Building Integrated By Design

Marshcroft Energy are owner/operators of a highly effective off-grid battery system, with lots of 2V Lead-Acid cell units. When maintained properly, they have the potential to last much longer than Li-Ion, at much lower cost. #Lead #Acid #Battery #OffGrid

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

The progress that Li-Ion batteries have made is fantastic. However that does not make these batteries suitable for every application. To tackle our future needs, we must look at all existing and theoretical options available.

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

There are 5 main considerations to improving the battery industry. Quality Control, Diagnostics, Modelling, EoL Thresholds, and SoC/SoH estimation. If we can focus innovation in these catagories, we can develop an energy network that can support the full use of renewables.

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

The energy sector needs to move fast to keep up with promises to cut CO2 emissions. Renewables are now low cost, but intermittent. We need storage! Our upcoming SM posts will look at lots of battery tech, give you some industry insights, and how we can engineer the energy future.

#ManufacturingMonday A Victorian farm house is not the easiest location for a ventilation system. The curious features and difficult spaces can make installing standard sized pieces very difficult. That’s why here at #MarshcroftEnergy, we #Design, #CFD test, #Build and #Install

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

#UK #Energy needs to be renewable. With #PV being one of the strongest contenders, we need to be using this source to power the most load intensive products, such as #Electric #Cars. But if your car is away all day, how do you charge from your panels at home? #SpareBattery #FTF

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

We try to use only fully renewable resources. However, while the house is still being built, heat is sometimes required from some more traditional sources. Burning wood is effective, but seems a waste of material to us. What if we turn our waste, into material? #ThermalThursday

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

The quality difference between using a #saw #blade and using the @PipeLaggerPro to cut pipe insulation cannot be stressed enough. This useful little gadget makes angle cuts reliable and repeatable, with clean edges - and no #mess! #WorkerWednesday

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

Maintaining all site tools can be a real challenge, but not as challenging as using a #blunt #drill #bit all day! Our team have #Sharpened their skills, and now our drill bits will never be blunt again, Thanks to our rolling #Grind #Wheel. #ToolingTuesday

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

When the machines are fired up and our team are on internal #Joinery, they produce a lot of #sawdust - Finding a useful way to use up this waste product is important, so we are developing a system to try and use it up! Keep up with #MEltd twitter to see how… #ManufacturingMonday

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

We couldn't agree more! #StainlessSteel #Mapress is a truly excellent product and we are happy to showcase it in our build.

[Geberit @GeberitUK]

Quality materials for the highest demands. Geberit Mapress is a highly effective supply systems that can be used for a range of diverse applications. 

✔️ Simple and rapid installation
✔️ No hot works

Water is the most abundant and useful working fluid on this planet. Its fascinating properties and non-toxic nature helps to explain why it has been used for thousands of years in engineering projects. #Clean #Heat #Energy #Storage #ThermodynamicThursday

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

Here at #MarshcroftEnergy we have developed significant experience with all forms of building service design, fabrication, and installation. This includes #HVAC , #Electrical and #PressFitPlumbing. #WhackyWednesday #Services #EcoBuild #Victorian #Farm #House #Insulation #WIP

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

#TimberTuesday @Trada_ has a fantastic tool on their site that shows you all the common species of woods, with useful info on sourcing and images showing #grain patterns. https://t.co/ZLeColIb72 - have also written some thought provoking case studies like #Macallan #Distillery

#MechanicalMonday #HVAC systems are designed to create thermally comfortable areas, notably different in each room. #Bathroom is the warmest (22-24*C, + often requires high level ventilation). There is precious heat energy in all that extract. #Reduce #Reuse #ProbablyNotRecycle

#FutureTechFriday in a modern society where personal data collection and analysis is commonplace, how will users feel about #AI #Learning integration into homes? Are you comfortable having your activity studied? #Alexa #GoogleHome #SkyNet

#ThermodynamicThursday The difference between a #Nozzle and a #Diffuser for flow characteristics? A nozzle increases velocity at the expense of pressure, and vice versa for a diffuser. #Image from Y.A.Cengel: Thermodynamics, An Engineering Approach.

#WhackyWednesay When threading into timber, the threads can be very delicate. Using @JETPRESSLimited #TypeD #WallNut #Inserts means that a permanent thread can be created, that is more torsion and vibration resistant. They get the #MEltd seal of approval!

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

The barge boards: 6 years on and going strong. Low maintenance, long lasting, and beautiful. It has turned out to be the perfect partnership - @osmo_uk & @Accoya #TimberTuesday #Pickled #Wood #Stained #Construction

@intrepidia @FelderUK Hi there @intrepidia, It is the @whitehilltools 125 x 55 x 30 Bore Steel Limiter Head, hope that helps!

[Marshcroft Energy @MarshcroftUK]

#MechanicalMonday @FelderUK makes some of the best wood-working tools that we use, and accurate reproduction of bespoke Victorian trim is just 1 major benefit.
