@heacol Thanks, mate.
@robs Thanks for this. The statement about 8C was not mine. It came from a Brendon quote. The flow rate shown is the current one. Are you saying that...
@heacol I am sorry that this provoked such a reaction. Misinformation applies to me as well so I did warn you. I never made any definitive statements...
@jamespa @heacol Beware disinformation on this forum. I took some time out to verify the statement made about all the top performing heat pumps on...
@jamespa For the sake of clarity, in my previous response I ignored the house heat requirement at 15C OAT for a 10kW load at design temperature. The ...

@jamespa You should best address this question to Brendon. I would also be keen for more clarification as it is fairly fundamental. I am not an insta...
@jamespa For a fixed pump in question on open loop, dT could be <2C at 15C. Below is another view on the topic with which I concur.
