Guernsey’s first water source heat pump!

We switched on Guernsey’s first water source heat pump. This system, powered by QuaarQ technology, developed and installed by E-Si heated radiators and hot water by circulating water through a ground source heat pump heat exchanger in what we call LTB’s (Low Temperature water Buffers), into the HTB (High Temperature Buffer), and then into the home. This is a bespoke design and now operational can be duplicated in many other homes not just in Guernsey, but across the world. Yet again we have installed advanced tech with the help of Ice Energy, our staff and most importantly our customers.

First Mitsubishi modulating ground source heat pump installation in Guernsey


First Mitsubishi modulating ground source heat pump installation in Guernsey and second in Channel Islands, Paul Fletcher CEO E-Si Ltd, is completing the plant room install.  Modulating heat pumps ensure flexibility in design and higher efficiency than other types of heat pumps. This is also a first for our partners Ice Energy in UK.

10 x 33m slinkies, one metre deep in the back garden of a home in St Andrew’s Guernsey.

System to be commissioned in two weeks time, the main controller, a Dataterm intelligent heating control will match the high efficiency of the Mitsubishi GSHP, making it the most efficient ground source heat pump package available in the world.

Energy from Nuclear Fusion?


La Société Guernesiaise are holding a lecture om Energy from Nuclear fusion........

Astronomy Section


Public Lecture

Energy from Nuclear Fusion?

Dr David Falla, Department of Physics, Aberystwyth University


Monday 25th October 2010

8.00 pm at the Frossard Centre, Candie Gardens


It is generally believed that nuclear fusion occurs in the central region of the Sun, and is the primary source of the Sun’s light and heat radiation.

What progress has been made so far in thermonuclear research; and what are the prospects of building a nuclear fusion reactor that would provide a plentiful and controllable supply of energy for the future?


Dr David Falla is one of the founding members of La Societe Guernesiaise Astronomy Section. Dr Falla obtained his PhD at the University of Bristol and then held research posts at Manchester and London (Queen Mary College). He has now retired from a lectureship at the University of Wales (Aberystwyth), where he is currently an honorary lecturer in the Institute of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
