Hello. There are five main considerations for choosing an air energy heat pump:
- Look at the brand and manufacturer
Because air energy heat pumps are energy-saving products with very strict technical requirements, before choosing an air energy heat pump, it is necessary to first choose a reliable manufacturer.
(1) It depends on whether the enterprise holds a national industrial product production license. Enterprises that have not passed certification should be eliminated as soon as possible.
(2) It depends on whether the brand has obtained the registration license from the Trademark Office, which can prevent some “mormal equipment” manufacturers from fishing in troubled waters.
By using the above two methods, 20% of the air energy heat pump products on the market can be eliminated.
- Check performance and certification
Through testing by national authoritative departments, we can evaluate the energy-saving performance of products through the COP value. The higher the COP, the more power is saved, and good air energy heat pumps are at least 10% higher than other products. So, sometimes good products may be priced higher when purchased, but they can save a lot of costs during use.
So what is COP value?
COP, also known as coefficient of performance, is the actual cooling coefficient, which is the ratio of equipment cooling capacity to power consumption. The energy efficiency ratio of air conditioning is the ratio of cooling capacity to the input power of the electric motor. The higher the energy efficiency ratio, the higher the refrigeration efficiency, which is relatively more cost-effective.
There are 5 types of energy efficiency levels:
The first type is level 1, with a COP value above 3.4
The second type is level 2, with a COP value between 3.2-3.39
The third party is level 3, with a COP value between 3.0 and 3.19
The fourth one is level 4, with a COP value between 2.8-2.99
The fifth one is level 5, with a COP value between 2.5-2.79
Among them, level 1 is the best and level 5 is the worst. Products with a COP value below 2.79 will not be listed by relevant departments.
Of course, in addition to the COP value, 3C certification is also essential for air energy heat pumps. It is necessary to pass the testing of the National Quality Certification Center to become a qualified product. If there is no 3C certification, it does not need to be considered.
- Look at the technology and appearance
The quality of air source heat pumps is mainly evaluated from four aspects:
(1) Compressor type: The compressor is the core device of the air energy heat pump, and we need to ensure that it is original to prevent manufacturers from using inferior products as substitutes.
(2) Electronic control technology: A high-quality electronic control motherboard can effectively solve some complex problems and reduce small faults in actual operation.
(3) Throttling technology: There are currently three types of throttling technology, namely capillary throttling, electronic expansion valve digital throttling, and thermal expansion valve throttling. Among them, the most advanced is electronic expansion valve throttling.
(4) Shell technology: We must choose an air energy heat pump with a neat and beautiful appearance, excellent sheet metal technology, and stable structure, which can help us avoid many problems in actual use.
- Check installation and after-sales service
For air energy heat pumps, a professional and experienced installation team is crucial as it can directly determine our user experience. At the same time, after-sales service cannot be ignored, as any product, regardless of its quality, may have problems. Whether problems can be solved in a timely manner is also the standard for us to choose an air energy heat pump manufacturer.
- Look at demand and space
Before choosing an air energy heat pump, it is important to first clarify its intended use, whether it is for commercial or household use? If it is for household use, how many people use it? Is the building structure flat or duplex? Is the water usage point centrally distributed or dispersed? Is there a bathtub available? Do you have enough installation space at home? What is the climate of the location? Can the coldest temperature support the operation of air energy heat pumps?
It can be said that the selection of air energy heat pumps is also a discipline. Think carefully beforehand, and then rest assured afterwards.
Whether for commercial or household use, Blute always has a product that suits you! If you want to learn more information, please feel free to leave a message or call.
