As the temperature outside increases, the compensator sends a signal to a motorised valve, which lowers the hot water flow temperature which in turn reduces system heat output. When the temperature outside drops, the flow temperate is increased accordingly. More complex compensators are available that also take account of wind chill and solar gain. In practice, the compensator is usually combined with the optimiser in a single unit.’
