balancing
In computing, load balancing refers to the process of distributing a set of tasks over a set of resources (computing units), with the aim of making their overall processing more efficient. Load balancing can optimize the response time and avoid unevenly overloading some compute nodes while other compute nodes are left idle.
Load balancing is the subject of research in the field of parallel computers. Two main approaches exist: static algorithms, which do not take into account the state of the different machines, and dynamic algorithms, which are usually more general and more efficient, but require exchanges of information between the different computing units, at the risk of a loss of efficiency.
I have TemCon balancing valves fitted on my sits and a questions been asked whether these require servicing. Can't find much info on the manufacturer website so can anyone confirm if they do and if so what level of service is required?
Hi
I recently moved into my first home and after spending the winter here, I wasn’t particularly happy with the performance of the heating. Shortly after we moved in we installed a Hive thermostat as the old one was broken. To save a bit of money I also invested in the hive TRVs.
After using the...
Hi all,
I have a Worcester Bosch 30 CDI combi boiler. I also have a megaflow installed in the loft.
The water temp on the boiler is redundant. As it is now controlled by the temp gauge on the megaflow. However, the radiator temp is on 6, if I reduce this it seems to disconnect the ignition...
New to the site and looking for help.
Recently, I decided to balance my heating system as some radiators where barely getting warm compared to others and after checking they didn't need bleeding, this seemed like the next step.
I have balanced the system and all the radiators get hot at...
Hello,
Would anyone be able to provide a dummy guide explanation to radiator balancing, not the process itself but in regards to:
A. What should the boiler flow temperature be set to (weather compensator not present)? Some guides state around 75 degrees although what if the system will be...
Our upstairs radiators were getting much hotter much quicker than down stairs. To try and balance I altered some of the lock values on the upstairs rads (not fully closed though) this seemed to work and the downstairs rads were much hotter however one of the upstairs rads was now totally cold...
I am trying to make a pressure balancing loop for body jets in a shower. I have limited space so the loop has to be similar to those drawn.
I just need to know which one would work and if both, then which is better.
Thanks in advance :)
H all, I spent a good day balancing my CH heating system with a digital thermometer. Couldn't quite get the magic 12DegC diff on all the rads but they all get nice and hot now. Some at the far end of the system have the lock shields fully open.
The new problem I have encountered is once the...
I have recently had a new bathroom done because of this the builder has blocked the radiators on the second floor whilst doing the bathroom and when he had completed he has open the lock shield valves fully.
I have tried to balance them, but I have few questions if someone could help me to fine...
Hi all. I have a Combi green star 30i gas boiler and Was installed by helplink a few years ago to my existing system which was installed by servo warm. I have had 2 new extra radiators installed bringing the total to 8. All the radiators except the one in the hall have trv valves. As far as I...
Hi everyone,
I have CH with a system boiler with a header tank and 8mm micro bore pipes to the radiators, fairly standard setup I guess. House is 1990s.
My issue is that two of my radiators are cold, while the rest are perfectly fine. Both the problem radiators are downstairs and close...
My radiators are fed by a Ground Source Heat Pump. On the balancing advice I have seen, it says to have a 12 degree difference between feed and out on a normal heating system.
My question is because the boiler runs at a lower temperature than a normal boiler, what temp difference should I be...
Hi. Just trying to get my head around how this relates to the temperature drop across the circuit. Not disputing that the two are related (obviously we measure temperature as that is easier) but I don't understand the process. This came up on another thread and I didn't want to sidetrack the...
Hey everyone,
Looking advice on balancing the radiators in a 2 zone (+hot water) system.
I know you should open all valves and then close the one that heats up the quickest and open again by 1/4 turn, following this pattern for the rest radiators.
Is it the same process for a 2 zone system...
We have an old house where downstairs is an old single pipe system but upstairs is a conventional double pipe system when it was added later on.
The single pipes are burried in concrete so it's not an option to convert at this time
In an effort to improve downstairs we were looking at changing...
I have found the very useful Balancing Radiators post by Dotty from 2016 (Balancing Radiators Thread. - https://www.plumbersforums.net/threads/balancing-radiators-thread.87115/), but it doesn't say what to do with the TRVs while adjusting the lockshields in steps 7 and 8. Do you just leave them...
We have a manifolded microbore CH system. We’ve had a new boiler and hot water cylinder installed a couple of years ago and I’ve finished replacing all of the house radiators bar one. The system was fully power flushed when the boiler was installed. What I’m looking for is advice on balancing...
Evening all. Enthusiastic have a go guy here! I did get into the whole calculation of heat capacity of flow and calculated resistance after we had a few terrifying quotes when I bought the house - Quite a large 3 floor 7 bed Edwardian house. I fitted a 300 litre unvented cylinder and...
Hi Forum,
I am attempting to manually balance the radiators in my house, to get an average of 11c drop between Flow and Return on each radiator.
I have set the boiler temprature to 65c.
With the Grundfos Alpha 3, it has several control modes, with each mode needing a value set:
Constant...
