Thermo dynamics for hot water that runs off atmosphere

[The Solar King]

2.5 is the minimum level that is recognised as renewable heat under EU standards. It is worth referring to MCS data on heat emitters which may also add clarity. The results of the Domestic RHI consultation will be published quite soon which should give a clearer picture of what will be required in terms of qualification.

So if I install hight temp heat pump before the consultation finishes the customer will still benifit from the RHI ?

I have one of these Thermodynamic water heater system,*Heat pump mechanism - AIR MACHT
Not this make but from a different EN61215 manufacturer.
It has been sitting in a container for over a year but I am going to install it in my storage unit and replace the existing immersion tank. The ideal situation would be taking the air from a kitchen or bathroom and exiting the air into the home for cool dry air. A computer room would have been ideal!
I do not expect this unit to save me lots of money but it will be tested for efficacy. There is a better version with twin coils which can be connected to a thermal panel. If it can be run off an off grid set up the it has a place in my plans with the thermal attachment but in a slightly better climate.

The first real live data from the Thermodynamic system from Energie can be found here LVP Thermodynamic solar Panels - Page 4 - boards.ie

You may find it interesting and revealing. I think the recovery time if it ever gets really cold will be knocking on 24 hours!

Sorry that EN reference is PV! It actually has EN255-3 1997 for Heat pumps.

I suppose it could be possibly for them to be certified once MCS have got their act together. Don't know if this would be legit or not, but then I doubt anyone else would know this including MCS, but I reckon they'd be on dodgy grounds legally to refuse it.

Has anyone looked at the figures, typical house can earn upto £15000 in the the 7 year period at the higher rate

where's that from?

can't be right for hot water only as it's about 10 times the figure for solar water heating.

Space heating and hot water 10kw heat loss in 2 bed bungalow running at 45 degrees

 

[jason121]

sorry 10,000 at higher rate

 

[Gavin A]

is that really how much a heat pump will get back over 7 years from RHI?

That seems a hell of a lot.
