1. The working principle of air energy floor heating heat pump system
The air energy floor heating heat pump system extracts low-grade heat energy from outdoor air through the principle of "reverse Carnot cycle", which is converted into high-grade heat energy for heating after the compressor works. The work process can be divided into four key stages:
-
Evaporative endothermic: The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air in the evaporator
-
Compression and heating: The compressor compresses low-temperature and low-pressure gases into high-temperature and high-pressure gases
-
Condensation and heat release: High-temperature refrigerants release heat in floor heating pipes
-
Throttle and pressure reduction: The expansion valve reduces the refrigerant pressure and completes the cycle
2. The five core advantages of air energy floor heating
1. Excellent energy-saving and environmental performance
-
Energy efficiency ratio (COP) up to 3.5-4.0
-
Compared with traditional electric heating, it saves more than 60% energy
-
Zero carbon emissions, no combustion pollution
-
Comply with national green building standards
2. Unparalleled comfort
-
Radiant heating on the ground, evenly distributed temperature
-
The room temperature gradient conforms to the ergonomics of "warm feet and cool head"
-
No wind, no noise, no drying
-
Maintain indoor humidity in the optimal range of 40-60%
3. Flexible space utilization
-
The main unit only needs 1-2 square meters of installation space
-
No indoor unit required, no wall occupancy
-
Concealed installation, does not affect the decoration style
-
It can be perfectly combined with solar energy systems
4. Intelligent control system
-
Mobile APP remote control
-
Divided rooms with time-sharing temperature control
-
Automatically memorize user habits
-
Real-time monitoring and analysis of energy consumption
5. Long service life
-
The design life of the main unit is 15-20 years
-
The life of floor heating pipes is more than 50 years
-
Simple maintenance and low failure rate
-
The long-term cost advantage is obvious
3. Four usage restrictions that need to be considered
1. The initial investment is high
-
The equipment + installation cost is about 300-500 yuan/㎡
-
higher than gas wall-hung furnace
-
It takes 5-7 years to recover the cost difference
2. Environmental adaptability limitations
-
The efficiency below -25°C decreases significantly
-
The northern region needs to be equipped with auxiliary heat sources
-
Frost may form when the humidity > 85%
3. Strict installation requirements
-
Professional design of hydraulic systems is required
-
The building insulation requirements are high
-
Power configuration needs to meet demand
4. Operational precautions
-
Avoid frequent start-ups and downs
-
Freeze protection is required in winter
-
Regular cleaning and maintenance
4. Analysis of typical application scenarios
1. Best applicable scenarios
-
Winter heating in the Yangtze River Basin
-
New energy-saving housing
-
A place with high comfort requirements
-
Areas without gas supply
2. Scenarios that need to be carefully chosen
-
extreme low temperature areas
-
Places for intermittent use
-
Renovation of old buildings
-
Areas with unstable electricity
5. Comparison with other heating methods
| Comparison item | Air can be heated on the floor | Gas wall-hung furnace | Electric floor heating | Water floor heating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Initial investment | Higher | medium | Lower | Higher |
| Operating fees | Lower | medium | Higher | medium |
| Comfort | excellent | good | excellent | excellent |
| life span | 15-20year | 8-10year | 10-15year | 50year |
| Environmental | excellent | bad | good | good |
