I am currently experimenting with my heating curve and would be interested to know what supply temperatures you are running with your air-to-water heat pump combined with underfloor heating?

Outside temperature currently 5.1 degrees, return temperature 24.2, supply temperature 24.4. Room temperature 22-24 degreesHow can the difference between return and supply be only 0.2 degrees? Your heat pump is either off or not running.My current data with 5 degrees outside: supply temperature 29.8 degrees, return temperature 25 degrees, room temperature 22.5 degrees.
You should not forget that most (all?) heat pumps are controlled by the return temperature. That means you set the maximum return temperature on your heating curve! This is usually somewhere around 27-30 degrees. This means, in extreme cases, a supply temperature up to 33-35 degrees. Although it rarely gets that cold.

You must not forget, most (all?) heat pumps are controlled by the return temperature. That means you set the maximum return temperature on your heating curve! This is usually somewhere around 27–30 degrees. That means in extreme cases the supply can be up to 33–35 degrees, although it rarely gets that cold. I’m updating with more recent data: 29 degrees supply, 26.4 degrees actual return, 26.4 degrees target return. Hysteresis is 1.5 degrees, so it is heating right now. Outdoor temperature is 1 degree Celsius.
Okay, that sounds more interesting. I was just wondering if a supply temperature of around 26°C (79°F) is normal when the room temperature is about 20–21°C (68–70°F) and it’s approximately 8°C (46°F) outside. According to calculations, the system should be able to handle a maximum supply temperature of 30°C (86°F) at an outside temperature of minus 12°C (10°F), so I was surprised to already have 26°C (79°F) supply temperature when it’s not even freezing outside.

You will need to run a higher supply temperature. Where does that assumption come from?Similar topics
