Ah, if some rooms are too cold then that needs to be fixed by either increasing emitter size, or improving insulation in that room.
I always assumed it was marginally more efficient, and hence it requires considerably smaller charge volumes, but I’m no refrigeration engineer. To ...
It’s a real shame that the physics of gas compression mean that they don’t have a wider modulation ratio.
R410a here, does a grand job… although it’s quite a charge at 1.6kgs for a 9kW unit….
