Abstract

A control circuit for controlling the fan or circulating pump in a solar-thermal heating system to prevent unnecessary pump or fan switching when short-term interruptions occur in the insolation of the solar panels includes a temperature-sensitive time-delay element tailored to have thermal response characteristics corresponding to those of the solar panels in the system.
