2 2 Green Gateway Initiative The Green Gateway Initiative is a bold and ambitious 10-point plan that points the way to a reduction of over 3 million tonnes of CO2 per year, by That s the equivalent of removing 830,000 cars from the UK s roads. The Stern Report has highlighted the catastrophic danger to businesses of ignoring climate change and we need to recognise that this is a challenge that involves us all. If we are to meet this challenge and get anywhere near the targets for emissions reductions that the Government has set then we need to look at more energy efficient ways of providing the comfort levels for our buildings that modern life (and increasing legislation) demands. Anyone involved in this industry- architects, developers, consultants, building services specifiers, installers, and equipment manufacturers, needs to find ways to provide modern, comfortable internal environments, in the most energy efficient and sustainable way possible.

9 9 The Ecodan Heat Pump

10 10 The Ecodan Heat Pump! What is a Heat Pump? Benefits of a Heat Pump The Ecodan Packages

11 11 The Heat Pump System A heat pump harvests low grade heat energy for free and delivers it where it is useful The heat is upgraded using the vapour compression cycle As the main heat source is free, the efficiency is excellent ~300% to 400% annually

12 12 The Magic of a Heat Pump! Low temperature renewable heat energy recovered from the environment Energy from the ambient air 2kW High temperature heat output Electrical power in 1kW 3kW

13 13 The Vapour Compression Cycle: Heating Low pressure saturated liquid and vapour Expansion Valve - throttling Evaporator Compressor Low pressure superheated vapour 4 way valve Condenser Plate Heat Exchanger High pressure high temp superheated vapour

14 14 Benefits of the Ecodan HP High CoPs (Coefficients of Performance) Reduced Carbon emissions Reduced Energy Consumption Reduced Running costs Electricity can be from Renewable Sources No Gas Supply or Fuel Tank needed

15 15 Coefficients of Performance (COP) Coefficients of performance relate the useful heat output to the electrical energy consumed COP = Heating output Power consumed

16 16 Performance Factors The unit harvests and upgrades free heat energy. Therefore the amount of heat delivered is always greater than the energy paid for. COPs in the region of 3.0 to 4.0 are achievable i.e. for every kw of electrical energy consumed 3.0 to 4.0 kw of heat energy can be delivered.

17 17 Performance Factors: COP at varying conditions Increase in condensing temperature and decrease in evaporating temperature reduce COP. C amb Water temp ºC Inlet/outlet 30/35 40/45 50/ (1.37) *Figures for 8.5 KW heat pump ( ) T ambient C

18 18 Weather Compensation The weather compensation works in two ways, primarily the main function is to reduce the heating circuit flow temperature as the outside temperature increases. This allows the heating to increase to its maximum set point temperature when the outside temperature reduces down to -3 C outside.

76 76 Heat Pump System Design Heat loss calculations Radiator / heat emitter sizing Domestic hot water storage volume Flow rates Under floor heating systems

77 77 Heat Loss Calculation Mitsubishi Electric do not carry design liability insurance General size guidance only Design responsibility of specifier to size unit correctly. Gledhill Water Storage have design service for larger projects

78 78 Heat Loss Calculation All buildings are suitable for a heat pump! Buildings should be well insulated Old buildings with solid walls have high heat losses Heat loss calculations are required for SAP on new build properties. Mitsubishi BS5449:1990 Heat Loss Calculator available for retrofit properties E-Si performs heat loss calcs for you.

80 80 Heat Loss Calculation Available Ecodan heat pump boiler duties PUHZ-W50VHA (5KW Heating Duty) PUHZ-W85VHA (8.5KW Heating Duty) PUHZ-HW140VHA (14KW Heating Duty)

81 81 Heat Loss Calculation Please note with the W50 and W85 boilers as the ambient temperature drops the available output also drops they will still provide heat energy at C ambient. This is not applicable for the 14KW model.

82 82 Radiator Guidance Room type Complete information in yellow shaded boxes Insert Dimensions Insert Dimensions Room heat loss is displayed for radiator sizing

83 83 Radiator Guidance Heat pumps produce water at 30 C to 60 C Ideal for underfloor heating Average underfloor heating circuit 35 C Fossil fuel boilers heat water to 80 C Flow temp in rads design temp approx 70 C or more recently for condensing boilers 50C. Heat pumps can be used with radiators. Sometimes larger surface area to emit heat from lower temp water is required.

84 84 Radiator Sizing Due to lower flow temperatures provided by a heat pump boiler additional care must be taken when sizing the surface area of a radiator As the temperature difference between the primary and secondary mediums decrease, the heat exchangers surface area must increase to emit the same amount of heat energy

85 85 Radiator Sizing Tool Available from Mitsubishi Allows rad outputs at variable flow temperatures to be calculated Rule of thumb only

86 86 Radiator Sizing Comparison Large ΔT High flow temperature 0.56m² = 1.6KW Radiator Dimensions and duties

87 87 Radiator Sizing Comparison Small ΔT Low flow temperature 1.4m² = 1.6KW Radiator Dimensions and duties

88 88 Retrofit Radiators Actual surface area currently designed on appearance e.g. under a window, along length of wall Radiator under an average window = m 2 Average property likely to significantly oversized Perception is small radiator = cold room

89 89 Radiator Sizing Case Study 3 bed semi detached house built to 2006 regs Heat loss of 5.4kW (20 C/-3 C) Design flow temp of 70 C (normal boiler) Each bedrooms radiator sizes should only be approx 0.5m² at this flow temperature In reality the installed radiators were on average 1.15m² Design flow at 50 C would require radiators to be approx 1.0m²

90 90 DHW hot water usage patterns Calculations set out in the CIBSE guide should be carried out to decide the amount of DHW storage required for a building. The table below can be used as a rough guide

91 91 Domestic Hot Water Storage Cylinders and FTC DHW Cylinder Specifications Indirect type (with coil type heat exchanger) 5KW heat pump At least 2m 2 surface area coil should be used 9KW &14KW At least 3m 2 surface area coil should be used (Smaller heat exchangers can be used with Ecodan but please be aware that as the area reduces the performance and storage temperature achievable of the system is reduced) Copper construction We will have recommended specifications for stainless steel vessels after further testing High density injection or spray on foam to current building regulations Connection point for either strap-on or immersed thermostat

92 92 Domestic Hot Water Storage Cylinders and FTC Cylinder specification sheet This sheet can be completed and sent to a cylinder supplier for a quotation

93 93 Domestic Hot Water Storage Cylinders and FTC Cylinder thermostat Care should be taken when selecting a cylinder thermostat. If the stat can be set higher than the achievable storage temperature of 55 0 C then space heating will be held off due to hot water priority. It is recommended that a thermostat on which the maximum temperature can be locked is used and is of an electronic type rather than mechanical. This will prevent it asking for a temperature that cannot be achieved and preventing space heating from occurring. A Potterton PTT2 cylinder thermostat is used on our demonstration system. This also gives an indication when the set temp is achieved.

94 94 The Hot & Cold Supply Flow Rates The hot water flow rate achievable from the HP-DEM is directly related to the adequacy of the cold mains serving the property. The cold supply must be capable of providing the total simultaneous demand, this should be calculated and could be up to 60 litres/minute in some properties. The minimum flow rate recommended for an adequate mains pressure system in any property is 30 litres/minute, this should be checked before the product is applied.

95 95 Under Floor Heating Systems The BoilerMate contains a pre-fitted pump for the heating circuit (s). When using an underfloor heating system, if the manifold does NOT contain a blending valve it should be of the non-pumped type. The blending valve should be set at the design temperature of the underfloor circuit.

96 96 Summary Careful consideration must be given to appropriate application of this technology to maximise its benefits it will not suit all properties, especially many retrofits Heat emitters may need to be larger Remember lower flow temperatures maximise COP Various regulations apply to the design and installation of such systems

97 97 Application

98 98 Application Ecodan location and installation considerations Gledhill location, installation and DHW supply considerations Interconnecting pipe work and wiring

99 99 Location Considerations Weight Space requirement Anti Vibration/Noise requirements Electrical details Drainage

100 100 Space requirements Space is required around the a heat pump to allow air flow. Below is the required space for the 8.5KW heat pump, these vary for other models and can be found in the relevant installation manuals.

101 101 Space requirements Air outlet grille for each model are available to divert airflow and reduce minimum dimensions (PAC-SF08SG-E). (Figures in brackets are for 14KW model)

102 102 Space requirements As Ecodan recovers heat from the environment, the exhaust air from the fan can be uncomfortably cold, deflectors are available if the units are to be installed in a pedestrian area e.g. Patio Considerations should be made so that the area in front of the Ecodan is not going to cause to much disruption to occupants

103 103 Noise / vibration nuisance Care should be taken to prevent any vibration transfer into buildings Flexible hoses (2 x 600mm 1 bore steel braided rubber flexible hose, one for flow and one for return, supplied loose with the unit. (Supplied with package) Anti- Vibration mountings i.e Tico pad (NOT supplied with package) Noise considerations should be taken into account when locating in close proximities with other residences

104 104 General Ecodan Electrical Installation A qualified part P certified Electrician is required to install the power supply Care should be taken to ensure the power supply is weather proof Supply cable should be either armoured cable, or twin + earth protected in conduit Power should be isolated locally within 1.5 metres, minimum 3mm contact gap in isolator An RCD (residual current device) should fitted in the supply to the Ecodan this should have a tolerance of 30mA

105 105 Defrost Cycle & Drainage As the Ecodan extracts heat from the air at low temperatures the heat exchanger may accumulate a slight build up of frost/ice. The unit will detect this and automatically reverse its cycle sending hot gas (up to 60 0 C) around the coil as a defrost strategy. This usually last for less than 4 minutes.

106 106 Defrost Cycle & Drainage When the unit is providing water heating the refrigerant to air heat exchanger will cool, and therefore condense moisture from the air. This condensate will drain from the unit and provision for its disposal may be needed i.e gravel pit. Up to ~ 8L/hr

107 107 Summary and additional external considerations Clearances around unit and provision for condensate disposal Noise, visual impact on property and neighbours. e.g. avoid sitting near windows, anti vibration pads available Qualified electrician required to install power supply Planning permission Scaffolding tower and/or ladder access for installation and servicing at high level Protection from physical damage/vandalism

108 108 Electrical Considerations A qualified part P certified Electrician is required to install the power supply Power should be isolated locally within 1.5 metres 6mm core cable protected by a 32 amp MCB All other internal protection is supplied pre-wired in the package

109 109 Interconnecting pipe work and wiring Pipe work and insulation Visual Impact Essential protection requirements Wiring

110 110 Interconnecting pipe work and insulation Required pipe work diameters between outdoor and indoor. 22mm 28mm PUHZ-W50VHA PUHZ-W85VHA PUHZ-HW140VHA Note Larger diameter required for 14KW model

111 111 Interconnecting pipe work and insulation Gledhill package - interconnecting pipe run must not exceed 60 metres equivalent length (30 metres difference between units) inclusive of height difference. Standalone package flow rates for each heat pump model must be achieved by sizing the circulating pumps to suit the pipe work. Provisions should be made to fit AAV s or bleed valves at the highest point in the pipe work Pipe work MUST be insulated with Armaflex or similar insulation (thermal conductivity 0.04W/m.K). To ensure minimal thermal heat loss *(Failure to to insulate the pipe work WILL reduce the efficiency of the system dramatically) For weather protection To help prevent freezing

112 112 Air locks, evacuation and lack of flow rate Precautions should be taken to ensure the evacuation of all air from the entire primary system. To accomplish this automatic air-vents should be installed at the highest point of the primary pipe work. Failure to do so will result in the heat pump boiler displaying one of the following errors on the Ecodan PCB LED display 7 Segment LED 7 Segment LED OR U1 P6 To reset turn the power to the Ecodan OFF & ON. Continuous reset with failure to rectify the fault will result in damage to the boiler

113 113 Heating System Bypass Automatic bypass valves will be required in the heating systems if it is proposed to fit thermostatic radiator valves (TRV s) to all radiators or fit zone valves to control all the separate heating circuits. To meet the requirements of Building Regulations for a boiler interlock, it is recommended that the radiator in the area where the room thermostat is installed should be fitted with lock shield valves on both connections

114 114 The Hot & Cold Supplies If the dead leg volume of the hot water draw-off pipe work is excessive a secondary hot water circulation system could be considered. *As a rule of thumb if the hot water delivery time is greater than 60 seconds Secondary Hot Water Circulation 1. Bronze circulator 2. Expansion Vessel 3. Hot water return pipework 4. Single check valve/non return valve - should be fitted as close as possible to the Accolade 2000 appliance 2 SCV SH WHB BATH Hot flow & return pipe work must be insulated SINK WHB

115 115 Visual Impact Considerations Location of Ecodan External pipe work Minimise external pipe runs Trunking E.g inaba-denko

116 116 Interconnecting cables PUHZ-(H)W50/85/140VHA with Flow Temperature Controller A 4 core interconnecting cable is required, this is not supplied with the package Minimum conductor size 1.5mm² Must not exceed 30 Metres in length Must be one cable without any joints

117 117 Essential protection requirements Filters The heat exchanger must be protected from particulate contaminates in the water circuit. When retrofitting provision shall be taken to avoid contaminates blocking the water circuit within the Heat Pump. A Fernox boiler buddy is supplied with the package and MUST be fitted to the system between the Ecodan and Boilermate as close to the Ecodan as possible in the flow line. * It is not weather proof so should be positioned indoors

118 118 Freezing! One of the biggest risk to the system is freezing the water contained in the plate heat exchanger. Heat exchanger has 1mm capillaries Therefore vulnerable to ice damage A burst heat exchanger will cost 300 Plus a days labour from a fridge engineer Possible compressor damage Potential bill of 900+

119 119 Essential protection requirements Provision shall be taken to avoid this pipe work freezing during winter months i.e. antifreeze/inhibitor, such as: Fernox PROTECTOR ALPHI-11 Protects against corrosion and limescale commonly used in heating systems Non-toxic, environmentally friendly Combined antifreeze and inhibitor Should make up 25% of the total volume.

120 120 Commissioning

121 121 Commissioning Checklist Add Fernox Alphi 11 (anti freeze) Check air charge is in expansion vessels Pressurise primary circuit to approximately 1.50 Bar Open all isolating valves Release ALL air from the system using automatic air vents at the highest points of the system

122 122 Commissioning Before bleeding the air from the system the zone valves should be manually opened to prevent air lock and possible damage of the circulating pumps.

123 123 FTC System Commissioning Operate the system by selecting constant run for BOTH channels on the installed two channel time clock DHW heating will then take priority and raise the hot water store until the cylinder thermostat is opened. Once this temperature is achieved check that the DHW zone valve closes and CH valve opens. With the boost switch link between terminals 1 and 2 the system should then target the preset temperature selected in heating mode during the Initial Setting mode.

124 124 Commissioning Indications should be placed on the system and in the house instructions to ensure that if for any reason the heating system is emptied the anti-freeze in the pipe-work is replaced.

125 125 Service and Maintenance

126 126 Annual Servicing (Boilermate) Service/maintenance recommendations relating to the Un-vented store. Check that the correct rating and type of fuse is fitted to the electrical supply. Check for the presence of supplementary earth bonding. Clean out the strainer in the combination valve. Check the expansion charge pressure and top up if necessary (1.5 bar). Clean flow regulators (restrictors/aerators) as applicable and check for correct flow rate.

127 127 Annual Servicing (Ecodan) Low maintenance sealed system Like a fridge! Refrigeration engineer not required Essentially a visual inspection Unit needs to be kept clear of debris Check for signs of damage to unit Heat exchanger to be kept clean - Calclean environmentally friendly coil cleaner - Brush to remove debris e.g. leaves

134 134 Regulations and Legislation

135 135 Regulations Working at Heights Approved Document P: Electrical Safety Approved Document E: Resistance to the Passage of Sound Approved Document B: Fire Safety Approved Document L1A: Conservation of Fuel and Power (New Dwellings)

136 136 Electrical Regulations Approved Document P: to cover power supply to Gledhill Unit Approved Document P: to cover power supply to Mitsubishi Unit Wiring Regulations: 17th Edition apply in both cases

137 137 Approved Document P: Electrical Safety Third party certification is not permitted The installation and commissioning of external mains voltage equipment is a controlled service The interconnecting wiring is not subject to approved document P, as it only carries 12v and is classed as extra low voltage

138 138 Additional Qualifications Installers must have attained a City & Guilds Certificate (6084) in Energy Efficiency to commission the unit What the C&G 6084 course covers: Why energy consumption affects the environment How energy efficiency affects the heating installer Legislation that forces change The requirements of Approved Doc. L and supporting documents such as CHeSS

139 139 Approved Document L1A: Conservation of Fuel and Power (New Dwellings) Installations must conform with this document The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide gives further guidance The installation of heat producing equipment is a controlled service Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP)

140 140 Microgeneration Requirements The government has produced a Microgeneration Installation Standard This outlines best practice for heat pump installations Any Grants and/or tax concessions will be dependant upon adhering to this standard Installations need to meet the requirements of the HVCA Guide to Good Practice Heat Pumps (TR/30)

141 141 Microgeneration Requirements Installers must have current accreditation such as:- Appropriate NVQ level 3 Other relevant training e.g. Manufacturer s product training Membership of a competent person scheme Possession of a relevant Skillcard Experience gained through a mentoring process Demonstrable track record of successful installation The relevance of the above will require independent verification

142 142 Microgeneration Requirements The contractor must understand the design and its application and explain this to the customer This explanation must include the proportion of design heat loss and design hot water load to be supplied by the heat pump and an estimate of the annual energy performance The following disclaimer must be included:

143 143 Microgeneration Requirements - Disclaimer The performance of Microgeneration heat pump systems is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability of the climate and its subsequent effect on both heat supply and demand. This estimate is based upon the best available information but is given as guidance only and should not be considered as a guarantee.

144 144 The Future of the Heat Pump Cleaner electricity generation Lower CO2 emissions Heat pump advantage grows Carbon free generation = carbon free heating Low carbon electricity generation is enhanced by a factor equal to the COP of the heat pump Carbon savings from installed heat pumps will improve as each year passes

145 145 The Future of the Heat Pump If CO2 emission reduction is important, the heat pump has a big future The air heating products have been available for some time The water heating products have now arrived Advances in technology have now made water heating a more than viable option
