Why does Campus Heating Prefer Air Source Heat Pumps?
2025-10-18
As winter approaches, the most concerned issue of the Fengnan Education Bureau of Tangshan City is how to make school heating energy-saving and safe?
In the past, most schools used traditional heating facilities such as coal-fired boilers and oil-fired boilers as the heat source of the hot water system. When the equipment is running, there are disadvantages such as high heating cost, high maintenance cost, and great safety hazards, and it will also cause great pollution to the environment.
With the continuous and in-depth promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction, the Fengnan Education Bureau of Tangshan City selected air source heat pumps for the heating renovation project of primary and secondary schools. During the purchase period, many brands and products were screened, and Leomon heat pumps were finally selected for its service.
1. Constant temperature comfort -35℃ stable heating
Tangshan, Hebei Province belongs to the temperate monsoon climate zone, with mild spring and summer, cool autumn, cold and dry winter, and the lowest temperature can reach -20℃. In such a severe environment, ordinary heating machines usually cannot be operated outdoors.
After the project was confirmed, Leomon's professional technical team quickly conducted a field investigation of the project. Combining previous project experience, local climate environment and the actual needs of the school, the equipment installation location was determined after repeated communication with the project leader, and the school was equipped with a Leomon60 HP ultra-low temperature air source heat pump as a heating device.
The ultra-low temperature air source heat pump has innovative technologies such as intelligent control, AI adaptive defrosting, and EVI jet enthalpy increase technology, which greatly improves the heating efficiency of the heat pump under low temperature conditions. It can also maintain stable operation in the ultra-low temperature weather of minus 35℃, providing teachers and students with a comfortable living and learning environment.
2. Energy saving and environmental protection reduce school expenditures
The air source heat pump adopts remote intelligent control, which can set the indoor temperature for each period. When students are resting, the temperature in the classroom can be set at a low temperature, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, reduces the school's expenditures, and can ensure the insulation of indoor pipes and water pipes in winter, preventing freezing and cracking, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
At present, the heat pump has been running for two heating seasons in primary and secondary schools in Fengnan District, Tangshan City. According to feedback from school leaders, Leomon air source heat pumps have been able to meet supply needs, save labor input costs and management costs, reduce operating expenses, achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and save more than 200,000 yuan in heating costs each year. Even in extremely cold conditions, heating needs can be guaranteed, which has won unanimous praise and praise from teachers and students.
3. Avoid safety hazards to ensure the safety of teachers and students
Heating safety is the top priority of campus heating. Compared with coal-fired boilers, air source heat pumps do not use fuel, do not produce polluting emissions, and will not cause safety accidents such as fires; in addition, its water-electricity separation design also eliminates the risk of electric shock, making heating safer.
Leomon's service
Over the years, Leomon has been favored by so many users, in addition to its mature heat pump technology and excellent quality, because it has a strong product supply capacity and perfect installation and after-sales service capabilities.
Air source heat pumps are widely used for clean heating in hotels, factories, schools, office buildings and other fields. The products are exported to more than 60 countries, focusing on providing customers with customized energy-saving and environmentally friendly heating and cooling solutions. In the future, Leomon will continue to deepen its presence in the heat pump field and provide more suitable heating and cooling experiences for more users and a wider range of scenarios.

How does Ambient Temperature Affect the COP of an Air Source Heat Pump?
2025-10-11
1. Thermodynamic Background
Based on the Carnot cycle, the theoretical maximum COP of an air source heat pump is defined as:
COP_max = T_hot / (T_hot - T_cold)
Where T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. The formula shows that the smaller the temperature difference between the source and the sink, the higher the efficiency.
In real systems, the actual operating temperature is much lower than this theoretical maximum. According to the ASHRAE Handbook (2020), modern air source heat pumps typically only achieve 40% to 60% of the Carnot limit due to thermodynamic losses and component inefficiencies.
Engineering Insight: The Carnot principle is a valuable benchmark, but real-world system behavior is driven by compressor performance, refrigerant thermophysical properties, and system control strategies.
2. Field Data
The European Air Source Heat Pump Association (EHPA) provides seasonal performance test results that highlight the impact of falling ambient temperatures:
When the outdoor temperature drops from 7°C to -7°C:
The air source heat pump COP drops from 4.2 to 3.1 (-26%)
The ground source heat pump COP drops from 5.1 to 4.3 (-16%)
These trends are prevalent in climate zones with higher heating demand. For example, in southern Finland, some residential units have recorded COP values below 2.0 during prolonged cold weather.
3. COP Reduction Mechanisms
Lower outdoor temperatures can cause a significant drop in the COP of air source heat pumps for the following reasons:
1) Lower evaporation pressure, higher compressor pressure ratio, and increased energy consumption
2) Reduced refrigerant mass flow, impairing heat transfer to the evaporator
3) Frequent defrost cycles, which consume auxiliary power and disrupt steady-state operation

How much Electricity does a 100-square-meter House Consume Per Hour when using an Air Source Heat Pump?
2025-10-04
What is the effect of a large number of air source heat pumps? How much electricity does it take to start the machine for one hour?
Taking a house of 100 square meters as an example, using an air source heat pump requires about a 5HP air source heat pump with a heating power of about 4KW, which means that the power consumption is about 4 degrees per hour. So, does it mean that it takes nearly 100 degrees of electricity to run 24 hours a day? Of course not. When the indoor temperature reaches the set value, the inverter air source heat pump will shut down directly, and the inverter air source heat pump will enter a low-frequency operation state, and the power consumption is very small at this time.
In other words, the energy-saving effect of the air source heat pump is closely related to the insulation of the house, because when the floor heating is heated for the first time, the ground and walls will be heated first. If the house has poor insulation and heat loss is fast, the actual operation time of the air source heat pump will be extended, and the power consumption will naturally be greater.
In addition, the operating cost of the air source heat pump is also closely related to the outdoor ambient temperature. After all, the air source heat pump is a device that only needs a small amount of electricity to drive and mainly compresses and absorbs heat from the air to generate heat. When the ambient temperature is high, the air source heat pump consumes the same amount of electricity and can generate more heat. In the icy and snowy environment, its energy efficiency will be greatly reduced.
However, you don’t have to worry about the air source heat pump not being able to generate heat in a low temperature environment. At present, Leomon’s new generation of ultra-low temperature Jingxiang A7 air source heat pump can already generate heat stably in a low temperature environment of -35 degrees Celsius, which can meet the heating needs of most areas in the north.
