You’re promoting your closed source, non activitypub platform on Lemmy. Good luck with that, I’ll give it a free, federated downvote.
I’m not saying it can’t be done. But a larger heat pump and replacing all radiators drives up the cost, there is not always space for a bigger radiator, (and water tank), and while higher flow temperatures are possible, it tend to reduce efficiency. Sometimes it’s just not worth the investment, not helped by the big gap between gas and electricity prices in the UK
Maybe it’s me, but that post title just hurts my brain.
Something to do with physics. It’s not just about the heat output from a gas boiler vs heat pump. It’s the output from the radiator to the room that matters. For the same output, a gas boiler heats the water to a higher temperature than a heat pump. Which means a radiator gives out more heat to the room. As an extreme example, if it is freezing outside and the heat pump produces a lot of water at 15c, it may have a high thermal output but still wont keep your room warm. If it produces water at 30c, the radiator will transfer some heat to the room, but unless the radiator is very big or the room is well insulated, probably not enough.
Link me to a heat pump that produces water for central heating at 70C or more. Typically, flow temperature is closer 40C, which won’t heat the average house unless you increase (possibly double) the size and/or number of radiators. Which is expensive and not always feasible. You can run heat pumps at higher flow temperatures, but that reduces their efficiency. Don’t get me wrong, i think they are great. But successfully retrofitting to old UK housing stock needs expertise that is in short supply.
Heat pumps are great when the house is designed for it. Average uk house with shitty insulation and radiators that are unable to heat the room unless the water is really hot - it’s not going to work well.
Only six smaller airports have installed the new (bigger, heavier) scanners needed. All bigger airports have missed the deadlines. Not enough space, floor not strong enough etc. And now it appears the new scanners cannot be relied upon.
Nice review, thanks for sharing. It’s not for me, need more throw, but a nice light.
Absolutely. But if he takes some votes away from the conservatives, he can stay for a few weeks
Yeah, after disabling various bots reposting from nos and other sources, there doesn’t seem much left from the Netherlands.
Old news, and two similar posts by OP in this community. So take my downvote
Thank you. We need an amputator bot on lemmy
Ukraine and Isreal are not very expensive. Ukraine gets mainly leftovers and Israel pays for most stuff. And both keep the MIC going.
Unless you lost a /s there, the billionaires will continue to earn money. It’s the rest of us getting hit with the cost.
Not everyone who speaks Russian wants to be Russian.
Not sure how secret this is. There are a few home office tenders with use of force in the description that seem related (supply of aircraft fuselage, catering) and there is also This Which mentions the same location as the tender for catering services
Ffs Labour, on xitter, really ??
If we had PR, I would consider policies when voting. But at this point, even if I agreed with all conservative policies, I would not trust them to implement any of them. So my main consideration is which party has the best chance of beating the con artists in my area, not which party has the ‘best’ policies.
