The global challenge

What difference can we make?

Emerging nations such as China and India are

today consuming more and more energy to
fuel their enormous economic growth, so what
difference can a tiny island like the UK make?

Indeed if the UK became 100% zero carbon

tomorrow, it would take China less than 3
months to replace the UK’s carbon emissions.

However, carbon emissions per capita in the

UK are one of the highest in the world – in fact
if every nation had such high emissions per
head of population, global emissions would
increase 3-fold.

So the UK has a responsibility to demonstrate

This method even works in the middle of

winter at temperatures as low as -25ºC. Ground source heat pumps extract heat from
the earth all year-round via closed loop ground
heat collectors buried beneath the ground.

Water-to-water heat pumps extract thermal

energy from ground water. If the supply is readily
available and the quality is sufficient, ground
water is the most efficient source of heat.

CASE STUDIES
Heat from your garden
The earth stores an enormous amount of solar energy from both solar
radiation and rainfall. To extract this energy, ground collectors consisting of
flexible poly ethylene pipes are buried in the earth, either horizontally or
vertically. A mixture of water and anti-freeze is then circulated through the
pipe loops, attracting the heat energy and transferring it to the heat pump. Heat pumps in action

The heat pump, heating and hot water pumps,
mixer motor and any supplementary heating
sources are all automatically activated by the
WPM manager. For reversible heat pumps both
heating and cooling modes are managed by
the same controller.

System integration with

existing systems
The WPM controller also allows Dimplex heat
pumps to be efficiently integrated in ‘bi-valent’
mode with existing systems. When combined in
parallel with an existing boiler, the heat pump
manager regulates the boiler in accordance to
need and ensures that no excessive temperatures
can enter the heating system.
This way, for example, a filled oil tank can be
used up before converting to heat pump only
operation later on, or provide the ability for the
heat pump to manage the base heating load
with supplementary support from an existing gas
or oil boiler. Such strategies provide an excellent
opportunity for the installation of heat pumps in
existing homes and buildings.

Integration with the renewables

For optimal integration of renewable heat
sources, the heat pump manager offers an
operating mode developed especially for
purpose. Thermal solar energy systems or
biomass boilers feed into a renewable cylinder
fitted with an additional heat exchanger which,
at a sufficient temperature level, gives priority
to this energy for heating or hot water, over
riding the operation of the heat pump.
