Hi all. I have a Vaillant 418 ECO tech plus boiler with VRT360f and Vr65 running into an open vent system (S Plan) Now that the outside temperature is becoming warmer, I find that boiler is cycling quite often. Have now found that setting 'd0' alows boiler to be set at a lower 'part load' figure than the default 18kW. Is it advantageous to set the part load figure much lower if sufficient heat is available in house. Since only 4 radiators are in circuit at the moment (upstairs is closed off) and after rough calculation of requirement, I have set 'd0' down to 10kW which appears to be adequate for heating and DHW. Does this improve efficency or not? Cycling now seems much reduced. Have I done the right thing by setting part load figure to calculated requirement?. Should profesional installers set the part load figure on installation? There is no reference to this in the installation manual left to me by the registered installer.
Regards.
