Ecodan standby power consumption
SteamyTea replied to LA3222's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Fluttering your eyelids won't get you extra marks, did not help Angela Rainer. Did you make any assumption on the time to heat i.e. DHW heating for 5 hours, CH on for 14 hours. -
That can be a bit misleading though as they often only state at 3 temperature differences. i.e. 3.38 kW at OAT -7°C W at 35°C. 6kW at OAT 7°C W at 45°C, 9.51kW at OAT 12°C W at 35°C, or whatever. Makes comparison hard. What is really needed is three curves at least with the water output temperature fixed at maximum i.e. 65°C

May be a DC voltage as it is an inverter unit. -
Does that come out the same on the kelvin scale?

Not totally sure, it may act as an inductor, with thermal energy being a by product. @Radian would know more. -

Hopefully we will find out with a bit more investigation. How low could a compressor motor go in the power factor. 0.5 is appealing. -
Wonder if I can impress her with my chopper. I knew catering was the career for me once I had wasted 10 years at university studying energy.

No need, she has a local curry house already.

Blood then, do @pocster tells me. Not real palms, they are cordylines. Shall see if I can plant some as well. I grow my own canes, so that is taken care of. -

It is a derived unit, from the SI units for kilograms, metres and seconds. -
Heard this on way home. Seems quite apt at the moment. John Brown Bob Dylan When John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore His mama sure was proud of him He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all His mama's face broke out all in a grin "Oh son, you look so fine, I'm glad you're a son of mine You make me proud to know you hold a gun Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get And we'll put them on the wall when you come home" And that old train pulled out, John's ma began to shout Tellin' everyone in the neighborhood "That's my son that's about to go, he's a soldier now, you know" She made well sure her neighbors understood She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile As she showed them to the people from next door And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun And these things you called a good old-fashioned war Oh, good old-fashioned war Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come They ceased to come for about ten months or more Then a letter finally came saying, "Go down and meet the train Your son's a-coming home from the war" She smiled and went right down, she looked everywhere around But she did not see her soldier son in sight But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last When she did she could hardly believe her eyes Oh, his face was all shot up and his hand was all blown off And he wore a metal brace around his waist He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know While she couldn't even recognize his face Oh Lord, recognize his face "Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done How is it that you come to be this way?" He tried his best to talk as his mouth could hardly move And the mother had to turn her face away "Don't you remember, Ma, when I went off to war You thought it was the best thing I could do? I was on the battleground, you were home acting proud You wasn't there standing in my shoes" "Lord, I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here? I'm a-tryin' to kill somebody or die tryin' But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close And I saw that his face looked just like mine" Oh Lord, just like mine "And I couldn't help but think, through the thunder sound and stink That I was just a puppet in a play And through the roar and smoke, this string is finally broke And a cannonball blew my eyes away" As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock Seein' the metal brace that helped him stand But as he turned to go, he called his mother close And he dropped his medals down into her hand

Back in 1999 I was stopped in the street and asked if I knew what 24/7 meant. I had know idea, but my partner did. They did the shopping. How about 24/7/52 Or is that a birthday. Small list: https://famouspeople.astro-seek.com/famous-birthdate/24-july-1952 -

Is that acid so strong it has eaten all the LHS stones. Or is it the Acid House that has vibrated them off.

If you get 10 m³/hour (divide by 3,600 to get flow in seconds) of flow and the head is 1 metre, then you have a maximum of very little.

I have emailed someone who looks into all this sort of vampire loads and energy usage. Shall see what he can find out as he has a bit more industry clout than me. -
Newbie looking for inspiration and ideas for 7 acres of land
SteamyTea replied to Doug82's topic in Introduce Yourself
Welcome I am currently sitting in mid Bucks, but used to know North Bucks well. There are a load of new grants available for tree planting. Worth looking up. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tree-planting-and-woodland-creation-funding-and-advice Or run a camp site on it. Friend of the family bought some crap land in Wales. Allowed the Scouts to use it for summer camps, than got permission to build a toilet block, then a 'storage centre'. Now it is that Barry Island holiday park. -

Am I right in thinking that normal electrical meters don't log anything below 0.5 Wh. -
Yep, same old record. When you hit on a winning formula, why change. I chose my own clothes back in the 1970's, stuck with them though all the cyclical fashion fad. Same with my kitchen. Been the bees knees at least twice now.

To my mind, reducing parasitic loads is vital for reducing energy usage. Why I worked so hard on doing it. -

May have a trip down to the ASHP training centre and see what they know about it. Certainly makes choosing a manufacturer a bit easier, strike Mitsubishi off the list.
