Over 40% of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions, the main greenhouse gas which causes climate change, actually come from the energy we use every day - at home and when we travel.
Can I use a heat pump with radiators?Yes. You need to consider several points before doing this. To get any heat out of a traditional radiator the water temperature coming out of the heat pump must be 50°C. Even at this temperature, to be effective at all, the radiators will need to be oversized. With a temperature of 50°C the COP of a heat pump will drop. Also, off-peak tariffs cannot be used as there is no thermal storage in radiators. This means higher running costs and this has a consequent impact upon the “pay-back” period for the unit. Any micro-bore pipe would also need to be replaced. To avoid all of this Earth Save Products has partnered with “Smith’s” to offer the “Ecovector” unit – this is an extremely efficient alternative radiator design that works effectively and very efficiently at the lower operating temperature of a heat pump. |
