How does an air source heat pump work?
Are there different types of air source heat pump installations?
Most home heating systems either burn fuel or convert electricity into heat. But heat pumps are different, as they don’t generate heat.
Instead, they move existing heat energy from outside into your home. This makes them more efficient. Since they deliver more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume. So, a heat-pump system typically costs less to run than a traditional heating system too.
An air-source heat pump works much like a fridge operating in reverse to heat your home. Outside air is blown over a network of tubes filled with a refrigerant. This warms up the refrigerant, and it turns from a liquid into a gas.
This gas then passes through a compressor, which increases the pressure. Compression also adds more heat – similar to how the air hose warms up when you top up the air pressure in your tires.
These compressed, hot gases now pass into a heat exchanger, surrounded by cool air or water. The refrigerant transfers its heat to this cool air or water, making it warm. And this is circulated around your home to provide heating. Meanwhile, the refrigerant condenses back into a cool liquid and starts the cycle all over again!
Yes! Most air source heat pump installations in the UK are what’s known as'air to water'types. In these systems, the heat is transferred into a conventional 'wet' heating system. And this set-up gives you hot water and central heating.
A minority of UK air source heat pumps are 'air to air. And, as their name suggests, these transfer the heat into the air, which is distributed around the home. They don't provide hot water, though.
Because air source heat pumps give out less heat than a boiler, they’re not always suitable as a straightforward boiler replacement. Especially because there are still a lot of older, poorly insulated homes in the UK.
But heat pumps can often be combined with an existing central heating system and boiler. In these hybrid air-source heat pump systems, the heat pump provides a ‘base load’ for the day-to-day heating and hot water. With the boiler only firing up to provide hotter water. Or a quick heat boost during a particularly cold snap.
Hybrid systems can be a great way to reduce costs and carbon emissions in older properties. Particularly if you’re not on a gas supply, so you’re reliant on irregular and expensive deliveries of fuels, like LPG or heating oil.

Here is the content list:
1. What are the advantages of space heating heat pumps?
(1) Low operating cost
(2) Energy-saving and environmental protection
(3) Beautiful and harmonious
2. What are the disadvantages of space heating heat pumps?
(1) Low operating cost
The space heating heat pump utilizes the relatively stable characteristics of the underground temperature throughout the year, and the COP value is as high as 4 or more. When the same cooling and heating effect is produced, the space heating heat pump saves 30%-40% of the electricity of the general central air conditioner.
(2) Energy saving and environmental protection
The indoor side of the space heating heat pump is transported by chilled water, reducing the refrigerant charge, thereby reducing air pollution; the outdoor side heat exchange environment is changed from the atmosphere to soil or water, thereby reducing atmospheric heat emission and reducing the heat island effect. The space heating heat pump consumes only a small amount of electric energy, and will not produce carbon dioxide and other environmentally polluting gases during operation, and will not affect the health of indoor personnel due to leakage.
(3) Beautiful and harmonious
The host of the space heating heat pump does not exchange heat with the atmosphere. It only needs to be placed in a well-ventilated place. It can be sheltered and designed in the basement and garage without affecting the overall decoration effect of the facade and courtyard.
The price of space heating heat pumps is directly related to the residential area. At present, the price of a household space heating heat pump system is more than 700 per square meter, which is relatively high in initial investment cost.
It is the responsibility of each manufacturer to produce space heating heat pumps that meet the standards, to ensure the healthy development of the space heating heat pumps market. MICOE conducts many tests on space heating heat pumps before they leave the factory, and the quality qualification rate is guaranteed. If you are in the space heating heat pumps business, you can consider our cost-effective products.
In recent years, as the country vigorously promotes clean energy, a new type of safe, environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and comfortable air heat pump hot water method has emerged at the right time and has become the first choice for many families. For everyone to have a more comprehensive understanding of the air source heat pump hot water system,the following will introduce the heating principle of the air source heat pump in detail, and I hope it will be helpful to you.
Here is the content list:
1.What is the working principle of the air source heat pump hot water system?
2.What are the advantages of air source heat pump hot water (heater) units compared with solar water heaters?
3.What are the characteristics of domestic air source heat pump water heaters?
The air source heat pump hot water unit consists of a compressor-condenser-throttle-evaporator-compression mechanism into a circulatory system. The heat medium (also called refrigerant) circulates in the system under the action of the air source heat pump. It completes the gaseous pressure increase and temperature rise process in the compressor (the temperature is as high as 80-100°C). After entering the condenser, it releases high-temperature heat to heat the water, and at the same time, it is cooled and transformed into a liquid state. When it runs to the evaporator, the liquid will quickly endothermic and evaporate and transform into a gaseous state again, while the temperature drops to minus 20°C-30°C. At this time, the air around the evaporator will continuously transfer low-temperature heat to the heat medium. The continuous circulation of the heat medium realizes the process of converting the low-temperature heat in the air into high-temperature heat and heating the cold water.
(1) Good power-saving effect: air source heat pump water heaters can save 65-80℅ on average, and electric-assisted solar water heaters can save 40-65℅ on average, and can only reach 70℅ under special conditions.
(2) Small investment: Taking electricity-saving 65℅ as the standard, the investment of air source heat pump hot water unit is only about 70℅ of the electric-assisted solar water heater.
(3) The storage tank is small: the storage tank of the solar water heater should be configured according to the maximum hot water supply throughout the day, and the air source heat pump hot water unit can produce hot water at any time, so the storage tank of the air source heat pump is only configured for the maximum supply. 50~70℅ of the amount of hot water can meet the requirements.
(4) Small footprint: solar water heaters often occupy the entire floor area, and the floor area is not large enough for users above 9 floors. The air source heat pump hot water unit system only needs 1/9 of the area occupied by the solar hot water unit. (The domestic air source heat pump hot water unit can be installed on the balcony or garage, and it hardly occupies the effective building area.)
There are many models of air source heat pump water heaters for domestic use. It is a new type of high-efficiency, safe, environmentally friendly, and superior home central water heater designed for medium and high-quality families. Its main features are:
(1) Split design: the installation of a household air source heat pump water heater is very convenient.
(2) Microcomputer control: The domestic air source heat pump water heater realizes fully automated operation.
(3) Pressure-bearing water tank design: domestic air source heat pump water heater has sufficient water pressure, and the pressure of cold and hot water is automatically balanced.
The above is all about the air source heat pump hot water system. If you want a steady supply of hot water at a lower price, you might as well install a household air source heat pump water heater in your home. First of all, you should choose a good air source heat pump, you can consider using MICOE's cost-effective products.
The all-in-one heat pump is a water heater that can provide the whole family with different hot water needs with large water volume, high water pressure, and constant temperature 24 hours a day, while consuming the least energy to complete the above requirements.
Here is the content list:
The working principle of the all-in-one heat pump
Features of all-in-one heat pump
Instructions for use of all-in-one heat pump
A complete all-in-one heat pump consists of 2 main parts: Manufacture the air-conditioning part and the heating hot water part. But in fact, these two parts are closely linked, inseparable, and must work at the same time. That is, while heating hot water, it cools the kitchen. In other words, while refrigerating the kitchen, it is also heating hot water.
Its internal structure is mainly composed of four core components: compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator.
The working process is as follows: the compressor compresses the returning low-pressure refrigerant and turns it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and discharges it. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flow through the copper pipe wound outside
the water tank, and the heat is transferred to the water tank through the copper pipe to cool down. The down refrigerant becomes liquid under the continuous action of pressure. After passing through the expansion valve, it enters the evaporator. Because the pressure of the evaporator drops suddenly, the liquid refrigerant quickly evaporates and becomes a gaseous state, and absorbs a lot of heat. At the same time, under the action of the fan, a large amount of air flows through the outer surface of the evaporator, and the energy in the air is absorbed by the evaporator, and the temperature of the airdrops rapidly, turning into the cold air and discharged into the kitchen. Then the refrigerant that has absorbed a certain amount of energy flows back to the compressor and enters the next cycle.
1. Safety, because it is not directly heated by electric heating elements, compared with electric water heaters, it eliminates the potential safety hazards of electricity leakage; Compared with gas water heaters, there are no safety hazards such as gas leakage or carbon monoxide poisoning, so it has better safety performance.
2. Comfortable, the all-in-one heat pump is a heat storage type. The heating function is automatically activated according to the temperature in the water tank to ensure a sufficient supply of hot water for 24 hours. Therefore, there will be no problems that cannot satisfy multiple taps at the same time like a gas water heater. The problem is that the electric water heater has a small capacity and many people need to wait for a bath.
3. Save money, because its power consumption is only a quarter of that of an equivalent electric water heater, which is equivalent to using the same amount of hot water, using an all-in-one heat pump, and the electricity bill is only a quarter of the electric heating.
4. Kitchen refrigeration, is the biggest advantage, ordinary water heaters simply cannot have the function of refrigeration. If the kitchen needs additional cooling function, you need to buy a kitchen air conditioner. Because the kitchen has oily fume, it is a special environment, so the kitchen air conditioner is different from the ordinary air conditioner, and the price is much more expensive.
5. Green and environmentally friendly, the gas water heater heats hot water by burning combustible gas, and at the same time emits a large amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other harmful exhaust gas. The all-in-one heat pump just transfers the heat from the surrounding air to the water, completely achieving zero emissions, and has almost no impact on the environment. It is a true environmentally friendly water heater.
6. Low-carbon fashion, as energy-saving and emission reduction, has become the trend of the times, saving energy and reducing carbon emissions is the most fashionable way of life.
Installation: The all-in-one heat pump is usually installed on the balcony of the kitchen, and the air outlet is connected with the kitchen through the air duct so that the cold air blown out can directly enter the kitchen to achieve the cooling effect. During installation, only the hot and cold water outlets are connected with the reserved hot and cold water in the house, and they can be used by connecting them. The installation is very simple.
Operation: All-in-one heat pumps mostly use microcomputer intelligent controllers, which have time setting, timing switch function, water temperature setting, ventilation setting, overheating protection, and other intelligent control functions. However, most of the functions have been set by the manufacturer at the factory. Just use the default values. Basically, you only need to set the temperature you need (usually set at 45-50 degrees) and you can use it.
It is the responsibility of each manufacturer to produce an industrial all-in-one heat pump that meets the standards, so as to ensure the safety of the use of all-in-one heat pumps and the healthy development of the all-in-one heat pump market. MICOE many tests on all-in-one heat pumps before they leave the factory, and the quality qualification rate is guaranteed.
