Very interesting, Trystan. I’ve been playing with this all week and it seems to match [my system](https://heatpumpmonitor.org/system/view?id=1) quite well.

I calculate I have a total radiator output of **16,655 W** , and the app gives me figures around there.  
Some of my radiators have fans fitted to them, and I estimate they increase output by _25%_ on those radiators, taking the total output to **18,000 W**.

This morning started with 2 of the radiator fans not running (17,000W), and switched on at 6am. You can maybe see the effect they had on [this heating cycle](https://emon.cryosphere.co.uk/app/view?name=AirSourceHeatPump&readkey=bb72ba957b02fecf8fb85fb1d2868782&mode=power&start=1700106950&end=1700119570), as the flow temperatures drop in the second half when the fans turn on.

In the flat bit before 6am, **16.8 kW** @ DT50. After the fans turn on the reported size is **18 kW**.

The indoor temp I’m been using is pretty coarse though; I have an alternate feed I might try that gives average house temp, see if that give better numbers.

The estimated volume seems to be about 130 litres. I have no idea if that’s right.
