  • the threshold value can thus be used to determine when activation takes place, with parameters such as a length of a line section downstream of the water line intermediate piece, in which, for example, heat is released from the water to the environment, up to a water outlet, being taken into account.
  • a temperature and a volume flow of a hot water line can be measured and that from the temperature and the volume flow of the hot water line, in particular and additionally from the temperature and the volume flow of the cold water line, a mixed temperature can be calculated with a computing unit and with comparable to a threshold value, for example the one already mentioned.
