Aren't you potentially confusing two things here. OP could of course increase rad size/ volume and reduce ft but that won't change the minimum output...
It can't once it has got to minimum frequency. If it isn't already at mine frequency then I agree. That would overheat the house. If house ...
@heatgeek here is the Farnborough Daikin on 7th April. A steady 7+kW when heating hot water and then a steady 1.6kW when it returns to space heating....

which (a) is, I suspect, the outcome he wants (because he doesn't want to bother training up) and (b) may well be at least in part true because of...
After I wrote my initial comment I guessed that might be the case! Turning down the flow might reduce the peak power output but I cant see how it...
... which presumably will reduce the cycling frequency but not materially change the on/off ratio (which is determined by the ratio of demand to minim...
Sorry I cant help further. Knowing when the various components (compressor, fan, EEV, water pump) change state might illuminate the matter, but other...
Cycling will occur if the heat demand (measured in kW) from the house is less than the minimum output of the heat pump (also measured in kW), which is...
I cant immediately see you are misreading - although I cant be sure, I can only try to deduce, which lines correspond to which scales. Im presuming y...
