  • Page 15: Sealed System Requirements

    Such an arrangement will provide for a potentially more efficient control of the environment and will also avoid the continuous running of the circulation pump during programmed heating ‘On’ periods. thus saving electrical energy It is recommended strongly therefore that, when thermostatic radiator valves are used, that space heating temperature control over living/dining area or hallway having a heating requirement of at least 2 kW (7000 Btu/h) be achieved using a room thermostat whilst other rooms are individually controlled by thermostatic radiator valves.
