RE: Midea ASHP – how to set weather compensation
By JamesPa, 6 days ago |

OK that's great. 3000l = 30MWh. This corresponds, almost certainly, to a loss between 10kW and 15kW. I would probably ask the installer to produce the fabric parameters fed into the program. You ca... | ||

You have in a way touched on the essential difference between WC and room stat based control: the former is continuously variable between X and Y (the limits of the curve), while the latter is on/off.... | ||

@jamespa Ok I have now found all my old oil orders and over a 7 year period, the average amount ordered was 2900 litres. The installer assumed an average of 3000 litres in the scope document. The hous... | ||

@pash44pump Ok that's a bit concerning. Is the difference down to the fact the as built spec for the building departs from the design spec? If so it's possible that the ufh is not adequate (althoug... | ||

So now I have completed my heat loss calculations and I get a total property heat loss of 12502 against the installer's calculations of 8610. I have used 2006 building regs for all ACH numbers (0.7). | ||

(a) The thermostat will work only if you exceed the desired temperature (in case WC does not work properly), to save you money. (b) if you want independent control in each room, you have to install th... | ||

WC is more stable because it modulates the inverter and thermostat based control has, currently, on-off behavior. It is not the information that is wrong, it is the way it is used. This is my point: t... | ||

@jamespa I woke up this morning (at 4.45am!) thinking about exactly that and I have been looking into the ACH numbers on the Freedom Pumps xls. To me a number of 1.5 x per hour for ACH in a living roo... | ||

Blunt answer? The 20-year-old gas system was failing, and I had two choices: spend 60% less on a new gas boiler system (we were planning to upgrade the radiators anyway), or take the plunge wit... | ||

RE: Heat Pump SCOPs – The Truth Might Not Be What You Think
By DREI, 7 days ago |

You can even go as low as 40c flow temp, if you want a high SCOP, as long as your radiators are sized correctly and you use the correct desired room temp, nothing is impossible. I don't think you will... | ||

A heat pump is only as good as the desired room temperature. Bearing in mind that optimal room temperature for cognitive function sits between 21 and 24 degrees, with average around 22/23 degrees. 45 ... |
