Air and Ground Source Heat Pumps (Including F-Gas Certification)

The Programme

This course will give candidates detailed explanations and practical examples of selecting, installing and commissioning systems and F-Gas regulations. Candidates must hold current Unvented and Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating qualifications.

Air source heat pumps take a large quantity of low grade heat energy from the air and produce enough high grade energy to heat water to high temperatures. The heat pump works in the same way as a domestic refrigerator. Air source heat pumps work by converting the energy of the outside air into heat, to create a comfortable temperature inside the house and high temperature hot water.

The ground source heat pump operates in a similar way to the air source heat pump in that low grade energy is used to provide high water temperatures for heating and domestic hot water. In the case of the ground source heat pump the low grade energy is taken from the ground either from collector tubes laid beneath the surface or from water contained in a borehole.
