@crimson good morning. Lots of people here want this one fixed for you! What's the approximate length of buried pipework on the primary circuit under ...
Hi @crimson, sure. The formula is the sensible heat equation, to work out how much heat energy in kJ/s is being added. 9 is your flow rate as indica...
@crimson great stuff. The delta T between flow and return is high, especially when your ASHP is on low load, 1300W power consumption, that's about 1/3...

@crimson - is that flow rate photo taken with the ASHP running? It's showing a flow rate about 9 litres/minute. If so, that's way below Grant's minimu...
Most Grant Aerona ASHPs work on a DT of 5degC, they will push up to 8degC, but seem happiest with a low DT. If you are in the habit of turning the hea...
