I have been getting quotes for my central heating installation and one quote I have received includes the installation of a low loss header and extra pump.
I have read an old article stating the purpose of the low loss header is to allow large volumes of flow through the radiators when the boiler heat exchanger is too small to handle that flow and would present a bottleneck.
I am installing a heat only boiler, and without any hard data, my gut instinct tells me that the boiler manufacturer would not produce a 40kW boiler only to be a bottleneck trying to power 30kW worth of radiators.
Am I understanding this correctly? (I am also going to email Worcester to see what they say).
