within conservation area, MCS install or not
dpmiller replied to Post and beam's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
so do you have planning permission for the house in the drawings c/w a heat pump? If it was on the drawings them surely you have permission and must build in accordance with the drawings? -
any bleach been spilled in the area?

one's pretty for your living room, one goes in the garage? -
York Heatpumps - any experience?
dpmiller replied to Beelbeebub's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
^ and all this stuff is configurable in the better stuff (or in some cases likely uses fuzzy logic to get ahead of the game a wee bit) eg with CoolEnergy an overshoot temp can be added to the PID control, so that it has more time to ramp down power and is likely to do a hard shutoff. Conceivably this reduces reliance on a buffer. -
Why don't you say "tv antenna cable" is lesser quality @TonyT?

cheat the earth shutter and just shove the 2-pin straight in.

a fused spur outlet would be the job, if you can get one that matches

Tolerance in ASHP sizing? Drawbacks of oversizing?

Very easy to change the max speed on the CoolEnergy units. -
SOLIDO SMART Sewage treatment plant - discharging dirty water
dpmiller replied to ollie's topic in Waste & Sewerage
Is the settling period long enough? If the airlift is known good then it can only be taking liquor at the correct height/ depth. I'd say either it isn't settling for long enough or something is stopping it from settling. This could be biological perhaps -

I'd say all the "cheaper" ones have simple contact-closure inputs and only need their own controller for flow setpoint etc. Heck some even have that controller on the outdoor unit. All @Beelbeebub needs to do is man up and order a containerload of his choice direct from the chinaman and presto! 30 cheap and easy heatpumps... -
Cheap way to prevent boiler cycling
dpmiller replied to Crunchynut's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
Say you've never worked with an oil boiler without saying it. Nozzles block. With particulates, with varnish (inside and outside), with... water. The orifice size you're talking about here is tiny- smaller than a human hair sized- and it doesn't take much. Only 7bar doesn't help... Manufacturers don't need to mandate replacement as the engineer should know both by visual inspection and combustion analyser readings what the jet's like. Most just opt for annual replacement as a tenner on a nozzle saves callbacks... Again hoses are a liability thing. Do you want to deal with the aftermath of 1000 litres of oil in your kitchen/ founds/ back garden? Any kinks or rusting to the braid, or UV damage to a rubber outer, and I'll change it. Moreso if the user is dabbling in WVO/ bio-D/ sump oil mixes as all are more harmful to the rubber. -

The issue isn't manufacturing cost, it's price gouging en-route to the UK. -

@jon-leewho are you designing this for? Is it for yourself or a (paying) client? -

Rads with centre tappings and other questions

jig? vice? whaddya need that for...

If you can build a house, you can certainly take the ten minutes it takes to run a file over a chain. Perfection aint necessary- even if you're just taking the burrs off rather than sharpening as such it'll still improve things...

question is, are there thermal or solar differences too...
