Lower pump speed = less flow = lower heat transfer. Speed 2 - 20lps at DT5 = 7kW Speed 4 - 30lps at DT5 = 10.5kW Also the ASHPO will have minimu...
Unfortunately it seems to be oversized. I can answer to you points as follows: 1) I would not recommend this unless you are sure you will check that...
@jamespa Yes, it is a balance of transfer using all components of the system so the flow, curve, plate exchange, expansion control and evaporator fan ...
