RE: Balancing a low loss header/buffer tank on a Grant Aerona 2 13kw r32 system

OK got you. Thats how a buffer should, ideally, be run. I know of two basic techniques - 1. Adjust pump speeds (somehow) so the flow rates in an...

RE: Midea ASHP – how to set weather compensation

Adaptive, in this case, means a mode which adapts its behaviour, over a period of time (days), to the house (basically it learns about the house chara...

RE: Midea ASHP – how to set weather compensation

True, but that neither circumvents the thermodynamics not the comfort factors described above. That depends on the thermostat. If it is an exter...

RE: Balancing a low loss header/buffer tank on a Grant Aerona 2 13kw r32 system

Can you clarify what the problem is that you are trying to solve by balancing, whats the objective/currently 'broken'. As an aside (or perhaps not) s...

RE: Midea ASHP – how to set weather compensation

Weather compensation is really important for heat pumps and, correctly adjusted, will save you between 10-20% (or in some circumstances more) in runni...

RE: Ecodan help - flow temperature spikes when operating in weather compensation mode

That's reassuring. Hopefully it would have returned to space heating if there demand was there.

RE: In the Bleak Midwinter... Midea heat pump performance, poor COP and windchill in action

I agree with your conclusions and I agree with the above. If they try to argue its your system, you have a heat exchanger which they presumably insta...

RE: Ecodan help - flow temperature spikes when operating in weather compensation mode

Presumably it stops heating when the DHW reaches temperature, so if it only needs 30 mins then it will only take 30mins and then return to space heati...

RE: In the Bleak Midwinter... Midea heat pump performance, poor COP and windchill in action

The water pump manual tells us there are 3 pins, control, feedback and voltage reference ( presumably the return is via the case, ie ground) or if th...

RE: In the Bleak Midwinter... Midea heat pump performance, poor COP and windchill in action

I think you are right about multi-core, I just saw it in the manual. One of the cables appears to be the pwm cable. Im thinking narrowboats, whic...
