AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS

Air source pumps serve as an alternative way to heat your home, you will save money on your energy bills. Air Source Heat pumps can save you more money on your heating bills than electric, oil, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) or coal system, rather than gas. The flats have been well- insulated to keep the heat that the pump is generating.

How does an air source heat pump work?

The air source heat pumps will be placed outdoors on the flat roof. It takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a heat pump. The pump needs electricity to run, but it should use less electrical energy than the heat it produces. Take a look at our graphic below for a visual representation of how an air source heat pump functions.

Air source heat pumps

An ASHP works a bit like a refrigerator in reverse. The process consists of an evaporator, a compressor and a condenser. The ASHP absorbs heat from the outside air into a liquid at a low temperature, then the heat pump compressor increases the temperature of that heat. In the condenser, the hot liquid’s heat is transferred to your heating and hot-water circuits warming up your home.

Air-to-water heat pumps

These take heat from the outside air and feed it into your wet central heating system. As the heat produced is cooler than that from a conventional boiler, you will have larger radiators and underfloor heating in your home to make the most of it.

Costs saving

Are air source heat pumps efficient?

An air source heat pump system can help to lower your carbon footprint as it uses a renewable, natural source of heat – air. The amount of CO2 you’ll save depends on the fuel you are replacing. For example, the figure will be higher if you are replacing electric heating rather than natural gas. A heat pump also requires a supplementary source of power, usually electricity, to power the heat pump, so there will still be some resulting CO2 emissions. Heat pump energy labels Regulation means that heat pumps have to have an energy label on them. The label gives information about the energy efficiency of the pump, and rates products from dark green (most efficient) to red (least efficient). Since 26 September 2015, all new heat pumps must be sold with an EU product label. The installer should also produce a package label that displays the efficiency based on several different components in the heating system. After 25 March 2016, all heat pumps certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme must be sold with a product label, and the installer must produce a package label. If your heat pump is not sold with a product label, it may not be eligible for the RHI.

FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

Fire sprinkler systems are the most effective of all fire systems on the market. A sprinkler system works by being connected to a water supply which provides adequate water flow to achieve enough pressure to saturate or control a fire. Historically, fire sprinkler systems were only used within large commercial premises, but in the modern day residential sprinkler systems can be installed at cost-effective prices.

Sprinklers have been used as a fire prevention instrument in the UK since 1812 when the world’s first sprinkler system was installed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London. The US started using sprinklers in 1874 after numerous catastrophic fires caused huge loss of life and large property damage in factories across the country.

Sprinkler systems have become increasingly popular due to their ability to prevent loss of life and minimise damage to property and the surrounding environment. A typical sprinkler is encased by a heat sensitive glass bulb or a metal link adjoined by a fusible alloy. The bulb or link applies pressure to a pip cap that prevents water escaping until the threshold temperature reaches activation point. In a standard system each sprinkler activates one-by-one as the heat threshold is reached at each location point. This means that maximum water pressure can be allocated to the affected area rather than sprinklers operating unnecessarily in safe areas of the building.

The Purpose of Fire Sprinkler Systems

Generally there are two types of sprinkler system designed to either control or suppress fire.

A control node sprinkler controls the heat of a fire to prevent building collapse and major structural damage. With this type of sprin- kler the idea is control rather than command a complete halt to the fire. The fire will not be fully extinguished until the fire service arrive and completely suppress the fire.

Suppression node sprinklers offer a complete extinguishment and react aggressively to the rising heat rate of the fire. In the majori- ty of node sprinkler instances the fire has been eliminated before the fire service has arrived.

Dispelling a Popular Fire Sprinkler System Myth

One popular myth is that sprinklers do a lot of damage to a building when activated. In truth, sprinkler systems cause less damage than a fire service hose stream. A fire service also takes approximately five minutes to arrive at the scene of a fire whereas a fire sprinkler system activates between one and four minutes after a fire starts. A fire service also requires time to set up equipment (up to ten minutes). The longer you wait to extinguish a fire the more water is required; therefore less water is typically used by the activation of a sprinkler system than that by a fire service.

Fire Sprinkler System Installation

Waiting for a fire service can result in a much larger fire, loss of life and extensive damage to your property. Fire sprinkler systems provide you and your family with a much higher percentage chance of escaping a fire unhurt and experiencing far less damage to your property.

Fire sprinkler system installation is a specialist job that must be undertaken by a certified professional with extensive experience of fire safety.
