ESBE VRG130 & VRG230 Series Rotary Valve Overview (Includes VRG13X DHW Diverter Valve Setup)

Richard gives an overview of the ESBE VRG131 & VRG231 Rotary Valves for use with ARA600 Series Actuators.
In this video Richard talks about the main two types of ESBE rotary valve and the how they can both be used as hot water diverter valves on heat pump systems.
Please note, if setting up the VRG13X for mixing applications, please follow this video by ESBE instead, as it is not the same as setting up a VRG13X for DHW diverter valve application - • Install ESBE Actuator ...

Brilliant stuff. The more the merrier 😊 For such a high quality product, it seems bizarre that the Installation info is hard to access. Due to this, they're almost a Dark Art- which for Sales isn't a great concept. Back to using them:- It'd be good to learn about fitting the Mixing valves in groups, eg for UFH, Rads and Bathrooms. I've heard conflicting ideas as for the best design for such a scenario. Some saying, use 3 x Esbe valves, some say 2 x Valves (UFH & Rads) others just 1 x on the UFH

It all depends how many temperature zones you are creating and potentially what effect on efficiency it has. For instance a couple of high temp towel rads might mean you have to run elevated flow temps and mix all the other circuits. Consider electrifying towel rads and having the radiator circuit as your highest flow temp which then could now be unmixed. End of the day, efficiency shouldn’t be at the cost of comfort and vice versa.
