Thank you I'm going to try everything you suggest and see what difference it makes. But I have noted down all the changes just in case.

I followed your advice 6 months ago ago and put my cylindre at 50c with the boiler heating the water when it reaches 45 (evohome). I don’t see any difference as a user but I see that I can run my flow temperature at a lower temp with lower gas bills. 👍 thanks again.

​@@ksim_your correct mate, insulation and having a great thermal envelope is key. Doesnt matter the heat source or what piping arrangements you have in place. Ive just installed a new gas boiler from an 18 year old system boiler and after a full year of bills and with a couple of easy settings/tweaks, have saved customer from a 2500 a year bill, to a 700 bill and thats with 16 rads and a 300l cylinder.

I'm in Australia in a 12 unit block. We're hopefully installing a new central hot water (COP of up to 6.0) twin heat pump and 400l tank system. We are required to have legionnaires disease protection. The Reclaim energy branded heat pumps are made by Panasonic in Japan. There's a smart controller that varies the storage tank temperature in 5 modes. Output temperature is 63 degrees C. The tank is heated to this temperature once a day. A 55C thermovalve is used with a timed recirculating pump. The cost of replacing the 315l tank and gas instantaneous heater up to current codes is $AU33k. The total heat pump cost is $AU16k less $AU6.3k government subsidy.

Brilliant video, thank you!

well, i am doing something similar in an off grid rental with solar. generaly keeping the tank at 45c, but when there is excess solar, starts heating up to the maximum allowed of around 75c. I am also starting to incorporate a bit more smarts to it through home assistant, with information about its temperature and solar forecasts.

If, like us, you have solar panels I thought it would be best to heat your water at the time you get most solar production and possible exports to the grid. So I've set hot water between 2pm and 4pm as our main roof faces S west rather than due south.

I have a Daikin, my hot water store is already set to eco 48, it is on a schedule with a reheat setpoint of 39, I have just enabled another schedule for ultra quiet mode at the same time as the hot water call, hysterisis is set to 2c, is there anything else I could set?

Great Video as all ways. A little clarification or help please. At work we have a 300L vented DHW cylinder, and 2 gas boilers. This supplies an 18 bedroom Care home, with 12 bathrooms and 16 residents. Did you say in the video that in fact storing the water 70 degrees would probably be the most efficient policy as it would 'double' the overall hot water volume? ie at the point of use, cold water mix ratio would mean we use less hot water as distributed at 43 degrees to the tap/shower?

In an ideal world, yes, keeping the water temp just right so that the showers get water at your preferred shower temp, but what about houses that don't have massive space for the cylinder. I see lots of vids where they seem to be in garages or cellars with spaced-out pretty piping and that all looks very nice and the cylinders are colossal. But back in the real world where most people live in tiny houses with no space and three kids, where the wife takes a 20min shower and then three teenagers and a dad use 5-7mins each, well we need about 300l of water despite having room for a 200l tank, in that circumstance I'm afraid you need to heat the water to 50% higher temp and down-mix it, e.g. 56 degrees mixed down to 38 at the shower. I don't want to poo poo this advice, which is usually excellent and incredibly well thought-out on this channel with great physics to back it up, but on this occasion I think a caveat to acknowledge that, excepting baby boomers, no one can afford the sorts of houses our parents had and are living in seriously space-poor buildings with room for not-so-massive tanks. I just saying, that I reckon at least 60% of the installs will be in houses that cannot possibly put gigantic tanks in that would allow for 5 showers every morning within an hour of each other if the water is only heated to shower temperature. By the way, one small note on the eco-mode to drop the heat output during the hot water cycle - I found during a lot of playing around this winter, that it actually used MORE energy (although only slightly) and I think its because it was taking so long, that the outside air temp had dropped out of its maximum and it seemed better to leave it on the more powerful mode to get it done quickly during the hottest hour from about 14:15 (not 14:00 in my location, that could be due to hill side, I suspect it varies a bit), to 15:30. Also I have to say that the outside temp and the time it stayed hottest varied so much from day to day (literally 10 degrees from one day to the next on occasion) that my tests were likely not statistically terribly good. Edit, oh, also note that I have an ecodan, not a viesmann which might have far more sophisticated eco-modes, although I did watch the flow temps and it certainly does change it, dropping it and chasing about 7 degrees above the current tank temp until about 40 where it always flatlines to the target temp, I guess more snazzy kit might do something more cunning.

Are you able to share more on how you are using the flow meter to set the temperature. Are you doing this manually or have you automated it? Ideal if manufacturers integrated this but in the meantime it would be good if someone put together this logic on Home Assistant. I can control my Ecodan from HA so if I had a flow meter connected maybe I could implement this level of control.

You can estimate water usage in home assistant. You should know your normal hourly drop from parasitic loses and any heat you’ve added to the cylinder. Therefore the derivative of tank temperature with a little tracking and some template sensors should get you to an estimated hot water usage

The amount of arguments I've had with my colleagues about doing this. In the end in an electric only block I set up some flats this way while other flats were left at the standard set up, the difference was almost £100 a month and no complaints as they're required to have temperature limiters at outlets in new builds. They're heated by Heatrae Sadia Amptec units so the saving is no where near would it could be with a heat pump, sadly these flats aren't suitable for heat pumps in the future due to the short sighted design of the new builds being built. Then for 2 hours a week the immersion heats the tank to 65c for disinfection. This only works because the Amptec units can just about keep up with the hot water draw off though - one bathroom. If there are 2 bathrooms the storage temperature needs to be higher.

Some require this for accuracy yes. Personally I have not experienced this. Ever.

I recently installed smart shower valves that have an energy harvesting function to light up the dial when the water reaches my required temperature. Sadly this system needs an hot water temperature of 55C! Poor design. We have a Daikin 8Kw heat pump with a 210lt tank to serve 3 bathrooms. We only have our first bathroom ready so far and are very dissapointed with the functionality. We are finding that the system can't deliver showers for 2 people without going cooler so we have to go to the home display to check before we take a second shower. We have Solar and battery so I would be happy to use lower cost or free solar energy to get the heat pump to take the water up to 55C. Also our Daikin system sucks a bit on water temperature as when we set a schedule and ask it to maintain a temperature it fails to do so.

Are Viessmann heatpumps worth the extra cost? What makes them so different?

We’ve done a few installs where the showers won’t mix properly unless they’re fed with 55 degrees + hot water. Something to think about.

2 - 4pm is also our peak solar energy production time so we are storing excess electricity as hot water. Only had the system since last week but we seem to be importing no more electricity than we did before the installation plus we are not using gas for hot water and not paying the standing charge.

Actually on Agile 2-4pm the price is similar to overnight and the last couple of weeks with extra wind & solar was cheaper than through the night

My DHW is set to a 1 hour window at midday, to maximise use of excess PV. Certainly from April to September, my DHW is free :)

I'm having a real problem with my Daikin controls for my hot water cylinder. Its an absolute disaster. I know how to control it but it wont let me control it efficiently. Any ideas on what to do?

If you have a heat pump and solar PV and use cheap overnight electricity you can save more by lowering your hot water set temperature during the day so the heat pump only heats at night to the higher temperature when electricity is cheap. Also, never heat your water with "free" solar PV excess as that will just stop your heat pump heating the already hot water - the heat pump is much more efficient than the immersion heater and you are better off exporting the excess solar at today's export rates and importing at the cheap rate for the efficient heat pump. If you heat at a COP of three and import at half the export rate that's six times more efficient than diverting the solar to heat the water directly.

The reality here is that most people have oil fired heating on day timers. Yesterday I was sitting outside in the garden because it was 19*C! In an hour I heard 2 different neighbours heating fire up. Around noon! Most likely on timer from winter still. Most likely just stay there all summer too. You are picking at the 10% gains when most people are on oil and gas fired boilers with dumb day or week timers and a single thermostat in the coldest room in the house (downstairs hallway).

Thought part of the high temp was to deal with bugs in the hot water system. Not the case?

Is there a reason we don't just use thermal stores where the cold water feed passes through a coil in the tank to collect heat before heading to the taps? From my understanding, this would make leigonella a non-issue as the water in the tank never leaves the tank. Although, I guess the water in the tank would then need to always be hotter in order to create enough of a differential to get the tap water up to 45c before the end of the coil. Perhaps that is the reason?

Don't forget that you also see reduced scaling at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the cylinder.

Any gas boilers run an occasional legionella cycle on the hot water cylinder. Why can't heat pumps do that also. Are cylinder thermostats not sufficient? If water heating is on a schedule then no excess hot water should be there or at excess temp. Only ultra advanced cylinders can retain a lot of heat which few have.

So now you're interested in "magic widget" to plate load cylinders eh? ;-) Edit - Warning Marko should RTFM more often. See the excellent Mixergy reply below for further detail but in short the bit between the --- and --- doesn't apply. :-) Hot water tanks, once used, will have a layer of say 45C water on top of a layer of say 20C water. The exact heights of these vary depending on how empty the cylinder is. In a "conventional" cylinder with the boil in the base; gently heating this with a heat pump will bring the "20C" layer up to 40C before it starts to destrat and mix with that 45C layer. You then stir up the whole tank to 50C, 55C, or more if you particularly need extra stored water at the expense of COP. There is ALWAYS a layer of 45C water at the top though. --- The mixergy setup is designed for plug-flow heating OR fully stirred vessel. The moment that you kick off your "fully stirred" heating you're going to blend the tank down to a uniform "meh" of 25C then slowly heat the whole thing up to 45C again. In the meantime you've lost that "hot top" and so whilst the reheat process might be efficient the usability of the setup is poor. To fix this I'd suggest you need dual upper inlets and a baffle 1/2 to 2/3rds of the way up the cylinder. First take water from the base, through your plate, then inject under the baffle to "fully stir" the cold part of the cylinder. Only once that is near to the temperature of the "hot top" do you flip to stirring the whole cylinder. Design the baffle carefully and you might find that any cool water above the baffle will naturally mix itself into the lower part as you're heating it; thus maintaining the "hot top" and avoiding any need for dual inlets and switchover. It screws up the original mixergy "plug flow heating" and "heat what you need" USP but will work better with heat pumps. --- We had a similar requirement with a district heat system that needed to be >50C "hot top" at all times but also wanted to be heated by a heat pump as efficiently as possible. Stirring the bottom of the buffer tank through the heat pump at a rate of knots and allowing the warmer water to float up / cooler water to float down maintained the "hot top" whilst also retaining the "fully stirred heating" benefits for the heat pump. What are your thoughts on the continental approach of heating a primary storage (pipe the heat pump directly into the tank) then drawing hot water off that on demand via plate HX?

Thanks for the questions Mark. We just wanted to clarify a couple of points which we feel would be helpful. To what you described above, there is no ‘mixing’ of a Mixergy Cylinder when heating with our plate heat exchange arrangement. That would be true if we were returning the flow to the top of the Cylinder and stirring the entire content of it. Instead, we return the flow to the bottom into a baffle plate, which allows us to heat ‘under the thermocline’ (the thermocline being the transition between warmer water, which floats on the colder lower region of the Cylinder). By heating in this way, we obtain an additional benefit in that we are not trying to exchange thermal energy to the warmer upper layers which would either: a) inhibit heat transfer (a phenomenon we call ‘coil lock-out’) which reduces COP when reheating from a partially charged state or b) draw thermal energy from the top of the cylinder to the bottom via conduction through the coil as the flow temperature increases (an issue which can happen with large amounts of system volume on a poor control strategy). We hope this clarifies some of the points and we’d be happy to chat directly to discuss further 🙂 Ping a message to our team here >> mixergy.co.uk/contact/, and we also have this handy animation which explains further >> kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2lqxNesf5TIkcY.html

I'll add a caveat to the post above but keep it otherwise intact so that this excellent reply makes sense. :-) Did you find the buoyancy enough such that you can heat right at the base without risking (a) heating a "warm bit" at the base under the baffle before it's had a chance to settle into a thermocline or (b) driving *too much* movement and disturbing the thermocline that way? "Coil lock out" isn't a thing if you return too high in a plate loaded setup, and nor would conducting via the coil be a think; but you could conceivably stir things up something rotten unless seriously baffled / diffused. Those flowrates are material compared with just cylinder discharging.

@mixergyltd6286

2 ай бұрын

@@MarkoCosic Great question! This is something we have explored a lot. There is a ratio called the ‘Richardson number’ which defines the strength of the buoyancy force provided by the lighter water above the thermocline relative to the shearing/mixing forces associated with any flows you introduce in the bottom of the tank. A high-temperature gradient (i.e. a distinct thermocline) combined with low flow velocity (e.g. running water inlets through a diffuser/baffle) results in a high 'Richardson number'. This means you get minimal mixing and can heat under the thermocline with no problem. In early prototypes, we tested without using a baffle and we found that the higher flow velocities caused significant mixing. We could see this from the Mixergy sensor reading, showing a sudden drop in state of charge (defined as heat above 40C) during heating before it picked up again. Fitting a diffuser eliminates this problem. Hope that helps, don't hesitate to ask anything else :)
