METHOD FOR LIMITING A SUPPLY FLOW IN A HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for limiting a supply flow in a heat transfer system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing the heat transfer system such that the heat transfer system comprises;
a supply conduit with a supply flow and a supply entry temperature; and
at least one load circuit with a load pump which provides a load flow with a load entry temperature and a load exit temperature;
setting the load entry temperature by changing the supply flow; and
limiting the supply flow to a maximal flow while taking into account at least one temperature detected in the load circuit.

Abstract
A method for limiting a supply flow (qS) in a heat transfer system which includes a supply conduit (10) with a supply flow (qS) and with a supply entry temperature (TS), and at least one load circuit (2) with a load pump (20) which provides a load flow (qL) with a load entry temperature (TL) and a load exit temperature (TR). The load entry temperature (TL) is set by way of changing the supply flow (qS), wherein the supply flow (qS) is limited to a maximal flow (qS, max), taking into account at least one temperature detected in the load circuit (2). A heat transfer system, in which this method is realized, is also provided.
