Day 2 and it already feels like a week. The classes are going well and we showed the Dimplex German design facilities available on their website. This will tie in with the visit to there manufacturing plant later in the week. Our hosts brought us to a shooting range in the evening to unwind and we were treated to a traditional local meal.
Will
A full day of classroom based learning and there were many concepts of Heat Pump technology that needed to be understood. We learnt a lot about the requirements of correct design.
Pritpal
So much to learn about heat pumps and we are cracking on. The course is intense and I am learning a lot. They are de-mistifying heat pumps and looking at practical applications of commercial installations is very useful.
Graham
Today the group was hit with the design aspects of ground and air source heat pumps, This has opened a few eyes and they now know it is not an easy subject to grasp but all managed well lets keep it up.
Dan
We had a great day of in-depth heat pump design and finished the day with a bang.
Steve
Much more in depth today and found the sizing of the pumps very interesting. The lecturing was very impressive by both Fergal and Graham. Really looking forward to tomorrow, big thumbs up for today.
Murdo
Day 2 goes off with a bang! Looked at the installation considerations of ground source lots of information and lots of questions left for tomorrow. Looking forward to the practical tomorrow.
Shaun
The teaching today was extremely technical at first but after time all aspects tied in together making what seemed conflicting and complicated to be quite interesting and made me look at it very differently with an enriched excitement towards tomorrows learning.
Kelvin
Another interesting and very informative day. The exchange programme is well structured and today we looked at German installations. From seeing how they have been using heat pumps in Germany it is clear that they are a well established technology that can be used in the UK.
Craig
Another in-depth day of learning and classroom discussion centering on the importance of critically designing heat pump systems in order to get the best from them. Challenging, an understatement, but then to expect to learn in one day…… Confident that ‘foggy’ aspects will clear up over the next few days
Jamie
Alot of theory to take in today, some quite confusing at first but towards the end all seemed to fall into place, good to finally have a real grasp of the process. Also we looked at the future of heat pumps and the benefits of their relationship with various fire-arms.
Oliver
Today was a very tough day, a lot of technical information.
But with Grahams and Fergals way of lecturing, it cleared a lot of the questions afterwards. I strongly believe that Heat Pump Technology will catch up UKs Energy demand.
Colin
Another great day with Heat Pump theory bringing together what we learnt yesterday. It is becoming clearer how this renewable technology can be integrated into a complete renewable solution with other technologies complementing each
