  1. Domestic Hot Water (#DHW) periodic #pasteurisation of storage to prevent #Legionnaires' disease is hard to do with a heat pump (getting up to ~60C), so I do something a bit differerent:

    earth.org.uk/eddi-diverter-dat

    When there is sufficient sunshine the system is set up to automagically do it a bit less than weekly by direct diversion from PV; in winter once or twice a month from the #grid when #carbonIntensity is low...

  2. #today I had lunch with a friend. I observed an unexpected #DHW tank #pasteurisation cycle in the morning and expected #heatBattery PV diversion in the afternoon, with the PV generation also covering significant #heatPump consumption. I am planning for presenting/MCing some #entrepreneurship stuff at #uni on Wednesday.

  3. Some initial #heatpump data from the unit itself, right from the start so including commissioning and thus below expected long term results once tuned, and I'm currenrly running in a secondary mode since bypass is borked ... #heating #CoP ~3.1, #DHW ~2.1 or ~1.9 when including immersion for #pasteurisation cycles.
