@jamespa Yes, you are right, I was misreading the diagram. ☹ The main point that I was trying to make, however, is that the heat has to be carr...
@jamespa Apologies. My last post was made before I read your response. The answer is in your own diagram. Resultant internal DT is points 3 to 4 ...
@declan90 Answer is, yes. Power set for a rad is the Flow x DT x SH-of-Water. So if you adjust the flow down, you will have to adjust DT upwards to ...

@jamespa Hi. Information as requested. 1. Samsung Split Gen 4 with Grundfos UPM3 PWM pump integrated in the internal unit with PHE, running for 10...
