Nor me, but must have seen something odd about it to remember.

I have taught enough overseas students to pick up the odd thing that is different.

I know, I have eaten there, was alright.

Floordrobe is best.

TV, isn't that short for transvestite. Cool, hope it has a built in webcam for those all import Zoom calls. I like this one, could watch all of Farage's speeches and feel very patriotic. I hope that is not a foreign plant in the corner.

Heating (and cooling) is not linear. As the store temperature rises, so do the thermal losses. This means that there is less power difference (set by T0 - T1) on the input side, and the transfer area, which is fixed. T=Tₐ-Ce⁻ᵏᵗ
-
Would need to thermally model it, then statistically model it in the thermo-temporal domain, then verify against the alternative configurations. But would probably be faster to just swap any pipes around.

I used to work in the health and leisure industry as a manufacturer and installer. We did everything except swimming pools. There were reasons for that.

Now go back and see what capacity factors I was comparing, before you get all high and mighty.

To building regs minimum or better?

Have you got your self build Community Infrastructure Levy exception in place (if your local authority has one). Cooling a building is the same as heating one. Work out the heat gains and the temperature differences, and that is the size of system needed. The rest is detail, i.e. condensation risk, slab or forced air.

Are you just restating what I said? Numbers are for the feeble minded remember, you can sort all the worlds problems out with words and made up scenarios if it suits you beliefs better.

That is just mothballed, there will be some on standby, either at spinning reserve or hot spinning reserve, so not so bad. We could also, if need, convert some old coal fired places, that have not been fully decommissioned yet, to biomass. There is also a lot of standby diesel generation. But a word of caution. That is installed capacity, not generation, so not directly comparable to nuclear, which has a very good capacity factor. A GW of nuclear is probably worth 2 GW of wind, to be on the safe side.

Should really convert that to kilograms, then it is pressure and temperature independent. PV/T =C

There are three aspects to how the air part of an ASHP work. One is the relative difference between the cold side of the HP and the external air. Two is the amount of air moved. Three is the chances of the external radiator frosting/freezing up, that is related to humidity. The amount of specific energy in air is pretty fixed at the temperatures they work at in the UK (there is a slight drop as the temperature drops, but not much, about 0.8PPM over 60K https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-specific-heat-capacity-d_705.html). What can happen is the if the ASHP is running at close to full capacity when highly water saturated air hits the cold side, it can freeze, this both impedes the airflow and insulated the fins. This is why there is a defrost system built in. This uses little energy in the scheme of things, so not worth worrying about in a correctly sized system. The most likely temperature to cause freezing is not 0°C (273.2K), but ~4°C as this is when water is at its most dense, so there is more to condense out than at 0°C or below. As @Iceverge points out, they shift a lot of air, so location i.e. sun or shade, makes no real difference. Fit them where there is good airflow and the external pipework/wiring is short. Don't try to run an ASHP at its highest rated temperature, that is like driving a car at top speed all the time, it will end in problems (I suspect a gas or oil boiler would break, if it was run 24/7 at full rated power, fairly quickly). If you get into calculating thermal efficiencies, they stop using the celsius scale and use the kelvin scale, the kelvin scale is a truer model of the kinetic energy of air molecules, and there is no minus temperatures to fool you.

I am very impressed with my Russell Hobbs one. RH601H401B. I did not do too much research, just landed lucky. was one of the cheapest from AO as well. Yes it is. Was from Aldi. I went into the store to buy one for my boss, they did not have any there. Asked and they said they come and go, so still made, just not on the shelves at the moment.

Come back in 4 to 5 years time and show us you were right. Otherwise you are talking horseshit.

But PV can produce effective power for a greater part of the year, and in lower light levels.

It is too fa from the sea to get a proper view.
