What is needed is a standard that incorporates the existing standards. Or in other words, an extra standard.

ASHP, Just an outdoor fridge ?
SteamyTea replied to Post and beam's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Refrigerant gas compressors, the major component of a heat pump, probably are made in larger numbers than gas boilers. Both our main cars have them, though mine does make some strange noises sometimes. -
Artisan cheese is often made with grubs.

ASHP, Just an outdoor fridge ?

With regards to cost, surely we need to look at the unit energy prices. My fridge takes, on average, about 12 W, so 105 kWh a year. The temp difference is about 15K. Surface area about 2.5 m². So each m² is allowing 42 kWh/m² though. At a cost of £100, and so far 6 years trouble free service, that is £6.66/m². Now my house with a wall of U-Value 1.5, and the same ∆T of 15 K, takes about 2 MWh of energy to heat a year, so spreading that over the whole year, and the 100 m² of heat loss area. That works out at 20 kWh/m². So roughly half the performance of my fridge needed. So the price for an ASHP should be somewhere around £3.33/m². £2000 for the unit only, if it lasts 6 years. Seems the price is comparable. (I am sitting in a cafe, so my numbers may be bollocks, lots of 'summer distractions') -
Is that because the grub screws on both handles are not tightened down to the shaft?

You need some blocking diodes. Everything s put right with a pocket full of diodes.

How do PV sales people describe how they work. Do they say they create a black hole. -

Or PV/T = C Where: P = Pressure V = Volume T = Temperature C = Is Constant Or, a picture -

Octopus Smart Meter Display suddenly showing export rate

Just checked my account, seems I am £0.75p in credit. No sign of 400 quid in my account, but new bill is due end of August. -

That would be a cooker. -
What energy rating is your HW cylinder?
SteamyTea replied to Adsibob's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
That will be 0.021 Wh then. 0.5 kWh a day. So somewhere between 3.5p and 17p per day. Or £13 to £62 a year. -

I did from my big standard 1987 era E7 200lt cylinder. About 20p a day when heated to 65⁰C. Lot less now it is at 45⁰Cish, and I use most of it just after it has reached max T. -
