@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, I hesitate to state it, but it seems like your plumbers are clueless. You need a fresh pair of eyes on the job as there's something seriousl...

Hi @crimson, the flow rate is constant for Grant systems, as they have a fixed speed pump in the ASHP. If your primary flow rate is 9l/min, and the fl...
@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...
Psychrometric trickery this week. It's cold outside, but low relative humidity. The sort of 'dry cold weather' that Scandinavia routinely gets, and wh...
