Abstract

A system for controlling the flow of fluid in a tube network, for example a central heating system, the network comprising a fluid forward tube and a fluid return tube, between which there are provided a number of parallel tube strings to constitute parallel fluid circuits,
- each string having a flow regulation valve for regulating the flow through the string,
- each valve having a flow gauge for measuring the flow through the valve,
- the system comprising a number of transmitters, wherein each of the flow gauges is connected to a transmitter and configured for transmission of measurement data from the transmitter, wherein the transmitter is configured for wireless transmission of the measured flow data together with a unique ID to a central computer for relating the received flow measurement to the corresponding valve,
- the central computer being configured for receiving the measured flow data from the transmitters through wireless transmission,
- wherein the central computer, preferably a handheld device, with a display for displaying data for control of the flow measurements and with a keypad for receiving user commands for the flow adjustment.
