Coming back to the calculations, this may well be the case. If we assume the heat loss is linear, ranging from 12.3kW at -2 ambient, and dropping to z...
Yes! But I'll come back to that if I may. Answers to the questions in your next and post: Continuously, as long as the room stat is calling for he...

@editor - useful images. Using my rather more basic IR thermometer I continue to have a roughly 5 degree difference between the top and bottom of most...
