@prjohn thank you. That's 214 w/m2. As a note we were 244 w/m2, so about 10% higher than yourself in terms of heat demand per m2. I'm sure there a r...
@prjohn what's your floor space area you are heating? Would be good to understand your w/m2 to put the 24kW figure into context

@derek-m yes but that data came from the manufacturer about their performance based on lab testing. I can imagine in the real world the system is simp...
