional control. The thermocouple sensor senses changes in ambient temperature. The bellows and the sensor are filled with a volatile liquid and its vapours. The adjusted pressure in the bellows corresponds to the temperature of its charging. This pressure is balanced by the compression force of the tuning spring. As the air temperature around the sensor rises, some of the liquid evaporates and the vapor pressure in the bellows rises. At the same time, the bellows increases in volume, moving the valve spool towards closing the hole for the coolant flow in heater until a balance is reached between the spring force and the vapor pressure. When the air temperature drops, the vapors condense, and the pressure in the bellows drops, which leads to a decrease in its volume and the movement of the valve spool towards the opening to a position at which the equilibrium of the system is again established. The vapor charge will always condense in the coldest part of the sensor, usually the furthest from the valve body. Therefore, the radiator thermostat will always respond to changes room temperature without feeling the temperature of the coolant in the supply pipeline. However, when the air around the valve is still heated by the heat given off by the pipeline, the sensor may register more than high temperature than indoors. Therefore, in order to eliminate such influence, it is recommended to install thermostatic elements, as a rule, in horizontal position. Otherwise, it is necessary to use thermocouples with a remote sensor.

    Selecting the type of thermostatic element

    Thermostatic elements with built-in sensor

    When choosing a thermostatic element, one should be guided by the rule: the sensor must always respond to the air temperature in the room.

    Thermostatic elements with an integrated sensor must always be positioned horizontally so that ambient air can circulate freely around the sensor. They should not be installed in a vertical position, as the thermal effect on the sensor from the valve body and the heating pipe will cause the thermostat to malfunction.

    Thermostatic elements with remote sensor

    Thermostatic elements with a remote sensor should be used if: o thermoelements are covered with a blind curtain; o the heat flow from the pipelines of the heating system affects the built-in temperature sensor; o the thermoelement is located in the draft zone; o Required vertical installation thermoelement. The remote sensor of the thermostatic element must be installed on a wall free from furniture and curtains or on a plinth under the heater, if there are no pipelines of the heating system. When mounting the sensor, the capillary tube should be pulled out to the required length (maximum 2 m) and fixed to the wall using the supplied brackets or a special gun.

    Thermostatic elements of the RAW series

    Thermostatic elements of the RAW series are automatic temperature control devices designed to complete RA type radiator thermostats. The radiator temperature controller is a direct-acting proportional air temperature controller with a small proportional band, which is currently used in heating systems of buildings for various purposes. The thermostat type RA consists of two parts: a universal thermostatic element of the RAW series and a control valve with a pre-set flow rate RA-N (for two-pipe heating systems) or RA-G (for a one-pipe system).

    The RAW series thermostatic elements production program includes:

  • RAW 5010 - thermostatic element with built-in temperature sensor;
  • RAW 5012 - thermostatic element with remote temperature sensor;
  • RAW 5110 is a thermostatic element with a built-in sensor and a device for 100% shut-off of the thermostatic valve.

    Thermostatic elements of the RAW series are equipped with devices for protecting the system from freezing, fixing and limiting the temperature setting. The RAW 5012 is equipped with a 2 m ultra-thin capillary tube that is coiled inside the sensor housing and connects the remote sensor to the thermostatic element. During installation, the pipe is pulled to the required length. The clip connection provides a simple and precise fastening of the thermocouple on the valve.

    The technical characteristics of radiator temperature controllers with thermoelements of the RAW series comply with European standards EN 215-1 and Russian GOST 30815-2002.

    In order to prevent unauthorized dismantling, the thermocouple can be fixed to the valve using a special retainer (see Accessories).

    Specifications of RAW thermostatic elements

    The main device of the thermostatic element is the bellows, which provides proportional control. The thermocouple sensor senses changes in ambient temperature. The bellows and sensor are filled with a special temperature-sensitive fluid. The adjusted pressure in the bellows corresponds to the temperature of its charging. This pressure is balanced by the compression force of the tuning spring. As the temperature of the air around the sensor rises, the liquid expands and the pressure in the bellows increases. At the same time, the bellows increases in volume, moving the valve spool towards closing the hole for the coolant flow into the heater until a balance is reached between the spring force and the fluid pressure. When the air temperature drops, the liquid begins to compress, and the pressure in the bellows drops, which leads to a decrease in its volume and the movement of the valve spool towards the opening to a position at which the equilibrium of the system is again established. To exclude the influence of warm air from the heating pipe of the heater, it is recommended to install thermostatic elements, as a rule, in a horizontal position. Otherwise, it is necessary to use thermocouples with a remote sensor.

    Preinstalled Programs

  • The program without the function of automatic temperature reduction - maintains a constant arbitrarily set temperature throughout the day. Energy saving program - reduces the temperature to 17 °C at night (22.30-06.00). The energy saving program can be changed. Extended energy saving program - reduces the temperature to 17 °C at night (22.30-06.00) and during the day on weekdays (08.00-16.00). It is possible to change the extended energy saving program.

    The "long absence" function allows you to lower the temperature in the room when it is not in use. The period of absence and the temperature are set arbitrarily by the consumer.

    The choice of programs and their adjustment are made in accordance with the instruction attached to the thermoelement.

    Thermoelectric actuators TWA series

    Thermoelectric mini-actuators of the TWA series are designed for on-off control of various control valves in heating and heat-cold supply systems of local ventilation installations.

    The actuator is equipped with a visual travel indicator that shows whether the valve is in closed or open position.

    TWA actuators, depending on the modification, can be used with Danfoss RA, RAV8 and VMT series valves, as well as Heimeier, MNG and Oventrop valves with M 30 x 1.5 actuator threads. If the actuator is used with other types of valves, the valve must be checked for geometry compatibility and to ensure that it closes. The supply voltage of the electric actuator is 24 or 230 V. The valves can be normally closed in the absence of voltage (NC) and normally open (NO). In addition, the 24 V normally closed actuator is supplied with a limit switch (NC/S).

    Thermostat valves with presetting RA-N and RA-NCX DN = 15 mm (chrome plated)

    Control valves RA-N and RA-NCX are designed for use in two-pipe pumping systems water heating.

    RA-N is equipped with a built-in device for preliminary (installation) adjustment of its bandwidth within the following ranges:

  • Kv = 0.04-0.56 m3/h - for valves DN=10 mm;
  • Kv = 0.04-0.73 m3/h - for valves DN=15 mm;
  • Kv = 0.10-1.04 m3/h - for valves DN=20 and 25 mm.

    The RA-N and RA-NCX valves can be combined with all thermostatic elements of the RA, RAW and RAX series as well as with the thermoelectric actuator TWA-A.

    To identify the RA-N and RA-NCX valves, their protective caps are colored red. The protective cap must not be used to block the flow of heat transfer fluid through the heater. Therefore, the handle (code no. 013G3300) must be used.

    The valve bodies are made of nickel plated pure brass (RA-N) or chrome plated (RA-NCX).

    The technical characteristics of the RA-N and RA-NCX valves in combination with the thermostatic elements of the RA, RAW and RAX series comply with European standards EN 215-1 and Russian GOST 30815-2002, and the size of the connecting thread - with HD 1215 (BS 6284 1984). All Danfoss radiator thermostats are manufactured in ISO 9000 (BS 5750) certified factories.

    To prevent deposits and corrosion, RA-N and RA-NCX thermostatic valves should be used in water heating systems where the coolant meets the requirements of the Rules for the Technical Operation of Power Plants and Networks of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, please contact Danfoss. It is not recommended to use formulations containing petroleum products (mineral oils) to lubricate valve parts.

    Adjustment to the calculated value is made easily and accurately without the use of special tools. To do this, perform the following operations:

  • remove the protective cap or thermostatic element;
  • raise the setting ring;
  • turn the scale of the setting ring so that the desired value is opposite the setting mark "o" located on the side of the valve outlet (factory setting "N");
  • release the setting ring.

    Presetting can be done in the range "1" to "7" in 0.5 intervals. In the "N" position, the valve is fully open. Installation on the dark area of ​​the scale should be avoided.

    When the thermostatic element is mounted, the presetting is hidden and thus protected from unauthorized changes.

    Preset thermostatic valve RA-N with press fitting

    The RA-N valve is designed for use in two-pipe water heating pump systems with copper or stainless steel pipelines. Special crimping tools are required to connect the valve nipple to the pipeline. valve body according to appearance and technical specifications identical to standard valves RA-N DN = 15 mm. RA-N can be used with all types of thermostatic elements of the RA or RAW series, as well as with special design thermostatic elements type RAX and thermoelectric actuator TWA-A.

    The RA-N control valve is equipped with a built-in device for preliminary (mounting) adjustment of its capacity Kv in the range from 0.04 to 0.73 m3/h.

    To identify the valves, the protective cap is colored red. The cap must not be used to cover the controlled medium. For this purpose, a special metal handle (code no. 013G3300) should be used. The valve body is made of DZR nickel-plated brass and the push pin is made of stainless steel. The pin does not require lubrication during the life of the valve. The gland packing can be replaced without emptying the piping system. RA-N should be used in water heating systems where the coolant meets the requirements of the Rules for the technical operation of power plants and networks of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, please contact Danfoss. It is not recommended to use formulations containing petroleum products (mineral oils) to lubricate valve parts.

    High flow thermostatic valve RA-G

    Thermoregulatory valve with increased flow rate RA-G is intended for use, as a rule, in single pipe systems water heating with pump circulation of the coolant that meets the requirements of the Rules for the technical operation of power plants and heating networks of the Russian Federation. The valve is not recommended for use if mineral oil impurities are present in the coolant.

    RA-G is equipped with an oil seal that can be replaced without draining the heating system. The pressure pin in the gland is made of chrome steel and does not require lubrication during the life of the valve. All versions of RA-G valves can be combined with any thermostatic elements of the RA series.

    RA-G valves are supplied with gray (for their identification) protective caps, which must not be used to shut off the heating medium flow. Therefore, a special metal service locking handle (code no. 013G3300) must be used.

    Set of thermostatic fittings X-traTM for heated towel rails and design radiators.

    The X-tra™ thermostatic kit is specially designed for heated towel rails. It consists of a thermostatic valve, thermostatic element and shut-off valve with drain function. The innovative self-sealing connection of the valves to the radiator is made with a 1/2 inch thread. Valves and thermocouple are available in white, chrome and steel versions and fit most towel warmers. This kit is the perfect ending to the heated towel rail. Attractive and compact design allows you to install the thermostat under the heated towel rail parallel to the wall, eliminating accidental hits on it.

    The range includes two types of thermostats with different control principles:

    • RAX, which regulates the air temperature in the room;
    • RTX, which detects and regulates the temperature of the water leaving the heated towel rail. Used on towel warmers and adjusted 5-10°C above room temperature, the RTX thermostat provides a constant temperature for drying towels.
    The thermostats have the same design, except for the numbers on the tuning scale: on RAX they are Roman, on RTX they are Arabic.

    The valve assembly is a body with a double-sided self-sealing fitting, which has two sealing rings: one for sealing the connection of the fitting with the heated towel rail, the second for sealing the connection of the fitting with the valve body. The hexagon socket screw is used to seal the connection between the valve body and the fitting. If the O-rings do not fit the fittings on the heated towel rail, a traditional sealing material is used.


  • The Danfoss thermostat is a device that is widely used in various domestic as well as industrial heating systems. These samples are different high quality, accuracy and ease of use.

    Let's study their features in more detail so that you also have the opportunity to use these perfect mechanisms for your systems.

    Description and purpose

    Regulator Danfoss- a device that is used to control the temperature of the air in the room. Such a device can be used in various heating systems, including those where water acts as a heat carrier.

    The regulator allows you to manually control the operation of such a system, save heat, and also turn on and off the operation of all heating. The thermostat is used both in home networks and in closed ecosystems such as greenhouses, or in production. It is also used for the operation of refrigerators, air conditioners and other systems in which it is important to observe temperature regime.

    1.1 Design of Danfoss thermostats

    Danfoss regulator, regardless of its design. It is a small chamber filled with gas or liquid. This liquid or gas, when exposed to temperature, expands, presses on the shut-off valve, as a result of which the flow of heating fluid to the radiator stops, due to which the system increases the temperature.

    When the room is cooled, the liquid contracts and the reverse reaction occurs. Such a system of work is valid for all types of radiator, including products for refrigerators. Almost all products of this manufacturer work according to this principle, including Danfoss RTD and Danfoss RA lines, as well as many others.

    2 Danfoss range of thermostats

    Danfoss has a fairly wide range of temperature controllers. Currently, among its products are the following types of devices:

    • thermostats for design regulators of the model range 013G4001- 013G4009. Suitable for heated towel rails, as well as various sections of heating networks. Are issued in versions for right - and left-sided installation;

    • Danfoss RTD 3640 is a variety of models for heating systems. Designed for two-pipe standard system. Have RTD function of protection against freezing for the winter. This variety is suitable for domestic, industrial heating systems, but not for refrigerators. It has only 4 divisions, indicated by both Arabic and Roman numerals;

    • liquid-filled RAX models. This series is also intended for heated towel rails and design radiators. The model is applicable to most modern versions of design radiators, has divisions with both Arabic and Roman numerals;


    All presented versions of thermostats are accompanied by a whole series of special accessories that simplify their installation and further use.

    Almost all thermostats released in this series are presented in three different versions: golden, white, silver. You can choose the type that suits your system, the valve and temperature jackal work almost the same for them.

    2.1 How to install a Danfoss thermostat?

    The Danfoss regulator is mounted directly on the hot supply pipe of your heating system. Installation of any model, including RTD 3640, RA, is not difficult. To work in this case you'll have to do this:

    1. Disconnect the system from the total capacity, cut off the pipe right size for installing a thermostat. Without this step, the installation fails.
    2. Using special devices, we make a thread on the existing pipe, on which the thermostat will be installed.
    3. We process the area with sanitary paste, and already on it we attach the valve body RTD 3640, RA or any other.
    4. We connect the device itself to the valve, tightening the connection with a washer. Additional sealing is not needed here.
    5. Remove the fuse, build the thermostat on maximum value 5, then put a cap with a scale on it. It is important to install it until it clicks for the most tight and high-quality fit.
    6. Once again we check the sealing of the system, after which it can connect it back to common system supplies. Let the valve open and close once, and you will be sure that the equipment is working correctly.

    Installation of RTD, RA or other model is complete. Now you can freely use the device.

    2.2 How to set up a Danfoss thermostat?

    Setting up such a device as the Danfoss RTD, RA regulator is quite simple and accessible to all users. In order to implement it, you need to study the temperature scale available at the end of the device (it may differ slightly depending on which version you are using). Then set the temperature you are interested in by simply moving the pointer on the device to the parameter you need.

    You can also choose intermediate values ​​if they suit you. Within a few minutes, the valve will adjust to the desired position, and the temperature in the apartment will come to the desired parameter, and you will be able to enjoy the most comfortable microclimate for you. The valve is regulated in the same way for models for refrigerators.

    2.3 Danfoss thermostat and its types (video)

    Heating and ventilation costs average 30-50% family budget. And the problem is not in the function itself, but in poor-quality energy consumption. A convenient solution was offered by Danfoss - a thermostat to control the temperature in the house and the operation of the heating system. This device can be used in combination with almost all boilers, including heating devices with a liquid heat carrier.

    The thermal head is used at home, in an apartment, industrial premises, warehouses, indoor greenhouses and greenhouses, in a word, wherever a relatively constant temperature regime is required. And this applies not only to heating, but also to air conditioning. So, the thermal head equally successfully interacts with air conditioners, refrigeration equipment and other units responsible for temperature.

    Design features

    The main purpose of the Danfoss thermostat is to maintain the user-selected temperature regime for a long time. The design of the device includes two main parts:

    • thermostatic element or as it is also called - thermostat;
    • valve.

    A valve is first mounted on the battery and only a thermostat is installed on it. It is the second element that is the main one in the design of the device. It monitors the temperature environment, after which it gives the necessary signal to the valve, which in turn opens or closes the coolant flow.

    In the inner area of ​​the Danfoss thermostat there is a bellows - a corrugated container filled with gas or liquid. When exposed to temperature, the filler begins to change dimensions and press on stop valve. When the coolant flow is blocked in the heating units, the temperature indicator begins to rise.

    If the room is very cold, the filler is compressed and a reverse reaction is formed - the chamber pulls the spool rod behind it, which in turn opens a gap in the valve element for the coolant to enter.

    The company produces two types of thermostat - for gas and liquid. But the second option is considered more inert, it gives a signal to change the temperature regime much more slowly.

    Varieties and symbols of devices

    The type of filler and purpose is determined by the following abbreviation:

    • RTS - liquid bellows

    • RTD-N- gas device for one-pipe, two-pipe pumping system

    In some models, in addition to the main function, there are a number of additional options. For example, a program to protect against interference with the set settings by random persons. The option will be convenient for installation in public institutions or children's institutions. The number of modes and types of functions differ depending on the selected modification.

    Model range of devices

    The company produces a fairly wide the lineup Danfoss heating temperature controllers.

    The most popular variations are:

    1. Danfoss RDT marking 3640 - the device is designed for use on two-pipe heating systems standard type. It is equipped with the RTD option, which excludes freezing of the main line in the cold season. It is used in household, industrial conditions. It has four divisions with designations in the form of Roman numerals.
    2. The Danfoss RAX regulator is a liquid type of device that is used for installation on designer-type radiators or heated towel rails. It has attractive external parameters and a minimalist style. On the case there are only divisions with Roman or Arabic numerals.
    3. Living ECO with the function of monitoring the microclimate in the house. This is an advanced series that has been successfully used in commercial establishments and residential buildings. The peculiarity of the thermostat for a heating radiator is that it has a liquid crystal screen that reports all necessary information about the coolant. Also on the case there are three main keys for setting modes.
    4. The Danfoss RA-299 gas appliance with automated temperature control is available in several colors. It reacts quickly to temperature changes. It is used exclusively for equipping traditional heating systems.
    5. 013 G4 001-013 G4 009 - multifunctional series of devices suitable for both heated towel rails and various areas of the heating device. There are left and right hand types.

    Each of the presented options is completed with details that simplify the mounting of the device and its subsequent use.

    VIDEO: Overview of Danfoss thermostatic kits

    Mounting the thermal head

    The Danfoss thermostat is installed directly on the "hot" pipe, which supplies the coolant to the domestic heating system. Installation work do not have any difficulties, even when it comes to design variations, the installation principle is the same for everyone.

    Need to follow next steps works:

    1. Mark the inlet pipe to determine the area to be cut. When doing this, take into account the dimensions of the valve body and take away the threaded element, which will go directly into the pipe.
    2. Turn off the heating and drain the water so as not to flood the house during work.
    3. According to the marks, cut off an unnecessary section of the pipe and make a thread on the outer part of the cut using a die.
    4. Treat the connecting part with a special plumbing paste of any manufacturer and a fumka.
    5. Screw the valve element onto the thread that was made with a die, then tighten it well with a washer. Additionally, it is no longer necessary to seal the joint area; this connection will be enough to prevent the pipe from leaking.
    6. Remove the fuse, set the maximum value of “5” on the thermostat and put on the case with the scale on top. The cap is put on until it stops, a ringing click is the defining signal, it indicates a tight contact of the parts.
    7. Check all connections and connect thermal device back to the common heating system.

    Check the functioning of the Danfos regulator before the first opening and closing of the valve assembly. If the installation was carried out according to the rules, there should be no problems.

    How to adjust the device

    Although all modifications of Danfoss thermostats have differences in external parameters, technical specifications, device settings are done in the same way. To implement it, you will need to refer to the operating instructions and study the designations of the modes indicated on the device case. The indicators may differ depending on which model is used.

    Next, set the desired temperature on the device. To do this, move the torque element to the required mode. If a device with push-button control was installed, all manipulations are carried out by pressing the keys "add" or "decrease" the temperature.

    You can also choose an intermediate parameter if it is more suitable for creating a certain microclimate in the house. After a few minutes, the heating system will adjust to the selected values ​​and will reproduce the heating of the room until the desired microclimate is obtained. In a similar way, the valve is configured for refrigeration units.

    About Danfoss regulators

    Why install a thermostat? To maintain a certain temperature in the premises.

    The product consists of two parts that complement each other:

    1. Thermostat.
    2. thermostatic valve.

    The Danfoss thermostatic valve is connected directly to the radiator, and the thermostat is already mounted on it.

    The main thing is a thermostatic element that detects temperature changes and sends a signal to the valve that blocks the flow of heat carrier.

    Inside the thermal head there is a bellows (a corrugated chamber that can change dimensions) with gas. Gas at certain temperature changes its state (it condenses when cooled). This affects the change in volume and pressure in the chamber, which becomes smaller and pulls the spool rod behind it, which in turn opens a gap in the valve for the circulation of the heat carrier.

    When heating occurs, the reverse expansion process starts and the gap is blocked (the standard is 2 V ° C above the specified temperature).

    When the optimal degree is set on the scale of the device, a certain compression of the tuning spring appears inside, which is associated with a specific gas pressure.

    Danfoss produces gas bellows and liquid bellows (more inert, slower to respond to temperature fluctuations).

    Types and symbols

    The abbreviations by which Danfoss heating thermostats are distinguished indicate the type of filler and the purpose of the device:

    • RTS is a liquid bellows;
    • RTD-G - gas powered, suitable for one- and two-pipe systems without a pump;
    • RTD-N is a gas device for one- and two-pipe pumping systems.

    Danfoss RTR/RTD service thermostatic element with built-in temperature sensor

    There are modifications that perform not only their main functions, but also many additional ones. For example, the option to protect against reconfiguration of set indicators. This is convenient when children are constantly in the room. The number of modes and variety of functions in each model is individual.

    Popular models of Danfoss thermostats

    The company's product range includes many different Danfoss battery thermostats. The following are popular:

    1. Regulator RTD marking 3640. It is used on 2-pipe heating systems. classical type. Equipped with an option that prevents the line from freezing in cold weather. The Danfoss RTD thermostat is used in domestic and industrial environments and has four divisions marked with Roman numerals.
    2. Designation RAX, as a rule, for products with liquid, which are used for mounting on unusual batteries or on heated towel rails. Outwardly very attractive and fit well into the design. The case has only divisions with Roman and Arabic numerals.
    3. The Danfoss RA-299 thermostat works on gas, has automatic temperature control, is produced in different colors. Quickly responds to temperature fluctuations. Used only for installation on classical systems heating.
    4. Living ECO has the option of room climate control. It is boldly installed in various administrative buildings and residential buildings. The product is distinguished by the presence of an LCD screen that displays all the necessary data on the thermal carrier. In addition, the case has the main buttons for the mode settings.
    5. There are also series with many functions, they are suitable for heated towel rails, and for different areas of equipment for heating. Can be right or left handed.

    Danfoss Living Connect thermostat

    All Danfoss thermostats for heating radiators come with parts that make it easy to mount the device and its future use.

    Installing a Danfoss thermal head

    The device is mounted precisely on the pipe of the hot water circuit. Installation does not imply anything complicated, even in the case of design options, installation takes place according to the same principle. The work is carried out in stages:

    1. A marking is made on the supply pipe to indicate the area that needs to be cut. It is worth considering the dimensions of the valve body. The threaded element is taken away, which will go directly into the pipe.
    2. The heating is turned off and the liquid descends to prevent a flood in the house.
    3. An extra section of the pipe is cut off according to the marks, and a die is threaded on the outer part of the cut.
    4. The joint is treated with a special paste for plumbing work (the manufacturer is not important).
    5. A valve is screwed onto the thread made by the die and tightly tightened with a washer. It is not necessary to additionally fix the connection for tightness. The actions performed are sufficient for a reliable joint.
    6. The fuse is removed, the maximum indicator “five” is set on the regulator, and a case with a scale is put on top.
    7. All joints are checked and the heating device is connected to the entire heating system.

    If the Danfoss thermostat was connected correctly, then there should be no problems. It is worth checking the operation of the device before the first opening and closing of the valve.

    Setting the thermostat

    All devices of the manufacturer differ externally and in terms of technical characteristics, however, they are still configured in the same way. To implement it, you need to look into the operating instructions and familiarize yourself with the designation of the modes that are indicated on the device case. Indicators may vary, it all depends on the model.

    Next, to adjust the Danfoss thermostat, set it to the required temperature. This can be done by moving the rotating element in a certain direction. If you have installed a device with buttons, all you need to do is press the "plus" or "minus" button.

    It is possible to specify intermediate values ​​when they are best suited to create a certain temperature regime in the room. It will take a couple of minutes, and the heating system will have time to adjust to the specified parameters and will heat until the optimal microclimate is obtained. There is also a setting for refrigeration equipment.

    The operation of the regulator in the underfloor heating system

    Danfoss underfloor heating thermostat - important thing for the entire heating system. The device has a responsible function for adjusting the temperature to a comfortable 25 ° C.

    Flow meters will not help if the pressure is unstable, the air is heated, for example, by the sun's rays, and residents seek to save on heating while they are not at home.

    Experts advise installing a mechanical regulator in small rooms of about 10 m².

    AT large rooms use Danfoss room thermostats with temperature sensors warm floor.

    The Danfoss thermostatic head deservedly has many positive feedback. This is an easy-to-use element that does not require special attention by the owner after installation and adjustment. As a result, the house provides favorable microclimate and, in some cases, significant cost savings.
