Automatic balancing valves are the best option for these types of systems. Once installed, they optimize the system under all possible loads by controlling the differential pressure. In combination with pre-setting valves ensuring the correct flow through each radiator, and floor heating loop or cooling Terminal Unit, the system is optimized.

MYSON offer a selection of automatic bypass valves to complement our range of heating valves. Our automatic by-pass valve is designed for use in domestic central heating systems and is available in either an angled or straight version. Its purpose is to maintain constant pump pressure and flow rate within the system. You have a manual gate valve. (lockshield) it will be set in one position and will let water bypass all the time. You can replace with a 23mm bypass and get compression reducing sets for each end or danffoss make a15mm version. Danfoss Randall Avdo15 Auto By Pass Valve 15 Mm - BHL.

Dominator
The Crane Fluid Systems Dominator Z3000 flow management system for fan coils has improved on the traditional practice of connecting individual valves and pipework.
15mm Auto Bypass Valve Gasket
The Dominator is a very compact combination of valves, incorporating a patented bypass valve unit comprising two T-ported ball valves, that dispenses with all the connecting pipework. This innovation dramatically reduces the space needed, allowing a much faster and more compact connection. There is also the added risk-free advantage of using a factory-tested component of known performance.
Features & Benefits
- Flow management system for fan coil units
- Combines the essential control components and connecting pipework into one compact, fully assembled unit ready to connect
- The Z3000 is compact and lightweight
- The bypass valve unit comprises two T Ball valves
- The strainer unit has integral filter and pressure test point, plus drain cock/vent facility
- Balancing valve is of proven high quality and accuracy

After balancing round 1 (a differential thermometer with 2 pipe clamps
certainly makes this quicker!), I have 10-12 across all rads more or
less at a flow to rad of 56C (boiler indicates more like 65C internal).
Fiddling with the bypass, it seems to start shunting big time at a bit
under 0.4bar - so I have set it a smidge over.
The plan is now to turn the boiler down to about 55C flow - I have
oversized the rads as far as possible with a low flow temperature (and
spare in a really cold winter) in mind.
Think I'll have to go around one more time in a couple of weeks.
Next problem - it's bloody hot upstairs and there are no radiators.
But there is about 50-70m of exposed pipework!!!
It's been quite tightly run (linked Talon clips) and I cannot get 13mm
thick insulation on it. So I'm off to peruse the Internet for either
some thinner tube, or I'll have to box it in (and be damned if the flow
heats the return a bit).
Overall - very happy. I have boiled everyone half to death running it
flat out all day. That is very nice - this house has never been this warm :)
