How to save on heating without losing comfort?
Usually, the installation of home weather heating regulators causes complaints from some residents. The reason is that when the controller reduces the heat flow, the first radiators remain at approximately the same temperature, while the last ones become noticeably cooler.
This issue can be partially solved by installing powerful circulating pumps, but this entails additional costs for power supply and maintenance/repair.
The problem of fair distribution of heat along the riser is completely solved by reverse flow, i.e. periodic, every few hours, change of heat flow direction. In such case the first and the last radiators become warmer, while the radiators in the middle remain at constant temperature.
The combination of weather regulator with reverse flow allows to save more, because you can reduce heat consumption throughout the house, not at the expense of some apartments.

Periodic (once every few hours) change of heat transfer direction in the heating system of the multistory building allows to distribute heat more evenly over the floors. The uniformity of the distribution also means additional savings, as the apartments, which were closer to the heat supply, cease to overheat.
The reverse heat transfer has several significant advantages over an individual heating system (IHS). Namely:
1. Price. IHS is several times more expensive.
2. More uniform heating distribution throughout the building. In IHS, it is impossible to make the supply and return temperatures equal, the reverse ensures this.
3. Maintenance. The reverse does not require it, while IHS does.
4. Energy ibndependance. It is difficult to reserve powerful IHS pumps, while reverse valve actuators consume so little that a computer uninterruptible power supply is enough for them.
