C/H - Setting Auto Bypass Valve With Variable Speed Pump?
Hi,
I have just changed my pipework and have added an automatic boiler bypass valve so the boiler (Baxi Barcelona) does not control the pump (pump stopped and started at beginning of heating cycle). This was required if no valve was fitted. I have a energy saving pump (Alpha +) which varies speed with back pressure and want to manually set the bypass valve. The valve information asks for information on boiler minimum flow pump head etc and to read across a graph to obtain the "setting" on my Honeywell valve. This all seems to be a bit complicated and I have just noticed that the pump has 3 manual settings, the slowest is for "adjusting bypass valve"!! How do I find the setting, do I run system until the all TRV's start shutting (IE system reaching stable operation at nominal temperature) then adjust the valve till it just bypasses and back it off a fraction? The above is what I have arrived at doing some logical thinking, but I might be wrong! Apologies for any wrong terminology. Regards |
