	RE: Mitsubishi cycling while on chilled water output By downfield, 1 hour ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Here's a link to the Strada brochure. You'll see that the rads are designed to perform both heating and cooling using the same connections. Because the emitter is essentially horizontal connections ...
	RE: Commencing on an ASHP Installation Process By Sheriff Fatman, 1 hour ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	A few initial thoughts on Havenwise, from a new end-user perspective: Signing up to Havenwise was something I'd always had in mind once the system was installed. Compared to the hard-installed 3rd pa...
	RE: Mitsubishi cycling while on chilled water output By ASHP-BOBBA, 2 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Your emitters will be less than 50% efficient, radiators are emitters not absorbers, cooling is absorbing heat not emitting cooling in reverse (so to speak) the surface of the rad becomes a chilled su...

	@downfield I thought I'd quiz ChatGPT about this and answer is as follows (specifically point 3): Yes, you should plumb a domestic fan coil radiator differently if you plan to use it for cooling (in a...

	@downfield With a car radiator the hot water from the engine is piped to the top of the radiator and the cooled water is drawn off from the bottom. The height of the radiator typ. 45 cm so inlet is ap...

	@downfield I don't know how your fan coils are plumbed in but all the conventional radiators I've come across are connected to flow and return at the bottom of the radiator which i assume helps with h...
	RE: Mitsubishi cycling while on chilled water output By JamesPa, 9 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Yes, but hopefully only for a few days of the year. If you wanted cooling more frequently I would be concerned about the effect of the cycling on compressor lifetime in which case you might want to c...
	RE: Mitsubishi cycling while on chilled water output By downfield, 11 hours ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	@judith not power consumption just the overall efficiency of operation and wear and tear which I imagine is bad for the HP? At the moment power is from solar panels - although I can export surplus so ...
