So... then I want to add my two cents.
Unfortunately, our heating system is oversized for our house. That means if the flow rate is not very high, the water heats up very quickly (too quickly) to the set flow temperature and it switches off... unfortunately this happens so fast that the gas boiler cannot start modulating...
Modulating means that the boiler starts at full power and then reduces it after some time... but if it switches off too quickly, it cannot reduce the power. The consequence is a constant switching on and off of the boiler.
After extensive reading and experimenting, I have now "improved" the following in my system:
- Increased the pump pressure so that the water is transported away faster
- Set an 8-minute cycle lock, which means the heating only switches on every 8 minutes (domestic hot water excluded)
- Then adjusted the base point and end point (base point = desired flow temperature at +20 degrees / end point = desired flow temperature at -20 degrees)
With this, I was able to significantly reduce my cycling.
