We have 2 large radiators (1.9kw and 2.2kw) which are the furthest from the boiler.
I have balanced all the others, some to 1/4 turn from off etc etc, but am unsure wether I should leave these last 2 rads fully open or balance to 12c or even more.
They are in an open plan room and are in the same room as the room stat (Nest).
No matter what I do I can't get the return and flow at the boiler, after it has been running for 15 mins or so, more than about 5C below the flow temp..
I even had an engineer out to check if the internal auto bypass was 'stuck'. He even checked if there was an external one anywhere and there wasn't.
I can run at 45c (rad mean is about 42c) in this below freezing weather but am wondering if I should (would) get better economy/performance with some thing like a 50/30 dt.
Thoughts please
