The SALUS TRV10RFM TRV is the latest innovation from SALUS that allows you to precisely control your radiator room heating to the exact temperature and from anywhere.
How is it Different?
Traditional Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV’s) have been used for many years to control temperature on radiators. They work on the principal of a wax element which expands and contracts with heat to push open or close the radiator valve. Although effective, they are also inaccurate as the temperature effect occurs right next to the radiator itself and has little bearing on the ambient temperature of the room. As such, traditional TRV’s generally have settings numbered 0-5 instead of actual temperature ranges. To change these settings the homeowner must be in the room to manually adjust the unit. Unsurprisingly this means that TRV’s often just stay on one setting despite the required temperature or room usage.
Smart Radiator Control replaces the traditional wax element with a smart electrical device to open and close the radiator valve. A thermostat with exact temperature settings in °C/F wirelessly controls the operation and is remote from the radiator so monitors the actual ambient room temperature to ensure heating accuracy. A single smart thermostat can even control several radiators in the same room or zone to maintain the desired room temperature and increase energy efficiency.
What are the advantages?
In addition to more accurate room heating, as the operation is electronic and not manual, the Smart Radiator Control adds a myriad of operational advantages compared to traditional TRV’s. Individual or grouped radiators can now be programmed to turn on and off, on timed schedules, when rooms are not being used, or when the temperature is at a certain level even independently of the main heating system schedule. Putting the Smart Radiator Control online through the SALUS Smart Home Gateway allows the homeowner to control even individual radiators from anywhere using a Smartphone, Tablet or PC via a simple app. Simply change settings to avoid heating a home unnecessarily whilst away but still ensure that everything is comfortable before returning. Groups or individual radiators can also be turned off or adjusted simply and quickly without having to visit each radiator to manually alter a TRV.
Adding other SALUS Smart Home devices to a system allows even more options and flexibility to Smart Radiator Control. These can be tailored exactly to the homeowners needs. Examples could be
- Turning off the radiators in a room where the window has been left open for 5 minutes
- Pressing a single button to remotely turn off all the radiators upstairs
- Turning off all radiators except one when the homeowner is unexpectedly out
- Ideal for automatic valve adaptation.
- Allows you to control a radiator within a zone.
- Internet controlled via PC, Smartphone or Tablet.
- Manual on/off buttons which can be locked in position.
- Simply replace your existing, passive head on the standard radiator valve.
- Frost, Open Window detection and Limescale protection functions.
- Up to 6 valves can be connected to one VS20 Thermostat used with the Universal Gateway.
- Personalised rules created and modified using the Smart Home app on your PC, Smartphone or Tablet.
- Battery powered/wireless allowing for quick and easy installation.
How do you Switch?
Updating from traditional manual TRVs to Smart Radiator Control, is in most cases, as simple as unscrewing the old control head and replacing with the Smart unit making the system perfect for retrofit as well as new installs. Smart Radiator Controls are battery operated and the interface to the Thermostat and to a Smart Home Gateway is wireless meaning that no additional wiring runs are required. Installing the Smart Radiator Control is a simple process through the SALUS Smart Home app which allows the user to quickly setup, configure and program the system.
Assistance from a heating engineer or other qualified person is recommended.
Please Note: In some older systems, it may also be advisable to also replace the radiator valve to ensure continued efficient
Delta (Δ) Ratings Explained
What is a Delta (Δ) Rating?
When discussing heat outputs, the Delta rating is the difference between the temperature of the water inside the heating system and the desired temperature of the room.
What does the value represent?
In simple terms, this value is about heat loss. Heating a room only works, if the radiator output exceeds the heat loss of the room.
We use this calculation to make it easy to choose a radiator that will have a heat output that exceeds the heat loss of the room when connected to your heating system type.
If you don't know the room heat loss, you can use our calculator to find out.
What Delta Rating should I use?
- Δ70 = Gas boilers before 2005 / Oil boilers before 2007.
- Δ50 = Gas boilers after 2005 / Oil boilers after 2007.
- Δ30 = Low temperature systems e.g heat pumps.
Watts & BTUs (British Thermal Units) Explained
What is a Watt?
Watts are our main unit of energy/power in the UK, commonly associated with lightbulbs and Home Energy performance certificates (EPCs).
What is a BTU?
BTUs are the unit of measurement used to portray a radiators heat output and a rooms heating requirement. 1 Watt is equal to 3.41 BTUs.
Why are they important?
We buy radiators to heat our homes, right? So, we need a way of knowing if a radiator is powerful enough to heat the room that we are shopping for - Watts and BTUs provide us with a value that makes its easier to compare radiators and ultimately choose the right one for our heating requirement.
Need help figuring out how much heat your room needs?
Our fast and easy-to-use BTU calculator can help you:
- Work out a heating requirement value (in BTUs & Watts) for your room
- Show you in-stock radiator recommendations that can fulfil this heat requirement
