Careful project engineering, especially for new buildings, should permit even lower external pressure losses than specified by the Muster-Leistungsverzeichnis der Deutschen Bundespost [1]. - Return temperature of 36°C throughout the year, eventually 40°C This operating mode can be implemented by simple modification of the DDC programs.
