With the cost-of-living crisis at the forefront of consumers’ minds, the drive for low-carbon heating is paramount for manufacturers and governmental bodies. To secure a low carbon future, an alternative approach to heating the UK must be realised.
Building on the success of previous fluid machinery seminars, Optimising Fluid Machinery: Heat Pumps and Hydrogen Boilers, will delve into the challenges of utilising hydrogen for heat and the manufacturing and installation of heat pumps.
Currently, only hydrogen-blend boilers are available, meaning they still rely primary on natural gas. However, the mechanical engineering community is developing techniques and methodologies by which hydrogen may be incorporated into existing infrastructure and produced through lower carbon means.
Across industry, work on a range of methods and application areas is being undertaken to solve the problem of providing decarbonised homes. This seminar will highlight the areas in which mechanical engineers are developing products and roadmaps to provide efficient, low-cost heating at scale.
Through an investigation of a range of decarbonisation technologies including heat pumps, district heating, heat interface units, waste heat storage systems, hydrogen boilers, hybrids and hydrogen blend boilers, this seminar will give an overview of all areas of engineering progress in the low carbon heating sector.
It is unclear as to what combination of engineering solutions will provide customers long term, sustainable heating. With a future and consumer base that requires an increasingly complex and varied set of solutions to the problem of decarbonisation, this IMechE seminar seeks to provide a forum for engineers, researchers, and global manufacturers to come together and share their challenges and project development in the pursuit of the same goal of low carbon domestic heat.
