I know that a combi central heating system with TRV fitted radiators has to have at least one radiator with no TRV, thus ensuring a constant flow through the system. But does it matter which radiator?
My daughter has just moved into a 2 bedroom house (6 radiators) with a combi fitted in the downstairs kitchen. As she has a 3 week old baby, the heating is currently on 24/7 controlled by TRVs. Of the 6 radiators, 2 are not fitted with TRVs (Entrance Hallway and Bathroom Towel Rail). The enclosed entrance hallway gets very hot whilst the rest of the house (open plan) is 'comfortable'.
If I fit a TRV to the hallway (or switch it off), would the bathroom towel rail radiator provide sufficient 'flow capacity' for the combi? The towel rail is a 'ladder' type radiator (approx 500 x 800)
