Air Source Heat Pump Systems (ASHP)

The heat pump course is specifically aimed at existing fossil fuel plumbing and heating engineers and gives them the necessary training to upskill their existing skills to install heat pumps. The course allows delegates to continue to learn, develop and practise the skills required for employment within the Building Engineering Services (BES) Renewable sector. 

The objective of this course is for delegates to demonstrate they know and understand the requirements for installing heat pump systems. This will include the different operational characteristics of each type of heat pump, namely air pumps, their components, the principles of heat pump selection, system design, emitter selection, hydraulics, the preparatory work required for heat pump installations and the requirements to install, commission and hand over heat pump systems.

Delegates will know the health and safety risks and regulations and standards relating to the installation, testing and commissioning of heat pump systems.

The course contains the following sections:

• Heat Pump Technology (Non-refrigerant Circuits) Course
• Air Source Heat Pump Technology (Non-Refrigerant Circuit) Course

Practical and theory training: This course is a blend of both practical and theory sessions to allow delegates to practice the skills and knowledge gained during the course before assessment.
