Notes on the Use of Air Source Heat Pump

The air source heat pump is based on the principle of the inverse Carnot cycle and is driven by electric energy, which effectively absorbs the unavailable low-grade heat energy from the air through the heat transfer mass, and then raises the absorbed heat energy to the available high-grade heat energy and releases it into the water. Next, let's take a look at the precautions when using an air-source heat pump.

Here is the content list:

• Read the instruction manual carefully when installing and using the air source heat pump

• Do not turn off the power frequently during the use of the air source heat pump unit

• Find after-sales service first when the main unit breaks down
  

• Timely cleaning of frost water

• Do not accumulate debris around the host

Read the instruction manual carefully when installing and using the air source heat pump

When installing an air source heat pump unit, consult the manufacturer on how to use the control panel and read the instruction manual carefully. There are many buttons on the control panel of the main unit, some are for adjusting the water temperature, some are for timing, and if the setting is wrong, it may affect the normal operation of the main unit. 

For example, if you press the timing key, the host may not start when it needs to work. When setting, users should not set the room temperature very high in pursuit of "heat", because the unit will work longer and consume more electricity at the same time, and the operation cost may be doubled, so set the appropriate room temperature. The room ventilation should also be done as much as possible during the day when the outdoor temperature is high.

Do not turn off the power frequently during the use of a source heat pump unit

The reason why the heat pump unit should not be disconnected frequently is that air source heat pump heating is using water as an intermediate medium for heat transfer, so if the weather temperature is low, once we turn off the air source heat pump when we go out, it may cause the temperature of a large amount of water flowing in the pipeline to drop sharply. 

If the temperature is too low, it may freeze the equipment and cause the equipment to malfunction. The correct method is to reduce et temperature of the air source heat pump unit to the lowest possible level. This will ensure that there is always a small amount of hot water circulating back and forth in the heat pump piping and that it does not freeze. And because the temperature is very low, the heat pump consumes very little energy as well, so too much power is not wasted. If the air source heat pump is not used for a long time and must be turned off, it is recommended that the water in the heat pump line be drained.

Find after-sales service first when the main unit breaks down

When the air source heat pump unit is in operation, there will inevitably be faults, so users should not try to repair it by themselves or move the unit at will to avoid causing secondary faults of the heat pump unit. The correct approach is to contact the manufacturer's after-sales service to report the problem and tell the other party the fault code on the control panel, and then the after-sales personnel will identify where the problem is according to the fault code. If the problem is simple, such as water flow failure, it can be solved by communication in the telephone repair; if the problem is more complicated, you can ask the after-sales personnel to come to your home to solve the problem in time.

Timely cleaning of frost water

The air source heat pump has a lot of hot and cold changes in the heating, so there will be a lot of frost water discharge in the process of heating. We all know that water flows downhill, so if you are a little negligent in discharging frost water, then the frost water will be discharged through the pipes. Then the frost water will be discharged outward through the pipe and will flow to the ground. If the temperature is below zero, the frost water will easily freeze and may freeze the drain pipe, which will then climb up the drain pipe and cause the equipment to fail to operate normally. Therefore, the location of the frost water pipe should be reasonably designed, and you should clean the frost water from time to time.
