Glow-worm believes that when it comes to heating the home efficiently, choosing the right controls is almost as important as choosing the right boiler; not only will the right control keep the home at the right temperature, but will also help to save money and preserve the environment through preventing unnecessary boiler activity.
Glow-worm's range of controls are specifically designed to work with Glow-worm appliances creating highly efficient heating systems and further home comfort. The Climastat, Climapro and Climapro RF are fully compatible for use with the Flexicom, Ultracom and Ultrapower sxi Ranges. (refer to the controls selector for required accessories).
Intelligent Room Control Explained
Intelligent room control is a simple method of controlling the flow temperature of water to the central heating system based on the temperature measured in the room. As the temperature in the room approaches the desired set point, the Climastat or Climapro begins to lower the flow temperature of water supplied to the central heating system (radiators). A lower flow temperature means that the boiler operates more efficiently in, or closer to the condensing mode. Energy costs are then reduced and a more stable and comfortable room temperature is achieved.
Weather Compensation Explained
Weather compensation measures the temperature outside the property and adjusts the flow temperature to the radiators accordingly. The colder the outdoor temperature, the hotter the flow temperature, and conversely the warmer the outdoor temperature the cooler the flow temperature will be. The effect is that the flow temperature adjusts the output of the radiators to meet the actual heat demand of the property. The lower flow temperature also ensures that the boiler operates more efficiently.
Note: When Glow-worm controls Climastat & Climapro/RF are used for as room (load) or weather compensators, an additional 2% can be added to the boiler SEDBUK value as used in the Code for sustainable homes.
