Myself and MBH have just moved house, and the property we're now in has a Gledhill Boilermate 2000 thermal store system. The question relates to the how the CH system is supposed to work.
There are 12 radiators, a towel rail, and a wall-mounted thermostat. The house was built in 2003.
The radiators in the lounge and the four bedrooms are fitted with Myson 'two-way' TRVs. The lounge also has a living-flame gas fire. The thermostat is in the hall, the radiator of which does not have a TRV.
The question is, how is one supposed to set up and run the system?
For the TRVs to be effective, they would need to be set to shut off at a lower temperature than the thermostat, otherwise the system would operate under the control of the thermostat, making them redundant. But one normally runs the lounge at a higher temperature than the hall, yet with this system this can't happen.
Although the living-flame gas fire could be lit, which would shut off the TRVs due to the temperature rise in the lounge, this still leaves the issue of the bedrooms, where the TRVs would only function if set to a lower temperature than the hall.
Any comments or advice gratefully received...
