Arrangement for controlling the loading of a stratified storage tank for a district heating consumer end, the stratified storage tank having a feed connection for supplying a heat transfer medium (W) and a return connection for returning the heat transfer medium (W), comprising: a first temperature sensor (TS1) which is designed to detect a first temperature (T23) of the heat transfer medium (W) at the feed connection , a second temperature sensor (TS2) which is designed to detect a second temperature (T24) of the heat transfer medium (W) at the return connection , control of the loading of the stratified storage tank , the control of the loading of the stratified storage tank being designed to take place on the basis of the detected first temperature (T23) and the detected second temperature (T24), with two further temperature sensors (TS3, TS4) being provided which are designed to detect two further temperatures of the heat transfer medium (W) in the stratified storage tank between the feed connection and the return connection , one further temperature sensor (TS4) being arranged closer to the return connection than the other further temperature sensor (TS3), which is arranged closer to the feed connection than the further temperature sensor (TS4), and the further temperatures also factoring into the control of the loading, characterized in that the arrangement is further designed to start the loading of the stratified storage tank with the heat transfer medium when one further temperature sensor (TS4) detects a temperature which falls below a predetermined lower limit temperature, and to terminate the loading when the other further temperature sensor (TS3) detects a temperature which exceeds a predetermined upper limit temperature. a first temperature sensor (TS1) which is designed to detect a first temperature (T23) of the heat transfer medium (W) at the feed connection , a second temperature sensor (TS2) which is designed to detect a second temperature (T24) of the heat transfer medium (W) at the return connection , control of the loading of the stratified storage tank , the control of the loading of the stratified storage tank being designed to take place on the basis of the detected first temperature (T23) and the detected second temperature (T24), with two further temperature sensors (TS3, TS4) being provided which are designed to detect two further temperatures of the heat transfer medium (W) in the stratified storage tank between the feed connection and the return connection , one further temperature sensor (TS4) being arranged closer to the return connection than the other further temperature sensor (TS3), which is arranged closer to the feed connection than the further temperature sensor (TS4), and the further temperatures also factoring into the control of the loading, characterized in that the arrangement is further designed to start the loading of the stratified storage tank with the heat transfer medium when one further temperature sensor (TS4) detects a temperature which falls below a predetermined lower limit temperature, and to terminate the loading when the other further temperature sensor (TS3) detects a temperature which exceeds a predetermined upper limit temperature. <EOS>
