Are you using vaillant mixers for the floor? Or is there a pump for each floor zone? raise heat curve and shut down all the floor and see how the ra...
@webcmg is you need a higher curve for radiators than the floor…but more heat means more energy consumed. and the floor temps need to be mixed d...
Just to be clear heat curves has nothing to do with the type of heat generator..I have gas boilers with heat curves on UFH as low as 0.1
Again it will depend on control strategy if it’s compensated the getting a delta t of 5c may be impossible take a room temp of 19.5, a set point of...
@saf1973 with on -off controls it may be beneficial to change radiators, but with weather compensation controls with a compensation room unit y...
My understanding is this Balance for correct distribution of heat to radiators.heat pumps systems benefit from high flow rates so no need to look for ...
