Slight side track, but I am inclined to think that with heat pumps we should avoid the word and concept of efficiency, because the idea of something t...
@jamespa - thanks. It looks like the larger version will just fit where the old radiator was, and the max output at heat pump flow temps is 2.11kW, mo...
@jamespa - I'm not convinced the valve is jammed shut (the pin has the expected spring resistance), more that it is blocked, the idea being that rattl...
They are not very clever, are they! I think that is reading 28, partly because I can cross check mine against the Midea controller's reported flow rat...
Your requirements (an effective and as efficient as possible heating system) are entirely reasonable, and that is what your supplier has contracted to...
It did get warmer, but never as warm as the other radiators. I agree the evidence points to a partial restriction, significant enough to reduce flow i...
And @cathyem1 - those images - thanks - confirm it is. The listed parameters are identical to the ones I have on my Midea badged wired controller. I...
Moves freely but definitely against a spring with increasing resistance as it is pushed down, not flapping in the breeze freely.
Yes they are in a concrete floor. I think they were covered in Denso tape for corrosion protection, not sure about insulation. It was a long time ago....
There are lots of temperatures! The key space heating ones are outside air temperature (as seen on the display, by the house icon), leaving water temp...
@cathyem1 - do you happen to know if Baxi is a Midea clone? The reason I ask is the first photo of your wired controller looks very like a Midea contr...
