@derek-m Understood! I've been thinking about the problem of assessing quantitatively the effect of on/off heating (eg when you switch it off ...
With an OAT of 5C which is what the graphs say you have, you would indeed expect that or better. Remember that cycling occurs when the heat pump cant...
I find that with weather forecasts you need to be careful how you 'read' them. For example a '30% probability of rain' could be because you are edge ...

There are various online calculators for flow and pressure. Temperature loss in pipes should be either negligible or within the insulated envelope o...
Personally I both play with models (railways) and work with them. Experiment and theory complement each other. and modelling is not a modern obsessi...
Yes but this reduces the remaining voltage (pump head) available not the current (flow). And friction losses don't cause a temperature drop they cau...
Sorry but the analogy doesn't work. Pipes convey heat from one end to another according to your equation, they don't dissipate it according to this e...
In the analogy you are trying to draw, the voltage is the pump head (pressure) not the water temperature. The flow rate is the current and the impeda...
If you haven't already you might want to re-read my earlier post which has a link to a worked example of spatial zoning and draws some analogies betw...
