balance
The balance of trade, commercial balance, or net exports (sometimes symbolized as NX), is the difference between the monetary value of a nation's exports and imports over a certain time period. Sometimes a distinction is made between a balance of trade for goods versus one for services. The balance of trade measures a flow of exports and imports over a given period of time. The notion of the balance of trade does not mean that exports and imports are "in balance" with each other.
If a country exports a greater value than it imports, it has a trade surplus or positive trade balance, and conversely, if a country imports a greater value than it exports, it has a trade deficit or negative trade balance. As of 2016, about 60 out of 200 countries have a trade surplus. The notion that bilateral trade deficits are bad in and of themselves is overwhelmingly rejected by trade experts and economists.
I have an ideal vogue max S18 boiler and I’m considering fitting auto balancing TRVs, my question relates to the boilers pump.
I see a boiler pump menu for either 70% or 100%, so, is the pump set at either one of two fixed speed percentages or does the pump actually vary speed, (modulate)...
Hi everyone,
Gas combi Boiler
Mains fed in all taps and shower
How do I balance the water pressure in all faucets in my flat. Every tap/water faucet is mains fed but the cold water is really strong in every tap that if I open the tap fully it flies out like a fountain but the hot water is not...
So getting a digital shower and it says the hot and cold water should be balanced. Am I right in thinking they should already be balanced with the hot taking on the cold pressure entering the boiler or am I way off?
Cheers
Hey everyone,
Looking advice on balancing the radiators in a 2 zone (+hot water) system.
I know you should open all valves and then close the one that heats up the quickest and open again by 1/4 turn, following this pattern for the rest radiators.
Is it the same process for a 2 zone system...
Guys , customer is having problems with his ufh , not heating enough ,cooling down etc etc,he wants me to fit some auto balencing actuators / valves , I have no experience of them at all, and honestly cant see the point of just trying them for the sake of it .
System is in screed and is approx...
Hi Everyone,
Just wondering what sort of hours people are working as i seem to be working all the time, thinking it may be time to take on another engineer.
i leave the house at 7ish and get home about 7-8pm then do paperwork till 11-12.
We just moved into a new build house two months ago. Haven't really had to use the heating upstairs until now. Downstairs has a thermostat in the living room and 5 radiators it controls that all work fine. Upstairs has a thermostat and 4 radiators and only one of them is getting hot.
This is...
Now its got cold again I'm having another attempt to get our system re-balanced and have found this "lockshield":
Presumably all I need is an allen key to adjust it?
Also, using my new infra red thermometer, this rad is getting a lot hotter than most of the others in the house - is this...
Hi Forum,
Has anyone actually used this application 'Go Balance' from Grundfos to successfully balance a radiator system with one of their compatible pumps like the Alpha 3.
I'm failing misserably, at the moment the application complains that radiators valves are blocked, even through when I...
Hello Forum,
I have installed a Grundfos Alpha 3 pump, which comes with a companion mobile application called 'Go Balance', the two interact to allow the installer to "easily" balance the CH/HW system.
Now stupidly, Grundfos in their almighty wisdon, have decided that it would be very clever...
Hi
I've been trying to balance my Central heating system to solve a long running issue with 3 down stairs radiators taking a long time to get hot. The system is an open vented system with 12 Rads ( 4 upstairs and 8 down) At the same time, in our living room we have one of these heaters ( Pls see...
Hi, I put a new central heating system in my property 3 years ago and used danfoss trvs. I have never managed to successfully balance the radiators using these trvs and wondering now if I've fitted them properly. It's a fine line from hot to warm eg each trv has 5 heat settings but heat setting...
Hi, I have gas central heating with a conventional boiler with a cold water tank and a hot water storage cylinder.
One of my radiators towards the end of the run used to get hot and I would then control the temperature with the TRV valve. Someone has turned the lock shield valve on the...
So I have been reading a lot. I have a vented Y plan system with a conventional boiler. Even when I set up everything with my thermostatic multi meter I think I am losing condensing at the boiler when I heat hot water. My current hot water loop goes through the pump then the 3 position valve...

Hopefully someone can shed some light for me.
I have a oil boiler with a pump and a total of 9 rads in my house,
All the rads work particularly well except the 2 in the living room,
They just don't seem to hold any heat.
They have had new valves, been bled, and I've flushed them out.
I've...

Hi there. Having a few issues getting the balance right on a large ish guest house. 18 rads and an unvented cylinder heated by a 28kw baxi system boiler located in the loft. I was called to the job last week after the painters had been in and removed some rads, after replacing the rads they...
Our central heating engineer left our house over 5 weeks ago and didn't counter balance the CH system before he left, should he have done this and what effect does not doing have?
Hello,
I have recently had a new extension fitted to the house. All the electrical work and plumbing etc. was dealt with by the builder as a complete job. After 3 weeks of his plumber attempting to get the system working he has walked away and left my builder and myself somewhat in the lurch...
