IVT GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SPECIALISTS ENERFINA

Leave a comment

At www.Enerfina.com, were all about helping customers find the right renewable energy product for their home or commercial property.

In recent times, we’ve been inundated with enquiries about our range of IVT products which have become one of our most popular product ranges in the heat pump market.

In 2004, Bosch Thermotechnik (part of the Bosch Group) joined forces with IVT with the objective of strengthening their position in the rapidly expanding renewable energy market, as well as providing greater access to new markets for IVT Heat Pumps, and that investment has seen IVT become one of the market leaders in this highly competitive market.

Whilst a ground source heat pump system is electrically powered and taps into the natural heat stored in the earth to heat your property, an IVT heat pump can also heat your domestic hot water, amenities such as a swimming pool, and can cool your home in the summer.

In essence, it transports heat energy from one place to another and because you are moving heat, rather than creating it by burning oil or gas, the system is much more efficient with average savings of between 50-70% on your annual running costs.

In fact, every 1kW of input energy is converted into an average of 4.5 kW of output energy or heat (i.e. a Coefficient of Performance or COP of 4.5 : 1), making it more than 4.5 times as efficient as conventional boilers, and a natural choice for low cost heating and hot water.

Although still considered to be a new arrival on the UK scene, heat pumps are a proven technology pioneered by IVT in Sweden where 97% of all new houses are built with heat pump heating systems.

Are Air Source Heat Pumps Your Future Renewable Energy Source?

Leave a comment

Renewable energy installations are becoming increasingly widespread and a key part of this is down to Air Source Heat Pump systems – which aren’t as complex and expensive as they sound.

They provide heating via radiators or underfloor heating, and take care of all hot water needs, and have increased in efficiency in recent years through new, contemporary high temperature air source heat pump systems arriving on the market, which are capable of heating traditional steel radiators up to 80°C.

“In comparison with traditional fossil fuels, air source heat pumps can lead to a significant reduction in utility bills,” says Gordon Atkinson, Marketing Director at Enerfina, independent internet-based renewable energy specialists.

“They are an ideal solution for an urban or suburban setting, where space constraints may rule out the installation of other renewable energy systems such as ground source heat pumps or wood pellet boilers.”

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps

• Easy and straightforward installation.
• Suitable for a new build scenario and very convenient to install in a renovation or retrofit situation. The higher temperature systems can integrate easily with existing steel radiators.
• Generally cheaper to install than ground or water source heat pumps, so payback can be achieved in a shorter timeframe.
• Sustainable means of providing heat and hot water for your property. No fossil fuels are used as the system runs on electricity, which can be supplied (at least in part) by renewable sources such as wind or solar PV panels.
• Very efficient means to heat your property, both from an energy and cost perspective. One kW of electricity consumed by your air source heat pump will typically generate up to 4 kWs of heat energy.

Choose Renewable Energy as Your New Year’s Resolution

Leave a comment

January 7, 2011 – Ahead of Christmas and the start of a brand new year, millions of us are weakly formulating a New Year’s resolution that invariably consists of gym

memberships, nicotine patches and frankly numerous intentions that fall apart in February.

But this year, how about doing something a little different by pledging to go eco-friendly and investing in renewable energy? Not only will you be doing your bit for

the environment, but your renewable energy investment will also pay for itself over time via savings on your energy bills. And did you know that there are various
energy grants available to help you get started?

Renewable energy is available in many forms, which type would suit you best?

Wind Energy

This can be captured through the installation of domestic or commercial wind turbines which convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity, and this power can

then be used to provide the electricity requirements of your home or commercial property.

Solar Energy

Solar energy comes purely from the sun through solar panels – of which there are two main types. Solar thermal panels are used for central heating and hot running

water, whilst solar PV panels are used to generate electricity.

Heat Energy

Natural heat energy sourced from the ground (geothermal) is a popular solution across numerous Scandinavian and European countries as the renewable energy source for

ground source heat pumps. An alternative option, air source heat pumps can derive heat

energy from the ambient air temperature whilst water source heat pumps can be connected to a nearby water source.

Biomass Energy

Biomass energy is generated through the burning of materials such as wood pellets, wood chip, wood logs, wood shavings, any other organic, renewable materials or even

plant crops such as miscanthus (elephant grass).

Hydro Energy

Hydro power is one of the oldest forms of renewable energy, generating power from the movement of water. In perhaps its most common form, water is moved through

turbines located in dams to generate energy, which is renewable, as the water can be reused or returned to its natural state once the energy has been created.

ENER-G has launched a new ENER-G Sustainable Technologies division – specialising in the design, installation and maintenance of heat pumps

Leave a comment

Through its exclusive partnership with four leading manufacturers, the company is providing one of the widest selections of ground source, gas absorption, air source and water loop heat pump technologies in the UK.

The new division expands ENER-G’s existing ground source heat pump operation into a building services focused business that can provide total heat pump solutions for all types of heating and cooling applications utilising heat pumps ranging from 1kW to 1000kW capacity.

ENER-G Sustainable Technologies has relocated its Nottinghamshire base from Ollerton into larger premises in Mansfield, which will accommodate its anticipated year-on-year growth.

Managing Director, Paul Burley said: “Our in-house expertise and resources means we can see the whole job through from initial feasibility through to project handover. We operate our own drilling rigs and offer complete in-house services from specialist design, through to complete project management, installation and maintenance of heat pump technologies. We also have the ability to supply bespoke manufactured heat pumps in a variety of sizes to accommodate complex customer briefs, particularly where space is restricted.”

The introduction of the proposed Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in April 2011 is expected to stimulate further demand in the sector, providing significant subsidy payments of up to 7.5 pence per kWh for 15 to 23 years that will dramatically reduce the payback period on ground source and air source heat pump technology.

Explains Paul Burley: “This legislation will support a range of heating and cooling systems at all levels, from small businesses and offices, and public sector buildings right up to large factories. A 200kW ground source heat pump operating eight hours a day – typical for a school or moderately sized business premises – would create an annual incentive of approximately £18,000. Similarly, a 200kW air source pump operating in comparable circumstances would lead to a financial gain of around £7,000 per year.

“ENER-G’s expertise in delivering these technologies for all sizes and types of application is unsurpassed. We are currently looking at introducing attractive finance packages which will fund the installation, along with operation and maintenance of the technology at minimal cost to the client”.

Heat pumps supply more energy than they consume by using a refrigeration cycle to absorb heat from the environment and raise it to a suitable level for heating buildings or providing hot water. The process can operate in a reverse cycle to provide cooling for buildings as well. Heat pumps can provide a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional technologies.

When combined heat and power is used to drive heat pumps, further energy savings and CO2 reductions can be achieved. ENER-G is using these two technologies in tandem to power the new Malvern Community Hospital, which will be one of the greenest hospitals in the UK.

ENER-G Sustainable Technologies has won official certification for its expertise in renewable heat pump technology. The Approved Contractor certificate recognises the quality of ENER-G’s design, supply, and installation heat pumps, in line with exacting technical standards set out by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. The company is also a member of the UK Ground Source Heat Pump Association.

The business is part of the UK-based ENER-G group of companies which employs more than 760 people worldwide, with operating and joint venture companies in 16 countries. It develops, manufactures, delivers and finances energy efficient and renewable solutions, including: combined heat and power, biogas utilisation, geothermal energy, heat pumps, efficient lighting, controls, metering and data solutions, and new generation energy from waste. This is accompanied by a wide range of energy and water consultancy and energy procurement services.
