Cutting fuel costs

[Softus]

If this isn't the worst excuse for an argument...

I'm not arguing, I'm merely asking. If you don't like being asked, just say so. It won't make any difference, but at least it would be honest and would save a lot of time.

As gas4you said there's no regs saying exactly where it should go BR or MI. I recommend they go in the lounge for reasons i can't be bothered to explain to you.

Well then, don't explain them to me, explain them to the OP.

Sound technical reason, maybe not.

Oh.

Yo. Bigburn.

Your being deliberately obtuse and argumentative on this thread which is of no help to the OP.

Obtuse - yes. Argumentative - no. Help to the OP - that's for him/her to decide, not you.

some useful information from that document.

I think you might be making the mistake of thinking that I don't know what thermostats do and where they should be installed.

So, the zillion dollar question is: are you claiming that the information you quoted is correct and relevant in the context of a combi with TRVs on all rads (or all but one etc.)?

I appreciate that they keep the temperature of the rad constant in a given room ............

They attempt to keep the room temperature constant. The temperature of the rad will depend on the amount of heat needed to keep the room temperature at the required setting.

Clearly you dont.

Correct.

Air temperature is a function of rad output and room heat losses.

Rad output is a function of boiler temperature, distribution heat losses, rad output rating, and TRV setting.

Its probably a lot more lucid than the tripe you have posted on this thread thus far.

That's all very well, but what does the manufacturer say, and what do the Building Regulations say?


That's just daft, but if you're comfortable with making that kind of assumption then so be it.

Eh? I don't understand your replies, so I'll restate:


But now it seems that you're asking me what the BRs say?!

Is this because you can't find them, or can't read then, or can't understand them ?


Of course - why would you not stand by it?

However, why do you recommend the things that you recommend?

If not based on the MIs or the BRs, then you must have some sound technical reason for the recommendation, otherwise it's just someone's airy fairy opinion.

Fine. If you don't like it then don't read it.

Softus , your just a sad assed tozzer who likes nit picking through other peoples threads. ha, ha ha.

Thanks for the input. I've been called much worse by far better.

It seems from your reply that you don't know whether or not one rad shouldn't have a TRV when a combi is installed.

Yet another one of your bad calls Rupert - if you take a look you'll see that Bigburn has a history of abusive posts. And if you don't like them you should be Emailing Admin.
