Although air source heat pumps are clean, energy-saving and environmentally friendly heating equipment, there have been some negative information online recently, such as air source heat pumps are power hogs and power tigers. First of all, it cannot be denied that this is false information. Why is there such a hot topic about the high power consumption of air source heat pumps? Leomon Heat Pump conducted a market survey based on the situation and found that the high power consumption of air source heat pumps is caused by the following four aspects:
Air source heat pump technology is a technology to improve energy quality. It is not an energy conversion process and is not subject to the 100% energy conversion efficiency limit. The heat released into the water by the heat pump water heater is not directly generated by electric heating, but by transporting the heat source to the water through the heat pump water heater, so the average energy efficiency ratio can reach more than 400%. That is, 1 kWh of electricity can generate 4 kWh of electricity through the heat pump.
1. There is a problem with the quality of the heat pump itself
In recent years, due to the promotion of the "coal to electricity" project in the north, the market prospects of air source heat pumps are very good, attracting countless investors and brands to enter. However, most of these brands do not have their own core technology and can only produce miscellaneous assembly machines. Although the machines they produce are cheap, their performance is difficult to guarantee, especially the low-temperature air source heat pumps used for heating, which often need to work in extremely cold and severe weather, and have higher requirements for product quality.
2. Problems with heat pump installation
In the air source heat pump industry, there is a saying that "three points depend on the product, and seven points depend on the installation". As a high-tech equipment, air source heat pumps not only have strict requirements on product quality, but also have very complicated installation and maintenance. Among them, water pump installation, pipeline selection, heating terminal materials and other factors will affect the power consumption of the entire air source heat pump system.
3. Unreasonable design plan
The heating system requires professionals to design according to different heating needs and objective environments. If the design is unreasonable, such as the improper selection of the water pump supporting the air source heat pump and the improper selection of the heating terminal, it will also lead to a relatively high power consumption of the air source heat pump system.
4. Insulation effect of the house
Experimental data over the years show that under the same weather, geography, heating area, unit conditions, etc., the energy consumption difference between a house with good insulation effect and a room with poor insulation effect may reach half or even double. The insulation condition of the wall is all factors that affect the power consumption of the air source heat pump system
Consult professionals in time
If your air source heat pump in your home has a situation where the power consumption is gradually increasing, you must really check the problem and consult the manufacturer's technicians for solutions. This is an effective way to solve the problem. During use, the air source heat pump must also be properly maintained and maintained, which not only allows the equipment to achieve maximum efficiency, but also greatly extends the service life of the air source heat pump.
