Re: Altherma frequent compressor cycling
Exactly.
It has a termistor before and after the heat excanger in the hydrobox. While the compressor is off, the water passing through heat excanger is not heated, so both thermistors read the same value. Altherma displays on the control panel the temperature that is on the heat exchanger outlet, so when compressor starts you can see water temperature raising, but you can not see the water temperature coming from the manifold (return flow) any more.
The underfloor loops keep rather stable temperature, since there is 15cm of insulation beneath the loops, and they are covered with 6cm of concrete, on which ceramic tyles are laid. The water from radiators is joined (mixed) with water from underfloor loops before going to heatpump. As far as I could observe it looses (the mixed water) about 1°C in 2 hours. This is not an exact measurement.
That's why I set it to "alwasy on".
