Your calculation of 13W per sqm fits well with what I found at 14W. So if I require 14W/m2 and the floor area is 179m. 179x14 = 2505. Does that mean I need a 2.5kw heat pump? There are 9 wall mount... | ||

@cbrenewable Hi, the graphs from Mel pump would be good. Can you draw your system, have you got a low loss header? or are you directly piped into the house on one big circuit with one pump? | ||

That sounds exactly what I’m after thanks, I’m hoping to have the ASHP directly outside of the plant room so 2 75mm pipes straight through the wall, any thoughts on spacing and height from the ground?... | ||

@trebor12345 Hi. What is it you are still trying to solve/understand. I will see if I can help. Definitely that is a 4 port buffer. | ||

@CBrenewable A COP of 2.4 is definitely low and you are right to be concerned. You should be seeing 4 or better at present. Can you tell us something about the house (floor area, construction), Ar... | ||

@cbrenewable Your COP does appear very low and if you don’t have a buffer that rules out one possible cause. The only thing that stands out as unusual is your DT which I would expect to be a bit highe... |
