WASTE HEAT RECOVERY HEAT PUMPS: An innovative heating solution for the National Grid

摘要

Dimplex SI 100 TE and SIH 6 ME heat pumps are recovering waste heat from the National Grid substation in Worcestershire and using it to heat the main substation building and a neighbouring Environmental Education Centre. Using waste heat in this way means there is no need for backup heating or a ground source collector, which would have been unachievable due to the confines of working within an electricity substation. The solution, which has been designed and patented by Rook Services as part of National Grid's commitment to reduce their carbon footprint, has been installed at Bishops Wood Centre near Stourport.
