After lots of helpful comments on my plight to redesign my Dad's
CH using a thermal store system, I was wondering if anyone could comment
on this underfloor heating component:

http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/186-0000

specifically: the "Return Temperature Controller"

It claims to be a way of avoiding a 4 port mixer + local pump
assembly by regulating the water return temperature.

The only thing I can see wrong is that it of course still presents
70+C water at the inflow end of the underfloor pipework.

So parts of the floor are presumably going to get rather hot???

Would you say my instincts are correct or would this type of regulation
actually work?

Ta muchly,

Timbo

Hi Tim
The valve is a Danfoss http://tinyurl.com/4blyr
I used them in my conservatory.
No mixers, works a treat.
We use the room all the year round. It is super I wish I could do the

whole
house like it.

Make sure the flow temp is no more than 50-55C. A mixer should be used to
ensure this, or a condensing boiler set to 50Cish and a priority system for
DHW where the boiler temp is ramped right up. ECO-Hometec do boiler just
for this.
