Hi @clockworks Yes I sent you the charts which showed 3kw minimum output. I was very impressed when you managed to create the same hourly chart a...
Hi @clockworks. I was just suggesting the one hour MELCloud graph so it’s more detailed. I think @gary could see what I was driving at.... the actua...
Thanks for the description @clockworks, that gives a better picture of your setup. I’m not sure if I’m interpreting your graphs properly but it appe...
@clockworks The wireless controller will modulate the HP and reduce output as the HP approaches the target room temp- but only when in Auto Adapt m...
The first thing I have seen in your graphs is that opening the TRVs has allowed the emitters to offload more heat, making your home somewhat warmer. I...
@clockworks can you confirm is the 900w you refer to consumption or is it output? If it’s consumption then that’s about right… assuming a cop of 3 whi...
thanks @gary I’ve just also explained that at 30c flow temps the output is even lower esp when you deduct the 2,5c mid temp of the emitters. all th...
Hi @clockworks I’ve just noticed @gary and I sent crossing messages at same time. I don’t want to overload you with too much information. So I’ll...
In principle, most heat pumps are over sized at some point. This usually occurs at the lowest demand and lowest outdoor temperature when we still need...
Hi @clockworks perhaps a bit more background would help; what model HP is it the new R290 or the PUZ-WM60? (They have different minimum outputs) ...
That’s great to here…. im curious, If you’re putting a 2c drop on the flow temp what’s your room temperature drop at the end of the setback? (Of cou...
yes I’m already using weather compensation on our Mitsubishi but, as stated above, there isn’t a scheduled LWT setback option available. The trial I h...
