I am specifying a wet central heating for a rented out 1 bed flat.
W-Bosch Combi boiler + 5 radiators + portable wireless thermostat.
I would like all radiators to have TRVs so tenants are able to turn off all radiators apart from in the room that they want to heat.
I have had 2 quotes & been advised that the installation needs to ensure water continues to circulate for as long as boiler is above its safe internal temperature. This to be achieved by having 1 radiator (hall usually chosen) not having a TRV but to be always open & on.
But this means tenants always having to heat the hall when have heating on. But no one wanting to heat their hall. This is waste of energy & money. Are there any alternatives to having 1 of radiators without a TRV. Such as a correctly positioned automatic bypass valve providing the required circulation & heat dumping capability.
Looks good in theory. Hall radiator is only used for heating the hall. Only turned on when required which is rarely. ABV opens when radiators unavailable but otherwise closed. More energy efficient.
Would this work. Thanks for any comments.
