Experiment to test heating impulse response of room 5s (study) at 16WW DHD20210429 Rad is 2-panel pressed steel ~50cm x 50cm on microbore pipework. Preparation: * Room curtains drawn to minimise solar gain. * 4o outside temperature measurement in porch reinstated: * Sunny so some solar gain. * Second temperature measurement stream near geometric centre of room: * Eye level on corner of chest of drawers. * Using 1g for this temporarily. Have replaced 1g with shut Radbot. * All Radbots turned down to * (frost). * 5s Radbot removed from rad and placed nearby to continue to measure temps. * Heat-sensitive gadgets removed from room. * Note weather conditions, validate 4o, 5s and room-centre temperature stream. * Some direct sunshine, cool. * Old house stat turned up to max (>30C) to force-enable heating. * Gas reading before (m^3): XXX5.622 @ 2021-04-29T08:31Z * (Using 1m^3 of gas = 11.1kWh.) During: * Gas reading before (m^3): XXX5.622 * Start time: 08:52Z * Switch boiler to CH+DHW mode. * Windows and doors of 5s to room closed. * Measure rad flow temperature at boiler as well as possible: ~47C w/N84FR on boiler pipe. * Ensure that gas not used for other purposes eg DHW. * Gas reading intermediate (m^3): XXX6.127 @ 2021-04-29T11:27Z 5.6kWh * Gas reading intermediate (m^3): XXX6.560 @ 2021-04-29T14:22Z 10.4kWh * Gas reading intermediate (m^3): XXX6.664 @ 2021-04-29T15:18Z 11.6kWh * Gas reading intermediate (m^3): XXX6.791 @ 2021-04-29T16:05Z 13.0kWh * Temp reading from stand-alone digital thermometer at eye-height ~28C. * Continue until 5s room temperature stabilised if possible! (Didn't happen.) * Record end time: 16:05Z (433m, 7.2h) * Gas reading end (m^3): XXX6.791 @ 2021-04-29T16:05Z 13.0kWh ~1.8kW mean After: * Plot and publish implied thermal characteristics of 5s. * Making good: * House stat back to 10C (minimum). * Boiler back to DHW only, and on clock not always on. * Re-opened lockshield on 3l. * Put 1g back. * Have left all Radbots on * (frost), or 1 for 1g because of dial issue. * Chart captured at img/2021/20210429-16WWmultisensortempL.png * Windows opened wide to cool off! Notes: * May be minor DHW use from hand-washing. (May have been none in fact.) * 3l rad came on so had to turn off at lockshield. * DHD error: heating went off a little before 4pm (normally off 4pm to 7pm) noticed at ~4:20pm (15:20Z) and put onto clock to always-on mode.
