What's the principle and function of air energy?

2024-10-01
Through the operation of the compressor system, it absorbs heat from the air to produce hot water. The specific process is that the compressor compresses the refrigerant.

The refrigerant with increased temperature after compression passes through the condenser in the water tank to produce hot water.
The refrigerant after heat exchange returns to the compressor for the next cycle. In this process, the air heat is absorbed through the evaporator and introduced into the water to generate hot water.

Such a new generation of water heater that heats air through a compressor is an air (heat pump) water heater.
Disadvantages:
  1. Environmental adaptability issues
    The heat source of an air source heat pump water heater is the air that we all must have. As an energy-saving product, the degree of energy saving is closely related to the COP value and energy efficiency ratio. Since the designed normal working temperature of most air source heat pump water heaters on the market is 0-40℃. Therefore, in the south where the ambient temperature is relatively high, air source heat pump water heaters often have excellent performance.
    In northern cities where the winter temperature is only -10℃, it is difficult for air source heat pump water heaters to achieve the expected effect in the design. If the temperature is -20℃, the unit cannot even start.
  2. Installation
    Domestic air source heat pump water heaters often require a water tank to heat and store hot water. For a family of 3 to 5 people, a water tank of 150L-210L is required. Such a large-sized water tank is not easy to coordinate with the overall home. Therefore, consumers can only install it on the balcony. However, as people's requirements for the home environment increase, consumers are unwilling to accept this big guy on the balcony.
