ᐅ Heat Pump Energy Consumption in 2019 on a Monthly Basis

I initially set all valves to the highest setting and later, once everything was working properly, switched all circuits in the heating manifold to manual open.

Set all ERR settings to 5 and deactivate or remove them later. To prevent overheating, you also need to lower the heating curve at the same time.

To achieve the desired temperature in each room, you must either open or throttle the circuits at the manifold. Open them more than you throttle to ensure sufficient flow. Look up “thermal balancing” or “hydraulic balancing” online. It takes about 2-3 weeks for everything to be properly adjusted. Now is the right weather to make these adjustments. This process will also show how well the heating surfaces were planned.

For example, I have not yet carried out the hydraulic balancing; it was calculated and adjusted by Schwörerhaus. But this refers to the flow rate at the manifold, correct?

Thank you! I have been reading nothing else for two days, but much of it is very theoretical.

For an unused child’s room or bedroom, do you reduce the flow a bit directly at the heating manifold? Should all other rooms except the bathroom be set to the same temperature?

Can I leave Sanibel actuators manually open permanently, so that the electricity consumption is eliminated?

Heat unused rooms or corridors slightly; otherwise, the supply temperature for the adjacent rooms needs to be higher, which we want to avoid.

Keep the other rooms as warm as possible. It depends on the design of the underfloor heating system, which we do not know. Often, the heating surface in the bathroom is too small and it is also supposed to be especially warm there. In that case, you have to reduce the flow in all other rooms and increase the supply temperature only for the bathroom, or live with 1-2 degrees less in the bathroom. When balancing the system, you will notice in which rooms the underfloor heating is properly sized.

Important: reduce small heating circuits relatively strongly. It also helps to measure the return temperatures with a simple IR thermometer and adjust accordingly.

It is particularly inefficient to want to heat small rooms to a very high temperature, which requires a high flow temperature to be set, while the other rooms are throttled by the ERR because they are supposed to remain cooler. The heat pump becomes less efficient due to the higher flow temperature, and the heating pump works against closed valves. Not ideal.
