@pooneil I have a Gen 4 Samsung. The setting on mine is 25C @ 15C. 25C is the lowest base temperature and the flow at 16C or 17C will still be at 25C....
@pooneil It sounds like the settings are all over the place and you are maybe misunderstanding some things. Let’s get back to basics at the risk of te...
@bontwoody If you look at the diagram, at 19.00 when power is over 3kW, the DT is 5C. If you look around 11.00 when power is ~2kW, then DT is 3C. In b...
@bontwoody Your Samsung Gen 6 has interesting behaviour which is different to the stereotypical belief. It boosts output at the beginning of the cycle...
@bontwoody Interesting. Thanks. This explains your steady DT control.
@bontwoody I understood that the Samsung Gen 6 does not have PWM pump control so your system is not a simple, straight-forward installation. You have ...
@bontwoody I have been looking at your graphs on emoncms. Could you explain how you are controlling the water pump? It seems to be running at a consta...
@heacol OK, so you are arguing that TO MAINTAIN AVERAGE TEMPERATURE of the radiator, the flow temperature can be reduced with reduced DT. That figures...
@heacol To clarify, by flow temperature I mean the temperature of water leaving the HP, not the average flow temperature determined by the DT.
@heacol Sorry, screwed this up. Misread your response. Reducing DT will require an INCREASE in flow, not temperature. A fixed flow temperature will in...
Sorry, but you have lost me here. Reducing DT requires a reduction in flow, not temperature surely. Assuming a fixed flow temperature, increase in DT ...
@dak51 I also would be very interested in your experience. I have read your initial posts on the subject from 3 years ago. I have a self-built, well-i...
