You could always just send it in and wait for the list of questions?

Little things put a massive smile on my face sometimes
dpmiller replied to ToughButterCup's topic in Lighting
yes, I've seen'em. More of an issue with 222s I thought. Can't see me needing them for anything other than lighting circuits tho so I'll happily risk an amp passing through. /now the ones that come with cheapo lights, that look like chokblocks with release buttons on? Purest kelp. Wire isn't caged within the terminal so you're reliant on the plastic to keep the pring pressure up. Naff. -

got a kit of chinesium clone 221s and they're very good. -
Never come across this before https://www.greentherm.ie/product/greentherm-300-litre-combined-cylinder/ 300l-sized mild steel TS but with an internal 80l stainless vessel for DHW. Had a yarn with one of the fellas from Greentherm yesterday, querying recovery, losses etc but he didn't have much info. How would the flow and recovery of this compare to a conventional TS with a coil? 80l stored at constant temp vs a DHW coil... What happens when you're drawing off? Sure there'll be 80l but (noting that CW is fed to the bottom of the DHW vessel) can the stored body reheat the DHW in real time?

IVT Ecolane ASHP - any owners out there?
dpmiller replied to readiescards's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
funny I had a chat a while back with someone at CoolEnergy.... I asked if they had plans for a smaller inverter and the response was pretty much it's pointless as there's no real efficiency difference. Umm? -
I think a number of different controllers have been used over the years,perhaps a quick call to ESP would get you the info you require?

just for confirmation yes, the only thing to see the Megger was the Compressor. another angle- before getting a fridge man to pull a vacuum to dry off the system might it be worth heating the compressor housing (hairdryer or heatgun) and retry startup with it hot? -
I've got to ask the question. Has anyone seen a commercial kitchen with a downdraft extractor?

Wonder if the compressor has now failed sufficiently that the inverter is chosing not to drive it... -

And what does your magic book say 08 is? -

OK so standard resistance checks cold gave 30M plus for each of the mains-connected portions of the unit. As nothing obvious appeared we fired it up and it went through initialisation, started the fan, stepped the expansion valves and then there were a couple of faint buzzes from the inverter. No shudder, hum, or anything else from the compressor. After this, the multimeter showed 25k from the compressor windings to chassis. I threw the megger on it at this point and the needle was off the scale. Very leaky. -
Have you any idea what portion of your £80k is actually for laying blocks? How any sqm is the house? What is the roof and FF construction?

used AVG for quite a while and it went through a very slow and laggy phase. Currently (three or four years?) using Panda Free and can't fault it.

Temporary heat source for UFH: Willis heaters
dpmiller commented on oranjeboom's blog entry in Kentish RenoExtension
The only issue I can see is getting enough flow from the willis into the manifold, it's certainly something I had to work with. The heat source generally has it's own pump pushing into the manifold... The 'stat in the immersion has a fairly broad hysteresis. You'll probably have to go a fair bit higher than 25 to get it to stay on. Likewise your mixer may not be incredibly sensitive.- 159 comments

80k *labour only* to throw up a few thousand block? Yikes. Where did they get that from?

Making good the edges of a screeded floor

well that's OK then, pour away! -

is there an expansion foam round the perimeter? -
yep, pretty sure there's an insert under the cap.

No reason for an inverter to leak as such, the compressor windings and any mains suppressor/filter are more likely culprits. Followed by solenoid valve coils, fan motors etc.. If you can't find anyone that'll have a go give me a shout and I'll see if I can get down. -
go a couple of inches of poured screed over the chipboard.

That looks like the 200Hz peak is going to making a fairly obvious drone. What speed is the motor?
-
daisy-chained panels could be linked out just with a short M-F cable. Personally I'd be more worried about the resistance of all your extra cabling and connections if bringing all the DC lines to a single point.

strong enough for expanding anchors and shot firing?
