Abstract: In a method for the regulated transfer of heat from a primary steam network to a heat consumer, the supply flow of which is at a predetermined overpressure and the return flow of which is at a relatively lower pressure, the steam withdrawn from the steam network in accordance with the heat consumption on the part of the consumer is cooled down to the point of condensation by the withdrawal of heat by means of a secondary medium, while a predetermined overpressure relative to the supply pressure of the heat consumer is maintained. The overpressure in a jet pump is then reduced to the supply pressure of the heat consumer, generating a corresponding driving force for the supply flow, and secondary medium heated up in the course of the cooling down of the steam is mixed with the supply flow.

Abstract: In a method for the regulated transfer of heat from a primary steam network (010), the flow (04) of the heat consumer (2) is supplied at a predetermined excess pressure, while the return flow (02) is at a relatively lower pressure.
