It will be interesting to see how well it does back calculating a burner output. I reckon if it can give an idea of the losses (2.063kw actual V's 2.4kw rated consuption) those losses could be chased and hunted down like varmints.
With a real world calculator you could work out if a change was an improvement and by how much. And like you say, great for working out efficencies in insulation on an electric pwered boiler.
Good work mate, can't wait till the stig gets it up.
Sorry stig, thats not what I meant.
Cant wait till the stig gets it uploaded. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Like S&L mentioned, the key for a burner will be having a repeatable system. So same burner position, boiler height above, reg setting (by pressure if possible) etc. If you suss the pressure settings you could then start to tweak things like shroud positions and/or insulation.
Obviously a lot easier for electric, then main thing I like about this is the boiler heat-up estimation. It will take a bit of the guess work out of how long to wait, especially when you have different volumes and initial temperatures.
