Control of mixing valve
9.6.1 General
The thermal output of mixing valve control can be reduced by functions of a higher
priority (e.g. limitation of the return temperature) or by functions of other plant (boiler,
DHW heating) via load control.
The following mixing valve settings are valid for both 3-position and DC 0…10 V actua-
tors.

For more detailed information about mixing valve control and its settings, refer to
chapter 5 “General functions, fundamentals”.
By using the locking signal gain, it is possible to predefine how intensely the primary
controller shall respond to load control signals.
9.6.2 Load
control
The primary controller can be influenced by load control signals of a heat source.
A load reduction can be triggered by one of the following functions:
•
Protective boiler startup
•
Minimum limitation of the boiler return temperature
The primary controller does not respond to locking signals triggered by DHW heating.
Load increase can be brought about in the form of pump or mixing valve overrun. In
that case, it is only a maintenance of load.
9.7
Setpoint boost mixing valve and system
pump
Typically, a mixing valve operates with a setpoint boost, enabling it to compensate for
boiler temperature fluctuations.
With system pumps, this setpoint boost is not a basic requirement for compensating
boiler temperature variations. However, in the case of long pipe distances between
boiler and consumers, heat losses can occur, depending on the quality of pipe lagging,
so that setpoint boost can be desirable in these situations also.
