That way, under light heating load, the flow can stay up a bit but at low temperature - avoiding the "rad cold but for a small (very) hot spot at one end" effect. Or depending on the setup, avoiding the noisy system pumping water round through the bypass because the stupid boiler design* can't cope with normal heating loads.

Damon,

Looks great, but

1 - Whats the actual room temperature doing
2 - Whats the scale along the bottom ? If it’s time in minutes, 00:15 to 00:23 then imho the valve is far too active ?
