As commercial and public sector organisations endeavour to reduce carbon emissions from their building stock through new build or retrofit projects, applying heat pumps as a core technology response has become increasingly common. However, the complexity and particular demands of delivering domestic hot water (DHW) systems for commercial properties with heat pumps are not without their challenges. This new hour-long CPD offered by Adveco is intended to lead consultants, specifiers and contractors through the methodology behind the correct design of air source heat pump (ASHP) based water heating.

Vince Ng, business development manager at Adveco said, “Attendees will learn how to minimise the size and maximise the efficiency of a heat pump-based hot water system. This is critical for reducing capital expenditure, lowering energy consumption and addressing environmental concerns, creating real, working, low-carbon hot water systems that customers will more readily accept.”

The CPD begins by outlining the differences between low-energy/high-storage systems used with air source heat pumps and traditional high-energy/low-storage hot water systems. Adveco then shows how to design heat pump-based preheat systems, comparing heat pump pre-heat and heat pump water heating systems, and exploring designing high-temperature heat pumps as water heaters.

Attendees will also gain insight into new refrigerants employed in commercial-grade ASHPs, and other heat pump technologies including CO2.

“Adveco is committed towards the continued growth of knowledge and experience of professionals in the commercial build and sustainability sectors,” Added Vince. “On completion of this CPD seminar attendees should gain an understanding as to why and how, through better system design, you can minimise the size of the ASHP to reduce outlay costs, maximise the efficiency of the ASHP to reduce energy consumption and be able to create systems based on a choice of mainstream, accessible and well-understood technologies.”
