In this video, I show you how to design a heating system pipework like a true pro. We discuss the following topics:
- heat loss calculations
- how to read pump graphs
- how to calculate pressure loss
- how to size pipework
- what software and apps I use to design my heating system
The concepts discussed in this video are based on a real-life air source heat pump retrofit installation that Urban Plumbers completed in Hook. On this installation, we have done the following:
- replaced a 37kW system boiler with a 7kW Vaillant Arotherm Plus Heat Pump
- replaced 300l horizontal cylinder with a bespoke 225l cylinder from Newark with a 4m2 coil
- upgraded all primary pipework sized for a low temperature and low velocity set up
You can see the performance of this system on the Open Energy Monitor website here:
