To regulate the temp in a specific room by opening and closing dependant on set tempreture.
Just confirming mateThere's an echo on here
Well that is basically how I would describe TRVs, but I have been told I am wrong, so you are also both wrong if we believe what I am being told.
Apparently they are -
A Proportional control adjusting the flow through a radiator so it is producing exact amount of heat.
They are designed (allegedly) to be full open when room temperature is one degree below set temperature and closed when room is one degree above.
They operate as balancing valves and shouldn’t operate as on/off valves.
So what do you reckon?
I did say it wasn’t as easy as it appears.

Explain that to the customer??? Think I’ll stick to what I said above.Well that is basically how I would describe TRVs, but I have been told I am wrong, so you are also both wrong if we believe what I am being told.
