As the thread says
I will start the ball rolling
I was working in cornwall around Christmas last year when I was asked to inspect an installation in a large hotel in the west country, as it was on me way home I agreed to check it out.
I got there at around 8pm on a sunday night to find an 11Kw heat pump installed inside the boiler room on brackets about 3 feet up on brackets fitted virtually fitted into the boiler rooms ventilation opening. Turns out the renewable energy consultant employed by the big hotel chain had thought it would be a good idea to use the heat given off by the 2 x 200 Kw to feed the heatpump. This particular 11Kw passes 4000 cubic meters of air per hour over the evaporator I was forced to turn it off imediately because the 2 Gas boilers were open flued appliances and the heatpump was pulling the products of combustion back down the flues.
