External bypass valve with modern pump
External bypass valve with modern pump
We are replacing our boiler (heat only) in the spring and I am just checking a few things.
I have read that the idea of the ABV is to allow a minimum flow through the boiler. When most of the TRVs start to shut, the pressure in the system increases and that opens the ABV.
But what happens if you are using constant pressure or proportional pressure mode? The pressure in the system would not increase, even when the TRVs have closed. So how does an ABV work in this situation?
