hi guys,
i looked at a job yesterday, the customer currently has a coal fired boiler, pumped heating and grav hot water, he also has a large array of photovoltaic panals, he is normally over producing between 2 and 5 kw, and instead of selling bk to the grid for the fraction of what he is paying he has asked if i can some how store it, and pump it back into his central heating that evening.
indirect must be the best approach for this i guess?
im thinking either a large cyl, 2x immersions, high performance coil,
heat cyl to 90 and then pump heating through the coil,
or
a thermal store arrangement with external plate heat exchangers, and no mixing valve on,
what do you guys think,? will this even work and at best how long would say a 300ltr cyl last in a large house with 14 rads?.
cheers
Dan
