-12 kW heat pump
-radiators
-fixed flow temp. 50 ˚C
-buffer 200 L
All of the above means that consumption must be higher, but I was monitoring on Cloud and testing something with a lower flow temperature but still it was too high and my idea was that something was wrong on the refrigerant side so we checked and charged again, even changing the liquid pipe.
Then, on-site, we tried to do the fast calculation and realized:
2 x secondary pump, fixed speed, set up on maximum speed (3) + 2 x ON/OFF thermostat - not so much radiators in the house, so way to high speed
secondary flow rate is fixed at around 3.8 m3/h (64 L/min)
primary flow rate on 12 kW is 1.9 m3/h (32 L/min)
And just by lowering speed from 3 to 1 (around 32 L/min), heat pump power consumption is 50% lower.
Take a look what to do if your cost is too high.
