  1. Strange that, as they listed this building. Was up in Bucks last Sunday.
  2. You got one right. FFS
  3. 800 robots replacing 24,000 workers. I think automation of heat pumps is with is. This from 5 years ago.
  4. Rapid aging testing. A lot of these chemistries have been around for decades. I was making tooling for Parker Knoll furniture 35 years ago, some of those cushions are still good, and fire proof as well. We also made the dashboard tooling for a few cars, not many fell apart, though the Landrover ones did, and their seats had a plasticiser that caused cancer, of your nut. I did my apprenticeship at a company that made destructive testing machines.
  5. There are modern adhesives that will easily last 50 years, and allow for movement. Then you also have the tyvek type wraps that help. It is all down to detail though.
  6. Back to the problem. Why not just fit a VCL on the inside of the inner leaf? (leaf is such a stupid term for a wall). That way, vapour is stopped before it gets to anything. Then all there is to worry about is wind driven rain, gutter/roof/cavity leaks and general poor workmanship.
  7. I am not sure you can. One way to test this is is isolate the T and SA storage and plug a couple of heavy loads on. Then turn on the T and see what happens, then try the same with the SE, then a combo of the two. Doubt you are currently getting full generation, and if you are, the rain is on its way.
  8. I would have thought so, but as you have multiple inverters/charge controllers, is it a case of your voltage rising too much and that limiting the inverter. and it is kW you (expletive deleted)ing (expletive deleted).
  9. So is your mind. Draw up a circuit diagram. A lot of it will depend where the generation(s) load(s) and inverter/charge controllers are.
  10. Are you talking just the UK, or even the English marketplace, or globally? Too true. But as Gordon Ramsey shows, you can always improve productivity by shouting, belittling and bullying the workforce, and then offer them a zero hour contract. Works every time.
  11. I suspect the biggest driver was property prices. Was much cheaper to develope 100 hectares in the old Eastern Block than it was to redevelop an existing site in the west. HP are very suitable for automation. Let's face it, robotics are so cheap now, there is no need to employ people.
  12. I don't, others might.
  13. Just a VCL. One has to be fitted somewhere, not that is the easiest place. Wall ties will (expletive deleted) it up.
  14. Our @DamonHD is the man to chat to. He did similar in his place. improving airtightness in a 70s place will make a huge difference.
  15. Have you ever wondered why it is yellow?
  16. Not surprising that it hits the upper voltage limit when the modules and inverter are that mismatched.
  17. What makes you think they may be copies? There is a lot of badge engineering.
  18. Are the walls the same construction? May be a problem with them, rather than the paint i.e. damp and cold.
  19. Yes. You spent some of it on knowing the difference between power and energy. Shame the rest of the comments have the two mixed up. If the difference was learnt, and understood. There would be no need to ask this question. It is not being picky about units. It is fundamental to the problem and answers the question.
  20. They are French Fries.
  21. Between 15 and 60 ACH, anb the air leaving is not at 22⁰C like a house. Last night we were at a very pleasant 30⁰C. In a month, probably high 40s.
  22. Last weeks news, this weeks chip wrapper.
  23. I am always amazed how little fat there is in our extraction system. The baffles on the ranges seem to do their job, even though they seem very basic in design and are probably not really designed, more guessed at. We probably though away 40 MWh of energy a night though the extractor.
  24. It is always worth checking a products name. From now on I shall call it the kiddy findler. Le Pedo, my arse.
