It's the initial precipitous fall in LWT that I'm curious about, blue arrow points to it here: The rest of the decline over time is what I would ...
This is why I mentioned epidemiological observational studies, you have no control over the variables whatsoever. The main way you deal with that nowa...
@bontwoody - thanks for the replies. Inline probes should be accurate, but at the same time such a precipitous drop seems most unlikely, given the...

I think there is at least one thing that isn't right in that chart, the sudden precipitous drop in flow temp when the heat pump turns off. That doesn'...
@iwolf - on my installation there are two flexible connectors connecting the heat pump flow and return to the fixed pipework where it passes through t...
It does correlate well already, at least the OAT/energy out are well correlated, that's the basis of the empirical method of determining heat loss. It...
@paul436 - thanks, that would appear to confirm what i thought.
Not sure, but I think that may be the inline filter by the heat pump is blocked. Mine has a quarter turn valve to close of the pipework, and then you ...
