Sizing radiators for condensing boilers

Thanks for reply. If condensing boilers only condense when return water is 55C or less then I thought that rads should be selected with flow=70C and return=50C. This downrates radiator output, mean water temperature is lower, the required radiators are larger, but hopefully the condensing boiler can...

Sizing radiators for condensing boilers

My understanding is that boiler does not condense until return water temperature is less than 55C. So for a boiler which serves hot water cylinder and radiators, should radiators be sized on 80-55 delta T? 80C to ensure DHW tank gets up tp 65C reasonably quickly, or could this be reduced to say 70C?...
