The majority of residents simply don't understand how their heating systems work and the vast majority think that TRV's affect the temperature of the radiator, of course they don't, they simply cut off the flow of hot water to the radiator once the room has reached the desired temperature. I would question the logic of balancing radiators on a two pipe system with TRV's installed but for those with old one pipe systems or possibly without TRV's then it is worth balancing the system. In basic terms this means you reduce the flow of water to the radiator closest to the boiler, the next closest has the flow reduced a little less and so on a so forth. It does take a lot of playing around to get the balance right but it can be worth the effort.Joe Malonehttp://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=72097911&trk=tab_pronoreply@blogger.com
