Common Problems of Heat Pump Water Heaters

1. Is the air energy heat pump water heater (air source heat pump water heater) a solar product?

Answer: No, solar products generally need direct sunlight or radiation to work normally. If it encounters rainy weather or at night, solar water heaters cannot provide heat normally, so many solar water heaters will work with electricity. The air-energy water heater uses the refrigerant to absorb the heat in the air, and then exchanges heat with the water after the compressor compresses the heat to achieve the heating effect. The air-energy water heater can work as long as it has air, but it will be affected by the outdoor temperature. If the temperature is lower, the working efficiency of the air-energy water heater will also become lower.

2. Does the air energy heat pump water heater (air source heat pump water heater) need electricity?

Answer: Yes. However, the electricity consumption is very small, because it is not directly heated by electricity, but a computer is used to drive the compressor, and the compressor compresses the air to generate heat. In this way, a small amount of electricity can be used to obtain a larger amount of heat. The air energy water heater is about 1/4 of the power consumption of the equivalent electric water heater.

3. Compared with solar water heaters, what are the advantages of air energy heat pump water heaters (air source heat pump water heaters)?

① Air-energy water heaters can heat in rainy weather and at night, but solar water heaters cannot.

②Sustainable heating, continuous supply of hot water, fast hot water supply.

③Easy to install, it can be installed anywhere, not necessarily in a sunny place.
