Abstract

A hydronic system (HS) that comprises at least one hydronic circuit (HC) and a control (CT) for controlling the operation of said at least one hydronic circuit (HC) via a control path (CP), whereby said control (CT) comprises a feed forward controller (FFC). Operation of the system is improved by the hydronic system (HS) further comprising a control improvement path (CIP) running from the at least one hydronic circuit (HC) to the control (CT). Due to the control improvement path (CIP), the control (CT) can be improved in the case of the hydronic system (HS) becoming instable and/or showing poor system control.
