drifttemperatur

Drifttemperatur is a Swedish term used to describe the lower of the two temperatures on modern thermostats, typically marked as "min" and "max" or "+°" and "-°". The lower temperature is usually the minimum at which the heating will kick in, and it defines the lower bound of the thermostat's operating range.

In modern heating systems, drifttemperatur is typically set to around 20°C (68°F), although this can vary depending on the specific system and the preferences of the building's occupants. The idea behind this temperature is to ensure that the heating system will not activate unless the actual temperature has fallen below the set minimum.

A thermostat with a higher drifttemperatur will activate the heating at a higher temperature, while a lower drifttemperatur will ensure that the heating activates at a lower temperature. This can be important for buildings that have a high level of insulation or other heat-retaining features, as it ensures that the heating system will not waste energy by constantly activating and deactivating.

Drifttemperatur is a crucial parameter in modern heating systems, as it allows for precise control over the temperature and helps to optimize energy consumption. Understanding and setting the drifttemperatur correctly can help to reduce energy bills and ensure a comfortable and consistent indoor climate.671.
