automatic water temperature adjustment device

automatic water temperature adjustment device means a device that

• (a) adjusts the temperature of the water supplied by a boiler to ensure that an incremental change in inferred heat load produces a corresponding incremental change in the temperature of the water supplied or, if the boiler fires at a single input rate, automatically allows the burner or heating element to fire only when the device has determined that the inferred heat load cannot be met by the residual heat of the water in the system; and

• (b) when there is no inferred heat load, limits the water temperature in the boiler to not more than 60°C. (dispositif automatique de réglage de la température de l’eau)
