@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 ...
