A new CIBSE Approved CPD course on heat pumps has been put together by Hamworthy Heating, the UK commercial heating and hot water manufacturer. Said to be ideal for specifiers and installers wishing to understand more about heat pumps and the latest industry developments, the ‘An Introduction to Heat Pumps’ course covers the main heat pump operating principles, such as energy, refrigeration, technology and efficiency. It also highlights the different types of commercial heat pump equipment available and explores the influencing factors which need to be considered before heat pump selection.

Those who take the course will also have the opportunity to learn about heat pump design principles, as it will focus on the main points to consider when it comes to designing a heat pump system, before concluding with an overview of market drivers and government incentives.

To further support the transition to low carbon heating and hot water, the company has also launched a new white paper: ‘Hamworthy Roadmap to Decarbonisation: Planning Your Journey’ The paper provides an in-depth examination of decarbonisation, looking at the current landscape and discusses the challenges of implementing a roadmap to decarbonisation. It also highlights how heat pumps, such as the company’s Tyneham monobloc air source heat pump, can play a pivotal role in this transition.
