I'm having trouble getting my Column Radiators in Kitchen (2) & Lounge (2) getting hot at the bottom. The system is less than 2 years old and powered by a new Worcester 42CDI.
All the other Rads seem to get hot. The boiler is turned up to max and all Rads have been Bled and there's no air in the system. Pressure of the boiler is also around 1.5. All Rads are fitted with TRVs.
When you turn the TRVs on all Rads off except the 4 Column Radiators, they then seem to get fairly hot at the bottom, almost as hot as the Top. As soon as they other TRVs are turned to say between 2 - 3, the Column Rads start to get cool towards the bottom. This results in the room taking longer to heat up.
The Column Rads have the Flow and Return entering and exiting from the Bottom. I'm also pretty sure these Radiators are towards the end or middle of the Loop so not sure if that makes any difference.
Any advice how on what to try to solve this? Will adding an extra Rad in each room help heating the room quicker?
