Default Performance of TRVs

Has anybody got any figures on the performance of Thermostatic Room
Valves?
Settings 0 - 5 = ??? degrees C
open to closed = ??? degrees C
There must be a specification somewhere.

Leaving my digital probe thermometer in one position in a room is giving
me
a swing of a few degrees in temperature, and I would like to chase down
the
reason for this differential.


Because themostats generally do not open and close at the same temperature.
Even when hysteresis defeating mechanisms are employed it is rare and
proabably confined to
purely solid state devices. Certainly a TRV is never going to perform in
this way.
