Division 3.6 Default values for SPF and Qusable for heat pumps

United Kingdom

The default values for H_HP and SPF (SCOP_net) for electrically driven heat pumps are as set out in the table below:

Table 1

Default values for H_HP and SPF (SCOP_net) for electrically driven heat pumps

The default values for H_HP and SPF (SPER_net) for heat pumps driven by thermal energy are as set out in the table below:

Table 2

Default values for H_HP and SPF (SPER_net) for heat pumps driven by thermal energy

		Climate conditions
		Warmer climate		Average climate		Colder climate
Heat Pump Energy source:	Energy source and distribution medium	H_HP	SPF(SPER_net)	H_HP	SPF(SPER_net)	H_HP	SPF(SPER_net)
Aerothermal energy	Air-Air	1 200	1,2	1 770	1,2	1 970	1,15
	Air-Water	1 170	1,2	1 640	1,2	1 710	1,15
	Air-Air (reversible)	120	1,2	710	1,2	1 970	1,15
	Air-Water (reversible)	120	1,2	660	1,2	1 710	1,15

Geothermal energy	Ground-Air	1 340	1,4	2 070	1,4	2 470	1,4
Geothermal energy	Ground-Water	1 340	1,6	2 070	1,6	2 470	1,6
Hydrothermal heat	Water-Air	1 340	1,4	2 070	1,4	2 470	1,4
Hydrothermal heat	Water-Water	1 340	1,6	2 070	1,6	2 470	1,6

The default values set out in Tables 1 and 2 above are typical for the segment of heat pumps with a SPF above the minimum threshold, meaning that heat pumps with SPF below 2,5 have not been taken into consideration when the typical values have been established^f1.

Editorial notes

X1: Substituted by Corrigendum to Commission Decision 2013/114/EU of 1 March 2013 establishing the guidelines for Member States on calculating renewable energy from heat pumps from different heat pump technologies pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Official Journal of the European Union L 62 of 6 March 2013).

Footnotes

f1: This implies that Member States can consider the values set out in Tables 1 and 2 as average values of the electrically driven heat pumps that have SPF above the minimum 2,5.
