The Design Sequence: What Happens Before Plant is Sized

Sign Up for CPD This article is the second in a series on peak demand in electrified heating systems. The first – Peak Demand and the Shift to Storage-Led Design – made the case for storage-led energy centre design. This one goes further back: to the decisions that determine how much peak demand a storage […]

Peak Demand and the Shift to Storage-Led Design

Sign Up for CPD This article forms part of a series. The previous article is Why the industry is moving towards second generation heat pumps. The System Constraint eak energy demand is shaping the economics of heat electrification in the UK. As buildings transition away from gas to fully electric plantrooms, synchronised heating patterns risk […]

Why the industry is moving towards second generation heat pumps

Download Datasheet Heat pump deployment in the UK is accelerating rapidly, but much of the equipment in use today is still shaped by cooling-led design assumptions inherited from first generation heat pumps. These first generation heat pumps typically operate at low temperature differences (∆T), rely on constant flow, and require heating systems to adapt around […]
