The other important point about wc is that the controller gets the signal to change what it is doing at the same time as the principal driving factor (OAT) changes. This means that it changes in time... | ||

I think this is only part of the key information on this topic that is missing from the video conversation - I can only see this working in a system that is well balanced such that other rooms are abl... | ||

Surely you can 'correct' a mildly oversized rad by turning down the lsv during the balancing process? Certainly that's what I did with my installation. Obviously not ideal but, given the scatter in ... | ||
