We have been living in a mid-terrace house for a few years with an oil heating system (including domestic hot water). I adjusted the heating curve according to our comfort during the first winter and have been trying to optimize it further over the following years. Since oil has become quite expensive now, I wanted to take a more ambitious approach.
The previous owners set a heating curve for the boiler circuit and one for the mixer. The mixer was always a few degrees cooler than the boiler, and I have kept it that way.
However, from my point of view, we only have one heating circuit. The mixer is located immediately after the oil boiler. The mixer has two "inlets" (from the burner and the return flow) and two outlets (to the burner and to the heating circuit). Now I’m wondering if it makes sense to keep the boiler running at a higher temperature than the mixer’s mixing temperature? Would the heating curve of the mixer alone possibly be sufficient? Or would the boiler then shut down completely?
The heating system is an Elco Klöckner with a LOGON M controller.
Thank you very much for your help.
