The Difference Setpoint Control 156 has two control points;
heat source and storage. The heat source could be a solar
collector or wood boiler while the heat storage is typically
a storage tank. The control is looking at the temperature
difference (ΔT) between the source and storage to determine
when to close the relay and start the heat transfer. The
setpoint operation that follows will explain the on and off
points of the relay.
