Abstract:
1. A method for regulating the temperature (T) of mixed water supplied from separate cold and hot water intakes to bring the mixed water to, and thereafter maintain the mixed water at, a desired mixed water temperature (T s ), wherein at the start of the water intake, the regulating system is adjusted so that the cold water intake is shut off and the hot water intake is completely opened, and that during the water intake, when the temperature of the hot water supplied from the hot water intake exceeds the desired mixed water temperature (T s ) at which the mixed water is to be maintained, the mixed water temperature (T) is regulated such that the quantity of inflowing water is decreased and the cold water intake is partially increased and that on reaching the desired temperature (T s ) in the mixed water, the quantities of the two incoming partial streams are kept constant, wherein when the temperature falls below the set desired temperature (T s ) in the mixed water, the intake of cold and hot water (K, W) is stopped and the regulating process is then started anew under initial conditions i.e, with maximum hot water intake and shut-off cold water intake.
