Performance of TRVs
In an earlier contribution to this discussion,

Try measuring the temperature right next to the TRV head.
The TRV can't do better than keeping that constant.
It can't even do that under all conditions. A given knob setting and room
temperature will result in a particular flow restriction. But the *required*
flow restriction to maintain a constant room temperature will vary,
depending on the heat losses (heavily influenced by outside temperature) and
on pump pressure - which will depend on what all the other TRVs in the
system are doing. At best, TRVs can only provide crude temperature control.
