Revealing the power consumption of air source heat pumps

      As a new type of clean and environmentally friendly heating equipment, air source heat pumps have received strong support from the northern "coal to electricity" coal-fired boiler renovation project in recent years, and have quickly spread to household users in the north. However, there is still great controversy over the use of air source heat pumps, especially their power consumption. Many people believe that air source heat pumps consume a lot of electricity, and even label them as "power tigers" and "power consumers".

      Is the power consumption of air source heat pumpsreally so high? In fact, a heat pump is a high-efficient heating device that is driven by electricity and elevates low-grade heat energy to high-grade. The heat pump unit can absorb heat from nature, and through the "transportation" of the heat pump (electric power driven heat pump), obtain heat energy that can be used for production and daily life.

      Its principle is equivalent to reverse refrigeration air conditioning. According to an industry report released by the China Energy Conservation Association, a heat pump can generate three to four degrees of heat by consuming one degree of electricity, and its energy efficiency is 3-4 times that of an electric water heater. This makes air energy more energy-efficient and energy-efficient compared to other heating equipment. However, his power consumption is also influenced by various factors such as regional climate, housing insulation conditions, and terminal matching types. Overall, heat pumps are still a highly efficient heating equipment superior to electric and gas heating.
