CONTROLS

This is the area that separates Ramki Heating from the rest. The 30 years experience helps us to create a reliable and efficient system, by using a suitable combination of controls.
Controls are the most important part of any central heating system. A central heating system is only as good as its controls, the better the controls, the less wear and tear on the boiler and system.
The right controls can create the right living environment. To be able to control both water and room temperature, will make the home feel a great deal more comfortable.

Programmer
Programmer will switch one, two or even three different circuits on or off at different times or even on different days. Most programmers have integral switches to set them up to your own personal preferences, for example, to have the hot water and heating to come on separately at a different time each day of the week. A programmer should be set to cover all the times that the property is occupied. A signal is sent out to the cylinder and room thermostats and these will keep everything at the desired temperatures.

Cylinder Thermostat
A cylinder thermostat is attached to the side of the cylinder to control the water temperature, this should be set to about 55-60 deg °C. When the water is demanded, the thermostat will turn the boiler on and off to keep the water at the set temperature.

Room Thermostat
All central heating systems should have a room stat fitted, this will shut the heating circuit on and off to maintain the room at the desired temperature.
Since April 2002 it is mandatory as part of the building regulations that all new and updated systems have a room thermostat fitted.
Note the radiator must not have a TRV fitted in the same room as this can stop the Room thermostat working correctly.

Programmable Room Thermostat
This can program different temperatures for different times of the day and night.

Frost Thermostat
The purpose of this is to stop the boiler or exposed parts of the system freezing in winter. This is the same as a room thermostat except it works at lower temperatures and ignores all other timers and thermostats.

Thermostatic Radiator Valves
TRV's are fit on the radiator in place of the existing valve, inside the valve is a wax capsule which expands when heated and stops the flow of water to the radiator. As the wax cools it contracts and lets the water from the boiler flow into the radiator.

Motorized Valves
Motorized Valves control the flow of water through the system, they open and close depending on the demand sent from the thermostats. Using both motorized valves and thermostats, we can create many zones around the home. Heating separate areas of the house at different times of the day, would make a much more efficient system and save you money on gas bills.

Diverter Valves
these can only control 2 zones, usually the water and the heating. You would find this system in most houses.
