Can I Have a Heat Pump
In the first episode after betatalk won the British Renewable Energy Awards communication category Nathan is joined by two of his favourite engineers Steve and Steve. Along for the ride is Dominic representing the consumer perspective but who ls has vast experience regarding heat loss measurement and building fabric.
Topics and themes discussed are do radiators need to bigger for heat pumps; pipe sizing for heat pumps e.g. can microbore be used for heat pumps.
Electric capacity for heat pumps is also discussed along with buffer types and sizes.
Both Steves talk about the solar thermal system designs and how winter sun is great for helping heat our homes.
Senior Steve also discusses how heat pumps can extract heat from a river or the sea.
It's a great episode this and we hope you gain some value from it.
