heating system
I am looking at how to design a heating system and there are a few
things that I need help on. If I have the heat loss from a room(W) the desired temperature of the room(c) how would I get from those figures back to a flow/return temperature in the radiator? I know that the rads are designed on a 50 degree temp difference between the ambient air and the mean water temp in the rad, and that mean water temp is made up from the flow/return temps but if I was looking at the design of the initial heat source would I just design for an approximate heat output and then size the rad around this output or are there some definite calcs that can be done. Any help appreciated Cheers |

Any help appreciated There is a thread at the mo' about a heat calcs. That is you first step. What sort of DHW do you want? mains pressure? Other? _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

could you give me the link to the other thread? There is no DHW
