The role of the heat pump in the journey to net zero
With rising energy tariffs and increasing awareness of our environmental impact, maximising energy efficiency plays a key role in helping to lower operational costs and meet the required regulations. While it is, without doubt, a difficult time, some steps can be taken, which can also help to accelerate the transition to the UK government's Net Zero goal for 2050.
The benefits of stainless steel in hot water generation
With stainless steel becoming a popular choice for hot water products, we take a look at some of the key factors driving this trend.
Building Regulations Part L Uplift: What’s changed one year on?
As we approach the one-year mark since revisions to the approved Document L of the England Building Regulations were introduced, we’ve seen a significant step towards more energy-efficient DHW heating products in commercial buildings. Whilst not necessarily new to the scene, the latest regulations have certainly thrust the benefits of condensing water heaters such as our Dorchester DR-SG into the spotlight.
Combine but also separate the old from the new for an efficient heating system
To help support the installation of our latest Stratton mk3 wall-hung condensing boiler onto existing heating systems, we've also introduced a range of Plate Heat Exchangers, for increased boiler protection and performance.
What are the best methods for building decarbonisation in the UK?
The UK government has a net zero goal in place for 2050, which requires greenhouse emissions to be reduced to as close to zero as possible. Following the introduction of the latest Part L regulations, Darren Townend, Commercial Product Manager for Hamworthy Heating discusses the best way to decarbonise heating in new commercial buildings.
Heat Pumps Role in the Net Zero Goal
The UK Government has a net zero goal in place for 2050, which requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining being balanced out by removing an equivalent amount.
Hydrogen - one gas grid, many products
Managing the risk of legionella in domestic hot water systems
This Hamworthy article and video shows how legionella protection cycle works with a commercial direct fired water heater.
UK Hydrogen Strategy: What does it tell us?
The Government’s long awaited UK Hydrogen Strategy was released in August 2021 and is very much a top-level strategy addressing infrastructure and development of a hydrogen economy in the UK. We take a look at what it did tell us.
No flow boilers – application and installation
No flow boilers don’t depend on the system circuit flow for safe operation. But how does a no flow boiler work? Understand the application and installation of no flow boilers for cost effective heating system design.
