This is part of the Grant's 'frost protection' system (as opposed to the 'defrost cycle' which we're all familiar with in this type of weather!), whic...
Same to you. Thanks for providing this forum for people to learn from and to teach each other. Here's to a higher COP and a lower energy bill in 2024!
@heat_help Hi. You seem to be saying "flow rate" at some points and "flow temperature" at others? As you probably know, the flow rate on a Grant is fi...
