or radiators. You can't heat the DHW and the central heating simultaneously

I might be wrong but I think HGC is High Gain Coil in Joule parlance but if so that only means a 2.8m2 coil vs the 0.8 of the standard version. not stellar for sure

Well I can't follow the signal trace to anything active on the main board. the little sensor board has capacitors between GND and both Vs and OP. The OP is pulled up by a resistor to Vs. Where the cable lands on the mainboard, there's another cap between GND and OP, and a resistor between Vs and OP. Supply voltage is 5v I'm tempted to bring the OP line high and/or low through a few k Ohms to see what pattern results in the unit being satisfied and starting the blower

I'll have a look on the control pcb later, but in the interim the US distributor is putting me in touch with someone in mainland Europe who can assist as the wee sensor board is an available spare apparently

Another 'Cool Energy' heatpumps thread
dpmiller replied to HughF's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
I'll get some ideas together and get back to you over the weekend -
Yep, definitely Hall. there's an actuating disc- a cam- directly above it and there are two magnets clipped into this. Problem is, I don't know if this is polarity-sensitive, but presume it is. The 2 magnets are 180deg apart, and it has no other way of telling cam-up or cam-down for valve position feedback so something like a DRV5053 I was thinking

OK chaps, my google-fu is coming up short here @Radian @ProDave etc I'm looking for a replacement Hall-effect sensor. It's an SOT-23 device, and the markings are W90B, 65AA. Does anybody know what it really is and/or what it might cross to? It's the valve position sensor in the pump for our treatment plant. ta...

Unless you've got an anemometer you don't know if it *is* slight. @Conor are you finished with mine? looks like @pocster could do with one for a bit... -

dpmiller replied to Pocster's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
as above, airflow at each terminal and overall fan speed need controlling for both supply and extract. Plus any overhead you fancy to guarantee positive or negative pressure overall... -
Working correctly
dpmiller replied to Pocster's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
what style of outlets are they? Some screw in and out, some systems need orifices changing, and then you've got overall fan speed too. -
how many watts of a difference do you think there'll be between two already-efficient pumps?

LG Therma V Monobloc CH14 flow error
dpmiller replied to Tim Pearson's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
^ not sure if anyone other than RED modulate heating flows in that manner? Has the OP confirmed that this particular ASHP has an internal circulation pump, and that it is actually functioning correctly? -
LG Therma V Monobloc CH14 flow error
dpmiller replied to Tim Pearson's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
has the pump got 2 cables plugged in or just 1 mains supply? PWM pumps have a second signal wire to tell them what to do... -
^ chap that did our screeding had a similar story. Dyed-in-the-wool Ford man, til about three years back when his last Transit left him stranded twice, parts took for ever to arrive, and then the repair was botched for good measure. He's now in a MAN sprinter clone and will *never* touch Ford again.

3 port motorised valve should move 90 degrees or 180 degrees?
dpmiller replied to me123's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
the drawing in the catalogue shows two rectangular rubber plates on a sprung mount, 90deg apart. If the drawing is accurate that means opening one port and closing the other only requires 90deg as it's switching from one plate closed, to the *other* one closed. But I've never been inside one of these so can't confirm. /edit or is there in fact only one valve plate? @Nickfromwales? -
The wired remote is literally a clone of the front panel, but you can only fit one AFAIK so I'm presuming you're actually just fitting boost switches in the other rooms? In control mode 1, you can set a time period for "normal" and it will drop back to "low" outside those times. Obviously you can set low to be as low as you want. The front panel button operates Boost. In control mode 2 you can toggle between speeds using the front panel button, plus three of the input terminals can connect to a 3-way switch for manual selection of a speed. Appendix 1 of the manual details this alternative mode.

3 port motorised valve should move 90 degrees or 180 degrees?
dpmiller replied to me123's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
According to the PDF, your Sunvic is motor-on, motor-off, with slipseal, and the image implies it's 90deg from side to side.. Have you got the shaft 180degrees out of position maybe? Or could it be a different valve "under the cover"? -
Looking at getting a van, what do you think?
dpmiller replied to CalvinHobbes's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
we're not in Ireland tho, and the Irish vehicle test is the NCT. PSV /public service and (more likely) LGV/ light goods are the applicable tests for that class of vehicle but the term is used a bit interchangeably, never mind that some vans can be taxed as cars too and then would be MoT'd...
