Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a heating apparatus for heating water for space heating, comprising at least two substantially identical heating units which each comprise a heat source and at least one heat exchanger thermally coupled to the heat source, wherein the heating units are divided into a first group for space heating and into a second group for tap water heating, and that the heating apparatus comprises a regulating device for simultaneously regulating the temperature of the heating units of the first group and the temperature of the heating units of the second group independently of each other. As a result of these measures the advantages of a modular construction are retained, while the advantages of a combined apparatus, such as a smaller and a cheaper apparatus, are also retained. It is pointed out here that heating apparatuses for heating tap water and for heating water for the purpose of space heating are of course per se known. Simultaneously heating water to different temperatures for the purpose of tap water and space heating is however not possible herewith. <IMAGE>
