Runtal Flat Panell Will Changing Traditional HW Radiators To Flat Panel (Runtal VLX) Cause Boiler To Cycle More Often?

Will changing traditional HW radiators to flat panel (Runtal VLX) cause Boiler to cycle more often? - runtal flat panell

We envisage the replacement of a gravity HW system radiator heating, low-profile flat panel (Runtal) (we moved to a new boiler and is) a pump. My concern is that a much smaller flat panel displays since the mass and volume of water, the boiler and the pump is on and off frequently. In general, anything mechanical, often cycle on and off more quickly exhausted.

We exchanged an old radiator with a flat and found (despite the BTU output is expected to be placed in the hall by a representative of Runtal.) The room was hot like never before with the masses of the radiator.

I'm looking for confirmation on the issue of equipment life, and that the energy change is also less effective at the endcient than the old system more mass (assuming that the high efficiency boilers and furnaces for both).

I think you need a person very familiar with HVAC systems, including hot water. This is a very detailed question, Runtal and HVAC contractors must be considered represented, too.
Are you sure that you can use the system panels flat on the severity of a HW? Can you mix and match? Can you design a high efficiency boiler and pump pipes for gravity hw?
