What you need to know before choosing an air source heat pump?

With the increasing demand for heating, the requirements for environmental protection, energy conservation and safety of heating equipment are becoming higher and higher. The “coal to electricity” project in the north is in full swing. As a clean energy, air source heat pump  has been rapidly promoted in the heating industry, becoming a new pet of clean energy and attracting many fans in the heating industry. What knowledge do we need to know about air source heat pump s before choosing air source heat pumps?

1. What is an air source heat pump ?

The air source heat pump  is developed from the central air conditioning of the water system. Compared with the ordinary air conditioning, it has more heat exchange (higher comfort). The air source heat pump  works by driving the compressor with electric energy to absorb and transfer the heat energy in the low-temperature air to the room. The specific process is: the heat energy in the air is absorbed by the refrigerant in the heat pump host, and then the heat energy absorbed by the refrigerant is transferred to the water through the heat exchanger. Finally, the water carries the heat and releases it indoors through the fan coil, floor heating or radiator, so as to achieve the indoor heating effect. Of course, the air source heat pump  also has the capacity of cooling and producing domestic hot water, so the air source heat pump  has the functions of heating, cooling and producing domestic hot water, and is a rare multi-purpose equipment. 

2. Is the operation and use of air source heat pump simple?

In the research and development process of air source heat pump , intelligent control technology is integrated. It can access a variety of intelligent control programs and realize remote control. The whole unit adopts a fully automatic control system. After the corresponding procedures and parameters are set at the initial stage of use, users only need to power on according to their own needs. Generally, the water supply temperature of the heat pump host will be set according to the local use environment. However, the user only needs to turn on the power supply of the heat pump host, turn on the control panel switch, adjust the equipment to the air-conditioning cooling mode, air-conditioning heating mode, ventilation mode, ground heating mode or air-conditioning plus ground heating mode, and then set the indoor temperature according to his own needs. The air source heat pump  is connected to the equipment of the intelligent system. It can also realize remote control through the app, set the water supply temperature, switch on time, indoor temperature and other parameters, and monitor the operation status of the equipment in real time. Therefore, the operation and use of the air source heat pump are very simple.

3. What ambient temperature is the air source heat pump  hot dog suitable for?

Most air source heat pump s can adapt to the temperature environment of – 25 ℃ to 48 ℃, and some air source heat pump s can adapt to the low temperature of – 35 ℃. The air source heat pump  is more suitable for low temperature than ordinary air conditioners because of the use of jet enthalpy increasing technology. According to the national regulations, the air source heat pump  needs to have an energy efficiency ratio of more than 2.0 at minus 12 ℃ and can still be started and operated at minus 25 ℃. Therefore, the air source heat pump  can be used in most low-temperature environments in China. However, there are also types of air source heat pump s, which can be divided into normal temperature air source heat pump s Low temperature air source heat pump  and ultra-low temperature air source heat pump  should not be confused when purchasing.
