Anyone monitoring a new R32 Ecodan?

I’m not familiar with that monitor. Do the ‘rev-ups’ make sense? Its this in response to a drop in flow temperature due to a zone coming on?

It doesnt make sense to me. the zone is on all day.

@gekkekoe Do you think I should increase my flow temp?

depends, first confirm that its cycling. You can plot feed and return temp, if the compressor drops to 0hz, and if at that point return temp > feed temp, then its cycling. But it sure looks like it.

Say its cycling, determine (@F1p solution should have calculated this for you) your output just before a dip output with:
output power = flow (L/m) / 60 * (feed - return temp) * 4.2
Compare your output against the databook and see what min output your heatpump has for current ambient temp. Since you did not specify the exact unit, we cannot lookup the min output.
But your output is probably very close to the min output during the dips.

Given the formula above, there are 2 parameters you can tweak
flow: increase pump speed → increase output (with other parameters unchanged)
feed temp: increase feed temp → increase output (with other parameters unchanged)

You can/need also to increase the consuming side (open more heating circuits if possible)

So what do the flow&return temperaures look like?
One thing i learnt a few months back is that the Ecodan algorythms reasses the minimum speed, and even it its trying to reduce the flow temperature, it will ‘reasses’ the minimum speed if the compressor discharge temperature indicates liquid in the suction pipe, it revs-up. Anyhow, not sure what can be done about that. Your cycling looks reasonable. any idea what the average kW output might be?

Thanks for using my solution :slight_smile:

You can get the output power under “Computed Output Power”
In addition, the Flow/Return temperature graph + Flow Setpoint would be helpful :slight_smile:

Are these defrosts or “Off” periods? If it’s defrost then this is normal (ish)

If you have FTC6 firmware 18.00 or around this, the unit does defrost more than required

Hello all!
Red is defrost yellow is off.
Here is the graphs you requested. Approximately 1.5kW around the cycling time.

Cheers!


My FTC6 Version is: 18.01. Can I update or move that in any way?

Thanks!

Haha it’s bad I can spot a 18.01 just by a graph now…!!
Yes it’s possible to update, will DM you

I think by looking it could be a mixture of both, auto adapt can be better at sorting this out if you have the controller placed in a good location - or consider a wireless thermostat

The controller is sadly at the warmest part of the house…
Could I possibly put it at a high temp lets say 24 and not worry about it?..
