SmartLink

The smart cascade control module for your T-Control 7“ system

With the cascade control SmartLink allows your Herz systems to operate at the optimal operating point.

In cooperation with the Technology and Research Center BEST – Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH, a development project was implemented to enhance the comfort of Herz biomass systems. The SmartLink cascade control module, integrated as standard, enables your Herz systems to operate more efficiently and optimally adapt to consumer behavior. In addition to increasing comfort when heating with wood, it also improves the overall efficiency of the cascaded systems.

The major advantages:

  • No hardware modifications required
  • The system learns the consumer behavior and can therefore be controlled more efficiently.
  • Smart switching on and off, so that the buffer tank is less likely to become too cold or too hot.
  • Intelligent load distribution: 1 control boiler & 1 or more base-load boilers
  • Quieter operation through division into control boilers (faster) and base-load boilers (slower)
  • Intelligent utilization of the systems and increased overall efficiency: if two systems are running at partial load, one system is switched off
  • Operation at the optimal operating point thanks to demand forecasting
  • Continuous heat availability through consumption estimation via temperature sensors (taking weather forecasts into account)
