RE: Ecodan - is there actually such a thing as a 'minimum' flow temp to avoid cycling, and why if so?

... 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...

RE: Hitachi Yutaki SCombi Heat Pump - Thermal Off's

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...

RE: Hitachi Yutaki SCombi Heat Pump - Thermal Off's

Where does the heat during the 5 min period go, to the evaporator to de-ice or to the heating system (which makes no sense). Is the water pump runnin...

RE: Newbie: utterly confused with my Mitsubishi Zubadan air source heat pump running on 55C set flow temperature

It might actually account for more defrosts because the compressor is working harder. On the positive side it should cycle less at mild temperatures!...
