How can I see that I am actually benefitting from condensing at the boiler (I've got a relatively cheap measuring unit with two k clamp thermocouples)
As an example measurement I can see 72c on the boiler display but only 63c on the flow pipe just above it and then 56c on the return pipe.
Is the delta T boiler temp vs return or flow pipe vs return?
I'm obviously an amateur and confused.... do I have to do multiple measurements and average? (the unit seems to have a max, min and average function which I haven't explored yet)
Also how long should you leave the clamp on the pipe to get a true reading?
Also it would seem that if I use both thermocouples, one on flow and one on return I get a false reading - with the flow and return pipe temperatures much closer together - I'm guessing that this is the cheapness of the unit (£19)
