balancing

In computing, load balancing refers to the process of distributing a set of tasks over a set of resources (computing units), with the aim of making their overall processing more efficient. Load balancing can optimize the response time and avoid unevenly overloading some compute nodes while other compute nodes are left idle.
Load balancing is the subject of research in the field of parallel computers. Two main approaches exist: static algorithms, which do not take into account the state of the different machines, and dynamic algorithms, which are usually more general and more efficient, but require exchanges of information between the different computing units, at the risk of a loss of efficiency.

    TemCon temperature balancing valves

    I have TemCon balancing valves fitted on my sits and a questions been asked whether these require servicing. Can't find much info on the manufacturer website so can anyone confirm if they do and if so what level of service is required?

    Balancing Radiators!

    Hi I recently moved into my first home and after spending the winter here, I wasn’t particularly happy with the performance of the heating. Shortly after we moved in we installed a Hive thermostat as the old one was broken. To save a bit of money I also invested in the hive TRVs. After using the...

    Balancing/heating issues

    Hi all, I have a Worcester Bosch 30 CDI combi boiler. I also have a megaflow installed in the loft. The water temp on the boiler is redundant. As it is now controlled by the temp gauge on the megaflow. However, the radiator temp is on 6, if I reduce this it seems to disconnect the ignition...

    Balancing heating system, does it cost more?

    New to the site and looking for help. Recently, I decided to balance my heating system as some radiators where barely getting warm compared to others and after checking they didn't need bleeding, this seemed like the next step. I have balanced the system and all the radiators get hot at...

    Radiator Balancing Dummy Questions

    Hello, Would anyone be able to provide a dummy guide explanation to radiator balancing, not the process itself but in regards to: A. What should the boiler flow temperature be set to (weather compensator not present)? Some guides state around 75 degrees although what if the system will be...

    Cold radiators balancing

    Our upstairs radiators were getting much hotter much quicker than down stairs. To try and balance I altered some of the lock values on the upstairs rads (not fully closed though) this seemed to work and the downstairs rads were much hotter however one of the upstairs rads was now totally cold...

    Which is the better (or valid) pressure balancing loop?

    I am trying to make a pressure balancing loop for body jets in a shower. I have limited space so the loop has to be similar to those drawn. I just need to know which one would work and if both, then which is better. Thanks in advance :)

    Boiler cycling after balancing.

    H all, I spent a good day balancing my CH heating system with a digital thermometer. Couldn't quite get the magic 12DegC diff on all the rads but they all get nice and hot now. Some at the far end of the system have the lock shields fully open. The new problem I have encountered is once the...

    Balancing radiators on Heat Pump System

    My radiators are fed by a Ground Source Heat Pump. On the balancing advice I have seen, it says to have a 12 degree difference between feed and out on a normal heating system. My question is because the boiler runs at a lower temperature than a normal boiler, what temp difference should I be...

    The idea of balancing a system is to try and get the pressure drop of all circuits equal to that of the index circuit.

    Hi. Just trying to get my head around how this relates to the temperature drop across the circuit. Not disputing that the two are related (obviously we measure temperature as that is easier) but I don't understand the process. This came up on another thread and I didn't want to sidetrack the...

    Balancing radiators in a 2 zone system

    Hey everyone, Looking advice on balancing the radiators in a 2 zone (+hot water) system. I know you should open all valves and then close the one that heats up the quickest and open again by 1/4 turn, following this pattern for the rest radiators. Is it the same process for a 2 zone system...

    Balancing Mixed Single & Double Pipe System

    We have an old house where downstairs is an old single pipe system but upstairs is a conventional double pipe system when it was added later on. The single pipes are burried in concrete so it's not an option to convert at this time In an effort to improve downstairs we were looking at changing...

    Yet another balancing question

    I have found the very useful Balancing Radiators post by Dotty from 2016 (Balancing Radiators Thread. - https://www.plumbersforums.net/threads/balancing-radiators-thread.87115/), but it doesn't say what to do with the TRVs while adjusting the lockshields in steps 7 and 8. Do you just leave them...
