Hi Everyone
I wasn’t sure whether to post this in here or UFH but hopefully I’m posting this in the correct group.
I’m in the throes of a full renovation and am currently designing the central heating system, I’m installing radiators (11 or 12 in total) and am going to run each rad from its own loop on a manifold, each rad will have a wall mounted thermostat and actuator valve on the manifold all connected to a wiring centre so each rad is individually controllable.
I’ve done this same setup in a previous property with a 4 port manifold and it worked just great using just the circulation pump in the boiler, I wondering this time if I’m going to need an additional pump at the manifold with the increased number of rads, but I thought I’d read somewhere that 2 pumps can work against each other when on the same loop and cause problems
If that’s the case I did wonder if I just used the same setup as UFH with a pump and a blend valve as I know that doesn’t cause an issue, I’ll be over sizing the rads anyway to future proof for an ASHP should I ever go down that route, so will be running at a lower temp.
I was wondering if anyone had any experiences of a similar setup or had any additional thoughts
Thanks in advance
Martin
