Electronic controllers for weather compensation
Danfoss is proud to introduce the seventh generation of electronic controllers for district heating.Based on the success and benefits of previous generations, the Danfoss electronic controllers for weather compensation, ECL Comfort 210 and 310, will ensure comfort and convenience for heating, cooling and domestic hot water systems.
Weather compensation in heating systems
The optimum heat supply to a building is when the demand is met and nothing is in excess. An intelligent electronic controller for weather compensation in the heating system can pro-actively adjust the supply of heat to keep it at exactly that point by detecting changes in the weather conditions outside. In reverse, a heating system without a weather compensator will only react on the current indoor temperature, and thus be prone to be in delay when changes occur outside. This negatively affects both user comfort and energy efficiency.



How does it work?
The weather compensator gets its signal from an outdoor temperature sensor placed on the shadow side of the building. The sensor registers the actual temperature and the electronic controller adjusts, if necessary, the heat supply (flow temperature) to reflect the new conditions. The controller will also adjust the heat supply to the radiators and ensure that room temperatures are kept constant. The user will thereby not even notice that the weather has changed outside and experience the same temperature and comfort at all times.10 – 40 % energy savings with electronic weather compensation
By letting the flow temperature in the heating system reflect outside temperatures, the user will not only experience increased comfort, but also smaller heat bills. In a recently published COWI report, the advantages of weather compensation are sound and clear:In one-family houses, the expected energy saving is on average 10% and in some cases up to 40%! Especially in one-family houses with a large consumption of heat, a weather compensator is an investment, which quickly pays back.Electronic controllers featuring weather compensation are a natural part of modern heating systems and will optimize comfort while saving energy. Whether the sun is shining or the snow is falling, Danfoss ECL Comfort 210 & 310 controllers will ensure a heating system which operates optimally and keeps the user's surroundings comfortable
