Do you know it isnt matching demand, so far as I can see your IAT is staying constant which suggests it is. Edit - Oh - I see what you mean, can...
If the house is warm then its spending its time at min capacity because that's all the energy you need to keep LWT within the set bounds. Sure, cycl...
I completely agree with the last sentence, and have said so on this thread, but... (Almost) without doubt there are circumstances where setback saves ...
In short, the RWT. The emitter loss determines how much the water temperature falls during its passage through the emitters. The heat pump will (or ...
The demand, which is set by the emitters. The heat pump is a slave to the house, not the other way round!
Well for certain not running 24 hrs can be more expensive: Consider a house with very high thermal mass, so high that it barely responds to setbacks...
I have always assumed that they modulate continuously between max and min. Obviously you can only provide the engineering data at a limited number of...
Id be a bit careful with the interpretation of this. If the house only cools by 1C peak (ie an average of 0.5C) for 12 hrs when it's 0 outside then a...

There are arguments both ways on this and each has its following. Glycol has a higher viscosity and a lower heat capacity than water so may slightly ...
