FIREBIRD ENVIROAIR HEATING SYSTEMS Running patterns and flow temperatures A traditional boiler system is usually oversized for the property and is designed to work at a high flow temperature (80°C). The boiler will generally run for limited periods of time during the day. In contrast, the heat pump will have been sized to match much more closely ...

Weather compensation The heat pump measures the outdoor temperature and adjusts the temperature of water being fed to the heating system. The warmer it is outside the lower the flow temperature and so the higher the efficiency of the heat pump. This method of operation is called ‘weather compensation’ and is critical to enabling the heat pump ...

PC-controller The controller is used to control your heating system and has been set up during commissioning. The temperature in the house can be adjusted by using the room stats. provided. *More information page 8 (Controller Symbols).
