IOR offers heat pump masterclasses
UK – The Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) has produced a series of heat pump-related videos offering technical guidance.
The Masterclass section is aimed at apprentices, students and anyone looking for a skills refresher. Topics covered by Ian Fisher include:
What are heat pumps? An overview of heat pump types
How heat pumps work: The vapour compression and water cycle
Case study: servicing a domestic heat pump
A further Masterclass, delivered by Lawrence Leask and Chris Ridge, puts the spotlight on insulation. This joint IOR and TICA guide looks at thermal insulation and offers advice on practical ways to achieve high-quality, efficient,and reliable insulation outcomes in real-world installations. Drawing on guidance from the TICA Good Practice Guide, developed in collaboration with the IOR and BESA, the session highlights the standards, materials, and techniques that underpin effective performance.
Optimising thermal insulation for domestic, communal and commercial heat pumps
Finally, Laura Bishop offers expert advice on system design and installation, including tips on how to reduce noise and what to consider before installing a condensing unit.
