I'm sorry but I don't understand your maths. If you need 2.4-3kW output then you will need a radiator rated for about 6kW at 50C DT. That's a very bi...
I think that's very likely. Thus if you set all external controls to be permanently on you should be able to optimise the wc curve to the lowest poss...
Please post back on how you get on. You need to give some thought to those ufh loops, they can't be allowed to suck energy out during dhw cycle. Re...
