Knowledge Before Choosing An Air-energy Heat Pump

With the continuous increase in heating demand, the environmental protection, energy saving and safety requirements of heating equipment are getting higher and higher, and the "coal to electricity" project in the north is in full swing. As a green energy, air-energy heat pumps have been rapidly promoted in the heating industry, becoming a new favorite of green energy and attracting many fans in the heating industry. What knowledge should you have before choosing an air-energy heat pump?

What is an air-energy heat pump?

The air-energy heat pump is developed from the central air conditioner of the water system, and has one more heat exchange (higher comfort) than ordinary air conditioners. The air-energy heat pump drives the compressor to work through electric energy, absorbing and transferring the heat energy in the low-temperature air to the room. The specific process is to absorb the heat energy in the air through the refrigerant in the heat pump host, and then transfer the heat energy absorbed by the refrigerant to the water through the heat exchanger, and finally, load the heat in the water into the room through the fan coil. Floor heating or radiator release to achieve the effect of indoor heating. Of course, the air-energy heat pump can also cool and produce domestic hot water, so the air-energy heat pump can be used for heating. The cooling and manufacturing functions of domestic hot water are rare multi-purpose equipment.

Is the operation and use of air energy heat pumps simple?
Air energy heat pumps integrate intelligent control technology during the research and development process, and can access various intelligent management programs to achieve remote operation. The entire unit adopts a fully automatic control system. After using the initial settings of the corresponding process and parameters, customers only need to power on according to their needs. In general, the water supply temperature of the heat pump host will be set according to the local use environment. Customers only need to turn on the power of the heat pump host, turn on the control panel switch, adjust the air conditioning cooling mode, air conditioning heating mode, ventilation mode, floor heating mode or air conditioning plus floor heating mode, and then set the indoor temperature according to their needs. The air energy heat pump is connected to the intelligent system machine, and can also be remotely operated through the APP to achieve water supply temperature. Switching time, setting indoor temperature and other parameters, and real-time monitoring of the operating status of the equipment, so the operation and use of the air energy heat pump is very simple.

What ambient temperature is suitable for air energy heat pumps?
Most air energy heat pumps can adapt to minus 255℃ to 48℃, and some air energy heat pumps are also suitable for minus 35℃ low temperature. Air energy heat pumps are more suitable for low temperatures than ordinary air conditioners because of the application of jet enthalpy technology. According to my country's regulations, air energy heat pumps need to have an energy efficiency ratio of more than 2.0 at minus 12℃, and they can still start running at minus 25℃, so air energy heat pumps can be used in most low-temperature environments in China, but air energy heat pumps can also be divided into normal temperature air energy heat pumps. Do not confuse low-temperature air energy heat pumps with high-temperature air energy heat pumps when purchasing.

Compared with gas wall-mounted boiler heating, what are the important advantages of air energy heat pumps?

High efficiency: The heat transport of air energy heat pumps is much higher than other heating equipment. One degree of electrical energy can transport more than 3-4 times the heat energy, and the thermal efficiency is above 300%.

Low operating cost: Due to the high thermal efficiency of air energy heat pumps, energy waste is relatively small. Combined with the reduction of electricity bills and the increase in the cost of fossil fuels, the advantage of low operating cost of air energy heat pumps is becoming increasingly prominent. Compared with coal-fired, fuel oil, gas and other heating schemes, at least 30%-50% of the cost can be saved.

High environmental protection: air can only input electrical energy. In the process of providing heat, no combustion emissions will be generated, and no large amounts of dust and carbon dioxide will be generated. Harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide will not harm the environment.

Safe use: Compared with fossil fuel heating, air energy heat pumps have no harmful gas and solid emissions, and there will be no risks of gas poisoning, explosion, fire, etc. The main unit of the air energy heat pump adopts water-electricity separation technology, there is no risk of electric shock indoors, intelligent program operation, no manual duty, and no independent equipment room.

Compared with other heating methods, what are the advantages of air energy heat pumps?
The advantages of air energy heat pump heating are mainly manifested in: comfort, energy saving, environmental protection, safety, stability, long service life, strong ability to adapt to the environment, non-flammable and explosive materials, no risk of electric shock, no waste gas, sewage, and waste residue during operation, absolutely safe and environmentally friendly. The average cost of use is only 25% of electricity consumption, 30%-5% of gas consumption, and 60% of solar energy, which shows that the advantages of air energy heat pumps are very obvious.
