‘active mode coefficient of performance’ (SCOPon) or ‘active mode primary energy ratio’ (SPERon) means the average coefficient of performance of the heat pump space heater or heat pump combination heater using electricity in active mode, or the average primary energy ratio of the heat pump space heater or heat pump combination heater using fuels in active mode for the designated heating season.

‘seasonal coefficient of performance’ (SCOP) or ‘seasonal primary energy ratio’ (SPER) is the overall coefficient of performance of a heat pump space heater or heat pump combination heater using electricity or the overall primary energy ratio of a heat pump space heater or heat pump combination heater using fuels, representative of the designated heating season, calculated as the reference annual heating demand divided by the annual energy consumption.

(c)The theoretical part of the heat pump installer training should give an overview of the market situation for heat pumps and cover geothermal resources and ground source temperatures of different regions, soil and rock identification for thermal conductivity, regulations on using geothermal resources, feasibility of using heat pumps in buildings and determining the most suitable heat pump system, and knowledge about their technical requirements, safety, air filtering, connection with the heat source and system layout.

The Commission's investigations have revealed that Rexroth's axial-piston pumps compete with Bosch's radial-piston pumps and that therefore there is a common market for piston pumps.

The first programme is the Post-Flood Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Programme of 15 million ecus, which consists of : - an agricultural component of 7.3 million ecus, comprising supply of spare parts for the repair of small scale irrigation pumps damaged by the flood, supply of new irrigation pumps as replacement of lost or destroyed pumps and spare parts for trucks which are essential for transport to and from the flood-affected areas in remote parts of Northern Sudan; in this region small scale farmers were the most severely hit by the August floods and rains, which destroyed many of their houses and most of their irrigation infra ...[+++]structure (pumps and irrigation canals); - a transport component of 7.7 million ecus, comprising reconstruction of the major road bridge of Geneina in Darfur Province in Western Sudan and earth moving equipment, materials and motor trolleys to the Sudan Railways Corporation for permanent repair and strengthening of railway embankments damaged by the floods and the reconstruction of a damaged railway briilways Support Programme of 19 million ecus, of which an important part (11.5 million ecus) consists of the reconstruction of 5 major bridges and 18 smaller bridges and drainage structures on the Western railway line from Kosti to Babanousa, aimed at making this railway line more reliable during the rainy seasons, during which until now, due to insufficient drainage, flood damage has caused railway traffic to be disrupted each year/.
