HEAT PUMP SYSTEM DESIGN Where is a Heat pump suitable? Heat pumps can be fitted to both new or existing housing However the considerations vary widely depending on the property type and location As with any heating system, care should always be taken when specifying an air source heat pump Best practice recommendations should always be followed www.energysavingstrust.org.uk Very high insulation 9
HEAT PUMP SYSTEM DESIGN Sizing the heat pump Important factors Geographical location Size / type of building Construction materials Other heat sources Hot water requirement 10
HEAT PUMP SYSTEM DESIGN Sizing the heat pump Important factors MCS installer standard (MIS3005) Heat loss calculations (BS EN 12831) Geographical location Daikin Altherma Selection Software Energy and carbon savings 11
HEAT PUMP SYSTEM DESIGN Reduction in heat loss due to Improved insulation Scenario 1 90m2 semi-detached Unfilled cavity wall Single glazed windows <50mm loft insulation 0.7 air changer per hour 10.02kW heat loss Scenario 2 90m2 semi-detached Filled cavity wall Double glazed windows >75mm loft insulation 0.7 air changer per hour 4.72kW heat loss 56% reduction 12
Coefficient of Performance HEAT PUMP SYSTEM DESIGN Important notes about COP > Varies depending on operating conditions, e.g. ambient air temperature and design flow temperature > COP decreases with increasing flow temperature > It s important to use the right dimensioned heat emitter to maximise efficiency 13

Section 3 Installation best practice Competency Positioning MCS standard Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 16
INSTALLATION BEST PRACTICE Installer Competency and requirements Although every application is different, the installer must ensure that he is suitably qualified and competent in all aspects of the system design and installation. > Refrigeration installation > Hot water installation > Electrical Installation > MCS Accredited > Ensure the installer is traiined on product selected 17
Installation of outdoor unit Positioning INSTALLATION BEST PRACTICE When installing the outdoor unit, the following points should be considered: > Safe? > Access? > Discharge route? > Noise? > Drainage? 18
INSTALLATION BEST PRACTICE Key to a successful Air source heat pump project Ensure the properties are sufficiently insulated prior to considering installing a heat pump Consider the location of the outdoor unit Installer selection and training Ensure the heat pump is designed and installed to the current MCS standard Ensure radiators are correctly sized to the design running conditions of the heat pump Select a manufacturer who has a high efficiency heat pump for all weather conditions and will be low maintenance for future years Ensure heat pump is easy to control and is suitable for all life styles Education for both staff members and tenants in operation of heat pumps is vital to ensure a smooth project 19
