Meeting Exceptional Loads

The graph belo is a site of 150 HIUs on a Heatweb remote management system. At three times in the day we have told the system to turn off all central heating in order to focus all boiler output on current DH load and on recharging the buffer store.

The load is interrupted for 5 minutes, making no difference to comfort levels, but providing a virtual 1500 litres of additional storage.
