Manufacturers of MCLP recommend limiting water flow by section of pipe (<1 m/s main distribution, <0,5 m/s radiator circuits, <0,3 m/s in radiator pipes) but I cant find anything about minimum recommended flows. I’m designing a system using radiators designed to run as low a delta 30 (ie 50/30deg) and would like to run large bore to reduce the flow to 0,02 m/s (1Pa/m) in some sections for max heat transfer with min pump usage (its class A but still..)

Are there any problems running at these velocities and temperaturas?
