COP, or coefficient of performance, indicates how much heat energy an air source heat pump generates from one unit of electricity.
Formula: COP = heating output (kW) ÷ power input (kW)
For example, Leomon BLN-012TC1 provides:
The COP is 4.56 under standard A7/W35 conditions
When a higher outlet water temperature is required, the COP of A7/W55 is 2.89
Note: Such as, if the air source heat pump is in the "A7/W35" test condition, "A7" means the outdoor air temperature is 7℃, and "W35" means the outlet water temperature is 35℃.
This indicates that the higher the water temperature, the lower the efficiency of the air source heat pump system.
