Discuss Ideal vogue maxc32 efficiency level in the Central Heating Forum area at Plumbers Forums

Mines will cycle more than 'normal' I guess since it`s only used on manual, via Hive thermostat. We switch it on at normally 18-19c depending on the house/outside temps. We don`t have zones or timed settings. It`s left on 24/7 and the Hive is dropped to 12c instead of switching off at night.
I have the boiler heating set to 70c and drop it to 55-60c come Spring/Summer. I`m not sure if that`s the most efficient way for us to use the heating tho`.
 
It would be nice if they quantified or explained this better because the condensing effect only just kicks in at ~ 55C return temp, you would need to get the boiler return temperature down down to 45C get a reasonable condensing effect of say ~ 8% to give a boiler efficiency of 95% from ~ 87% at 55C.

Old thread I know but thought peeps might like the response I got from their tech team , although not much of one it has to be said.
I asked if the definition was written anywhere , just for my interest because at the time I was just starting using Opentherm with the Google Nest.
My SEL has worked its way up to 93% over the year 22/23 , with flow return temps anywhere from 43/36 to 49/39.
Just for interest by my calcs OT uses around 16% less gas in my house by my calculations.
Anyway this is the , short , response I got .
Hope it's of use
