What is the Difference between Commercial and Household Air Source Heat Pumps?

Air source heat pumps are clean energy with the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, safety and easy management. They are favored by many schools, hotels, families, etc. Now they are widely used in hot water and heating supply systems in schools, hotels, families, etc., and are well received; according to their use, they are mainly classified into two forms: commercial air source heat pumps and household air source heat pumps.

So what is the difference between commercial heat pumps and household heat pumps, which are both air source heat pumps?

In fact, depending on the user objects, air source heat pumps still have certain differences in the following aspects.

The difference between household air source heat pumps and commercial ones:

1. Appearance

The household air source heat pumps on the market now have the function of one machine with multiple uses. Usually, the design of air source heat pumps is relatively compact, and the appearance is smaller than that of commercial ones. Commercial air source heat pumps are mainly used in large places such as hotels and clubs. The required cooling/heating capacity is several times or even dozens of times higher than that of household use. This requires the unit to carry a larger power and a longer operating time, so the spatial structure is also relatively large. Careful friends will find that commercial air source heat pumps usually have 5-6 heat pumps running at the same time.

2. Water use method

Household air source heat pumps are instantly heated and hot water is supplied 24 hours a day. From the perspective of profitability, commercial air source heat pumps have a time-divided water supply method, and the actual water supply is very stable.

3. Heating method

Household air source heat pumps currently mostly use circulating heating, commercial air source heat pumps have circulating heating methods, and direct heating heat pumps are also used in many occasions. Household direct heating heat pumps are also a good research and development direction.

4. Differences in control functions

Commercial air source heat pumps are maintained and operated by professional technicians, so the control functions are relatively comprehensive. Corresponding parameters are set in different environments to maximize energy saving. The control function of household air source heat pumps can be made simpler.
