Inside the world’s first giant heat pump that heats an entire city with CO2 and sea water
This is the world's first giant heat pump to serve as a central heating system for an entire city with tens of thousands of homes, using CO2, sea water and genius large-scale engineering.
Thanks to this heat pump, the city of Esbjerg in Denmark, will be able to quit burning coal for heating and use only renewable energy in one single move.
How does it work? What's the genius idea and secret components that make this concept viable? And, of course, how efficient can it be in energy consumption? In this video I find the answers from the engineers that created and manage the brilliant system.

I am aboard a battery electric ship operating for 5 years now
Переглядів 1,3 тис.11 місяців тому
I am aboard a battery electric ship, operating for 5 years now as a ferry between Helsingor in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden. When it was launched in 2018, it was the largest electric ship in the world. After 5 years in operation, it has proved that it can work in real life and recently it has received an update to be able to serve for the next 10 years. I went to Denmark to see it and cros...
The story of the world record Tesla with 1.9 million km and its owner
Переглядів 628 тис.Рік тому
Hansjörg von Gemmingen-Hornberg owns the Tesla Model S with the highest mileage in the world, as far as any public records show. His car has 1.9 million km / or 1.18 million miles on the odometer at the time of filming and Hansjorg aims for more. There is little precise information about him online, mostly based on some older tweets or on assumptions of how he manages to put so many miles on hi...
1.2 million km battery life in a Mercedes electric long-distance truck?
Переглядів 2,3 тис.Рік тому
How long should an electric truck last? Mercedes says its new eActros 600, being in its final tests now before launching into production, will last 1.2 million kilometers, or about 750,000 miles! But the main question is: will its battery also last 1.2 million kilometers or it will have to be replaced several times until the truck reaches that mileage? I have contacted Mercedes team, working on...
Uncovering the engineering of the world’s first electric plane to fly passengers on a regular route
Переглядів 9 тис.Рік тому
This is Heart ES-30, the electric plane which is to become the world’s first to fly passengers on a regular route. No other plane has advanced so far in its engineering to be able to operate regular commercial flights, so that intrigued me to find out if its creators have managed to overcome the crucial challenges that have prevented us to see electric planes in operation until now and that sti...
The electric BMW i7 is a 5-minutes to Rolls-Royce car

    Good warranty, but what a bad car. Any diesel car can do 800.000 kms without changing nor the motor or gearbox. For 800.000kms the Tesla needed 2 batteries and 7motors ….. if he didn’t had the warranty, that would be a lot of money in repairs.

    • @chrisdawson3175

    I''ve seen water to water heat pumps talked about as a possibility, but didn't realise that an industrial size one existed. The main problem with using sea water as the heat source I would guess is corrosion and fouling of the heat exchanger.

    Quite fascinating the way they can play with the load balancing. The heat accumulator that gives them the energy buffer to seek favorable electricity prices, electric network stabilization service to the network operator, etc. All these things click into place if you have such a flexible system. I love that. Meanwhile here in Brno, Czech republic, the city of roughly 400 000 inhabitants and an extensive network of central heating, the city plans to bring a huge heat pipe from a nuclear powerplant (some 42km away) to use its waste heat as a heating source to limit the reliance on fossil fuels. This proposed system will be incredibly expensive - some 750 000 000 EUR 🙄. even if we had 4 systems like the one in Esbjerg, it would be fraction of the cost. Oh well..

    Title is misleading. Heatpumps as been a large part of eg. Stockholms distance heating grid since the 80s.... About 2.8TWH of district heat was produced in this way in Sweden alone 2016. Many times from sewage which is warmer than seawater normaly.

  • @jacobhaagerup7816

    You mention Aalborg. I'm working at the moment on realizing a complete revamp of the district heating system there. At the moment, they are still running the only remaining coal fired plant in Denmark, but that will close in 2028. By then we will have installed four heatpumps, totalling 176 MW, similar to these, three new electric resistance boilers totalling 150 MW, to complement the one already there. The rest of the district heating supply will come from existing waste-to-heat plant and industrial waste heat from among others cement production, waste water treatment plants (and a crematorium). In Aalborg, there are 48.000 homes, which are supplied by the district heating system.

    The storage tank means this will be almost free to run for most of the year. Not in winter, of course. Denmark is not ideal for solar, but there will be massive solar overproduction available from Germany at noon. Run the pumps for an hour or two around noon and you're all set for the day.

    I haven't finished watching the video yet, but with this system, do residents have the ability to determine how hot they want their homes? If i wanted 75 degrees and my neighbor wanted 70, would be both be able to do that?

    • @jacobhaagerup7816
      @jacobhaagerup7816 2 місяці тому

      Yes. Each indivual home has a heat exchanger, so the water from the district heating isn't circulated directly in your radiators. I'd say that today 100% of radiators have thermostats or if you have underfloor radiant heating it is controlled by room thermostats. These regulate the temperature in your rooms individually as you want.

    One million km and had to replace 13 motors!!! Wtf? Arent EVs advertised as "amazing" and "incredible" and you only need to change wipers etc. Yet here we have a car where motors in average managed to get around 80k km. Shite some Fiats and Peugeots can do 300k with single ICE, and that with all the "bad" things EVs aren't supposed to have like oil changes, belts etc... What a nonsense. If this car is something special then please do a article on Mercedes with as many engine changes, it would last tens of millions of kilometers.
