Air Source Heat Pump
Air source heat pump technology extracts heat from the air and uses a small amount of electricity to generate efficient thermal energy for heating, hot water supply, drying, and other applications.

Solve Both Heating and Cooling Needs in One Step for Ultimate Comfort
An air source heat pump unit consists of an outdoor air-source air conditioning unit, indoor underfloor heating, fan coil units, and an intelligent control system. During winter operation, the air source heat pump collects heat from the outdoor air, heats the water in the underfloor heating pipes, and then supplies the hot water required for heating. This hot water is pumped into the indoor low-temperature environment for even heating, gradually raising the temperature to achieve the desired warmth. In summer, a water-based central air conditioning system is used for ventilation and cooling.
Because heat pump heating does not involve combustion, it is an environmentally friendly technology. Compared with direct electric underfloor heating, its COP is greater than 3, resulting in significant energy savings.

Technical Principle
Based on the reverse Carnot cycle principle, this system mainly consists of two parts: the air source heat pump unit and the terminal units. The air source heat pump unit and the terminal units work together; the former provides chilled or hot water, while the latter provides cooling or heating through heat exchange. The air source heat pump unit is the main unit of the heating system. Because it uses an air source condenser, no cooling tower is required; the evaporator is water-cooled, providing chilled water in summer and hot water in winter. The fan coil unit is the terminal device of the air conditioning system and is installed indoors. Just as a water pump lifts water from a low point to a high point, a heat pump can transfer heat from a low-temperature source to a high-temperature environment. Therefore, a heat pump is essentially a heat transfer device; its function is to extract heat from the surrounding environment and transfer it to the object being heated (a higher-temperature object).
