What will happen if radiator selections are made from the 50Δt tables when the boiler in question has flow and return temperatures of 82/71C?
Unless the installer/heating engineer has taken it into consideration when calculating the heat loss requirements of the room, the radiator will be oversized by up to 25%. Although initially it will be an extra expense, in a sense it will have some advantages. The thermostat can be turned down to suit the comfort levels required, and when the boiler is eventually replaced according to the regulations, the radiators will be of the right size.
