Ecodan Residential Renewable Heating Systems

Ecodan Heat Pumps-Renewable Heating Systems

There is now no doubt that the world is in a climate crisis and that we need to act immediately to avoid catastrophic climate change. The UK Government have reacted by being the first major economy to pass net zero (Greenhouse Gas) emission laws. Renewable technologies, such as heat pumps, have become an integral part of the solution to the problem of reducing carbon emissions generated through heating

As a market leader in both commercial and domestic heat pumps, Mitsubishi Electric is a pioneer in the development of this renewable technology.
Around the world, heat pumps have been utilised for decades and Mitsubishi Electric has refined this technology to produce Ecodan – one of the most advanced, efficient heating systems available on the market today.

The award winning Ecodan heat pumps are available from 4kW up to 960kW, making them suitable for virtually any property, from small flats to large detached houses, from an office block to a school.
They are the renewable, low carbon alternative to traditional high carbon heating systems.

• Renewable heating solution capable of reducing emissions and achieving climate targets
• Highly efficient, proven and refined technology that can lower energy bills
• Range of easy to design, install and maintain systems suitable for a variety of property and application types.

Ecodan heat pumps are a renewable heating technology that efficiently and reliably generates sustainable space heating and hot water all year round, delivering a level of comfort that sets the technology apart from other forms of heating.

TV presenter, architect, lecturer and writer, George Clarke is a passionate advocate of design excellence and high levels of quality in the construction industry.

” The way we design, build, heat, power and recycle our homes needs to change, and change quickly, and renewable heating is an important part of our future. I am therefore delighted to associate myself with Ecodan, the market-leading brand of heat pumps built here in the UK and which can help reduce energy bills and lower emissions for almost any home. “

How do Ecodan air source heat pumps work?

Ecodan heat pumps harvest, upgrade and move heat from one location to another.

Using technology similar to that which is found in a common domestic fridge, heat pumps use the vapour compression cycle to generate heat.
When used in reverse, this cycle provides the ability to take low temperature renewable heat from the environment and raise it to usable temperatures capable of handling the space and water heating loads required in buildings.

What is the vapour compression cycle?

• At the beginning of the first phase the refrigerant is a cold low pressure liquid

1. Refrigerant passes through the evaporator and is exposed to the heat energy of the outside air. As the air flows over
   the evaporator coil, this heat energy is transferred to the refrigerant, causing it to pressurise into a warm vapour.
2. This warm vapour then enters the compressor where its temperature increases as a result of the compression
   process and turns into a hot gas.
3. Hot refrigerant gas passes through the condenser (plate heat exchanger) and transfers its heat energy into the
   (cooler) water side that is connected to the primary water circuit. The heated water in this circuit is then used to
   heat up a hot water cylinder inside the property. Due to this energy transfer, the passing hot refrigerant gas cools
   and transforms back into a cool vapour.
4. Although the refrigerant vapour has cooled, in order to return the refrigerant back to its initial state, it is passed
   through an expansion valve. This lowers the pressure of the cool refrigerant vapour and transforms it back into a
   low pressure liquid – allowing for the vapour compression cycle to start once again.

Developed with two selection options to choose from, whether the project is a single domestic
dwelling or a large commercial project, the tool will guide the user towards the solution most suited
to the needs of the property. Upon completion of the selection process, the tool will generate a
bespoke and professional equipment selection report based upon the criteria entered; providing
the different user types with the relevant information and resources required to progress to the
next stage of design.
Whether the user is a homeowner that wishes to understand the basic estimated costs of operating
a renewable heating system or an installer that requires an MCS [MIS3005] standard compliant
design for an RHI application, the Ecodan Selection Tool is capable of delivering an informed choice.
