27 Function block DRT and maximum limitation of the return temperature 

27.05.2004 

27.4  Maximum limitation of the temperature dif-

ferential (DRT function)  

27.4.1  Mode of operation 

  

With all types of plant (with the exception of 0–x), the temperature differential (DRT, 
differential of primary and secondary return temperature) can be limited to a maximum. 
Precondition is that the required sensor B71 is fitted in the secondary return of the 
heating circuit.  
If the differential of the 2 return temperatures exceeds the adjusted maximum limit 
value, 2-port valve Y1 in the primary circuit will be throttled.  

27.4.2 Purpose 

 

Maximum limitation of the temperature differential generally ensures that a smaller 
amount of heat will be drawn from the network or that the volumetric flow will be throt-
tled when heat is demanded for the first time in the morning when the pipes have not 
yet reached their normal operating temperature (prevention of idle heat and no unnec-
essary supply of heat back to the network).  
In addition, maximum limitation of the temperature differential  

• 

acts as a dynamic limitation of the return temperature  

• 

shaves peak loads

The temperature differential of the return is usually 2…5 °C and depends on the type of 
heat exchanger. Maximum limitation of the temperature differential can be deactivated 
on operating line 179 (entry of --.-).  
Maximum limitation of the return temperature differential has priority over minimum 
limitation of the flow temperature in the heating circuit.  
During d.h.w. heating cycles, maximum limitation of the temperature differential is deac-
tivated with all types of plant.
