Renewable Energy
Our company renew the following ....
Air to Water Heat Pumps
Even cold air is full of energy and our Air Source Heat Pumps use the freely available heat in the ambient air to provide efficient heating and hot water at air temperatures as low as -25°C. And because we have relatively mild winter temperatures in the UK the heat pump will run with excellent efficiency.
To find out why an air source heat pump is the product for you take a look below, or you can phone us now on (put his number here). We'll give you the best solution and quote for your project.
Benefits of an Air Source Heat Pump
Your running costs can be dramatically reduced because 75% of the fuel required to heat your property will come free from the outside air.
Your CO2 emissions can be slashed by installing this eco-friendly form of heating. The carbon emissions of our air source heat pumps are nearly 40% lower than a gas condensing boiler.
Your main energy source, the air, is always available and inexhaustible and because of that you can be confident of heating your home at any time.
Relatively mild winter temperatures in the UK mean excellent levels of both efficiency and performance are achieved throughout the year.
The outside air can be used as the energy source between +35°C and -25°C all year round. This low -25°C figure can be a surprise to our clients, but it's true!
New build or retro fit applications are ideal for air source heat pumps, especially where space is limited. Our heat pumps can be used for a wide range of applications including heating, cooling, domestic hot water and swimming pools. Provides 100% of heating and domestic hot water demand (unlike many other renewable technologies).
Solar Heating
Solar heating converts the sun's power into heat for hot water, space heating, and swimming pools. Passive solar heating uses large windows to let in more light and warmth, while active solar heating uses specially designed mechanical systems to intensify the sun's heat for use indoors.
Ground Sourcing Pumps
1. A heat pump packaged unit: Water-Water (or Brine-Water) type. (approx. the size of a small fridge) containing a pair of cold-water (glycol) and a pair of heated-water connections.
2. The heat source which is usually a closed loop of plastic pipe containing a Glycol Antifreeze solution. This pipe is buried in the ground in vertical bore holes or horizontal trenches. The trenches take either straight pipe or coiled pipe, buried about 1.5 to 2m below the surface. A large area is needed for this.
3. The heat distribution system. This is either underfloor heating pipes or conventional radiators of large area connected via normal water pipes.
4. Electrical input and controls. The system will require an electrical input, three-phase being preferred, but single phase is perfectly adequate for most systems. A specialised controller will be incorporated to provide temperature and timing functions of the system.
This type of installation offers many advantages.
- The water-water (or antifreeze-water) heat pump unit is a sealed and reliable self contained unit.
- There are no corrosion or degradation issues with buried plastic pipes.
- The system will continue to provide the same output even during extremely cold spells.
- The installation is fairly invisible. i.e. no tanks or outside unit to see.
- No regular maintenance required.
