I honestly dont know. Mitsubishi seem to have a fairly similar modulation ratio, but those pumps are, I think, also constant flow (like Vaillant the ...
Really - thats terrible. If it cant be changed in the UI its a very good argument not to buy a Samsung Gen 6 heat pump!
Sensible. After you have done that perhaps consider what is triggering reheat. It looks like its DHW tank temperature alone not a timer plus DHW t...
Unfortunately the UK is a small market, we are essentially reliant on the EU (where of course we no longer have a seat) to implement the manufacturing...
It looks like Eco mode may have tamed the DHW curve a bit (see below), but a COP of .87 is less than 1 and you would be better off heating on the imme...
Indeed. Its weird at first but you get used to it and actually it is more comfortable because the temperature gradients are less. There is a school...
So I have been thinking about this and trying to rationalise it with three other things namely (a) the Carnot equation which means that COP reduces ...
This sounds like a problem that might be fixed, or certainly improved, with a bit of optimisation of the set up if you are prepared to provide some mo...
