Temperature sensor heating system

In a heating system, there are various temperature sensors whose task is to provide signals to the heating and hot water control system. A sensor has a limited lifetime and it is therefore important to have regular checks of the sensors in the system so that you do not burn for the crows.

A temperature sensor has a major impact on function, comfort and energy consumption and some simple checks are to ensure that the sensors are correctly positioned, that the sensors are securely attached and that there are no cable breaks. 

Another way to check a temperature sensor is to periodically check that the temperatures in the controller and the temperatures outside the system match.

Here are some temperature sensors to keep an eye on.

• Outdoor sensor - this sensor should be placed on the north side of the property if possible to avoid the sensor being affected by solar radiation.
• Flow sensor - if the sensor does not work or is misplaced, the cost increases. An increase of 3 degrees on the supply line will increase the indoor temperature by 1 degree. This increases the cost up to 8 % on an annual basis!
• Return sensor - measures the return temperature from the heating system and shows how good the cooling is in the system. Do you know if you have to pay a penalty to the district heating supplier if the return temperature is too high?
