"Systems balancing" and "Hydronic balancing" sounds fishy to me. Can you explain your trade a little bit?

An "air balance" is a useful process for measuring the performance of a simple or complex hvac system, and for providing the occupants with a comfortably conditioned space.

Hydronic balancing is like a colonic irrigation for radiators! Well nearly anyway.

No fish involved
Hydronic , fancy word for water
Yes, measuring water flow in rads, coils, and pumps

Congrats on the new truck. I thought you had done a factory order for the 2WD?

After about 1200 km avg is 15.7 l/100 km probably 2 litres better
The rise is much better

^^ Obviously that truck had gone through a few Timmi's and Mac drive thru already.

The truck is 4 years old , about 110,000km still averaging 15-16 l/100km
The only work done on the truck has been oil changes
