Renewable Heat Incentive

Anyone interested in Air Source Pumps will be interested in learning more about the Government’s RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive). Coming into force in April 2011, RHI aims to promote the use of such technologies with financial rewards. Information currently available suggests that the scheme will work by forming an estimate how much your renewable system will produce. You then get paid up to 18p/kWhr for the hot water and heat you generate and use yourself.

The exact workings of the RHI is still being formed, we therefore urge you to visit the following websites for the latest information:

How Air Source Heat Pumps work?

Air source heat pumps are similar in principle to a refrigerator but instead of cooling they take heat from the air and convert it into usable heat.

A heat pump usually has four main components, an evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion valve.

An air source heat pump works by taking air from outside which is drawn over the evaporator. The refrigerant soaks up heat from the air and converts it from a liquid to a vapour. The refrigerant is sent through a compressor, which pressurises and as a result pushes up the temperature of the vapour. This can now provide a temperature we can use in domestic heating. The higher temperature refrigerant then goes to the condenser heat exchanger, moving heat to the heating system. The refrigerant returns to liquid now that the heat is removed. The liquid refrigerant then returns to its original state as it passes through the expansion valve.
