Sizing up 6k Solar PV, am I on the right track?
SteamyTea replied to magutosh's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
Was that buy a MCS installer, or a solicitor? -
I am using some Ronseal 2in1 Primer & Paint, Stays White. Stays white in the tin and only had it on woodwork since April.

That is interesting as it used to be the case that customers could not supply own modules, inverters yes, but not the modules. Worth checking on the MCS site about that. -
I have 're-timed' my E7 period to the last 3 hours. It has the added benefit of using the lower carbon period as well.
-
It is a combination of all the factors. It is why CoP is used, it is more useful as an overall measure.

Old cooling systems used to have a weir of cold water, this was cooled by a fan. It is these systems that caused Legionella, not modern ASHPs, or UVC. Though I am willing to start a rumour that unless you refuse to shower in water that has come from a UVC that has not been purged weekly, and kept above 65°, permanently, but only after extra chlorination, and only a rainstorm showerhead in use, you will get legionella. Oh, and the electricity to run it all will give you cancer (an unspecified one, but one must be caused by it). And not drying your bottom properly gives you piles. Showers, best avoided then. Not that I care, I am reheating rice, and we all know that is deadly.

Ah, I see, not had a telly since 1994. It has stopped me getting COVID.
-
They might. I don't though.

and then a large fan to whip up the surface into microscopic particles, of just the right size and temperature, that can then me sprayed over a small, but vunerable, group of people.

With chemistry sets for all the kiddies. We need a good chemist on here, physics is piss easy.

I am not offering to warm the bed up. Just breath heavily.

Never, unless you run the risk of running out of hot water. I am assuming that you have one of those UVC that heats incoming mains water via a coil in the cylinder. Do you worry about waterborne desease in your drinking water? The whole legonella thing is a different problem, more to do with airconditioning, not DHW. The H&E Executive have muddied the waters, uf you excuse the pun, by insisting that taps in large buildings get tested. I suspect this was a pacifier to a vocal minority, who had no idea what they are talking about.

Yhe cold, or relative humidity will nit give you pneumonia, that is an infection. So dont woery about that. There is a correlation between temperature, humidity and feeling overly hot or cold. As you are not a good sleeper anyway, try keeping the heating on permanently for a couple of nights. You will be no worse off, and you may be warmer.
-
Half way between what goes into the radiators/UFH/thermal store/UVC/Cylinder and what comes out. This is why I am starting to think that buffer tanks should always be fitted to heat pump systems. In the same vein, maximum power into the room will be the mean temperature between the slab/radiator and the desired temperature. Note this is power, and not energy.
-
Works in an ASHPs favour, the humidity is already reduced. Remember it is the mean of the temperature differences where maximum efficiency is delivered.
-
There are two temperature differences to take into account. The difference between the outside air temperature (and the enthalpy) and to cold side of the ASHP, then between the return temperature and the HP output temperature on the hot side. CoP is a rather crude method of combining the two as it only takes into account the low entropy electricity and the high entropy output. Oh look, enthalpy and entropy in the same paragraph, I never remember which is which.
-
Before that I seem to remember, you asked about it about 2011, over at the other place.

Only one place to post it, Mumsnet The more liberal arm of the WI

Not what I heard. I heard that he got called back to Porton Down to intergrate tracking into the latest vaccines, with a PIC microcontroller. You can tell you have got to his house, even in the dark, as the WiFi says GCHQ. And we all know he does not have a sense of irony. Or sarcasm for that matter.
-
I think there needs to be a distinction between being 'on' and 'running'. You can have it on, but if no call for heat, then it is not running, but you cannot have it running and off. Also, daytime, or more correctly daylight, hours are generally warmer than nightimes. So that has to be factored in. How long you been saying that, just adjust the time for between 1AM and 7 AM (just had letter from EDF about changes to times, but not till March 2023), and see if you have enough for a day. Bet you do.

Above my paygrade as well.

Um, interesting idea. Was this while they were secretly building a Mars rocket for SpaceX

Why I never use emojis, keep the bastards guessing. Thing is we know there are some people that know the reason he stopped posting, but they are keeping quiet. Not sure what they are protecting.

I still use them so that I can swear on here.
