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.

    Condensing boiler 20 degree differential

    Flow pipe temperature 70 degrees. Return pipe is 55 degrees. What would I need to do to get the 20 degree differential that they look for?! Turn down pump speed? Close off balancing valve on rads and cylinder until temperature on return pipe drops? Or is dere another trick?!

    Balancing radiators

    Hi all, rather than buying two clamps, to put on the flow and return of the radiators, so you can try and get the temperature of the flow pipe, 11 or 12 degrees higher than the return pipe. Can you just use a digital infrared thermometer, and point it say central of each rad, and get the...

    Balancing rads

    Does anyone actually do this after an install? I know its for efficiency especially with a condensing boiler but does anyone do it? I've never known anyone do it. Full install, all rad valves fully open, all getting hot, job done.

    w plan system to y plan system or maybe even an s plan?

    i have got to change over a w plan system. If it was just changing to a Y plan, is it just a case of ptting in the new mid position valve and running a hot water off? Or, would you recommend changing it to an S plan?
