In general, air source heat pump cooling consumes more electricity than heating. This is because the cooling process requires the transfer of heat energy from a low temperature environment (indoors) to a high temperature environment (outdoors), and this heat transfer process usually requires additional energy consumption.
In air source heat pump cooling, the working principle of the heat pump system is to recirculate the working fluid to achieve the purpose of heat exchange. The refrigerant absorbs indoor heat, then compresses it to increase the temperature, and finally releases the heat to the outdoor air. This process consumes electricity to drive the compressor and other auxiliary equipment, as well as to maintain the normal operation of the refrigerant in the cycle.
In air source heat pump heating, the working principle of the heat pump system is to supply the indoor heat energy demand by absorbing heat from the outdoor air. Since the outdoor temperature is generally low and the heat required is low, the energy consumption in the heating process will be relatively low compared to the cooling process.
However, the specific energy consumption will also be affected by many factors, including climate conditions, indoor temperature, equipment performance and many other factors. Therefore, the energy consumption of air source heat pumps is different in different environments, and the energy efficiency should be evaluated and compared in combination with the specific equipment characteristics and application environment.
