Control device for a heating system and heating system
First Claim
1. A control device for controlling a heating system, the control device comprising:
- at least one first heat exchanger disposed in a first room of a building, and at least one second heat exchanger disposed in a second room of a building, and an active heat input capable of being in communication with the at least one first heat exchanger and the at least one second heat exchanger,at least one first temperature sensor associated with the first heat exchanger and measuring a temperature in the first room,at least one second temperature sensor associated with the second heat exchanger and measuring a temperature in the second room,an electronic control station which automatically initiates a temperature compensation by recirculating a fluid medium to be used for heat exchange depending on the temperatures measured by the first and the second temperature sensors, wherein an at least partial exchange of the fluid medium takes place between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger; and
wherein the electronic control station is implemented so that it produces a closed partial circuit only between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, wherein the first heat exchanger is connected in series to the second heat exchanger, for circulating the fluid medium carried in the first and the second heat exchangers only between the first and the second heat exchangers and remains cut off from the remaining fluid medium and from the active heat input;
wherein the fluid medium, in the closed circuit between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, is alternately passing through the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger.

Abstract
A control device for controlling a heating system having a first heat exchanger disposed in a first part of a building, and second heat exchanger disposed in a second part of a building, the control device comprising: a first temperature sensor associated with the first heat exchanger and measuring a temperature in the first part of the building, a second temperature sensor associated with the second heat exchanger and measuring a temperature in the second part of the building. The control device includes a control station by which a temperature compensation can be initiated by recirculating a fluid medium to be used for heat exchange as a function of the temperatures (T1, T2) measured by the first and the second temperature sensor and at least partial exchange of the fluid medium takes place between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger.
