I still am not sure you get the point of volumiser tanks. They add water volume to the system. They don't need power. Grant and others take the op...
Are you saying your design flow temperature (at the lowest oat) for the ashp system is 55C? Fans on fancoils do run constantly, but with a decent...
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...
They will run without a fan but output is then less than a radiator of same size. I thought you were struggling to fit a passive radiator in hence w...
Could a fan coil be suitable. I had a similar problem which was solved with a fan coil.
Ok that's clearer. It's a pity about the manifold pumps, they effectively stop the ashp having the control it needs to make sure everything works pr...
Thanks, thats helpful. There seems to be a circular path around the upper volumiser, is this correct (it could be, perhaps the upper heat pump is the...
Only to the extent that the heat has been produced at a lower COP than your space heating. But as you are probably talking 1-2kWh max per day, who ca...

This is indeed ambiguous!. One would expect, since this is in a section called 'room influence' that it means ambient in, but it is unclear. the ba...
