Installation at The Kings House Church air conditioning heat-pumps

Orion air conditioning & refrigeration ltd complete the installation of a new church air conditioning heat-pump heating system for the The Kings House Church Edmonton London UK. The Kings House Church is a excellent church based community centre serving the local community with many great services for those who are disadvantaged. This fantastic facility was once a industrial building which was brought together by the hard work of the The Kings House Church. Since the church was established the area has come to life and brought the community together and brought the area from a run dow waste land industrial estate to a thriving center.














What air conditioning heat-pump was installed in The Kings House Church:

10 x Chigo KFR32GW-X1C Wall Mounted (3.5kW 12000 Btu) heat pump Air Conditioning units which provided enough heat for the 1 area. These units have a amazing COP (3.65 initial input) which means that every 1000w of electrical energy going in produces 3650 watts of heat. For more information on heat-pump inverters please here.

The Kings House Church air conditioning Heat-pump efficiency and CO2 emissions:

This church air conditioning heat-pump system, because slightly undersized for the area took around half a hour to heat fully but once warm the outdoor heat-pump inverter units slowed down because the temperature had been reached therefore just pumping small amounts of heat in to maintain heat.


Heat-pump installation criteria:

This church air conditioning heat-pump installation was undertaken by lead engineer Gary Geza Toth with assistance from installation engineer Shane Fogarty, (both employed and trained by Orion). The The Kings House Church air conditioning heat-pump unit has a life span of around 15 to 25 years depending on their use. Installation time 1 days.

Metal thieves getting jail for conspiring to release ozone-depleting substances.

IN WHAT is thought to be one of the first such cases of its kind, three thieves in Georgia, USA, convicted of stealing copper coils for scrap from air conditioning units, have pleaded guilty to additional charges of conspiring to release ozone-depleting substances.

The three men, Daniel Arnot, Corey Beard and Justin Joyner, were indicted in June last year on one conspiracy count and 12 counts of releasing R22 into the environment. As reported in ACR News (August 2010), this involved the dismantling of approximately 35 air conditioning units from 14 locations, including a church.

Arnot and Beard could now face millions of dollars in fines and up to 65 years in federal prison. Joyner, who only pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy and releasing ozone-depleting chemicals, faces a maximum jail sentence of 10 years. Sentencing dates have not yet been set. Arnot's wife is awaiting trial on similar charges.

As the price of raw materials rises around the world, thieves are cashing in by stealing metal for scrap. The popularity of air conditioning in the US makes the copper coils in the condensing units particularly attractive to thieves. With copper selling for around $3 a pound in the US, thieves can expect $1.50 a pound from scrap metal merchants.

Installation of Air conditioning heat pumps Church heating, Somerby, Leicestershire UK

Installation of Somerby Church air conditioning heat-pumps:

Orion air conditioning and refrigeration ltd were asked to look into the installation of a new church air conditioning heat-pump heating system for the All Saints Church,Somerby, Leicestershire (The first of its kind in England). All Saints church is a beautiful 13th Century Church with great architecture set in the picture postcard village of Somerby Leicestershire, UK. The church had around 200 meters/Squared of area that used a oil fired hot air system which had now failed and beyond economical repair. All Saints church Somerby was in need of a economical and green way of heating.

What air conditioning heat-pumps were installed in the church:

Units we installed include the 5 x Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial - SRK63ZE-S1 Wall Mounted (6.3kW 21000 Btu) HYPER-INVERTER, 1 x Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial SRK40-HGS Wall Mounted (3.7 kW 13000 Btu) Fixed speed and 1 x Mitsubishi Heavy Industrial SRK20ZGX-S (2.8 kW / 9000 Btu) HYPER-INVERTER Air Conditioning units which provided enough heat for the entire building. These units have a amazing COP (5.45 initial input on SRK20-ZGX) which means that every 1000w of electrical energy going in produces 5450 watts of heat.

Background of the church air conditioning heat-pumps:

Parish church councillor Fuad Hamzeh was quoted on various heating systems including wet systems such as radiators and oil fired boilers which came in almost four times the price of the Mitsubishi Heat-Pump air conditioning church units which where installed. The Mitsubishi heat-pump air conditioning systems provided a great value way of heating a beautiful old church within a short space of time and with little cost and also reduces CO2 emissions.

Church air conditioning Heat-pump efficiency and CO2 emissions:

This church air conditioning heat-pump system, because slightly undersized for the area took around half a hour to heat fully but once warm the outdoor heat-pump inverter units slowed down because the temperature had been reached therefore just pumping small amounts of heat in to maintain heat. The 200msq area was consuming 15 Amps on 1phase 240V supply. This works out to be around 25p/hour to heat this huge area and reduced CO2 emissions by at least 60%..

Heat-pump installation criteria:

This church air conditioning heat-pump installation was undertaken by lead engineer Arron Denton with assistance from installation engineer Craig Fogarty, (both employed and trained by Orion). Because the church is grade 1 listed extra care was needed to keep the integrity of the building in line with planning applications and keep the history of the church intact. All pipe and services were installed on the outside of the building on cable tray at the back of the church and white plastic trunking within the building at low level (see BBC TV coverage for over view) which was later painted to fit in with the church colours. The church air conditioning heat-pump units have a life span of around 15 to 25 years depending on their use. Installation time 14 days.

Conclusion of the All Saints Church air conditioning Heat-pump:

The installation was blessed on the 23rd March 2009 by the Bishop of Leicester the Right Rev Tim Stevens on his 2009 tour of the diocese and the event was televised on a BBC TV channel on the 24th March.

The general consensus was that All Saints Somerby must be the warmest church in England!!!!.
