There are 4 factors affect the efficiency and service life of air source heat pump, how to make your heat pump more efficient?
1. Set the maximum temperature and start/stop time to reduce the idle running time, at the same time save a lot of electricity bills;
The high efficiency of the air source heat pump is mainly lead by compressor, compressor can absorb low-grade heat in low-temperature environment and use it to heat domestic water. The operation process is heat pump unit absorbs the low-temperature heat in the air. after the secondary compression of freon in the compressor, the temperature raise, and then the heat is converted into water through the heat exchanger. In order to obtain more heating, the working time of the compressor will keep a long time. So set the maximum temperature and start/stop time to reduce the idle running time will save much.
2.The surrounding environment of the heat pump is well ventilated
The main job of the air source heat pump is to absorb the low-temperature heat in the environment, keep the environment around the heat pump clean and dry, without sundries, and the air is well ventilated, preferably in open area. If the airflow around the unit is not smooth, the ability of the unit to absorb the ambient temperature will decrease, the efficiency of air energy will drop a lot, and other energy sources will be consumed. Inside the unit, it will cause the failure of other components, increasing a certain failure rate.
3.Regular system inspection, maintenance and cleaning
Physical examination is necessary for all equipment. Many equipments are lack of timely inspection, resulted in increased failures and ultimately shortened lifespans. Air source heat pumps also require regular inspections. The inspection items are: check the power supply of the air energy host and the wiring firmness of other electrical systems, whether there are corrosion and oxidation problems, the sensitivity of electrical components, and maintain the efficient operation of electrical components; check whether the water pressure inside the pipeline is normal. the insulation device of the water tank is in good condition, the liquid level controller of the safety valve and the working condition of the exhaust device are used to avoid the water pressure drop affecting the stability of the equipment and the overall heating performance; Do not dismantle or adjust the components without permission, and keep the original integrity.
4.Keep good water quality is necessary for heat pump
The main medium of the air source heat pump is water, and the water has the problem of water quality, the water filter is suggested to install, which can keep the water quality in the system clean, The long-term storage of water inside the water tank is also prone to accumulation of dirt and impurities inside the water tank. In order to keep the water quality inside the water tank healthy and clean, the water tank must be drained and cleaned for a long time; in addition, the outside of the air energy host must be cleaned. , to maintain the heat absorption efficiency of the entire unit, flushing the condenser is one of the
