i have a honeywell L641A cylinder stat. i have it set to 60 on the scale, but when it turns off the boiler supposedly at 60, the measured water temp at an outlet less than 1 metre from the cylinder is 50 degrees (measured using a RTD probe)
if i adjust the control knob i can hear the switch operating. it clicks inline with 60 on the scale, so the stat thinks it is at 60!
my parents hot water feels considerably hotter and measures at 60 degress as per their cylinder stat set point.
obviously its easily sorted by turning the stat to 70, but i just wondered why this occurs? honeywell say they have never had an L641A sent back due to inaccuracy.
